    Has anyone done this excursion?

    The NCL ship is completely different from the other NCL ships and is staffed mostly with Americans due to the fact that it is American flagged. That ship doesnt get great reviews. However, We took the cruise in 2017 and enjoyed ourselves. The ship and service were ok but we were there to see Hawaii and it was a good way to island hop.

    I have used and recommend Dial 7 car service. Have also heard good things about Carmel Car Service.

    I saw that the Icon will have windows on the promenade because people do enjoy seeing the sea.

    Did you like Royal?

    Beautiful pictures in Puerto Plata but sorry to hear about your negative experience with the taxi drivers. That mimosa blossom sounds delicious.

    I think the itinerary you are looking at is a good one because it starts in Barcelona and ends in Rome. So, you could spend 2 days post cruise in Barcelona and additional days in Rome post cruise. So, you would have a combo land and sea adventure.

    Celebrity only sails to Bermuda May, June, and July. You could try Royal. September is hurricane season in both Bermuda and Caribbean,

    Why not try a Bermuda cruise on the Eclipse out of New Jersey? Bermuda is lovely and you could include pre cruise time in New York.

    Sounds wonderful. Would love to hear about your land portion alos.

    I noticed that you have also sailed NCL. NCL has done a better shop in updating/ renovating their older ships. Take a look at Jade, Jewel, Gem, etc if you want a classic older ship.

    We did it this past October and it was very good. Crowds weren't too bad but understand crowds were worse in September

    Some of the ports you can explore independently. If you prefer an excursion, I really enjoyed Opa, a Greek Celebration in Santorini and in Kusadasi, Turkey, Ephesus is a must see.

    Agree with DCGuy especially if you have never been to Rome. If you have done Rome before, then maybe you would be more comfortable in Civi. When we cruised out of Rome (Civi) in 2015, we spent 3 extra nights beforehand in Rome and 1 night in Civi. Wished we had spent 4 nights in Rome.

    In Juneau, they have vendors at the port. Check out the Alaska Port message board.

    Safe flight home. Didn't realize it was your first cruise trip.

    Yep, we took the Epic from Italy in 2015. It was my husband and son's first time to Europe. It was a special trip. We enjoyed some of the same activities and my son met kids from different countries at the Teen Club.

    Hope you get there safely and on time.

    DaveKathy, are you going to write a review? Would love to hear more.
  20. Crazy planning mom
    How young are your kids?

    I like option # 3 also but I would add at least 3 days on land before the cruise. You need time to see Rome and take the train to Florence for a day or overnight. Then, at the end of your trip, add in an extra day or two to see Barcelona..

    We used Guided Tours Israel this past October and also recommend them.

    Thanks for your review and have a safe trip back.

    I am following a live trip report on another board. Seas have been very choppy. Is there a time of year when seas are less choppy? What is the best ship/line to take in the Mexican Riviera? We have sailed Royal and NCL the most. I am tempted to try Princess but will it be too sleepy?

    Anthem and Quantum are similar ships. Alaska is great but with the Norway trip you could stay a couple days in London pre-cruise.
