We had an overnight stop in Safaga with Norwegian Jade last November. We booked the day tour to Karnak and Valley of the Kings as a private tour for just hubby and me with Ramaside Tours. Pick up/ drop off was right at the pier. Ramaside offers small to medium groupsize tours as well and they all were picked up at the pier right next to the busses for ship excursions.

We've done it. On the Getaway, while docked in Aruba. Was held by the captain! They did an awesome job.

Oh..ok. It says Africa/Med.. though it's the 21days Capetown to Barcelona. Been on the Getaway twice, one of our favorite ships even though it's larger than the Jade. Enjoy the Eclipse!

Happy to follow again. Been on the Jade B2B with you and looking at your signature, it seems we'll sail on the Dawn together again.

Enjoy your cruise! Looking forward to your posts, especially your comparison if Dawn and Jade. We love the Jade. Been on the Athens - Capetown b2b and will be on the Dawn next year in March from Capetown to Barcelona.

We talked to Dave a couple of days ago and he actually was a teacher back in the Philippines before joined NCL last November. We didn't attend any lectures yet but I'm sure they were both, fun and educational.

This is weird as you only need a yellow fever shot if you have been to or transiting through an affected area...which so far we have not done and also won't do on our way to Madagascar.

We are all checked in for both legs as well. But I haven't started packing yet...

That's the way it is with NCL, too. They have a flyer where you mark what you want and at which time it should be delivered. You leave it at your door the night before. This is different to the new room-service-programm they have called SWIFT which involves a fee all the time.
