which rail line goes from sou to gatwick? gatwick express?
yup.
i was shocked that i got the 11day for free given my low avg points per cruise and more importantly for NCL, the fact i didnt lose $ overall. (i might have lost a little on 1 of the legs)
1st time i've seen this offer.
I'm going to assume dice/cards are used.
also 1st time i've seen them advertise scratch cards ($20 for 5) + lotto ($10 for 5 games) bundle.
(There's no discount for buying this bundle)
I'm on the Dawn.
Was surprised to find out there's a free shuttle.
No mention of it on the Daily.
it stops at the Opera House, which is a couple of blocks from the Prime Minister's mansion.
Side note:
There are no armed guards at the Prime Minister's mansion 😮
Holy christ... South Hampton Central to Gatwick is $13.50 but anytime fares is $42.
Thx for the tip!
So I need the app for advanced purchase?
And how far in advance do I have to buy it?
My previous cruise was a b2b2b and I avg 3k points each leg. I don't think I lost any$.
Surprisingly,I called and got a free 11 day inside from cas.
The base price of that inside was $975 solo. (50%solo supplement)
ug.. so it sounds way cheaper to take taxi from pier to bsi terminal and buy blue lagoon & xfer combo?
then:
take bus to blue lagoon
rent locker at blue lagoon for luggage
take bus to airport
Downside is that we're on their bus schedule so only 2hrs in the water
CasNext is now advertised on the Daily so hopefully all casino hosts knows about it now.
I just saw the advert. Will ask the (sole) casino host on my cruise when she comes on duty. 😮
But Heard the restrictions are:
1) Good for 1 year
2) Can only be used for CAS originated cruises
ie: Not free land casino certificate cruises
Currently on the Dawn to Europe.
There's only 1 casino host instead of the normal 3.
She said it's only for Europe cruises and it's to save on costs. She also said the bigger ships have 2 hosts.
normally there are 4 hosts on the mega ships.
My 14 day cruise has very little gamblers but thats standard from my experience with spring transatlantics.
I'm assuming there's less gamblers on European cruises?
I arrive in Reykjavik at 7am. my flight to USA is 5pm.
Want to go to blue lagoon (2 people).
2options:
1) taxi to main bus terminal.
8am bus from main bus terminal to arrive at blue lagoon at 9am.
flybus leaves from blue lagoon to airport at 12pm and 2:30pm.
arrive at 9am, 30min check-in, so in the water at 930am.
get out of water at 1130am to shower/get dressed.
so only 2hrs in the water.
$59 total (each person) for flybus from 'bus terminal to blue lagoon' and 'blue lagoon to airport.'
2) ship (Celebrity) xfer to airport.
drop off luggage at airline lounge (free).
taxi from airport to blue lagoon.
taxi from blue lagoon to airport. leave around 1pm so 3hrs in water.
How much is taxi from airport to blue lagoon?
thx
