Next week!!!
-
Once we were in front of the Barcelona Cathedral and a woman got a little close to me. DW walked between us and the woman turned around and said to us in English "I am not going to rob you"
-
We're going on the excursion where you take a bus both ways. Departure is 3:40 am.
-
Also, do not put your phone on a restaurant table. There are a number of posts outlining pickpocket scams.
-
Last year we went to Sorrento, Positano, and Pompeii
-
Parking is close and easy. Sometimes they do not let people in for the next cruise until the people from the arriving cruise have disembarked.
-
I didn't find it a big deal. It was mostly at times when we were off the boat. I guess if I was sitting on my balcony and there was a boat instead of a view it would make a difference. I am not sure there is a way to predict when this will be done.
-
How far in advance do we need tickets?
-
Yes, We first walked over to the flower market and then along the promenade by the beach. Here are a couple of photos.

Thanks

This was walking distance from the ship

possible tours in Cork Ireland for Sept. 7
mskaufman replied to dwalters214's topic in British Isles/Western Europe
We have a tour with Paddywagon going to Kinsale and Blarney. We think there is enough in Blarney without kissing the stone. -
I am also thinking Bay of Fundy. Portland walkable. An excursion in Halifax is nice to Peggy's Cove or another town. However, if you want to put on your walking shoes in Halifax, it is doable.
-
We are doing this in about three weeks. Anything in walking distance (like a beach)?
-
We were on the 5 night from Baltimore last year. It was really one and 2 half days in Bermuda. It was really only on the middle day that we had a full day.
-
Compared to other cities locals do not use taxis so there are not a lot of them. Sometimes there are limo drivers waiting at the port looking for riders. Once our Uber driver could not get into the port since he had a fare on the next cruise and they were holding incoming traffic until the parking lot cleared out a little.

Panasonic ZS 70 or 80. My spouse bought one for our cruise last year and is more than happy. In addition to my DLSR I carry a Canon SX 740 because of the 40X Zoom and it fits in my pocket
-
Rome in Limo did a great job for us last summer.
-
There is a nice beach in Cannes (spoiler alert - tops optional in case you have kids with you). Last year we went to Nice and took the mini train around.
-
We are on the cruise the week after you and have a mixture of cruise line excursion, private excursions and DIY. The DIY is where we are going into the city and excursions are where we are going further away,
-
I just read on my roll call how AWFUL BOGO flights can be!
mskaufman replied to ontheweb's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
Last year we took the BOGO and the arrangements were reasonable. I realize that this is not universal. -
I'll second Provence. We had a driver who took us to Avingon, Arles, St Remy, among other stops. You might get more answers on the "France" board
-
Thanks for the good advice. We will probably play it by ear depending on how tired we are.
-
The number of days depends on your interests. A couple of days in Lisbon are nice and also some time in Sintra
-
Barcelona taxis are very efficient and are all over the place.
