Our ship arrives in Bodrum. How long is the drive to Ephesus? We want to do a private tour but are worried about getting back in time.

For those who have done the tour in Ephesus, how is the terrain? Is there a lot of walking on the tour and are there places to sit? Thanks

I flew on TAP for the first time last year in economy from Barcelona. It was fine but as mentioned above, the seats were a bit uncomfortable after a while. I would fly them again.

I was in a studio on a transatlantic. I did not see "young" people. At 50+, I felt like I was one of the youngest people in the studios. I was often in the lounge reading and there were many times when I was there by myself. I did not get up or leave when men came in -- even the quirky looking ones. Enjoy yourself. I did.

I have not been on Celebrity in about 2 years. Please tell me that they still serve table side muesli in Blu!!!

Does anyone know the taxi rate from Baltimore Penn to the port? Also, I think I read that there is a max of 4 people in a cab. Anyone familiar with the bigger cabs? We have 9 people in our group. TIA.

We've been there twice with day passes and would go again. We arrive early to get the buffet breakfast and leave after enjoying the buffet lunch. The food is really good. We usually hang out by the pool but the beach is at the bottom of some steps and there's a shower to get the sand off.

I always use cash deposit on my cruises. Like you, everything that I want that can be prepaid is prepaid so I put a deposit of $200-300 and end up getting most of it back at the end. Cash is still king. 😀

... do you guys know that 99% of the visitors use the city's excellent network of inexpensive public transportation for transfers to/from the port and the airport? Just saying. If anyone is interested do ask.

How would I get from port to Barcelona Fira hotel? I know there is a metro stop outside the hotel but I don't remember the line to get there. I also did not know that there was a metro at the port. Thanks

I have booked vegaluna for next week it's 15 euro per sunbed but you also have to eat lunch there not sure what it includes but sunbed parasol wifi and kids swings

So how was it?

Thanks

If anyone used a private beach, which one did you use, what was the cost and what were the included amenities, if any? Thanks.

We usually go to Rui. We get there early enough to have breakfast and leave after lunch. The food is included with the day pass as well as the beverages. The food is really good and is a nice break from the ship food. We generally hang out by the pool and there are umbrellas for shade.

We were at the Marriott last week. It was not crowded at all. Be aware that food is expensive. We paid $57 for lunch for three people and that included one person who just got fries and a drink. Also, they do not accept cash so make sure you have a debit or credit card.

Did you happen to notice if they sell plus size woman's fleece coats, ie size 18 and above? Thanks

Is that a swim shirt that you are wearing in post 18? If so, where did you get it? Thanks

Thanks for the replies. I am disappointed as I was looking forward to it. The first time I had it was on NCL and had it every morning. Had every morning on Celebrity too. I'll just have to find another "must have every morning" favorite.:D

Lol. I don't know about the old people part. I describe it as cold oatmeal with mix-ins. I only have it on cruise ships. Celebrity prepares it table side! So good!

Can I get muesli on Splendor and if so, where? Thanks.

OP the shirts are great. Can you share how to make them?:)

We took our first NCL cruise last June and since we were celebrating my milestone birthday, I decided that we should stay in a suite. It was great. We often had the courtyard to ourselves so it was very relaxing. Breakfast in Cagneys was good--could not get enough of the muesli. Our next cruise will be in 2015 but I don't want to sail on NCL if I'm not in a suite. :)
