One night cruises?
One night cruises?
As it happens, there's a one night NCL cruise from Seattle to
Vancouver two days before a conference in Seattle I might attend; I
could go up a few days early, cruise to Vancouver, take the train back
down, and be ready for my conference the next day.
What do y'all think of one night cruises? Get onboard early one
afternoon and back off the next morning - is that enough to get any
kind of feel for the ship?
One more cruise credit on NCL isn't enough to move me up to the next
level in the Latitudes guest program, but on the other hand the cruise
isn't very expensive, and I could try a different room type.

Since you are going to be in Seattle for a conference, I would take this
one night cruise. It would give you time to see Vancouver and also spend
more time in Seatlle. Being such a short cruise, it most likely will be
a party cruise and you won't have much time to see/enjoy the ship. I see
this more as pleasant transportation to see Vancouver.lol

Re: One night cruises?
NCL does not count a cruise of anything less than 3 nights towards
your Latitudes level. They do not count cruises that you might have
taken prior to 1980 either. Still, one night cruises are a lot of fun
and a great way to just enjoy the ship and all of its facilities for a
short time. We have done two of them, and for us they are always a
great way to see on-board friends just one last itme before the end of
the season.

Sounds like a good opportunity to "experiment". If you've never had an
inside cabin before... give it a shot, and with the money you save, go to
the specialty restaurant on board... try a different martini than you've
ever had... something like that.

A ferry would be cheaper. Some are overnight featuring dinner and
breakfast.

There are no ferries between Seattle and Vancouver.
Too bad you need a 3 night cruise to get a Latitudes credit. Maybe
I'll rethink this.

Not directly, but there is a ferry between Vancouver and Victoria on
Vancouver Island. Then another ferry takes you to Seattle. In some ways
that's better then non-stop. You get some time to tour Victoria.
