Condolences on booking a cruise on Epic. That is the worst ship in the NCL fleet

I've always found this odd. I go on vacation to relax and Zumba is the last thing I would want to do on a cruise LOL To each his own!

lol right? I would rather see other amenities implemented over free "entertainment". Give me FREE WIFI

I hated Epic so much I would never cruise on it again, even if it was free

There is more to cruising than price. I pay for an experience and I have been mostly pleased with the NCL experience.

I'm in the medical field and saw virtually zero cases of the flu during peak COVID season.

oh wow I had no idea this changed! Will definitely be choosing Food Republic on my next cruise instead of Le Bistro!

ah gotcha yeah I booked a studio. Seems backwards as our cruises are more expensive!

I think Canada actually started the trend. Once they announced they were dropping all requirements, others followed suit. I'm not understanding why people are getting mad at NCL specifically.

LOL I got COVID in 2020 because my son brought it home. I work from home and don't go out much. I traveled the world in 2021 and didn't even get a cold. I'm not going to say home because I'm afraid I might get sick. I'm getting too old to be afraid of living because you never know how many years you have left.

As someone who believes in vaccines, masks and testing...I'm glad to see this!! I understand how some of you might be upset, but this is a step in the right direction to getting back to normal. When we went on cruises last year, several excursions were cut short or changed because of all this. Now we can finally have the full cruise experience and I couldn't be happier.

I booked a 7 day for 2023 and only got one a solo traveler.

I've never paid for it, I use my free at sea perk

I'm not sure, it's the only balcony I've stayed in

The balcony itself. It was very peaceful.

I'm interested in Titanic history. Is it worth it to go to the Maritime Museum? Doesn't seem like they have a whole lot of remnants of the Titanic there. Should I just skip it and go to the cemetery instead?

I like using USD to bring back Canadian money as souvenirs

I changed from Carnival to NCL because of the BOGO/half price flights and the solo cabins. Carnival just cannot compete.

Lobster thermidor in Le Bistro is *chef's kiss*

ha! I don't either! I also hate knick knacks.

agreed it's just cringe

Right? So cringe.

Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this, but I'm looking for answers specifically for this excursion by NCL. I'm wondering if the Ultimate Rome excursion is worth it. I'm debating between this ($409 USD) and the Hop on/Hop off Rome ($135 USD). As you can see, there's a huge price difference. It's just me and my mom so I feel like the Ultimate Rome is the safer option as we would be with a group. Just wondered if anyone had an experience with either of these excursions.
