Thank you...great idea, but I had already cancelled. And I did find where it has expired, so hopefully I can snag it the next time it's offered! Take care, everyone!

Hi,

I had to cancel the cruise that I had used this offer on, but I'm going to book another. Does anyone know what the expiration date is for the offer? I can't find it since I've already used it (but I will lose the credit once my cancellation goes through). Thanks!

I feel everyone's pain....looks like I'm missing Platinum by 2 days, or one point, whichever way you look at it. I'm cruising on Feb 5th (2 days after the new program kicks in) which will give me 79 points total. On the old program, I'd be Platinum with 79 and grandfathered into that level...now I'll be one point shy. Ugh!!

NCL cancelled any excursions to Monaco during the Grand Prix, and I don't know of anyone who went on their own so I can't comment on your second question. I ended up going to Nice, which was beautiful seven weeks before the tragedy there.

Thanks, Keith. Did you go on a ship's tour?

Thank you both for your replies!

I will be in Cannes on Friday May 27th, during the Grand Prix. NCL is listing an excursion called "Highlights of Monaco and Nice" for that day, and I called to ask about it. The customer service agent did not have any further information, but I have read that no excursions will go to Monaco during the race days. As much as I'd love to see Monaco, I would hate to sign up and then deal with a last-minute cancellation on-board. Has anyone had any experience with this?

Thank you!

I have been in Studios on the Epic and the Escape, and neither one had a fridge.

I second everything that Ishan said, two posts above. I coordinated the group of 12 from our Roll Call and found Nikos to be very responsive to all emails. Our guide, Demitris was fun, friendly, enthusiastic, and spoke very good English.

All in all, I feel that we got a much better value than taking a ship tour, and we were able to maximize our time in port. Yes, you could save money and take the train, but the people we met who had done this didn't arrive at The Acropolis until we were on our way out...and the lines/crowds were massive by then!

I highly recommend Private Greece Tours.

We recently returned from NCL Spirit's Grand Med, and we used Rome in Limo for two tours: Rome Highlights and Vatican, and Pompeii, Sorrento and Positano from the Naples port.

We enjoyed both days with a fun group of eight! Our guides were Nik in Rome and Nicole at the Vatican; Giovanni was our driver in Naples and Costance Cacage was our guide at Pompeii. All were very knowledgeable and we would recommend them all.

Larry,

I am also scheduled for a tour with the same company and received an email today asking for the same information, so I hope someone "in the know" replies to your question.

Thanks!

Ibd-ct,

Thanks for the info and pictures!

I'm really looking forward to this excursion!

Ibd-ct,

Thanks for this information--it sounds like a blast! Did you book it through the ship? I recently booked this through NCL for our upcoming cruise on the Spirit, and they had me "reserve" only one person--but said it was no problem for both of us to go and share the Xrail. Is that the way you did it? I'm suspicious because doing it that way was less expensive than booking directly with the cozumel-tours dot com site. (and as we know, that's not usually the case with ship tours!)

Thanks!
