102.1 | It will work out... | MAMTS1::DSCHAEFFER | | Fri Mar 24 1989 14:10 | 12 |
| Donna,
One of the guys here in Blue Bell, Pa., is leaving on his honeymoon
this coming week on the Norway. He also had Eastern tickets, but
the travel agents straightened out the matter and he's flying on
American Airlines. He got the matter straightened out about 10
days ago.
Hope this puts your mind at ease a little bit. Enjoy your trip!

| DONNA,
My Mom will be cruising with you on the Norway. They were also
booked on Eastern, but their travel agent made them aware of their
new flights, times, etc. quite a while ago.
Hope all works out and enjoy your cruise - this is my mother and
fathers first REAL vacaction and they are really looking forward
to it.

| What travel agent did they have? My agent (AAABCO) claim they can't do
anything because NCL won't rebook people for next week until this weeks
are done.

102.4 | April 15th Norway Cruise | JAWS::MOSCHILLI | | Mon Mar 27 1989 13:56 | 8 |
| We are booked on the April 15th Norway Cruise. It is a group of
22 and we have been told that the NCL is working the 15th's flight
arrangements this week (3/27) and she will know more on Monday (4/3).
Has anyone else had flight problems since the Eastern strike?

102.7 | There is a God! | CLUSTA::RITTER | Donna D. Ritter | Tue Mar 28 1989 16:42 | 2 |
| My air arrangements just came through! NCL is express mailing my
tickets to me for leaving on April 1rst! There is a God.....

102.8 | Now we're on a Chartered Plane! | DARTS::MOSCHILLI | | Thu Apr 06 1989 17:47 | 22 |
| We are scheduled to leave on the Norway April 15th from Boston and
have just been informed by my cruise agent that NCL is chartering
a United plane for all of its Sea/Air passengers sailing on the
15th and flying out of New England area.
Instead of flying out Saturday morning, we are flying out 10:00
pm on Friday. We will be transferred to a hotel for the evening
(what's left of it) and transferred to the ship the next morning.
Our return is worse....Sunday morning at 2:00 am!! Again, on Saturday
we will be brought to a hotel for the day and then transferred to
the airport for the 2:00 am flight home.
I could be very positive and look at this as an extended vacation,
but I think at 2:00am I'm going to be "cranky"!!
Is anyone else having this much trouble? With school vacation and
Eastern's strike I suppose we're likely to be getting their at all!

102.9 | Speak up! | ATSE::FLAHERTY | Evolving, not revolving | Thu Apr 06 1989 22:10 | 16 |
| My sister was having some trouble with Princess/Sitmar
for her April cruise on the new ship Fair Majesty (or whatever
it is being called now by Princess). They called the cruise
line directly and complained (to a number of people). The
squeeky wheel gets the grease, because now not only do they
get a hotel room at the Hilton in Miami to stay in till their
plane departs, but dinner at the hotel is thrown in (for 8
people), transportation to the hotel and airport, along with a $200
bar/gift shop tab for each (the two) families on board the ship!
Ah to think of all the times I've sat in airports between the
time the boat docks and the plane leaves for home, if I'd only
known!

102.10 | NCL putting us up at the Omni | DARTS::MOSCHILLI | | Tue Apr 11 1989 17:43 | 15 |
| We received notification that we are going to be put up at the Omni
International in Miami the Friday before the Cruise and Saturday
after the Cruise, at NCLs expense. I asked our agent about them
paying for our dinner, but she said that they will not do it. She
said that the first thing they look at is how much you paid for your
ticket. If you paid full price they will, but we were given a
great discount so they won't pay for our meals.
Oh well . . . at least we tried.
When your sister returns from her cruise I'd be interested in
hearing about it. I heard that ship is great.

102.11 | NCL got us good flights | CLUSTA::RITTER | Donna D. Ritter | Wed Apr 12 1989 09:52 | 9 |
| We went on the Norway from April 1 - April 8. We had a great time, and
the flights were okay. We flew into Ft Lauderdale Saturday morning and
a bus took us tothe ship (about 45 minutes). We left on the following
Saturday afternoon - both on Delta.
The cruise was magnificent. Well worth any small problems in the air -
although I would not have liked getting home a day later.

102.12 | Standby on Continental aok | CGVAX2::KAZAZIAN | | Fri Apr 14 1989 13:16 | 6 |
| We were on the Noordame the week of april 1 - 8. We left Friday
morning and were poolside in Ft. Lauderdale by 2pm. It went very
smoothly being on standby both down and back.
Donna - We were waving to the Norway folks as both ships left St.
Thomas, did you see me? We had a GREAT time too.
|
102.13 | We saw you! | CLUSTA::RITTER | Donna D. Ritter | Fri Apr 14 1989 16:23 | 1 |
| Sure - I saw ya! I waved too...

102.14 | NCL takes care of its passengers! | JAWS::MOSCHILLI | | Wed Apr 26 1989 15:33 | 30 |
| We sailed on the Norway April 14-22.
We flew out of Boston on Friday evening 10:00 pm on a special chartered
plane. Keep in mind this was a major school vacation week. We
arrived in Miami, our luggage went into holding and was brought directly
to the ship on Saturday. We packed overnight bags to take with
us. We were bused to the Omni International, checked into the hotel
and in bed by 2:45 am!
The next morning we visited the malls and later in the day were
bused to the ship.
Our flight home was not until 2:00 am. Saturday morning we were bused
to the Omni. United had a truck at customs to pick up our luggage
and brought it directly to the airport. We spent the day at Bayside
which is a wonderful Mall near the docks, had dinner, took a nap
and were bused to the airport at 11:30 for a 1:30am flight home.
NCL and the Omni did an excellent job of taking care of us and
providing the best possible service under conditions that they
had no control over.
See Note 36.13 for a review of my cruise on the Norway.
