We’re looking for similar information as we haven’t done an overnight at a port before. We are on the NCL Escape in May 2024 and will also be overnight in Livorno. We haven’t found much info regarding passengers returning to the ship during this stopover. I’ll share if I learn anything; I like knowing how much I can plan and what to expect before going on my vacation.

Thanks for sharing! I didn’t even know this was a thing. Is this separate from room service or is this what they’re calling it now? I see drinks and snacks but not full meals, so I’m guessing it’s not exactly room service. I wish this were included in the beverage package (I upgraded us to Premium Plus to reduce extra charges since the hubs and boy are a little bougie with their alcohol). Are there any classes that include SWIFT for no extra charge? Perhaps Haven? 😉 You would think after what we are paying to enjoy our vacation we could get pampered a tiny bit.

Thanks for sharing your experience; it looks like you had a wonderful time! We are booked for a 9-day Mediterranean on the Escape next June and are very much looking forward to exploring the ship and all the ports.

Thank you for sharing your packing list! The last time I packed this efficiently was in 2007 when I met my husband in Germany while he was on military R&R. I always think I’m going to pack well then thrown in things “just in case” and almost never wear everything. I also enjoyed your “Live” review from the Escape. We’ll be on this ship in May for a 9-day Mediterranean cruise, so I’m ingesting as much as I can over the next 10 months so I know what to expect when we’re finally on board. ***I also would like to know what phone cross-body you have. I’m the picture taker and love cross-body bags, so it’s a win-win for me.***

Cobblestone is bumpy to walk on and drive over. The surface is uneven, the gaps are inconsistent, and some stones may be broken, leaving divots where you might expect a flat, even surface. It looks really pretty and was incredibly useful when modern paving methods did not exist, but it’s impractical for people with walking issues or when dragging wheeled luggage around. Wear comfortable and sturdy shoes, pay attention to gaps in the stone, and don’t walk too quickly. Use more caution if it’s wet or icy. Enjoy your visit!
