And yeah, everything this far has been credit card/Apple Pay, just like last year in Western Europe. Super easy. I always pay in Euros, the exchange rate has been so close lately it’s just easier that way. For instance, that meal was 28 euros and change - we immediately got a bank notification that the card was charged $30. It’s incredibly close right now. Tips are very different here imho. They aren’t generally expected at all, so anything you give is usually much appreciated Also, depending on the country you're in, 10% is considered a 'good' tip for good service 🙂 Edit: I just saw @purpleally posted the same Edited June 15 by RobertL88 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destaw71835 Posted June 15 #829 Share Posted June 15 Thanks for taking us along to Rijeka with you. It looks like it is very easy to navigate and just explore without an organized tour. I will definitely have to consider this when planning my European cruise. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare TxTeach79 Posted June 15 Author #844 Share Posted June 15 Okay, wifi has been sluggish and I’ve fallen a bit behind - BUT!

Rare kjquilts Posted June 15 #845 Share Posted June 15 Koper Slovenia is another excellent port to just get off the ship and wander. Enjoy your day there. We especially loved the Lord Byron Pub and spent a couple happy hours there. 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we went to Cagney's we went to the bar for a pre dinner drink and I saw numerous ladies drinking a pretty blue drink, looked like a blue lemon drop lol. Asked one lady what was it called and she said a blue lady. It was delicious! Can't wait to have it again. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You always need to compare an apple to an apple comparing Carnival and NCL. The drink package on NCL costs 21.80 per day, but more than that is already baked into the fare. If you are set on the Italian style ships, you only have two to choose from the Venezia out of NYC or Port Canaveral or the Firenze out of Long Beach. If you want the largest that Carnival offers (Excel Class), it's the Mardi Gras out of PC, the Celebration out of MIA or the Jubilee out of Galveston. The three Excel Class ships are the closest to what NCL offers on their newer ships. I've sailed on the Prima 3 times, the Escape 3 times, the Encore and the Bliss. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
