When Mitch Geriminsky and I went to Miami, Florida to embark on our cruise to the Bahamas two years ago, we arrived early in the morning of the day of departure. To say the least, I was leery over this. We had booked a shuttle from the airport to the cruise terminal, but the shuttle never showed up and the shuttle company didn't answer their phone. We ended up getting a ride to the terminal with Uber.
When we went on our Cuba cruise in 2019, I arrived a day early and stayed at a Fort Lauderdale Motel 6. No problems.
Norwegian Cruise Line recommends that cruise passengers arrive a day earlier so not to miss their cruise ship. This is a wise policy as anything can happen before reaching the cruise terminal.
According to Cruise Hive:
Norwegian Cruise Line has updated its NCL Air policy, effective immediately, requiring all airfare bookings through the NCL Air program to schedule guests to arrive at least one day ahead of their cruise ship’s departure date, regardless of homeport or sailing date.
The policy change takes effect from January 26, 2026, and now applies to all new reservations, including air arrangements, as well as any existing reservations that may be repriced from this date forward.
