Are there special provisions made for this situation (vs. the pick up your number the night before) ?? 10 hours ago, ziggyuk said: NCL shore excursions trump everyone, they get you off as a group. No need for a number, they handle it all. Right, the Shore staff takes you straight to the front of the line for the tender. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trump Posted May 31, 2023 #277 Share Posted May 31, 2023 On the last day of my Sept cruise we arrive in Southampton at 5:00 am. Would a 9:15 am flight from Southampton airport be doable??? Do you recall what time they started letting passengers off Star? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The announcements started at 6.45 am so I am sure you will have time to get to the airport and check in, with good time to spare. You can make sure the ship knows you want an early start. If you take all your luggage with you, you can get off first. Edited May 31, 2023 by ConnieTact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully someone may come along and post about it here. if I bump into anyone who did that tour I will ask them- to be sure! Just got back. We booked through Paddytours and have 3.5 hrs at blarney castle and 1.5 hrs at Kinsale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be grateful if you could confirm the drinks situation, as well as return to full service if they are adding taxes or other charges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No bars closed outside of normal hours. Never charged any taxes in ports. Had a drink in my hand 15 minutes after boarding in Southampton. Same for Belfast. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you! I enjoy writing them but also they make a great ‘aide memoire’ for me! There’s plenty of opportunity to meet people while playing games, and on the dance floor! I can’t remember about any organised get togethers. I should have kept hold of one of the daily sheets! Some people asked to sit alone, but often we were asked if we wanted to share a table in the main restaurant so, that was a good opportunity to meet others. Also if there is a Roll Call for your trip, there may be a meet up. I’m sure you’ll have a good cruise. Where is your itinerary taking you? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We kept the daily sheets from the Norwegian Star cruise departing 21 May. I can see there were daily meet and greet sessions for solo travellers, held at 5.30pm in the Bliss Lounge. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
