Born and raised in Lake Charles, then lived in Texas for 20 years and now I am back home.

I saw that shop but I knew I would have blown my whole budget there so did not go in. LOL. I crochet and have more yarn than I could possible ever use.

We just did this itinerary in July and Kirkwall was one of my favorite stops. I can understand that they need to limit ships because it is a very small town. I really like the smaller stops with shops that are owned by locals so you can get a feel for the location and sample the local foods.

We use an NCL PCC. Ours is knowledgeable and usually responds to our calls the same day. For us it is peace of mind that we have one contact that can answer any questions or get us to the right department if he can not help. No long waits on hold and a response within 24 hours most times if we have to leave a voice mail.

Another vote for Delos and I really enjoyed Olympia but I can't remember what Island it was on. Also enjoyed the castle in Rhodes.

We are leaving in 30 days from IAH and we got a non stop to Heathrow leaving around 8 PM and getting in to London around 10 AM (can't remember the exact times) through NCL. This will be our third time using their BOGO deal and we are always happy with our flights. My suggestion is when you get your flight information use the reservation number on the airline website and choose your seats.

You will find alot of opinions on this board. We have used it three times with no problems. If you go with them, you can not choose your flights but once it is booked you can go to the airline website and choose your seats. Just be aware that will be the only thing you have control of. We are ok with that but some people are not. I don't have the time or motivation to shop for the lowest fares so it works for us.

We had to call the Air department directly to get ours. We are at around 50 days out and they have our reservations just have not emailed them out or posted to our account yet.

We have Jonas too. He is the best!

In the last two years we have flown from Houston to Athens and Barcelona (I can not remember the airline, sorry) but I use a "normal" size backpack that could accomodate a small laptop and did not pack it tightly and it fit perfectly under the seat. I will be using it again this summer.

We have used NCL BOGO flights twice and have our third one booked for July. We have had no problems with any of our trips. The first one was to Greece and we flew in day of which was a little stressful just because we had never done it before but we got to the ship in plenty of time and had no problems. The second trip we flew in a day early just for our own peace of mind but not because of anything NCL had done. I do suggest that you go to the airline's website and try and pick your seats ahead of time. I usually just choose seats that are not an extra cost so that my husband and I can sit together. It is very easy, just use the confirmation number that is on your flight information. Once you land there is usually an NCL rep very visible by the baggage claim or right outside of it gathering the group for the ride to the port. Have fun! I am sure you will have a great time.

Having almost everything paid for before you board so you can just unpack and enjoy the ride.😃

I think they move the ships during hurricane season.

My husband and I just did our tests at Walgreens drive thru from the same car. We did have to have two separate appointments. We are in Louisiana.

We are cruising next week in the Mediterranean and our PCC told us that all ships are cruising at below capacity and should not be at 100% until maybe the first quarter of 2023. Our ship will be at 40-50%.
