Very interesting to read. My mother turns 60 next year and mentioned wanting to go on a Disney cruise. I am pretty loyal to NCL and just got off the prima on a trip to Iceland/Norway (I think half the ship got covid on there too). Anyways, we wanted to do a Europe trip and just came by to search some thoughts on the Disney Dream. With paying this much for their sailings and seeing these reviews, is it really worth it? It will be her birthday present and can't really seem to persuade her to sailing my usual line, so it will ultimately be up to her.

I’m hoping you meant 2024. 😝. We had jet blue to Boston and then Iceland air to Reykjavik. I usually do American. Jet blue was god awful and Iceland air was one of the best, except for the red eye. Barely slept. On the way back we had air Canada all the way, stopping in Montreal. Loved them!!! Staff were great. Once NCL gave us the air details I was able to choose the fire exit row for all flights for that extra leg room. -

Have you ever cruised out of Reykjavik?
PhillyTravelBug replied to teacher/bartender's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
Just got off the Prima sailing from Reykjavik and highly recommend it. Spend two days beforehand if possible. -

What are you thinking for your next cruise? would you do the prima next or wait? Personally, I'm thinking of going back to the breakaway class or older. -

@golden6911 love the ranking of the restaurants. I was getting quite worried about the prima and the two big flaws you mentioned, especially those weights in the gym above a spa. *****!? that never occurred to anyone when designing this ship? -
i usually wait for triple point sales and airfare and all the other crap. Lol.

Unfortunately, since we did a tour, we only had 2 hours there from 5pm (17:00) until 7pm (19:00). We were so starved though we just grabbed a grab and go sandwich. $25 for that! -
NCL Air - Southampton - SOU or LHR?
PhillyTravelBug replied to ckgckg's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
We are actually flying home to Philadelphia in a few hours from LHR. We connect in Montreal and our friends connect in Toronto on air Canada. -

Just to know if you haven’t read, there is a complimentary bus from where you get off the ship to a terminal just outside the port. It only takes a few minutes and everyone has to take it since they don’t allow you to walk around. Once there, there are ticket counters for a bus transfer to Bruges. We purchased ours in advance, but I’m not quite sure it’s necessary. We had to wait about ten minutes for the bus. Once in its abkut a 25 minute ride to town. The bus lets you off outside and there’s a short walk. Just follow the masses. You will get your steps in, but there’s so much to see. There are multiple areas to walk up and do a canal tour. It’s a little bit of a line by afternoon, so recommend in the morning. it was 12 pounds. I highly recommend getting off the ship first thing. We got lots of pictures early in the morning with uncrowned streets. By afternoon, it’s extremely crowded, but still very enjoyable. good luck! -

we had a quick bite to each and did self assist regarding our luggage. We left around 7:45 am, took a cab ride over to the train station and only took 5 minutes. We could have walked I’d we wanted to. Our train tickets were for 9:25. It would have been cutting it very close, but we had about 5 minutes until the 8:25 train. We could have made that one, but it would have cost us 80 more pounds. -
