We are looking for a hotel in Rome City Center and were going to book Hotel Smeraldo, but when I went to book it this morning they are sold out for our October 12 - 14 dates. I have been looking at threads until my head is spinning. Can someone recommend another option?

Thanks,

Do a tour with Lefty !!!!!

 

Our first visit to Crete we did a tour with him = awesome day. One of our favorite tours ever …… and that is saying a lot.

 

Our second visit he was already booked but sent an associate and we had another spectacular day ….. we repeated a few things and saw some new stuff. We had my FIL with us and wanted him to see a few things we had already seen but wanted to see again.

 

We saw Chania (hawn-ee-ah) the port, market and a bit of the city. Then to a large park above the city for some awesome views (cant recall the name of it) then out into the countryside. Our favorite part ! We headed to Aptera (Minoan ruins) which are very near some Roman ruins (large baths etc) and also near Venetian fort up on a hill…… we then went to a small village and had lunch at a tiny taverna (we sat outside under a large tree) and had a SPECTACULAR meal. Try the raki !!!!

 

Also did a winery tour and a private olive press tour on our FIRST visit with the above.

 

On our second visit we had less time in port so visited a monastery nearby which was really interesting and beautiful ! No winery or olive factory.

 

We loved loved loved Crete….. but get out of town to really enjoy this beautiful island and its people :D

Can you please post Lefty's information. We just book a cruise for October 2015 and I would like to contact him.

Thanks,

Thanks so much for the information. We booked a bundled package that NCL is currently offering that include Dinner for 2 at 3 Specialty Restaurants so I don't think the UDP will work.

Thanks,

We just booked Pride of America!!! Have not cruised on NCL for 26 years (been cruising on other lines) and are wondering how the dining works. I understand that there is not set time, you just show up. But how do the Specialty Restaurants work? Do you make a reservation? If so, can you make those on line before you board? Any additional information about NCL would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Teresa
