LE HAVRE (PARIS), FRANCE - Picturesque Honfleur
TILBURY (LONDON, ENGLAND) On My OWN TOUR Friends suggested Sky Garden and Abbey Road also suggested I get a ticket for "On and Off Bus" tours.

I am also traveling solo on a trans Atlantic cruise leaving April 28 - May 11 from NYC to Cork, Dublin, Paris, London,
and Brussels - disembarking in Amsterdam on the Pearl. I am also a little concerned about this as I will also be
flying from Amsterdam for 6 days in Dublin at a Bed and Breakfast. I am 66, female and a retired teacher who has
never been in Europe. Can you explain to me what you mean by "join the roll call"...
Thanks

Great point! I am traveling alone. I have already bought one bottle of red wine and one bottle of white wine and I’m a Bronze member so there will be champagne delivered to my suite on the first day of my cruise. I don’t drink enough to purchase the package. Next time I’ll try to get the Free at Sea but I’m not concerned!

Thanks. I booked a train that is scheduled to arrive at 10:45 and then I will have to wait to get
one checked bag. It's a Sunday. I am reading above. So it appears I leave Penn Station at 31st or
33rd Street to find a taxi or an Uber?

I will be leaving from Wilmington AMTRAK to Penn Station on April 23 (2019). I will need a taxi to the Norwegian Cruise Terminal and
need to board around 1 pm. Is this information still valid?
Yellow cabs? What is the approximate cost for the drive now?
I will be calling to make my AMTRAK reservation soon.

You are correct Keith, and thanks
I stand corrected. From NCL:
Guests may bring bottles of wine and champagne on board. When bottles are brought on board and served or consumed in any restaurant, public room area or in their stateroom, a corkage fee will be charged according to bottle sizes noted below.
750 ml Bottle: $15.00 USD
1,500 ml Magnum: $30.00 USD
Wine or champagne sent directly to the ship by travel agents, friends, family, etc. or from another retail source, are subject to the same fees. Box wines are not allowed on board.

It certainly is.
As many bottles as you like. $15 corkage per 750ml bottle payable on embarkation.

Not sure if you know this. But you can bring your own bottles of wine on board, you just have to pay a fee of $15 each bottle.
I’m pretty sure that is not allowed on Norwegian

Its not actually free. They boost the price up so you end up paying for it anyway. Check it out, get a price with the Bev package and one without to see the difference. Add in the gratuities and you have to drink quite a bit every day to break even.
I have already purchased the gratuities package. I have been on 2 other cruises with a relative. I have decided I will purchase a few bottles of wine at the first and second dinner and use them at dinners. I don't drink enough to make this feasible.

Has anyone who is the process of booking a Norwegian Cruise in the near future
noticed that the Premium Beverage Package (formerly known as Ultimate Beverage Package)
has increased in price to $99 per day. I already have a nice suite so will not be
upgrading and I do not drink enough to pay this much. I have traveled with my cousin
in the past and she paid the Beverage Package but it was not this expensive.
I believe my cruise consultant told me that NCL has changed their policy.

Do you have information about the Ireland tour?

That Ireland tour that I'm going on isn't part of the cruise. It is something separate. But you mentioned getting off the ship and spending a few days in Ireland. I have 3 days in Ireland on my own until the land tour meets in Dublin. Just thought you might be there the same time I am.

Is this on NCL Pearl ... April 28th - May 11th? It sounds exactly like the cruise me and my friend are on.
I too am a little uneasy about the weather. But not enough to NOT go. It is too exciting and too much of an adventure. Come on ... JOIN US!!!
-
Yes I am but I don’t know about that tour.
-
Yes, it is. I am 67 married and my husband is agreeable but a bit concerned. After getting to Brussels I am considering flying back to Ireland for a few days and then to London. I would fly back to NYC from London.
A cruise consultant from Norwegian has hooked me up with a great site. www.skyscanner.com for finding flights, hotels, etc.
I have put a hold on the trip and emailed the consultant. I have about $1000+ ready to put down on it already. I live in southern Delaware and would take a train from Wilmington to Manhattan AMTRAK station which I saw was very close to the NCL Harbor.

I am considering a trans Atlantic cruise to Ireland and Belgium in late April and May. I am wondering if someone could advise me about the weather on the ocean and the ports.
The Ports include Dublin, Ireland, Havre Paris, France, and London, and and Brussesls. It departs from New York City.

NYC Penn station to cruise port. Recent info?

On my last cruise I traveled solo. I found that Norwegian has a car service Groundlink. Their phone number is
800-327-7030.. Here is the link to the information on the NCL site. The car driver texted me when was close
and got me to the terminal in good time. If you scroll down it cost $35 from Penn Station to the terminal. Just
on suggestion.
