Airfare and transport

[curlstravel]

If your booking includes airfare and transport, does, it include a hotel?

No

The included airfare is typically very early in the morning the day of your cruise, or an overnight flight, depending on where they can get the lowest fare.  Hotels are not included.

If you choose a 'diversion' to fly in a day or two early or to fly home later, you need to alert NCL at least 75 days before your cruise.  You get a teeny credit ($25) for allowing NCL the flexibility of finding the absolutely lowest airfare.

You don't get any say on how much earlier those flights are - we've had as many as 3 days (2 extra nights), but it varies.  No hotel included here, either.

 

However, we have occasionally seen pre/post packaged offered, where NCL books your hotel (again, no choice) and includes transportation between airport/hotel and hotel/ship on a shared van. We have never availed ourselves of this option, but know for sure that it's an extra charge.

 

Regular airfare is the flight (economy, no choice of airline or flights) and transport on the big bus between airport and pier - both ways.  You are at their mercy as far as schedule.
