It was NCL or Carnival..don't remember what ship...maybe been on too many cruises! (Nope!). I bought 6 to take back for some friends on the ship. Put them thru screening and the girl said you have doughnuts, I said yes and she said she would have to keep them, I thought she was kidding. She said that there was no non packaged food allowed back onboard.
They also did not allow a couple with burgers back on the ship. As I said, the security guards at the gate were very happy! I wonder if the people on the Anthem actually got them onboard?!

Tip...definitely go to the Holy Doughnut!
BUT do not bring them back to anybody onboard or for a snack later...
Because they confiscate them!!!
I got out of line, went back and sat on a bench and shared them with the security guards (who were quite excited when they found out I was holding Holy Doughnuts!)

I stayed in 12522 about two years ago and even though I read abou this problem, we did not have any issue at all nor did two others that were also in this type of room. I can't remember there specific room numbers though!
It is a beautiful room/cabin
Hope this helps

Hi
Have done this trip twice. It is a tight time connection but if you decide to do, ABSOLUTELY BOOK
A PRIVATE CAR SERVICE as suggested above. We were in a suite the last time and one of the first groups off...it took an hour to get a cab...there just weren't any!

Hi there,
I did the Wildlife Sydney a few years ago...we got off the plane, checked in to the hotel and headed to Darling Harbour and went straight to the Koalas. It was fabulous and although we bought a picture, they let us take as many as we wanted on our own. It was my first Koala experience and one I will always remember.

I probably win on this one....Got bid invitation, bid, was accepted 18 hours later on a cruise that was 3 months away....I bid poor range!
-
Also, Pilot, I don't know if they still have it, but if you are going on the weekend, there is a happy weekend ticket and up to 5 people could go for 33 euro FOR THE GROUP. We did it so I know it was around in 2016

Hi Pilot,
The train station is kind of the backyard of where the ship docks....I've been on this cruise twice and used the train both times. The trains are super easy to use.

I have been on this cruise twice with NCL and based on my experience, Russian immigration is very slow and there was only our boat in the first time and two in the second time. We had priority because of suite travel and it was still slow. I can only speak to my experience...we used SPB both times and they were fabulous. I would communicate with which ever one you are using and relay your worries and see what they say! I think all the major companies are completely interested in making sure you have a great time!
By the way, it is a trip of a lifetime...enjoyed it so much we did it again!

Just got back and we are from the USA...from the price, probably used the same car hire! We used going to Southampton and back after b2b cruises. Both drivers were excellent and on time.
We gave them 80£

I think he is talking about the onboard credit that you get from the casino for your tier level. Because I'm sapphire I get 200 obc that can be used anywhere on the ship except ,ironically, the casino.

No, it was 12522 for the Baltics
I was worried about the Biergarten thing before hand but we never heard a thing

Hi there
Stayed in 12522, problem with jogging track minor..favorite cabin ever!!!
The problem one sea day morning with some one on the jogging track at 6am! Heard the thumps as he went over us. Called guest services and it stopped in about 5 mins. The jogging track was closed at the time, with obstacles, but whoever decided that didn't apply to them!
The cabin itself was spectacular and did not miss a balcony at all!!

Scott, if booked thru CAS, YOU SHOULD GET THE DRINK CARD NO MATTER THE LEVEL. If you are not booked under CAS, and you haven't ever played to the next level, you get Jade (used to be Lucky) and you have to play to 1500 points to get drink card.
That's how it has always been as far as my experience with people I've been with.

By the way, if you are looking on a phone, the lines Across all brands and Norwegian cruise benefits don't appear..at least not on my iPhone! It just sjhows the long list
Could be the cause of confusion?!
-
Hi look at the chart closely..at least how I'm reading it..
At the top is ACROSS ALL BRANDS (which includes Oceania and Regent)
Then about 1/3 down. It say NORWEGIAN CRUISE LINE BENEFITS
Many of the benefits for NCL CAS are still there (no Spa or dining credit but now obc). We just picked up some benefits on the other 2,
Convenience fee is 3% at the machines, cash advance has to do with getting a cash advance on credit card..completely different thing

You can take the bus from the port authority! And it's in walking distance from the port!

Hi,
Depending on Obc origin, it sometimes can't be used for gratuities
Because VAT goes to a third party, didn't know if they woul let you use obc?!
Thanks!

Can OBC be used to pay Vat on drinks and food? Would love to hear from someone that has traveled on Vista already!
Thanks!
