Thucydides Posted April 28, 2009 #1 Share Posted April 28, 2009 I did not see a post specifically dealing with this so I thought that I might get some feedback here. I am wondering what to expect on the ship shore excursions in terms of what transportation will be like. We are taking the NCL Baltic Capitals cruise. I am a pretty big guy (ok, very big) and am concerned about just how packed in to expect to be on any buses and the like that the excursions use. I really want to avoid both an uncomfortable trip for me and, more importantly, making other passengers uncomfortable. Thanks for any help or advice.

We do indeed feel pretty packed in on most tour buses. We can manage it for a short tour but an all day trip will leave us feeling sort of squished. In many cases we use a private driver and vehicle. It is often not much more expensive than the ship's tours and a lot more comfortable. We are also a bit mobility limited (well, slow!) and like to go at our own pace. I think you will be OK with the ship's tours, but you should check out the private guides too. Check out our review and pics at http://www.elite.net/~thehalls/baltic.html and you can see how we did it comfortably. Have a GREAT cruise!
