The admission comes with an audio guide but this was purchased through NCL so it’s all in included.  $49.00 for this excursion and the $50.00 credit covered it!

I usually sail solo also, and until recently only on NCL (would love to sail RC, but waiting for a really good offer). But, I rarely am able to take advantage of the $50 credit, because I’m a beach gal, and I’d rather book those myself - no crowded bus ride and not restricted to a crowded beach area.

I hear you and agree with you … for beach destinations the excursion credit does not make much sense if you just want to do the beach but on a port intensive stop like this cruise … it is amazing!  Most of the excursions were about $20 or less or even free!

Instead of crowding around when we fort got off the bus to take pictures, I waited until we are about the board the bus to get pictures!

 

Smart!

A lot to see at the Beatles Museum.  I’ll have to go back and take another look.  How long did you stay there?

@BennyBrun...for what it is worth, if the buses are crowded are folks wearing masks?

 

I follow several other reviews and it seems like there is a rash outbreak of C on cruises and some are saying it is from crowded buses, long flights, airports, no masks etc.

 

32% of cruisers returning from Alaskan cruises have come down with Covid.

 

Stay safe!

We were given about 90 minutes.  I used 60 minutes but did not hear every single clip of the audio information.  I was told there won’t be enough time to hear it all.

The buses are about 50% full for my tours and no one is wearing a mask.  I have Covid tests with me so I will be testing tomorrow.  I do avoid the elevators as they are jammed like a sardine can!

Wow … this was a packed day!  On the way back to the ship and it’s about 6PM.  The ship leaves at 7:30PM tonight.  Originally it was supposed to leave at 8PM but they started to make announcements this morning that the all aboard time has been changed to 7PM!

It is not very busy up here… one side is open and empty space to love about … nothing spectacular but lots of options to choose from.  Nothing wrong with the taste but nothing to say WOW!

I see Jello, being in England one would think that trifle would be served.  🤔

Production Show… with singers and dancers and hosted by the cruise director Troy.  I have to say he is not the greatest cruise director probably one of the worst.
