Thank you~ I went to DIVI.

Hi All, I am planning some group activities for about 20 on a Celebrity Silhouette cruise. What are some good ideas for events for the group while on board?

Hi All, I plan on doing a snorkel in the morning. Is there a beach near by or something to do between 1-3?

Hi All, I have a 3pm excursion in Aruba, but we dock at 1. Any suggestions on what to do before hand?

thank you all!

Going on a cruise that includes Toulon. Thoughts? Suggestions? I need something to do!

Yep. Its going to be completely worked over. They are going to give it the breakaway class makeover like they did to the dawn. Kinda sad really.

We were on the Spirit in April and they were talking about a major overhaul removing all of the current Chinese influenced decor. Recent posts suggest a shot dry dock,,,, which would imply that her days in the NCL fleet may be getting short.

Well folks, I am leaving out on the Spirit in a week. 10 years ago this year I sailed on her for the first time! Will be interesting to see how I remember it all. I like that ship! Very interesting decor and feel.

Does Royal Caribbean have paddle boards for rent?

Thank you~ I like the ideas. I will look into it!

Hey All, never been to GT before. I would like to snorkel. DO you think I can do this on my own/ off the beach and see anything of interest?

Not really for late night but if you can be at the lighthouse for the sunset it if fabulous!

Ill try it!

On a carnival cruise and will be in Aruba until 11pm. I have a 2pm windsurfing lesson. Any suggestions for late night?

Hi All,

Going on The Spirit grand med cruise in November. Can anyone tell me if they will have the NFL games on? Would like to watch some NFL while on board.

Also, the US election will be taking place, surely they will have the news on that?

Sounds like something I would enjoy. I am going to look into this. Any tips on where to start? Where to grab a bike? or a map?

If you don't decide to explore Kotor ( there are lots of lovely things here) 12km and flat to Perast is easily doable. Let's say it takes you 1 hour there and back (that's a very leisurely pace) - that gives you 2 hours in Perast.

You're awesome! Thank you!

The best way to arrive in the old part of town is by taxi. However you should check with your cruise line to see if they are offering a shuttle bus. No need to hurry since you are arriving after 01 November when our winter hibernation has begun. Many sites have very limited hours, from 0900 until 1600 daily. Since there are very few cruise ships arriving and Europeans are not here, the town will not be busy at all. Do keep in mind that normally November is our wettest month, but then there is nothing normal about weather these days. However be prepared for rain, sun or wind.

Hi All, on the Conquest in December. DO they have live poker? Or is it a poker machine?

Hi All, I am on a cruise in November, how should I get into town from the ship (pile gate) is where my tour starts.

Do you think there will be time to bike there after I hike the wall?

Personally to escape the the busyness and over-priced and very average food that's generally increasingly on offer in Kotor (and I'll stand by that), I'd hire a bike and cycle to the famous naval city of Perast, incredibly influential in terms of European naval history. Very charming town. UNESCO. Impressive naval museum. 12km. Flat. Lovely ride. And you're more likely to get a quality lunch here.

Hi All, are sky suites allowed entry into Michaels?

Hi! Yes, the hike I am doing is a tour. fter I do have a lot of free time, I would love to hear the must sees!

I have one booked for Dubrovnik and I did it wth Dubrovnik tours. Can't wait!!!!

I am going to walk to the city walls in the Morning, however, around 12pm I will be done. that gives me about 4 hours to do something on my own. Thoughts?

Hi Wendy, yeah, its daunting! I am just going to take 4.5 hous and do the Sistine chapel on my own before the cruise. Then, I will take a tour with a 3rd party company, which has a lot of what I feel I need to see and it suits my budget. Wish I had 4 days. Guess next time! :)

Great decision, hope this all works out for you.

 

I commiserate with you trying to fit all this in. We'll be there for 4.5 days and I'm not sure how I'm going to do it. I am doing it in a spreadsheet, reading a tour guide and the web, and at times going quietly nuts.

 

It did sound to me like the NCL tour must be a semi-private one, which accounts for the price. But now that you can tick off some of those boxes on your pre-cruise day, perhaps you can find a private or small group tour for the other day that does the rest.

 

(And cruisemom, thanks for those links. More fodder for my addled brain.)

After much thought and reading these posts, I have decided to add a day to Rome. I will be Visiting the Sistine chapel and the likes prior to reaching my cruise. I will do it on my own! That will really save me a lot of headache the day of the cruise, I think.
