Hello, 

I am booked on an Alaskan cruise with NCL.  Our ports include Sitka, Juneau, Icy Strait Point, Ketchikan and Victoria BC. I am looking for excursions that are not necessarily sponsored by NCL.  Can anyone point me in the direction of websites or tour companies that have excursions in these ports? Thank you so much!!

Did you tender on any ports? I will be on 8/25 Grand Med.

I was on the 6/24 sailing and tendered in Mykonos. We had never tendered before so we didn't know to get a number early. We ended up waiting about an hour and s half for a boat.

Did NCL offer a transport from the Venice pier to the airport? If so, do you recall how much?

Also which day was the laundry special? We sail next Monday so these are my few remaining questions. Thanks

I'm sure NCL does offer transportation to the airport. We stayed in Venice an extra night and arranged a land taxi through our hotel. It was 55 Euros from the bus station area to the airport. Water taxis are about double that.

The laundry day was the day we were in Naples. You had to have it ready to go by noon that day. You will get the bag the night before with your daily.

Have fun! It's a great trip!!

Hi ljgirl,

Couple of quick questions if i may.. What time does the ship dock at civitavecchia? just trying to plan times of trains to Rome..

And also when the ship docks at Athens where abouts does it dock? close to the city or a way out ?

Thanks

We were in port in Rome from 8 am- 7 pm. We took a train into Rome on our own and it was super easy. In Athens, the port is about a 30-40 minute drive to the Acropolis area.

We did fly out of Marco Polo. It is under construction but that didn't seem to be too much of a hassle. We flew Air Canada and their check in counter is downstairs so we had a ways to walk to get there. Overall I thought it was a pretty easy airport to navigate if you read the signs. It is spread out depending on what airline you are flying so there can be some walking involved. My one piece of advice would be to get any shopping and eating done before you go through passport control. Once through passport control there is one cafe counter restaurant and one duty free shop. Have fun!!!

Do you happen to know what is happening to her post April 2017?

No cruises showing.

She is being totally refurbished.

Hello! We are just off the 12 day Grand Mediterranean cruise from Barcelona to Venice. We cruised June 24- July 6. Had the time of our lives. We are a family of 4, kids ages 14 and 17. Does anybody have any questions?

Which side of the ship is more scenic?

Who did you book your excursion from Toulon with?

Which side of the ship were you on? I'm wondering if one side is more scenic than the other?

Hello! We are sailing on the June 24th sailing of the NCL Spirit 12 day Grand Mediterranean itinerary. I read on another thread of tour companies that Rome in Limo recommended in other ports, for example, France and Greece. I cannot for the life of me find the thread now! Does anyone know which companies RIL recommends?

Thanks!

What excursions did you do?

Sorry I forgot to mention that important piece!!! We are on the June 24 th sailing from Barcelona to Venice. Thanks!!

Which side is more scenic when coming into ports?

Thanks so much for the great review. We are sailing on Spirit from Barcelona to Venice in June 2016. Some of the ports are different due to the unrest in Turkey. We will have our kids with us, ages 14 and 17. Were there many kids on board? Thanks!

Where can I go to get detailed information on each port? I'm sailing this cruise in June. May be too general of a question but I am feeling overwhelmed! Thanks!

Hello,

Does anyone know what the cost is to transfer to the Montblanc hotel from the airport for 4 people?

Also, the cost to transfer from the Montblanc hotel to the port?

I'm trying to decide whether I should book through NCL or not. The cost through them would be $550 for one night's stay and transfers for the 4 of us.

Thanks!

Hi All!

I hope this is the right place to post this. If not, please advise where the right place would be.

My family (My husband, myself and 2 kids, ages 14 and 17) are looking to go on a Mediterranean cruise this summer. The 2 itineraries that fit our travel dates are on these 2 ships. Does anyone have an opinion on which would be better? We have only cruised once and it was on the NCL Getaway.

Thanks!
