Just do go on the tour. Book it soon tickets do sell out. We took the Royal Day out package. We did not take the evening tour. I think we had other plans each night. Or it might have not been offered. The evening tour does sound very nice, maybe not as crowded.

Are you referring to the one at St. Peter's? If so we stayed there in 2011 while on a land your. Very nice hotel, everything you would expect in a Crown Plaza. We were on a tour with Globus so they took us everywhere therefore can not comment on any NCL transfers.

Hi there, we took the12 day Med cruise last year from Venice. Amazing trip. The options for tours was so confusing I developed a spreadsheet and table to sort it all out. I can send to you if you would like. I followed the roll calls from 2012 and picked up names and tours. Email me Miloliihalehonu@yahoo.com

Tahitian French Toast - a real winner.

Oh man! I hope the hairdryers got updated in the last dry dock!

 

 

 

Our CC group is meeting in the Bier Garten for our "unofficial" meet & greet at sailaway! Is the food there free? Obviously, the "bier" isn't! :D

I do not remember any food there, but there is food below by the pool durning lunch hours.

Another vote for magnets. I collect them everywhere I visit. Sometimes people bring me magnets from their travels. I put them on a magnetic board in my home office. Easier to clean. While on our Mediterranean cruise last summer, I put them up on the bar area in the cabin. The room steward and butler brought others by to see the collection.

Yes definitely. The next 2 days are sea days. Plenty of time to rest before Athens. We were in an aft suite, it was beautiful. We even had some rain, but spectacular. Slept in untill about 1000. Next day was a lazy day. Very much welcomed.

Thank you for the pictures.

We rented a flat in London right next to the Lambeth bridge. We walked everywhere and took the tube/ bus when needed. We could see the river out of one of the windows. We have used Homeaway and VRBO and the new wildly popular company is now Airbnb. We use the companies frequently and also rent our own property in Hawaii through these companies. I think this is a much better way to travel. Next to cruise ships, of course. Read the reviews before you book.

I guess the suggestion is NCL wants to add more suites. We are waiting for the South America dates and prices, as are many others, it seems.

Others have reported the Sun is scheduled for a dry dock around this time and NCL is still trying confirm those dates.

Good morning, Has anyone heard anymore re: when dates will open up for 2015-3016?

Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app

Apparently they are still tweaking some dry dock dates for the Sun and the Spirit. They don't want to open the itineraries for booking and then have to cancel some sailings and have to deal with displaced passengers. The good news is that it seems we'll have a freshly refurbished Sun for South America.:D

Thanks for the information. We are waiting as well. We have emailed our PCC expressing our interest. A fresh new Sun is great news.

When you look at SA excursion prices you need to ne sitting down. In 2009 the cost was $1,499 for a 12 hour excursion. But they threw in a parka.

Thanks. I thought I had read that u said that somewhere.

What time of year did u go?

I have another question abut the owners suite vs aft suite. We are aft folks ourselves and agree with many comments about the aft suites sailing on the STAR and the Spirit in them. Which is better for South America? Would the owners suite be too rough/windy?

Anyone know local tour people for Tallinn

Hi your best bet is to post this on the Northern Europe board. Many seasoned cruisers and local expert post there.

Enjoy your cruise

Times Square

Statue of Liberty

Either would be great.

I like the Marriott. Thank you.

Thank you. I think we will book with Grey Line.

Any ideas for an evening cocktail/ glass of wine with a great view?

Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app

Would any of you recommend one of the bus tours in the summer? Thanks for all those tips. We are visiting this summer. We are staying at a flat near the Waldorf. We already secured tickets to the Statue of Liberty- crown access.

My wife and I are looking at taking a "last hurrah" vacation before we start trying to have kids and decided to try and do something we haven't done before. We've been on a ton of cruises but they've been pretty much focused on the Caribbean.

 

The vacation we're starting to key in on is a 12 day cruise-tour on the Norwegian Star from Copenhagen. Its three days in Copenhagen, followed by the 9 day Baltic capitals cruise next July.

 

I was wondering if any of you have done that cruise (or cruisetour), and if you enjoyed it, and any tours that are cant miss in that itinerary. Also any tips would be appreciated, like i said, we've never cruised in Europe before, I have a feeling it will be quite different than a Caribbean cruise!

Ur

Thanks in advance.

We are taking this cruise next August. We will be forming small groups to go on private tours. This work well for on our MED trip last year. Visit the roll call boards and read what others are planning. Your sailing date may already have a roll call formed.

There seems to be a few private vendors in each port and most get great reviews. Certainly some of the ports appear to be very easy for DIY. As other have said, read some of the reviews as well.
