Thanks for your messages everyone

I asked about collection and they said

"You can choose the Skarfabakki cruise terminal as your pick up and drop off location.

The bus will arrive at the big parking lot by the port where all the other buses are parked."

So it sounds worst case is a walk to the port car park area? Does this sound familiar?

We are in Reijkavik from 12.00 to 12.00 the next day and so have an overnight. Will there be any problem soon within us getting off the boat early (I.e. 5am ish) for a private excursion? As in will there be a gangway open?

Thank you all for replying! 

We have chosen the dining package as part of our 2 Free at Sea promotion. We are cruising 14 nights so can have 5 nights dining according to our TA. We are on the Spirit so will we have access to all the chargeable restaurants, which seem to be   Teppanyaki, Sushi, la Trattoria, Cagneys and Le Bistro.

When I log on to My NCL it shows some available reservation times at some of these. Can I book these online now or do you have to wait to you are on board to book as part of the package? I don’t want to reserve and then have to pay when we have the package nights to redeem.

Also if these is no availability do they release more dates and tables on board?

Thanks!

Had anyone had experience of what happens on the last day of the cruise if the return flight does not leave until 23.00

Can you stay in cabin? Are you fed and does the drinks package continue?

What can we expect to pay for a taxi from Port to Burj Khalifa?

Is it simple via public transport?

I'm glad the jeep safari was good. We have booked it and were slightly nervous there wouldn't actually be much wildlife to see!

anyone else remember what time the 'early' show was on a med cruise?

So with a dining package there is nothing added to you ship account for ANY of the restaurants?

Great. Does a reservation cover any of the restaurants fee in full (Spirit) ?

Can someone who has sailed on the NCL Spirit Med itinerary say what time the evening shows were at?

If I purchase a dining package online (e.g. the 3 night speciality dining package) before we sail can we book the nights/times/restaurants we want in advance too?

How was disembarkation? Do you remember why time you docked and then when passengers started getting off?

Any experience of docking and using an NCL TRANSFER in Venice?

Will an 8am dock give enough time if flight is at 12noon and we book an NCL transfer?

Does anyone know the cost of the SINGLE from Stadgarden to VASA- we don't need a 24 hour ticket as will walk back to the ship from VASA.

Also whether they accept euros for this journey?

Don't recall the cost of a single journey (a hop-on all-day ticket is something like 20-25 euros - yes, they accept euros) but you can take their direct boat from Stadtsgarten (sp?) quay to the Vasa up til mid-morning when that service stops, after that you'd have to take the long way round on the ho-ho boat or some other form of transport

 

Think of the ho-ho route as a clock. Stadsgarden (sp?) quay is at noon and Vasa at 10 o'clock - so that early effectively-anticlockwise direct route saves a great deal of time. Additionally, lines for Vasa will form as the morning passes cos numbers are limited. So when up to capacity it's one out - one in, making it doubly important to make an early start for Vasa.

 

That ho-ho boat is only suitable if your boat is berthed at Stadtsgarden (sp again?:rolleyes:).

If your ship berths at Frimlingham (more sp ? :o) you'll need a bus or taxi.

If at Nynashamn (confident about that spelling :)) you're an hour or more away from the city.

 

JB :)

The direct boat in morning is what I'm after!

Can you buy a single HOHO boat ticket from port to VASA? What is the cost?

This is a great thread that has solved many transport questions.

I need to get from the Bella Sky hotel to Cruise Port on a Sunday and want to use public transport. There seems to be a bit of confusion over Sunday options so can someone tell me the best way to get from the hotel to port?

The cabin ones tend to be useless to anyone with long hair!

Thanks. What about hairdryer? Are you allowed to bring your own or does this get taken by security?
