  1. The only way I am aware of is a 6 day or more cruise. It is the only way to acquire latitude points.
  2. Yes, this is the promotion I booked under. Not totally sure of your question or who it was for? All the codes/promotions you get with your booking are at the top of the confirmation invoice(PDF) they email you. Hope this helps.
  3. Did not see this one on list.... REFCC-25 Anyone know what it is? I know we got 25%off transatlantic sailings. Also had a 10% off credit for a canceled sailing in the fall of 2022. It was getting ready to expire at the end of February. It was really hard to say no to this offer. Thanks for keeping the list updated. I have referenced it several times over the last 6 years.
  4. Thanks for this suggestion as we will be returning to London for a pre-cruise stay in late November. One of the reasons I found this thread. Globaliser, I agree. I can't remember how much we paid in 05' but it certainly wasn't that much. Thanks for your wealth of info in some of the other threads I have been following for transportation info. It is greatly appreciated.
  5. This had lots of views(no responses) so I checked to see what the difference was. It has been about 18 years since we were in London and I booked the regular tickets for a specific time(At night and it was pretty spectacular). After just looking at the Eye website/ticket options it seems there are far more choices now. Fast track seems to be a way of extracting more $ from you IMO. Advance ticket 30 pounds, walk-up 42 pounds, Fast track 50 pounds. Show up anytime and have a dedicated line to get on quicker I guess. Seems pretty much the same as walk-up because that too would be anytime. Only difference is go to front of line? So no, I don't think it would be worth it. You have to choose what works best for you. Only factor would be weather? Rainy or not. Anyhow, I can only imagine you have made some choice by now. I wish you well. Enjoy your time in London and mostly on your Eye ride. 🙂
  6. Just posting our current experience(we sail in 17 days). I only know what I paid for one upgrade to unlimited via their offer on our account. We had option to upgrade one or two. I got the upgrade as an anniversary gift for my partner of 25 years. I like to unplug and will be fine with my 300 minutes. So for our current sailing of 16 days they want $336 for unlimited for the duration. Upgrade price was 254 and some odd change. Difference $81. So in the question you posted, how much is the trade-in value toward unlimited? In our case it is only $81. Should you wait until you board( or second day as some suggest) your savings or trade-in amount may be different. I was only giving you an honest answer to your question. Hope it has been helpful. 🙂
  7. For our upcoming cruise we both have the 300 minutes. I upgraded one to unlimited thru their upgrade offer. $336 regular price for 16 days. Upgrade price was for just shy of$255. A difference of $81 or $5 a day. So in our case it would have been worth $162 if we both gave up our 300 minutes for the upgrade. This is a prepaid upgrade offer on my NCL account. It ends up being about $16 a day for unlimited use for duration of cruise.
  8. I ran into an issue. You are fully vaccinated if you have had your initial vaccination(s) and one booster. No further boosters needed. If you have not had a booster within 270 days of your initial vaccination you will need to get a booster. The link I provided gives this info. You should be able to find a Farmacia to do a covid test and provide you the results within an hour. Inconvenient, yes. At this time, required. Not sure when you are sailing but it could change by then. These are requirement if your cruise originates in Greece. Now I am confused.🙄 I am only trying to help. I promise. 🤗
  9. https://www.ncl.com/travel-requirements-by-country#greece Sorry, long winded. I let the air out.
  10. Thanks so much for posting! We are heading to Venice in a month. Will certainly watch it to gain some insight on the city's island system. I'm so excited! I do hope we don't experience to much flooding during our stay.
  11. We'll be joining you on this cruise. My best bet would be to check out the marine traffic to maybe be able to see where she is. https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/home/centerx:-12.0/centery:25.0/zoom:4 Just put Norwegian Escape in the search box. She's on her way to Malta right now. We may get lucky and get some updates via crew on that other site that shall not be named. I think Fanny Brice is her name. She's quite a funny girl. 🤩
  12. Thank you for clarifying this. I was most interested in #10 but noticed after I posted link the date on the document itself.
  13. I found this PDF of frequently asked questions via Bermudas website. I found # 10 to be especially helpful information for the cruisers. https://www.gov.bm/sites/default/files/Bermuda Travel Authorisation FAQs_5.pdf Of course we should all know by now things can change again before future sailings. I should note it is dated May 2022...
  14. Yes, I worried about this when NCL had the pre-cruise testing requirement. Then they dropped it from European sailings(for most ports) and we sighed a sigh of relief. Now only to have Bermuda dictate that we must test to even embark on our journey. NCL is caught in a catch 22 with Bermuda and IMO Bermuda is taking advantage of it. I would hate to pay for the travel authorization, get tested to embark, and never even make it to Bermuda. It is a tricky port to navigate and weather conditions can easily abort a port stop here. Escape was several hours late on the East bound TA earlier this year for exactly this reason. We'll keep our fingers crossed that NCL cancels this port well in advance of us starting our hoop jumping. Cancellation is not an option for us at this point. See you in a couple of months. 🙂
  15. We went to Leonetti when we were in Rome 5 years ago. I really liked it and we were the only ones there other than a couple that finished up shortly after we got there. It was holiday for most Italians (early November) and football playoffs were on. Great service and really enjoyed the food. Would you consider this to be a tourist trap type restaurant? It was just a couple blocks south of Termini station. To me this was more traditional style. We also went to another restaurant that was more Tuscan style. It was called Restorante Alfredo. Being it was our first time to Rome we had no idea where to eat. I liked the traditional style and my partner liked the Tuscan. We will be here for a day and a half at the end of Oct. Will definitely try a couple of the other suggestions here. Thanks for everyone's time and suggestions on this thread, they are greatly appreciated.
