Rare L1211 Posted April 3 #1 Share Posted April 3 Loved the recent Bliss cruise so much, looking at TA in February. Ship is beautiful and service exceptional. Few questions for the pros: - how’s the crossing in February - seas? - how’s the Wi-Fi on a crossing? Need to work… - how do folks get from LeHarve to Paris? Looks like a haul… - anyone been to Ponta Delgada? Looks gorgeous! - anything to do in Le Harve vs commute to Paris? - crazy question- cruise goes Southampton to Le Harve- any chance to just join in Le Harve versus London to Southampton, Southampton to Le Harve, Le Harve to Paris and back? Thanks in advance, always insightful and helpful community!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Turtles06 Posted April 4 #2 Share Posted April 4 Glad to hear your great feedback on the Bliss. We are taking the eastbound TA over next January before the dry dock. 16 minutes ago, L1211 said: how do folks get from LeHarve to Paris? Looks like a haul… It is. (Paris is best done on its own, with at least several days.) The whole "Paris from Le Havre" question is discussed frequently in the France Ports of Call forum, here: https://boards.cruisecritic.com/forum/462-france-ports/ (And please note for any research/searches you may do that the spelling is Le Havre. 🙂) 15 minutes ago, L1211 said: anything to do in Le Harve vs commute to Paris? See the aforementioned France Ports of Call forum. Le Havre is in Normandy, a great jumping off point for tours of the D-Day sites (among other places). Check out Overlord Tours. Fabulous. 17 minutes ago, L1211 said: anyone been to Ponta Delgada? Looks gorgeous! Yes, and it is. You'll find info in the Portugal Ports of Call forum here: https://boards.cruisecritic.com/forum/465-spain-and-portugal-ports/ 20 minutes ago, L1211 said: crazy question- cruise goes Southampton to Le Harve- any chance to just join in Le Harve versus London to Southampton, Southampton to Le Harve, Le Harve to Paris and back? I think only NCL can reliably tell you that. But also, according to what I've read, sometimes Le Havre is missed because of weather. Can you fly into Paris before your cruise, spend time there, and then take the Eurostar to London (a fun thing in and of itself)? Enjoy the crossing if you book it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you @Turtles06 we’ve done both Paris and London but could see revisiting Paris for a couple of days if only to shop and dine! Considering flying into Amsterdam then direct to Southampton - so many options! Sounds like missing Southampton could be a bad idea. Appreciate the input! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
