 There is another person on this cruise with my name. First and last. Never seen that before. 15 years older.

 

 

What was HIS name? Glad you are back on track but seems like you have a long afternoon to go.

I got through the first line. They needed my passport and gave me my room key.

Now I’m in the second line. This is where I get my train ticket.

@Saint Greg...sorry to see wet streets and rain in Anchorage today for your travel day.

 

That train setup looks like it could use some organization for sure!  Let us know how long it was between checkin and you actually get to your seat!

That’s THE NCL newbie card - the colour, the shell, and there is no Latitude status line.

This guy is very authentic. They were dressed like that on the NJ railway but I was stressed and toting my suitcase so I didn’t stop for pics.

1D = one specialty dinner included 

2UP = 2 additional specialty dinners purchased 

P+ = Premium Plus Beverage package - all-in!

So what’s the deal with the 1 dinner. I see that on my booking receipt but i swear the free at sea included 2. Then I booth that upgrade that was supposed to give me 2 more. I should at least have 3.

All the info/details about getting to and on the the train are so helpful. Will be able to seriously consider this itinerary for next year.
