Thank you. I guess the proper terminology is upsell. Also, can you explain your answer for #4. Is there no compensation for rate drops?

What about at Princess Cays where the Cheers package can not be utilized? Do you know? That will definitely factor into our decision on whether to purchase Cheers since we are only on a 5 day Bahamas cruise.

Hi all: We just booked a cruise for two (no small feat since we have 8 kiddos between us) and I have a few questions. 1. Are we assigned a PVP and if so, when do they make contact? 2. How do upgrades work? Do you just get a random offering? 3. How about price drops? Does Carnival honor them and if so, do you just notify your PVP? 4. My husband and I have both purchased the Cheers Package but he also receives free drinks in the casino. He is strictly a beer drinker and can definitely go over 15 on sea days. Is it 15 alcoholic drinks a day period? Will free drinks in the casino count toward his 15? If needed, can he purchase a beer or two before he hits the 15? This probably will not be an issue since it's highly unlikely I will reach my quota but one never knows. Thank you! Lisa

Can I ask who you used? Anything sea related is a plus as my fiance is obsessed with water. He would be thrilled. We all would. Thank you!

I really don't know. I'm just trying to avoid craziness which may be an impossibility. I value your insight greatly. Any other suggestions? None of us are shoppers on a grand scale. We are more interested in beautiful scenery, art, architecture and a nice meal.

Maybe Sorrento and Ravello is not an option in my time frame? I was offered a combo of Ravello, Amalfi, Positano etc. I am not really knowledgeable to the distances between the two stops I have requested. I am really not interested in Positano, Amalfi or Capri based on what I have read with regard to the crowds. I would prefer more time at one destination than limited time in many. None of us are interested in shopping. Maybe I should just plan on going to Ravello. Thoughts?

I have not. Thank you. I will contact them.

My group (4 adults) have decided they want to visit Sorrento and Ravello when we are in Naples in May. We are in port from 6:30a-4:30p. I have contacted several tour operators but most have set tours that include Positano, Amali, etc. and we don't want those stops. Has anyone used a private car service they can recommend? I have contacted Ravello Taxi and have been quoted 640 euros for our party which I thought was a bit high but maybe not. Please let me know if you have any suggestions. Thank you kindly, Lisa

This helps me tremendously. I cannot thank you enough!

Hi all: I will be in Athens May 2, 2024 for a port stop. There are 4 of us, all physically fit, enjoy walking etc. To my knowledge, there will be one other ship in port that day and we will be there from 7a-6p. We do want to see the Acropolis and Parthenon. Beyond that, I am not sure and we are open to anything. I would love suggestions for an itinerary within that time frame that will be easy to accomplish. I am not interested in a ship's tour but am open to independent operators. Thank you in advance for your suggestions. Lisa

I'm trying to do just that. The planning itself is overwhelming and I want to see it all but know that will not be possible. The Sistine Chapel is definitely a must as well as the Colosseum. Thank you for your advice.

I will also be there in late April/May 2024 pre and post cruise and it will be my first time. I'm glad I found these forums as I am used to sailing the Caribbean where it is easy to just wing it. 😄

Well that makes me happy. Laughter is a wonderful thing! 😄

Good for you!! Fingers crossed for that! Are you happy with your flights?

I was told do not count on it. I just posted above asking about experiences. My NCL rep told me if that was important that I should consider booking my own air. I don't have to fly with my adult son and DIL but it sure would be nice.

Has anyone here used NCL Air and sailed with another couple (booking made at the same time) and managed to have flights together. We are all flying out of the same airport but was told we cannot be guaranteed flights together. I would love to book our own flight but it's not financially feasible for my kids especially.

Stressful! Vacation is supposed to be relaxing. Hope all goes well.

Well, at least they are thorough. 😅

I'm 8 months out and feel that way! 😭 Relax and enjoy. I can't wait to hear about your trip!

I hope you have an amazing trip. If you think about it, let me know how your tour goes.

I was just looking at this tour last night. When is your cruise?

Are you doing both or just the museums? May I ask what tour you have chosen?

We will arrive the day prior, unknown time. I am now thinking of just doing St. Peter's and I would love to do the dome climb. Is this reasonable if we get there super early? We will do the museums on the back end of the trip.

This looks like something I would love. Can you tell me about what time you took this tour?

Hmmm, that's odd as my rep just told me you can do a three day deviation with their hotels. It seems one won't really know until they try. Thank you for the information.
