Using Norweigan Cruises Pride of America - Airfare from Chicago

Has anyone used the flights booked by NCL POA Cruises form Chicago Ohare? How we're the flight times we're doing the pre & post hotels. March 2018. Would like to get some idea on flights times and airlines used. We're senior citizens and sitting long hours can be a little uncomfortable. Cruises in Chicago

You might find some answers here, though these folks are coming from Dallas.

Also, you can look up flights online just to see what options exist. In reality, cruise lines often have multiple ways they book these things. Sometimes the rates are less, sometimes they are more.

Hi I also had questions on the NCL air arrangements. Cruise is in May and have to pay in full soon. Still unsure on the air. We are flying from JFK in New York. Did anyone have trouble reserving seats with the airlines. Also when will you be informed on what flights were arranged. Is using the NCL premium worth it?

We flew from Chicago to Honolulu non stop on United...we were able to make seat selections...return flight was on American...also able to make seat selections..however...I do believe American has changed their fee structure...only on "premium" economy are u able to select seats in advance...not sure if NCL booked economy or "premium" economy...my guess economy....
