Yes, ship tours. We are eliminating the one with shopping and the one with folk show. Agree and thanks for the info. My spouse is fluent in Spanish, so that helps with some of our travels.

We will be in Cartagena at end of February 2023 and trying to decide between 4 different tours. Briefly listed below. Any feedback will be helpful. This will probably be the only time we are there and want a good experience. #1 Old Cartagena Walking Tour ( 3 hours and includes shopping) #2 Exploring Magnificent Cartagena ( almost 5 hours and includes Folk Show and Beverage) #3 San Felipe Fortress & City at Leisure ( 4 Hours Getting dropped off) #4 Amazing Cartagena Bay & Walled City ( 4 Hours and with Audio Guided Tour) All the tours are similar but the wording a little different. Are all the guided portions of the tours, audio guided or do they have a person speaking to the group? Thankyou, very much!

To Diane67B - Of course you can get a table on your own. Sounds like for 2. We always do across many different cruises. Experience taught us. Why? To the rest of the conversation... To get in and out faster to be able to make the shows or other events going on. Not getting stuck with a language I do not understand. To be able to have a private conversation with spouse. And, well what everyone else has said. But if the ships could just spread those tables farther apart would be nice. Diane you are going to love the Oasis of the Seas. The ship along with the Allure are our favorite ships out of 40 years of cruising. The Mariner of the Seas is pretty nice too. Have fun!

Hi to YVRteacher, I enjoyed reading your experienced commentary as we can relate to much of it as we just sailed on Encore the week before - dates August 21-August 28. We can identify with much of what you wrote. Just a few notes here. We were attending the Choir of Man on the 25th. When Tom, the Bartender did that huge jump to the table, I wondered how sturdy the table was. He did not break his leg that night as he continued the show. And the next day we saw him in Ward Cove when he was with other cast members gathering at a table. He was fine then too. It must have been at a later show. But just before that show started on 25th as people waited an emergency call came out over the system for Medical Emergency at The Speedway. It was repeated again later. The next day when we arrived in Ward Cove, we were having coffee up in the Lounge after most tour's left, when we saw an ambulance come up to the ship and when it left it stopped and turned it's lights off before continuing. We decided to go out to the old whare-house and saw a lot of luggage being wheeled out to a few cars at the ships exit ramps. We figured it had to do with an accident at the Speedway. We didn't know any details. Later we took a walk up to see the Speedway while most people were off the ship. Not much happening. Maybe 4 cars were on the track. On a better note, Guns & Rojas were a big highlight, as well as what has been mentioned by the original narrator. The food in Le Bistro was fantastic. We did have the Beverage package but didn't understand how much I can have. But I think I do now for the next cruise on The Panama Canal on The Bliss. Take Care all. Enjoy Life!

So even though we are on the same reservation? The same Cabin, The same last name, the same charge account?

With the NCL APP on our phones and 2 or more guests on the Reservation does each person have to have their own log in to get on the ship? Thanks,
