  1. My mother and I are looking at a November cruise on the POA.

     

    We took the 10 day Panama cruise in March, and on 2 of the days off the ship, I found 2 seperate local tour groups which met our needs, and were more reasonable in price.

     

    Both local groups were recommended on this site. I am once again reviewing Shore Excursioneers for Hawaii, as they gave us a great tour in Costa Rica.

     

    But wondering if anyone has other recommendations? My mom so enjoyed the ones I discovered for the Panama Cruise, so would to be able to find some good ones again for the islands of Hawaii.

     

    thanks!

  2. Taking the pearl to the Panama Canal next month, and wondering if anyone can tell me what current entertainment options are on the ship. My mom and I really enjoyed what was provided on the Jewel last June to Alaska. We know about the bowling alley and rock wall, I'm looking more for what is provided in the theatre on a nightly basis, and the acts featured in the lounges.

     

    thanks!

  3. Arriving back in Miami on the NCL Pearl 03/24/16, a Thursday. first walk off the boats should be at 8am, looking to book a flight out of Miami at 11:45 departure.

     

    given the unknown, might this be doable?

  4. Am booking a return flight from Miami or FT.Lauderdale on a Thursday in March 2016, after a cruise to the Panama Canal.

     

    Can anyone give me a general idea how long it might take to get through customs? Am travelling with my mom, and I know she will be a nervous wreck if I book a return flight that might be a close call.

     

    Thanks!

  5. My mother and I are flying into Ft. Lauderdale in March, for a Panama Canal cruise on NCL, leaving from the Miami Port,

     

    trying to get shuttle service from a hotel in Ft. Lauderdale, down to the Miami port.

     

    Also looking for recommendations for hotels that may have shuttle service from airport to hotel, and possibly a shuttle down to Miami.

     

    Only staying there the night before we leave on the cruise, and not arriving until 9pm, so don't need anything stylish for the 14 hours we will be there.

     

    thank You!

  6. Booked on the Norwegian pearl for a 10 day Panama Canal cruise in March 2016,

     

    Having never travelled to this part of the world before, have no idea what to use for currency at the ports. Do local shops take American credit cards? Will I need to exchange American dollars for currency of each country?

     

    Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

  7. Has anyone taken the Pearl on the Panama Cruise?

     

    My mom and I went to Alaska on the Jewel last month, and just loved cruising.

    My mom has always wanted to see the Panama Canal, and I see that the Pearl makes this trip.

     

    Wondering if this trip is a good one?

  8. We are leaving on the Jewel this Saturday for Alaska, can you give us some idea of the cost of drinks at the bars? We are not big drinkers, but would like to enjoy one every day.

  9. Going to Alaska next month, and trying to avoid packing items I think I need, but will ?never end up using.

    can someone tell me if on the Jewel, the cabins come with blow dryers?

     

    This is my first cruise, and trying to determine what small items I should bring along (not counting clothing)

     

    I've heard one should bring along a night light, since the cabins without windows are extremely dark. Extension cord? First Aid Kit?

     

    Thanks for all and any suggestions!

  10. My mother and I are going on our first cruise ever next month to Alaska. We are booking our own excursions off the sip, but need to know, if the schedule shows that we are in a city from 7am to 3pm, when would we need to get back on the ship? Trying to maximize our time as we visit the different cities.

    Thanks for the help!
