eLizzieBelle Posted April 4, 2016 #26 Share Posted April 4, 2016 I recommend you check out "Tours by Locals" - excellent company and has always gotten us back to the ship! They offer private and semi private build your own tours. We love them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeko Posted April 4, 2016 #27 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Hi. All this chat about shuttles etc makes me think of getting to Barcelona airport. I need to be at the airport by about 9.15. Can anyone help with (1) what time we can get off the Epic. (2) are there taxis waiting near where the Epic docks. My first time to use Barcelona so any info appreciated. Thanks Deeko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what time on sailing day.....Sunday 17th April will it be possible to board Epic. That would be very helpful. Thanks again. Deeko If you look at your cruise documents I think you should see the information. Maybe your TA has not given you them yet. I am on the same cruise as you and have edocs, this is what is says: BOARDING PROCESS •Boarding begins at: 12:00 pm Please do not arrive earlier than 1 hour prior to boarding time shown. •Departure time: 6:00 pm All Guests must be on board the ship no later than 2 hours prior to the departure time noted on these documents or they will not be permitted to sail. I selected a hotel near to the Sagrada Familia so we are going to do a visit first and then check out of the hotel and take a taxi. In 2010 I did a visit of Casa Batllo and last time I walked to Montjuic (gives great views of the port so can be the first view of the ship early in the morning) before leaving for the ship. I know it is exciting to get onto the ship as soon as possible but I do like to see a bit of Barcelona too. It really is a nice city to visit.

Mrfiland Posted April 11, 2016 #37 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Hi I am a new cruiser from Hong Kong (sorry for my bad English). Does anyone know the time of the earliest NCL shuttle from Livorno ports to train station? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jodieh12 Posted April 15, 2016 #38 Share Posted April 15, 2016 We've just got back on board and we were cleared at 7.10 and the first shuttle left when it was full so probably 7.20ish? Xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZIZZIBOQQ Posted April 18, 2016 #39 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Can i ask if norwegian epic offers a shuttle bus from all ports to centre such as livorno cannes marseille barcelona naples. I will sail on 27 july 2016 and i wish to go on my own thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vickmar Posted May 5, 2016 #40 Share Posted May 5, 2016 We’ve been to Naples five times on a cruise and have never toured Naples. As soon as you get off the ship, the windows for hydrofoils, boats to take you to the surrounding Amalfi Coast towns, is right there. We’ve been to Capri, Sorrento and Positano, all on our own, and it was fabulous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeyetlse Posted May 5, 2016 #41 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Can i ask if norwegian epic offers a shuttle bus from all ports to centre such as livorno cannes marseille barcelona naples.Your question has already been answered earlier in this thread for Livorno, Marseille, Barcelona, and Naples. Cannes is a tender port, and you get dropped off in the Old Port, in the center of town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
