My advice for santorini....be sure to get an excursion, otherwise you spend 2 hrs waiting for the cablecar!!!! It was terrible.

 

I've already booked the Ancient Akrotiri & Wine Tasting excursion for there..... Combining two of my favourite things....... History and Alcohol........ 🤪

Ok, I'm back so ready to confirm the checkin process for you.  We were only asked to show our passports and our vax record, which in my case showed the original 2 shots plus one booster.

Have a great cruise!

Excellent, thank you. I hope you had a great time. 

Ok....... That escalated quickly........ 😶 😬 

Thank you all for the advice. I have decided to go with printing, folding & laminating while using the attachable plastic tags that I've ordered from Amazon AND attaching when I collect my bag from the carrousel. I also do have an airtag which I do use in my luggage in case it goes missing, only ever once did my luggage not arrive back with me and that was about 15yrs ago coming home from Amsterdam, and that arrived by taxi at my house the following day.

If I do come across any problems with this method I shall let ye know on my return.....  

First time cruiser here. I'm getting ready for my cruise in less than two weeks and was looking at the printable luggage tags. Just printing them on A4 paper looks pretty flimsy to me, I'd be afraid of them being accidentally ripped off. I was thinking of laminating it, does anyone know if this is allowed or acceptable?

Thank You.

@Seniorsailors I'm sure it will do you good and help you.

@mapleleaves Excellent, thank you. Yes, I'm on the Gem (3 weeks from Sunday), boarding in Trieste. 

@HuliHuli So what (I think) you're saying is that we don't need a PCR test......?

From what I can see on the Greek Government Website, no documentation is necessary. (Please correct me if I'm reading it wrong).

Oct. 9th, Greek Isles on the NCL Gem, not only is it my first Solo Cruise, it's also my FIRST cruise ever!! 

Thank you for a great review! I'm sailing on the Gem on 9th Oct (Greek Islands), and I'm really looking forward to it. It will be my first ever cruise AND I'm going solo! 😬

@YVRteacher Thank you so much for that! ☺️

@texascane Thank you so much for those photos! It allowed me to see some of the things that I would be interested in attending! Thank you so much again!

Hi all,

I'm taking my first cruise ever on the 9th Oct coming (2022), it's the 7 day Greek Island cruise on the NCL Gem. I'm being brave and going solo and I was wondering what type of day to day on-board activities I can expect? I can't really find anything on line about them.

Much appreciated for any help.

Maurice

31........ And going to be the LONGEST 31 days of my LIFE!! It's my first cruise and I'm going solo!! SOOO excited!!
