Rare mking8288 Posted October 5, 2023 #533 Share Posted October 5, 2023 (edited) Good morning from NY, afternoon to you ... Epic is docked on the opposite side on the busy cruise piers by the historic Fort & Castle on the hilltop, beautiful at night when lit up. It's a long hike to the waterfront for Tapas, what's your plan for the rest of the day ? NCL running free ? shuttles as local taxis claimed narrow streets & traffic and won't go to that area. @HBCcruiser is spot on - Valiant Lady of Virgin Voyages Edited October 5, 2023 by mking8288 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A line that I'm a part of but 'over there' drinking a glass of champagne instead? Sounds good to me, I'm getting the willies about 4K pax on Epic! I have only experienced Virtual Queue on the Prima. If you are not able to book a reservation for a show at the theater, e.g., the Donna Summer musical, you can use the app to join the Virtual Queue about an hour prior to the show, rather than physically stand in the standby line. Either way, I was always able to get into a show last minute because so many people book the shows yet fail to show up. Though the Virtual Queue option always shows up on the app, it was not operational on any of my other cruises this year. I would be curious whether anyone else has used it on the other ships.

We sailed her in February 2016 and in fact visited Palma during that trip. I do *not* recommend a balcony cabin for the Med in February. Way too cold! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mking8288 Posted October 5, 2023 #539 Share Posted October 5, 2023 👍 Joining the locals for Cappuccino on those side street's hideaway cafe 👌 with Tappas at half prices vs. the tourist traps on the main avenue. Enjoy another cup b/c nothing like what they served onboard at Starbucks. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
growthruit Posted October 5, 2023 #540 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Enjoying your perspective of this trip. We are also along with you, couple floors down in a balcony cabin but having an amazing time! This may be a silly question, but I’m so curious, can you scan your haven card at the elevators and they come right to you? Would certainly be a nice perk. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another opportunity to exercise my ignorance. But always so pleasing if I can actually get something like this to work. Will report back, hopefully. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Dis)Embarking….they have someone at one of the elevators to deck 16 or 17. But, that’s the only time I’ve seen that! All other times, I hear “doors are opening….doors are closing” seemingly on every deck! LOL! Today, the Haven line to reboard was longer than the “regular” line! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
