Loving your review! What time did the ship arrive into Cabo? Was it much of a wait for tender #3?

Loving your review! You said you had ticket #23 for a 10:30 tender ?? What time did your ship dock?

I purchased the additional cost of $18 that will let me change once on the ticket. So I guess worse case is I go a little later and not 'direct'. I'll cross my fingers or good weather . ha ha Thanks !

Our ship is supposed to arrive at 6AM. Speaking from experience only, is catching an 8:15 departure from Maria Train Station doable?

Are we still allowed to bring on bottled water? I read somewhere it has to be 'canned' water now. Do they even sell canned water? lol

Its a tradition for us to go to Coconuts in Fort Lauderdale. Has everything you're looking for https://www.coconutsfortlauderdale.com/ Great seafood right on the causeway.

Our flight leaves at 6 AM to Athens, just wondering ..... Is Uber the best way? Google Maps indicate it is a 35 minute drive from our hotel ... what time to depart our Marseille hotel? Thanks!

Interesting ! Learning so much from you. Thank you so much Alserrod!!

those train times would be perfect... however, not available on October 23rd 😞

Thank you Alserrod. Looking further into the train schedules ... seems like the only connection I could possibly take would leave at 8:05 am > change in Madrid > 2.5 hr lay over > then arrive in Barcelona at 4 pm. I am not confident in a 8 am departure time nor spending the whole day travelling. Now looking at a 9:15 am departure from AGP to BCN arriving 11 am.

Sorry ... also which train stations to use? Depart Frm: Malaga-Maria Zambrano Malaga Aeropuerto Velex-Malaga Torreblanca Malaga Centro Alamdea Arrive To : Barcelona Sants Barcelona El Prat Barcelona Passeig de Gracia Barcelona Estacio de Franca Barcelona El Prat T1 Barcelona-Arc de Triomf El Prat T2 El Clot-Arago Sant Andreu Condal la Sagrera Meridiama Torre-Baro Aeroport Josep Tarradellas

This is great information. Thank You! I think we will do the train. Our ship (RCCL VOTS) is supposed to dock at 6 am. Any idea on how much time to depart, clear custom/immigration and arrive at train station in Malagra? We will be docking in MALAGRA and heading to Barcelona... I think you had the itinerary reversed.

My other option is to fly from Malaga to Barcelona. 1.40 hr flight. there are flights departing at 9:15 and also 11:25 am the morning we depart the ship. Any suggestions on preference? TIA

Our cruise actually encompasses 4 Greek Islands already (Crete being one of them) and we have yet to explore the South of France and also Spain. Our cruise ends up in Malaga Spain. Something about watching all those James Bond movies really intrigued us to want to explore the French Riviera 🙂 Are there any castles to visit in the area?

Thank You !

Hello 🙂 Firstly, our cruise leaves from Athens and ends in Malaga Spain. We have a week prior to the cruise that we would like to visit some places, including the French Riviera. Coming from Edmonton, what airport and what location would you recommend flying into? Also what area (Cannes, Monte Carlo, Marseille ... etc) would be a good base for a hotel to visit beaches, shopping, markets? After our week in the area our plan is to fly to Athens 2 days pre cruise. Suggestions? edits? Thanks all!

Great Advice! Thank you all 🙂

Hi All Disembarking in Malaga on a Wednesday but flying out of Barcelona on the Friday morning. Not much into history or museums. Just sightseeing and shopping, spending time at markets. Would you suggest we get on the train straight away, or overnight in Malaga before spending time (what little we have of it!) in Barcelona? We have never been to Spain. Thanks!

nicper what do you mean "NCL is not honoring that statement" They confirmed that to me even through a phone call. Do you have proof otherwise? Please let me know! TIA

Interested in doing this also .... Response from NCL was "No"

For anyone travelling with NCL. This is from their web site Israeli passport holders require a visa for Egypt before the cruise. No other nationalities require a visa to visit Egyptian ports by sea on a cruise ship. Some nationalities, such as Canadians, require a visa to fly to Egypt, but do not require a visa if entering Egypt by sea. https://www.ncl.com/freestyle-cruise/cruise-travel-documents#visa-requirements looks as though no visa necessary if not flying in and out of Egypt.

Cruise went great! No concerns at all. We did not purchase additional medical or any type of insurance.

I have taken the 11 AM departing flight from both Miami and FLL and never once had an issue (15 times)

My husband is totally fine. Finished Treatments in March. Lingering symptoms from continuing hormone injections are low energy (can still do somewhat the same activities but needs to rest inbetween), and hot sweats. Injections will continue until May of next year.

Has anyone requested or actually done this? Customer service at NCL is no help.
