Thanks for your help! :)

Is it me, or is the cancellation policy confusing to everyone? If I cancel a balcony 100 days out and before final payment is due, will the deposit be fully refunded? Does the deposit have to be applied to another cruise. I don't see an option where I can cancel the reservation on the NCL site. My NCL. Thanks! :)

thank you SoloCruzr for your information

You're welcome. Glad to help.

LAX airport regulations require uber and lyft to pick up at the departure level upstairs. It is fairly easy to get to the departure level from the arrival level. There are escalators and elevators. If you have problems finding your way to the departure level, ask traveler assistance where the closest uber pick up is located. United is in terminal 7 and you need to request uber or lyft at rideshare service pick up area F. Just request a ride after you have collected your luggage and are curbside. I recommend the low cost uberX unless you have excessive luggage. You will likely be picked up in a Camry or other mid-sized vehicle. Price from LAX to San Pedro is about $40. Check this link for more details. https://www.uber.com/airports/lax/ Hope that helps.

Load both uber and Lyft on your device. Compare fare pricing on both apps and go with the lowest up front pricing fare.

Uber's prices can surge at any time. Both platforms are similar and in my experience if uber is surging 4x, check

Lyft. Lyft usually never surpasses Uber's surcharge. Then there's super shuttle for 20 bucks per person from LAX to pier in San Pedro. I think overall uber and Lyft are the best options in at LAX.

You can take a family of 4 in an uberx and the cost would be under $30 depending on traffic. You will be charged about a dollar a mile. (Uberx) A good guesstimate system to figure your fare is take the number of miles you will be traveling and times that number by $1. These figures are for non-surging rides. It's always very accurate within a few dollars.

Now if the rates are surging and you aren't pressed for time, you could wait out the surge. In my experience, surge will last 2, 5, 6, or 10 minutes. It will adjust, even disappear. Surges rarely happen at the airport so hopefully you won't not have to deal with that. Hope this info helps [emoji3]

Uber or Lyft is probably your best option. I'm

Pretty sure they both have "upfront pricing" now, so you know how much your fare is before you order.

Uber is approximately $20

My upcoming cruise on the Getaway, I booked an inside and was able to use the savings to purchase Thermal Spa passes for the week. Well worth it IMO.

The receptionist at the spa will put a spa sticker on the back or your cabin key card and also give you a wrist band to wear. They keep your cabin card at the reception desk until you check out of the spa. The spa is well worth the extra $.

for those that have used the spa (esp. on the Getaway), how does the "check-in" work? I've heard you get a sticker on your key card or a wristband (or just walk in because they don't pay attention to you). I don't want to have to carry much (or lose anything-I do that a lot lol). I'd be the only one getting it so hubby would be back in the room to let me back in

If Zipline is your thing, there is a legit zipline in Avalon. Not sure if this excursion is offered on the ship. If not, google catalina zipline. There is a golf course as well.

Turn that ship around! [emoji50] I'm really looking forward to this port next month on the Getaway.

I agree 100%. Wine is overpriced at resturants as well.

Wine is WAY overpriced on ships...and I mean to the point of gouging......try different wines at home, to find what you like....and know that a "good" wine is one you like...being expensive doesn't necessarily make it "good"!
