Take a taxi or Uber. Should be like 20 EUR. You can take the train, too. Lots of options. When you get to Akropoli, lots of stuff to do adjacent too. You'll be fine. Make you you remember which spot your ship docks at for when you get back.

There are usually multiple ships in port. Athens is a major city, and there is no shortage of taxis.

This is crazy! I just watched a TikTok about hopping on a train to Monet's house to see the lillies in the pool after seeing his work at Musee de Orsay, and then I come to read this wow

Successfully disembarked in Le Havre, a day early and on the train to paris!

I have 4 at sea days starting now. I'm going to remember this at the casino.

Okay now they just asked me for my outgoing flight. I think I'm all good!.

I am currently on my cruise and corporate didn't forward the approval, so I'm still waiting for approval. Not worried, since front desk didn't seem to think it was a problem, but we'll see.

Oh, we are boarding a TA cruise out of NYC on Thursday. I should have clarified. We get to Reykjavik on Day 8 and have 23 hours in port. I assume that we will be adjusted to time by then. I agree that driving around to find stuff might be too aggressive. Lunch on boat, Lagoon, drive around town to shop and dinner. Mom can go to sleep, I can go find a nightclub. Then in the morning, coffee and stroll then back to ship.

Oh, I'm going next week

Hey there. I'n trying to put together a 23hr itinerary for Iceland with my elderly mom. She down to do stuff, just walks a little slow. Would like to get as much experience in as possible. What do you think about this itinerary? We arrive at 2pm on Thursday and leave 1pm on Friday, so we maybe have 21 hours of usable time. I'm thinking that I rent a car from Blue or whatever is local to the port, check in at a hotel downtown, spend a couple of hours at Sky Lagoon, drive around in whatever route makes sense to see stuff, have dinner and maaayyyyybe try to search for the northern lights that night, sleep. Then the next morning just have coffee and do some shopping and get back to the boat around 11a. Does this sound feasible? Would you add or change anything? Please and thanks.

Yes, I think I posted the resolution in the other thread where you gave me Katty's info. Her office called me and informed me that they approved my downline. The status is that since I've already been granted entry into the EU by stopping in Ireland prior, I am simply a tourist in the region. I am allowed and able to disembark, and once I do, my status on the ship is null, and I am on my own. No immigration events needed. Thanks again for providing that info.

you should be fine. The cruise isn't in the USA. Email Katty, as referenced above, ahead of time and ask.

So here is a definitive answer: Katty Byrd's office called me to say that they approved the downline, and that it's in the system. I just need to confirm once I get on the ship. Also, once I leave the ship at my early port, I can't get back on, so make sure that I have everything. Also, I have to carry my own bags off. I can also cancel the downline and finish the cruise, should I reconsider before my downline port. Now, I need to read threads on how to get to Paris city from the port lol.

Oh super cool. Thanks for this. I was about to ask if anyone had the email address to inquire.

Update: Someone at NCL finally told me that you can do it, but you have to ask while on the ship.
