Hello. We are looking to visit Pisa when we dock on an upcoming cruise on the NCL Epic. NCL lists an excursion where you will take a trolley to the Leaning Tower after arriving in Pisa. As my parents, who have some mobility issues, will be joining us on this excursion, I am looking to minimize the walking needed to get the attraction. I generally like to book my own excursions and not use the cruise lines, but I cannot find any information on one that offers the trolley. Any suggestions on the best way to get from the dock to the Leaning Tower with minimal walking? Thanks Ed

Hello. We are on the Epic leaving out of Rome in July and are using the NCL 2 for 1 Air program along with a two-day deviation ahead of the cruise. I have received two different answers from NCL as to when we will be leaving the NYC area. One rep said the day of your flight counts as a day, even though it is an overnight flight, so leaving Sunday night gets us to Italy on Monday and our cruise leaves on Tuesday. Sunday+Monday=Two Days, even though it is really one day. Another rep said no, you would leave on Saturday night, arriving Sunday, so a full day in Rome on Monday. The latter makes more sense as if we did not do a deviation, we would be leaving on Monday night for the Tuesday departure. Can anyone share their experience going to Rome from the NYC (or any East Coast city) and doing a two-day deviation with NCL air? Thanks Ed
