It winds up being one day because we won’t get there until 7-8 PM at night on Friday - if all goes well flight-wise. We check in for our cruise early on Sunday. After the cruise we are staying 5 days in Rome at the W and have some Viator tours planned. I am flying to Rome 30 days from today (11/2) for 5 days before my Prima TA. First time there. Taking the train Tuesday afternoon to Florence, spending all day there on Wednesday and then the train back to Rome on Wednesday night. Shuttle to Civi on Thursday morning to board the ship. Looking forward to your review. Enjoy your cruise! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not done one yet but now that I’m retired, it’s in the future planning. 🥂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare HBCcruiser Posted October 3 Author #53 Share Posted October 3 I heard from our driver and he sent me a photo of where he will be meeting us at the airport. We will head to the airport today at 1PM. Cheers! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare HBCcruiser Posted October 3 Author #54 Share Posted October 3 NOTE: To Epic Haven cruisers: I noticed that the mailed luggage tags are too dark and you can’t read the cabin number, so I printed the tags out AND put both the printed tag and mailed tag inside the luggage tag holders. Hopefully this will help guide our luggage to our cabin. The printed tags clearly show the cabin number but DO NOT say priority on them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coachyo Posted October 4 #61 Share Posted October 4 Looking forward to hear about this trip. We are doing almost exact same June 2025 on Epic with 6 of us. 4 are new to NCL, we're also in the Haven. We did the same cruise as Sailing12Away on Epic out of Barcelona (lovedit!) Looking forward to hear plans for Santorini, Mykonos and Athens especially. If you're up for a few questions, would love to hear from you. In Santorini is there a ferry to Oia, once you get off tender? If, so how much per person? Did you do the stairs up or down? In the Haven, who is in charge of the restaurant? Can you find out how long they've been there? How was B&B in Civitavecchia? Do they have 3 rooms for 6 people? How were ransfers to port from airport? I appreciate any info. Have an awesome time! CoachYO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare HBCcruiser Posted October 4 Author #62 Share Posted October 4 Made it to London early but the lines to go through security were long.Fast track was closed. Figures. Now at the gate. Rome next stop! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare HBCcruiser Posted October 4 Author #63 Share Posted October 4 In Rome. The airport lines for customs were bill. We walked right through. Our driver was waiting for us and now driving to our B&B. The lines to get cabs was loooong! Glad we had our reserved. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arizona Sunshine Posted October 4 #64 Share Posted October 4 Please explain the collection of OJ (and champagne?) in 5A. And have a great cruise. We leave Tuesday for Seoul to board the NCL Spirit. (But in Delta Economy 🤐.) AS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare HBCcruiser Posted October 5 Author #71 Share Posted October 5 Ok sorry to leave you hanging. We got back to our place around 8:30 and were planning to relax and call it an early night. Well we couldn’t get the front door to the apartment open. Our host and the neighbors were great. Apparently it was a bad key. We finally got in. All is well. The place is cute, clean with great hosts. More to come. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoachYO I won’t be able to answer the ferry question because we are doing an NCL excursion. In our B&B unit there are three bedrooms and two baths total. One bedroom with a full bath attached (that’s the one we have) and two bedrooms that share a bathroom. So far it’s been great. Other than the key issue but that’s been resolved. We are so close to the ship we can walk there tomorrow! lovely views here too. Breakfast made to order! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare HBCcruiser Posted October 5 Author #75 Share Posted October 5 (edited) After breakfast we walked around the port area and found the place to grab a shuttle to the ship tomorrow. Seems easy. We shall see. DH found a great wine tasting room. Very eclectic but cheap and GOOD! I SPY with my little eyes…👀 Edited October 5 by HBCcruiser 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
