My experience: I asked where priority tendering was. No one knew. They told us to go sit with a group that had a NCL excursion and we would go with them because excursions go first. But several times while walking off the boat with the excursion group we were asked to show our excursion ticket. We held up our room key and stated our tier level. Disembarking: we couldn’t find a line for priority. Tier level meant nothing. If you are in Haven Suite, at least you have an employee with you that gets you to the front of the line.
Thanks so much, this was SUPER helpful, while checking in for my upcoming cruise, I came across priority access. Stopped, looked it up on RU-vid and found this JEM of info.
I've got a penthouse suite on an upcoming NCL cruise. I think they include the Priority Access when you book a suite. After watching your video though, I don't think I'd ever purchase it separately. Thanks for sharing your experience.
That should be some experience! We define wouldn’t be upset if the Priority Access benefits were included with our accommodations, but we don’t plan on buying it separately again either. Thanks for watching. Have an awesome cruise!
Super helpful...I'm on the Norwegian Breakaway next month and I assume the experience will be the same. I'll save my money and use it for an excursion. Thanks so much!!
I had zero persons/no waiting in line on norwegian encore boarding booked Casino at Sea offer. Just got back this Sept 1-8th sailing Alaska it was awesome!
We had the exact same experience. We thought we missed a communication on how to use the Priority Access. We are cruising again in Feb and plan to get there later in the day so we can just walk on. I really don't like cruising Carnival but their faster to the fun is awesome. They have a separate line and you basically just walk on the ship.
Thanks for sharing your experience. We wish NCL had this figured out, because we agree that an experience comparable to Faster to the Fun would be a better NCL perk than Priority Access. Thanks for watching!
My cruise isn’t until Christmas. I bought priority access today for my two staterooms. Hopefully, they’ve fixed some of the issues you’ve stated. I’ve yet to find anyone who recommends it.
We hope you find it worthwhile. More importantly, we hope you have an awesome cruise. We would love to hear your experience with Priority Access after you return. Thanks for watching!
We love NCL cruises. Our experience with Priority Access did not impress us, but we hope that they have fixed the problems. We hope you have a wonderful cruise on Breakaway! Thanks for watching.
This was just our experience. We hope things have improved so you feel good about your purchase. Choosing Norwegian for your first cruise is actually an easy way to get addicted to cruising. They do so much so well. We would love to hear about your experience after you return, Ruby. If you are willing, please come back and comment here again or email us at info@cruisedayfun.com so we can give others an update. Have an amazing cruise!
