  1. We too enjoyed Captain Marvin’s tour. We seemed to arrive before the big groups did which was nice. I don’t know if that’s always the norm.
  2. Look for cruise lines that offer covered pool areas for those less than perfect days. Also look for ships with good outdoor viewing areas.
  3. I thought the food wasn’t good, my opinion. You definitely had to get in line before they opened or would probably not get in until late.
  4. Santorini was a mess, so take a ships tour which tenders you to other port where buses are waiting. Only ships tour use other port, you will take cable car back down but the wait will be shorter. Alternative is from where the tender everyone else where cable car is you can take a boat to Oia wither bus back ti Fira included for 30 euros per person. NCL tender process was very slow, ships tours had priority. They were still calling tender numbers 4 hours after anchoring.
  5. We were just there and you just purchase tickets at the dock when you arrive. I had emailed the company and they indicated no need to make reservation. Once in Opa even with the shuttle there still is a steep climb to the bus. Also definitely do the boat or a ships tour that drops you at other pier where buses are waiting. At least 2 hour wait for cable cars. We were on NCL Getwawy and they were still calling tender numbers 4 hours after anchoring. It was a mess!
  6. Just got off Getaway and never had a problem with any of complimentary dining venues except Shanghai Noodle Bar which was terrible in my opinion.
  7. when I was there there was no one smoking I couldn’t say it was banned there. if. It’s a small area I would think it should be banned. Even with the enclosed area on pool deck the smell was awful so always walked on other side.
  8. Just got off Getaway and they had enclosed smoking on pool deck you could still smell the terrible order. Thank goodness no smoking in H2O area it’s much too small of an area.
  9. I thought I was packed until in the middle of the night I realized the lightweight cotton sundresses I was going to wear while in port won’t work with money belt. Have to rethink wardrobe. I will have 1 checked bag a good sized carry on.
  10. We are on this cruise too. Looking forward to following your adventure.
  11. Upcoming cruise on Getaway, first time cruising NCL. Not sure what Illusionarium was?
  12. So did BBQ replace something else?
  13. Would it be possible to do Pisa and Florence in one day from Livorno? We are in port from 7AM-7PM.
  14. I realize NCL has anytime dining in their main dining rooms but can you still make reservations?
  15. Aside from the snarky reply, it was just a question. Obviously it would be for the ports on a particular cruise. It looks like they only list port agents, so I looked up the ones I might need.
  16. Just looking at Welcome Pickups, you can cancel up to 48 hours ahead but they only refund 80% or 100% credit. So we are looking for another option.
  17. I printed my luggage tags for upcoming cruise, should there be a bar code on them?
  18. Does NCL list phone numbers of US embassies for each port in daily paper?
