That is good info to have provided up front. You can follow the menu rotation on the Navigator app before you get on board.

All of this would depend on the nights that are dressy nights. So, if the dressy nights are not the second night and the next to last night, that would move the nights you are asking about.

They will be aware a ship is docking at Pier 80, and will be available. Its about knowing where the demand is. Same for taxis.

The Deck 6 cabins and the aft wrap Neptunes are SBs and SCs, (as opposed to the SAs on Deck 7) so will be cheaper. However, the cabin size on the aft wraps can be a bit smaller. The Neptunes midship on both Deck 6 and 7 are all the same size. We have two SCs booked on N. Amsterdam for next year, and have stayed in the Deck 6 SBs before.

A quick search:

Ooops...my mistake. I don't know anything about Virgin. We use Holland America, and have a 21 day Med cruise booed for 2025. They meet the needs we have, it will be our second Med cruise on HAL.

Try the Fish Market. A couple blocks south.

Viking is definitely not more of a "Caribbean" cruise line. In fact, my niece and nephew is about to do a Med cruise involving an extended Egypt pre-cruise visit. Focus on the ports you want to visit and the time spent in each. Europe has a lot of long tours and excursions...you need plenty of time in each port.

Take the ship's transfers. More expensive, but it will be a bus, and won't require child seats.

Suite pax have the same priority as 4 star...they will be seated in the same area.

Immigration? There isn't Immigration procedures to board...unless you mean showing your passport.

Sure, check is in the mail...

What ship? Might be different machines. Definitely not on Zaandam earlier this month.

We have as well...twice. Both in the middle of the night, both for small fires. Both situations were very short lived...less than 20 minutes. How did it go? Well, in one case, I looked out the door of our cabin, to see pax running down the hall, some with life jackets on, some carrying their life jacket, even though no order to report to muster stations had been given. So, while in the big picture, we followed the directions, at least some people did not. Having worked in emergency services for almost 40 years, this didn't surprise us. People don't behave logically nor follow directions in emergencies.

I have looked over the employee's shoulder several times...the picture doesn't show up at the bar or shop. It does at the gangway...perhaps at other other locations. But definitely not at bars or the stores.

Take a look down the board...lots of threads on hotels. You are sailing from Pier 91, so no hotel near there. Hotels that provide shuttles are pretty rare, but the downtown area is pretty compact, so a taxi or Uber will be pretty inexpensive. Been a few years, but it was $13 before tip from the Hilton downtown to Pier 91.

As frequently discussed here...Road to Hana, Haleakala, Iao Valley...

Apparently the Mods deleted it.

Same answer to your other thread. 4 to 5 months prior to sailing.

In advance, you can only book for the entire cruise. Once on board, you can book days individually, depending on availability.

Cinque Terre is much further away, so I would do that the first day. Pisa and Florence would be another long day... In both cases, if you are not interested in a private tour and transport, which are most definitely the most efficient use of your time, you are pretty much limited to trains.

I have not heard that any ships other than the Princess ships sailing from Vancouver can't go east of Vancouver Island. Are there others?

Finding tours at the dock is not "a thing" in Europe.

The simple answer...if are sailing to or from Vancouver, you are going through the "true" Inside Passage.

The benefits are the same as all other ships, except the Pinnacle class ships that have the separate Club Orange dining room. That, and the price are discussed here quite frequently. There is a thread just down the board from today that discusses the price. It is commonly mentioned that if you aren't on a Pinnacle class ship, the best benefits are the possibility of great savings in the cabin upgrade costs, if you book the right cabin category and upgrade seriously for no cost.
