We will have 2 families of 4 each(total of 4  kids under 10) in cabins 11110 and 11112 just below the Garden Cafe buffet.  Does anyone have any experience with the level of noise during breakfast and dinner hours?  How noisy is it during these hours and should we try and move away from these 2 adjoining cabins??

Many thanks, Gene

Thank you all for your comments and directions. I will follow them

PS- I did not include St Petersburg because we have already booked a 2 day Deluxre tour with SPB Tours

We will be a group of 16 sailing from Copenhagen on Regal Princess on 7/4/2019 for 11 nights returning to Copenhagen on 7/15/19..  

The ship’s shore excursions are all over priced so our group is thinking about DYI via HOP ON/HOP OFF(HOHO) buses or other alternatives if they are available in the following ports of call:

1)I am not sure of the location of Regal Princess cruise terminals in each of the below ports but  Is there a nearby HOHO bus stop

 near each cruise terminal?  OR if HOHO is not a viable choice can you recommend local tour operators at each of these ports?

2)What sights would you recommend visiting at each port?

3)Regal Princess is scheduled return to dock at Copenhagen at 5am on 7/15/19. Our return flight to N.Y. from CPH airport is at 430PM. We are hoping to reach CPH at 130PM.  Assuming we disembark by 8am, we will have time for a tour up to 6.5 hrs to 130PM. However, we would like to keep the tour of 5 hrs or less. Would we be able to hit the major sights within the time frames mentioned? We would also like to keep our luggage with us on the tour and we are looking for recommendations from local tour companies to meet these objective.  Can you help??

Many thanks, Gene

Has anyone received a 50% Future Cruise Credit(FCC) instead of 25% from NCL's GEM from NYC on 10/31/17 to 11/11/17?? Many of my group of 39 passengers witnessed arguments between other passengers and Guest Services on board the GEM when they offered only 25% FCC. These passengers would not leave Guest Services until they received 50% FCC. NCL has mis-managed, mis-communicated and place heavy stress in constantly making changes to the immigration, debarkation processes. In addition, as requested I provided 2 nights before debarkation the airport locations for my entire group of 39 passengers. NCL sent the part of my group that wanted to go to Newark to JFK and the remainder that wanted to land in JFK to Newark.During my flight from Barbados to Newark other passengers were having loud discussions about the 50% FCC given to select passengers. This also occurred on the flight to JFK. I encourage all out co-passengers to write to NCL and request the 50% FCC. NCL should do the right thing and give ALL THE PASSENGERS 50% FUTURE CRUISE
