Ok, you sold me! I will do the 2 day pass on the trolley! :cool:

I love the http://www.vancouvertrolley.com/ Trolley!!! As a local I experienced it when I had a visitor here from Australia and rode it for a full day with her. So many great stops and funner than riding in the big buses! Would recommend for sure.

I used Rome In Limo several times.. and on all three Italy stops last October..the Amalfi Coast is wonderful. We used them in Rome also..and the small van was able to get in places the large bus could not.

Thank you for your review. I fully expect to be exhausted by the time we finish our August Med cruise on Epic! We are flying into Barcelona a day early, and will to the HOHO bus there. We are then doing a full-day private tour with Rome In Limo of the Amalfi coast and Pompeii in Naples, then full day Ultimate Rome tour thru NCL, and then a full day private tour of Pisa/Florence, then a 1/2 day Little train tour and Nice thru NCL. Have nothing for Palma - hoping to walk a bit and sit on Palma Nova beach, or just hang on the ship and relax. Traveling with my 26/29 year olds, and we love walking, so we should be okay, except for the expected heat and crowds of summer.

How rainy will it be? First week of August..

Palma de Mallorca-the bus, then train ride was relaxing. Cannes-that would be my half day too -you get off the ship...walk around the waterfront, see a lot.

Well I don't think a Fireworks festival is going to bring so many in the city, that the trolley would be affected.The only reason I might go with another HOHO is because I like being on the top open air deck for pictures. Are these abudnant in the city too?

Thank You!!!!

You Google "Vancouver cruise ship schedule" and you end up here:

How do I find out if there are other ships besides the Sun sailing out?

I have never sailed Celebrity, but am going to book a cruise next June on the Eclipse. Very strange-the pirces on Celebrity's website are WAY higher than sites like *************. Not even close..Anybody know a good site to get a good deal?

Why are the daily gratuities more for the suite if there are no extra perks?

I will be there July 28 to 31st, boarding my cruise the 31st. Right now, I am thinking of a two day pass the 29,30.

You should say when you are going? Vancouver is notorious for its

Summer Festivals , packed streets and so on. Probably impacts on the busses http://www.vancouversun.com/entertainment/listings/index.html

Thanks yes I am on deck 11! Now I'm really excited !

I just won my bid upgrade from balcony to mini suite. Aside from a bigger cabin, any other perks?

How are the Hop on Hop off busses? I am stayng at the Marriott residence Inn Downtown. ANy suggestions for a company ?

I put in an offer for mini suite for my upcoming Alaskan cruise and they accepted it today..mid range---to the right a bit

How long was the flight part? And what company did you use?

We just did this tour last week, and yes, all you can eat crab, and it was amazing! We highly recommend it, the best crab we've ever had. The crab just kept coming, and was more than we could eat. The small restaurant setting was rustic and beautiful with views of the water from our table. Our tour went to George's Inlet, with bus service to the location and flight back to Ketchikan docks. The flight is shorter than doing the Misty Fjords flight alone, but still gives a great overview of the area. We recommend going midday or afternoon, if you don't want crab for breakfast [emoji6]

I love your review so far..funny and from a different perspective!

40 Until Alaska!

Is there a piano bar? Or other solo/duo musicians on board? Or late night comedy? (Alaska)

Does anyone know what excursions will be available? Can we book before?

SInce I am doing the four day Alyeskan Land Tour with NCL that has lots of train time, I don't think I will be missing that much by not taking this one.

1. How long are you actually in the air? (the $200-240 price range) Do they all go to the same area?

2.Has anyone done the one that includes the crab fest? All you can eat crab? Does that lessen your time up in the air?

Yes it was a beautiul ship.but port intense and exhausting. I literally just fell in my bed after eating every night..wished there was another sea day or two to enjoy what the ship has to offer!

We all wished it was a day or two longer so you could rest in between tours. I would not hesitate to book this cruise again and look forward to cruising NCL in Europe in the future.

I loved the studio on the Epic..they had plenty of gatherings for the solo traveler, and those just wanting a single room without the $$$$ charges!

We will be there 11am to 9 pm Aug3. I am looking at the Juneau Tours combo Whale Watching/Mendenhall glacier tour. The only time they have avaialble is 12pm...Will I be able to make this from the ship (they have a meeting point)
