    “Pretty mediocre pre-meal service” . I can’t remember the last time i even got a pre-meal service. Been flying with Iberia, air canada, and latam for 20 years and have never got one (unless i was in business) so you should be thankful 😂

    So cool. We’re going same flight too next month. 😉
    Update 2021 : Just got back from our NCL Epic journey yesterday. It was an amazing experience. Good service and their staff were phenomenal. The only thing the downside was their food in the buffet section “Garden Cafe” which was always same food everyday. So we decided to eat on a different restaurant like Manhattan, Taste, and O’Sheehans. They’re all complimentary and you’ll see it on their freestyle newsletter that they give you every day in your stateroom. The Italy trip was kind of a bummer bec you have to stay with the group. The last group tour called “ Highlights of Sardinia” (?) we had was kind of a rushed. We paid $54 pp which was not worth it at all. The whole time we were on a bus we only stop once to take photos then the tour guide wasn’t that great at all. Oh well. We were planning to go on a tour to Florence although someone said that the Florence wasn’t even open so we decided to just take the Highlights of Sardinia instead. The Barcelona and the Mallorca tour was great bec they let you go on your own. I guess it depends how you feel about it. As I said some people may find it ok. Also I suggest if you’re going to be on your own, try the Hop on Hop off bus. It’s cheaper to just buy the ticket right on the bus stop. There’s quite a few Hop on Hop off busses available. Just be patience when communicating with them coz some of them you really have to talked in a simple English as well as with a hand gestures. Another warning too is their WiFi. You pay extra to get the unlimited WiFi but so slow and can be only use one person at a time(per stateroom). Fortunately I have a data roaming on my phone so I can use my service when on land. On your downtime on NCL, another suggestion too is to go to their shows too. We enjoyed watching the Priscilla the Queen of the Dessert and Burn the Floor were free of charged. You just have to be a little early if you want to get on a good seating while the Zambooka needs reservations.
    Our flight to Rome, was nice too. We stayed there for two days then went to the port. Please do not try walking on your own bec at first that’s what the guy from our hotel told us that we’re staying at said to us that it’s only 15 mins walked but turned around it wasn’t even walkable. We found out that there’s a shuttle bus you can take from the train station to the port. Costs only €2 pp. This is only if you’re in Rome. It’s quite an experienced. Another experienced we had of our flight was we took the Alitalia airlines. It was fine going to Rome but when coming back home, we discovered that they don’t operate anymore. Luckily we were at the airport early enough that the ticketing service was kind enough to get us on a diff plane bec he said that our Alitalia flight doesn’t exist anymore, lol.

    In flights from Brazil (about 11 hours long) they serve the same dinner, plus a sandwich in the half of the flight. The breakfast usually comes with a bread, cheese and some ham or turkey, and with some hot pastry.
    They usually sell cheaper tickets than AF or KLM.

Interesting effect on your camera lens as you were walking through the cabin,it looked as if your lens was cloudy--had a Twilight Zone thought--to have a flight with a normal cabin crew consist but as you walk through all the cabins,none of the crew can be found,as if all vanished into thin air,literally!

    Nice review. Could you consider flying Singapore Airlines from Frankfurt to JFK or SQ from Manchester to Houston on A350? Any class will surprise you on SQ! Talk about good cabin service and food!

      Thank you! I've been trying to fly them on that NYC-Frankfurt route... maybe soon!

      @@QFSAviation Great! Thanks for your reply. I really appreciate you taking the time to do so. I can't wait for you to experience SQ service. Someday you'll need to fly in one of their First Class suites on the A380. The service in all of their classes is just wonderful. Take care Quintin and have a nice weekend!

    please try Egyptair---perhaps the newest service from Washington Dulles to Cairo or vice versa

      LI Flyer that’s certainly a good option but DC to Cairo is the newer route, so when it’s safe to fly, I highly recommend DC-Cairo, but JFK-CAI is fine

    does anyone know how strict are with the luggage carry on size in alitalia for international flights? i have a huge issue finding a carry on that meet the standards of both star alliance members like Lufthansa and swiss... and those belong in the other one..like delta air france and alitalia...
