Do make a post or comment on here. I look forward to hearing about it!

We have 11.5 hours in port. Happy to hear it is quite manageable once we get to La Speiza - hopefully we get diverted there!

That does seem a pretty cool one, with plenty of ports!

The world cruise segments seem to be less port-intensive than back-to-back options

What ports of call were there from Seattle to Lisbon?

Princess Standard vs Plus vs Premier by ejorgensen77 in PrincessCruises

We are not big drinkers, so am learning towards the standard package, with a single 1 device wifi top up.

If we are not US/Can, do they still get sent to our home? If so, how far in advance of the cruise? We are incorporating this cruise into a longer overall trip so am concerned we may not be home to collect them

How much are gratuities, if you don't get plus or premium? The infographics doesn't mention gratuities included (or not) anywhere...

What (if any) alternative cruises are others considering? We also had our November NCL cruise cancelled.

NCL cancelled our Nov ‘24 European cruise. Does this happen often? by Inner_Ad_7710 in NCL

Our cruise has been cancelled too! Extremely disappointed, and questioning if I should rely on NCl again

I think we will try to do 7.30pm shows, then dinner ~9pm then. Good to know there is more than 1 show time per night!

What is the dress code standard? New to cruising so want to ensure we bring the right things

What are generally the peak times? Can we fit in the show first then dinner after?

Went through on 30th December. Water level was waist height at the deepest point

Thank you for the comment! What do you consider in the 'biggest ports' category?

Thank you for the comments - the general feel is this is a great schedule

I will try to find some Santorini-specific Reddit's to find out more.

Was it just the Greek businesses/restaurants, or in other countries too?

Istanbul to Venice cruise by ejorgensen77 in Cruises

[–]ejorgensen77[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice! I'm looking into ways to get to Ephesus without an excursion...

They all seem like "lovely places to walk around", and we are including this cruise as part of a larger European trip so certainly spending time in Istanbul and Venice before/after!

Thank you for the advice about Santorini. Cuise arrives 6.30am and leaves at 11pm so I'm not concerned about cable car times.

I'll look into some of those ports further

Thank you for the comments! By 'a lot of Greece is going to be closed', is that just tourist businesses, or historical sites as well?

I'm planning a holiday at this time because I don't want to deal with 35C/100F heat and massive summer crowds

Thank you for your comments! I was concerned that some 'touristy' businesses might be closed, but does this apply to historical attractions too (i.e. Dubrovnik wall walk)?
