Review summary

Join the excursions you'll enjoy them. The kusadasi, the Limassol, Haifa and Athens areas are the best tours one should take.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
We paid for covid test(Emed) one day prior to embarkation from our hotel ($150 , including shipping) because we were told by NCL its a mandatory requirement. When we arrived at Port of Athens, nothing was asked about out covid test,, instead we told there will be a covid test before we can board the ship.. We wasted paying for the Emedcovid test which was not even asked by the crew at the port. nothing was asked of the Emed test result
