Is NCL Priority Access Worth It?

[@jaydiaz7815]

Subscribed and enjoy your channel...alot of inside info that helps. I am going on the NCL Bliss to Alaska in August 2023. I got a discount on Priority Access ($170 vs. $230), and contrary to what you said in the video, we feel some of this would cater to us. I imagine Priority has a different breakdown for different groups or couples. From what i've seen August is towards the end of prime time and the boat might have 60-75% occupancy, so the Embarkation might come in handy. The daily room service should be good as we are early risers and will probably only order coffee and small pastries or fruit. We can then take our time going up to have a small breakfast later in the morning. The canapes? nice, but a quick snack on our way to Lunch (lol)...the Tenders will not be needed as we are in 5 ports during the trip and not necessary. The Spa might work for us as we plan on booking spa treatments at the tail end of one of our port stops (kind of weird, considering that each of the ports I am visiting I want to go and explore for the whole time we are there, I mean, Im going to Alaska to sightsee and hike not get a seaweed facial) alas, my wife seems to be interested in cutting an hour off of one of the longer port stops. Getting off the boat, I do not see how this is advantageous as from the cruises I've been on they cant wait to throw you off the boat, lol...I am staying 2 days in Seattle upon return so it makes no difference when I get off....I guess it boils down to what works best for the cruise your going on....I will keep watching your videos and look for possible stops in our cruising future......if you have one of those $250 vouchers handy, I would put it to good use...lol....have a great day and keep those videos coming!

Thanks so much for watching! Hope it works well for you!!!

very good information, Thanks. I will be going on my first NCL cruise this fall and was wondering if they had a program like Carnival's Faster to the Fun. F2F, for me was worth it. Not nearly as expensive and I was able to take full advantage of all the perks. You have given me something to think about for NCL.

[@ByteSizeCruises]

Thanks so much.

My daughter and son in law worked for NCL for several years and they always say that the number one thing to bring is “patience “.

[@ByteSizeCruises]

So so true

[@backdraft6290]

I just bought it, i hope i dont regret it.

[@ByteSizeCruises]

Let me know what you think

[@GratefulHeartTravels]

Can you share how to apply for a press pass?

[@ByteSizeCruises]

Sure. You just have to email the NCL press and or department. The email address is on the NCL website

How do you get priority access? I don’t see it as an option

[@ByteSizeCruises]

It’s a limited option so there are only a few hundred per sailing. So if it’s not there it’s either sold out or not available for that sailing

[@linda2391]

it sounds like the perks with a suite...i have never see this offered outside of the suite

[@ByteSizeCruises]

Agreed. It’s not really publicized a lot

[@vicki8042]

I didn't even realize they have this.

[@ByteSizeCruises]

Yep. They don’t really push it a lot.
