For those who don´t have any problems with their knees and need some exercise you can walk down from Anacapri to Marina Grande using the Phoenician staircase (Scala Fenicia) which has been finally renovated a couple of years ago. You can see a couple of my photos here. When it´s not too hot I love to go up to the Villa Iovis or if you don´t want to climb up there you can take a turn and follow the signs to Arco Naturale. It´s a very nice walk up way up but along the Southern coast of Capri passing by the Faraglioni rocks and also the Villa Malaparte plus the Grotto di Matermania. steamboats

Not in general... and if so prices range from 50 cents to 1 Euro. In larger restaurants there can be a lady sitting there who is taking care of cleaning the restrooms. She does expect a small tip which can be 50 cents to 1 Euro. In some cases you have actually to pay upfront. So it´s always a good idea to have some coins with you (especially for the ladies as for some reason we always have to pay while the men don´t have). steamboats

@Happycrafter123 you more than fine with 5 Euro per person with a small group. The 1 or 2 Euro would be for a bus driver of a regular bus (50 or so seats). For a private driver I'd give 10 or 20 Euro for the whole group. steamboats

The drivers and guides will prefer Euro as they are living there and have to pay a high fee for converting Dollar to Euro. The staff onboard will appreciate Dollar. But I´m definitely with you that by European standards the tipping amounts for the tours are way to high. 1 or 2 Euro for the driver (most don´t tip the driver separately) and maybe 5 Euro for the guide (per person). steamboats

Exactly, the On Your Own tour for Capri is just an overpriced ferry ride back and forth with a guide keeping you all together. They use the same ferry as everyone else. Actually I have seen an X group on the ferry over to Capri once. So they don´t have their own boats. steamboats

You don't need to worry about the return trip with the ferry. Just buy the return ticket at Marina Grande in Capri for a ferry back to Naples (there are two companies and they have different times). There are plenty of boats offering trips around the island. So no need to book with a tour company. All boats pass by the Blue Grotto where you can optionally (additional fee) go inside (you need to change boats). I usually use the public bus up to Anacapri. The ticket booth and bus terminal is right at the Marina Grande. I buy all the tickets I need for the day. Like one up to Anacapri, one for Anacapri to Capri town, one for the funicolar down to Marina Grande. steamboats

Just walk over to the ferry terminal and take the ferry on your own. The ship tours do use the same ferries. steamboats

Nick Weir dropped a couple of hints on Twitter. steamboats

Nick Weir gave another hint on Twitter for The Wizzard of Oz. steamboats

Just can simply take the ferry from Naples to Capri. At Capri Port (Marina Grande) there are lots of boats waiting for boat trips around the island. The (highly overrated) Blue Grotto has to be paid extra and you have to change to a smaller row boat. It´s optional on the boat trips around the island. steamboats

@Steff79 basically for you as the interview is in German - but others can try an automatic translation service - it´s about the Norwegian Prima and how they observe the critics. steamboats

@cruisemom42 it´s Roman theatre and yes, the tour ended up there. The plants are basil, strawberries and tomatoes which are grown there. All are very popular in restaurants in the area. There are also experiments with orchids, bromelia and other flowers. steamboats

We once did the Napoli Sotterranea. You can see some impressions here. steamboats

I just double checked the fine print of the MSC website (German version). It acutally says you have to reapply for a membership. For a Classic member you need at least 1 point and only as a Classic Member you get the 5%. steamboats

Azipods are electric too but somewhere the electricity has to come from ;-). steamboats

That would be a huge battery pack... 🤣 steamboats

@CruisingDaff we only had 3 people, me, my DH and another woman. So we were extremely lucky and had a very personal tour. We once did a private food tour in Ibiza town and ended up with a chef and just us. I love to experience local food. steamboats

I think you don´t have to reapply but you points are going down to 0 and you start with the lowest level again. steamboats

As the OP was asking for electrical outlets near the bed I didn´t mention those on the vanity desk. But you´ll find photos in my cabin review ;-). steamboats

Yes, on Beyond there is one electrical outlet on the "non window" side of the bed plus two USB ports - see here. I missed to take a photo of the USB outlets in the foot of the lamps on the night stand. steamboats

Those who are playing Fortnite can enjoy The Hideaway and Thrill Island as virtual world. DH gave it a try, so here´s what´s to see (or some screen shots here). steamboats

We once booked with Food Tours of Naples (they have changed the tour a bit skipping the lunch in a restaurant - here´s my review). The tour us now called "Naples Street Food Tour". The starting point is still Piazza Bellini - an easy walk from port. The tour was a lot of fun for us and we discovered food we wouldn´t have tried. And we know Naples pretty well. steamboats

@Steff79 Noise Boys are still on but only for this or the next week. Then the cast is leaving. That´s what I read on another thread. There won´t be a new cast coming. The second Donna Summer cast just came on. steamboats

No, the ship has its own sattelite network and your phone will connect to that. Land based phone/internet service does only work as long as you are close to land (usually within 3 miles). steamboats

For breakfast 😉 ? steamboats
