Has the date of the ta to Europe been announced?

We recently used Park and Go for parking. They have a short shuttle to the ship. We were VERY favorable impressed. We did have to leave the key as they were doing valet parking. It turned out to be a good thing. I left my ipod in the car and once I discovered it, I was on the ship and not sure to have time to go get it. I called Park and Go, told them exactly where it was. They got it and sent it to the ship to me on the next shuttle. I was a happy camper.

Thanks Mike. I think we will stay with that one. We will have it for 2 weeks on the fall TA.

Price is great for a balcony cabin.

I picked 9137 which when I drag over deck 8 looks like it is over an open balcony. Why will this be a bad choice?

Thanks for your help. You have a wealth of information in your signature. This will be our first NCL cruise and I did not even know about hull or covered vs uncovered cabins. Aren't the life boats actually below deck 8? If so, I guess you can still see them when looking directly down from deck 9.

I am trying to select a deck 9 balcony cabin on Epic. Parts of the ship appear to stick out farther than other parts for a BB cabin. Is there any advantage to location other than stairs?

There is a second funicular in Bergen, a little farther away and much higher and much less crowded. It was spectacular. Got the info from Rick Steves. We took a public tour bus from the center of town. Bus ride was nice but not long. We took a lunch and had a picnic at the top on a gorgeous day.

Thanks for posting. Once again I really enjoyed your enthusiasm. We will be staying 4 nights in a Holiday Inn Express near mid-level escalators that looks like a great location. I have done a lot of reading but you gave me a couple of new tidbits. We are really looking forward to visiting Hong Kong and Beijing. The Airport Express and Octopus card look very convenient. I am also thinking about getting the smart card in Beijing as we do plan to use the subway.

I am enjoying your review and looking forward to your time in Hong Kong. We have a few days scheduled for Beijing and then Hong kong In oct.

Thanks Mightyquinn for the info. I think we will just take the Princess tour to Beomosa to keep it simple. Their price is not bad.

MightyQuinn- did you make it to the Beomeosa temple using the hoho bus?

Danish Viking:

 

Totally agree with the comments made by Dolfans. Could not have said it better. Really appreciate all your efforts in helping all of us to enjoy our visit to Copenhagen a whole lot more than we would without your input.

A big me too to you Danish Viking. I just booked an RCL cruise for next April that ends in your city. I bookmarked this thread to reread later. Already have decided to stay 2 or 3 nights. Looks like so much to see. Your answere are terrific.

I also want to thank you for all this wonderful review and amazing pictures. We are looking forward to our b2b in the fall.

Keltic--Really appreciate your post. Taking the train to Santiago looks like a good adventure for the day. thank you

We visited Ostia back in the late 70s while traveling around in Europe. It was one of our favorite days and I believe they have uncovered a good bit more. We will return to Rome for 2 days this year and may decide it is worth a revisit. Probably if we go, we will do the train and metro.
