I found an itinerary with Sky Princess (6/15/2024 RT from Southampton) that includes Flaam(6/18/2024), Hellesylt and Geiranger (6/19/2024). I have called  Princess 3 times and they cannot tell me the tours that are available between Hellesyilt and Geiranger.

Can anybody tell me what happens between those to ports of calls?

Looking for some itinerary help  in order to choose the Norwegian cruise. We are looking at Caribbean Princess departing Southampton on June 14, 2024.

My husband likes the 16 day cruise, but I am not sure how many of this stops will let us see the most fjords.

any advice or recommendation will be greatly appreciated.

Are you spending the night in Manhattan? What are you looking for? Good price and good selection is very dependent on your price and tastes. It looks like there are several within an easy walk of MCT, including one on 53rd and 10th Avenue. I'll defer to a local. If you're overnighting, you have different choices. NYC beer/wine/liquor laws can be "interesting", and it's on you if you want to try to walk all over Manhattan to find a couple of bottles of wine! And most stores are very neighborhood oriented.

 

 

Flying from Puerto Rico early in the morning. I will lke to go to a wine store and pick up some bottles either after I checked in or before I go to the port.

Sailing on NCL on April 22 from NYC to Barcelona.This will be our first TA. I had being researching the weather but I still unsure on what to expect. Any ideas?

Sailing on the TA from New york to Barcelona on April 22nd. NCL is allowing people to buy a certain number of bottles of wine prior to embarkation. Does anybody can recommend a wine store near the port? ( good prices and selection)

A question to Aggie83: what do you think of the itinerary?  How do you rate the ports of call? Thanks 

We are looking a last minute sailing on HAL ship Oosterdam on December 6 from Chile to Buenos Aires. I am looking for pre-cruise recommendations.

Should we stay in Santiago de Chile prior to the cruise or Valparaiso?

Are there reliable buses that we can take from Santiago to the port in San Antonio? Or should we pay the transfer from the airport in Santiago de Chile to the port?

I was quoted $900 for a 2 night stay at the Sheraton in Santiago plus transfer for 2 nights by HAL; and that is too high.

alohayall: I never bought the beverage package. But the prize of the cocktails is high.

I waited about 30 minutes for the results. I did not have the luggage with me, but there were some people with small carry ons with them. We handed our luggage in the Seattle airport to the NCL representative and I saw it in my cabin in early afternoon.

The testing went smooth. It helped that I completed the sign up with Eurofins, which is the company conducting the testing.

You will swirl the swab on your nostrils yourself, and hand it back to the technician.

Let me clarify: the price of 1 margarita and 1 Long Island ice tea with gratuity was $34 on the first day.

They use one exit and they did not separate those going on a tour from those who did not on disembarkation. It was a real mess!

Disembarkation at Icy Strait Point ( Hoona Is) was a mess!

The prices of the drinks are higher ( a margarita a Long Island Ice tea $34). I regret not getting the drink package with this prices. 
So, I highly recommend the drink package because a single can of seltzer water with gratuity will cost you $3.60.

Service has being fantastic.

Food is outstanding.

we enjoyed Choir of Man tremendously.

Sailing in NCL Encore on 8/14 ! 
we have ATT and I will like to know how well is the phone service in Icy Strait Point, Skagway, Juneau and Ketchikan.

Will I have to contact ATT and get extra service.

Thanks for the replies.

What can I expect from NCL on August 14 ( my sail date)?

Thank you

Thank you. Do you mind sharing how did you get the tour operators?

Cruising August 14 on NCL Encore from Seattle. 
I will like to book tours with private operators rather than NCL. Is Alaska allowing private tour operators to do tours already?

we are doing Icy Strait, Skagway, Juneau, and Ketchikan.

any advice?

To bottom-dragged : 😱

i thought I only had to deal with them in Cozumel.

Going to Alaka on NCL Encore on 8/14/2021. First time in Alaska. My main concern is: What to pack as far as clothing?

I have cruise like 15 times, mostly in the Caribbean, never in Alaska.

Thanks in advance for any tips.
