We bring it on by the case with the checked bags. If you bring the "free" bottles into the DR, you may be charged the $15.

Hi how does that work? Doesn't the wine in your checked bag still get charged?? Don't the bags get held up?

Hi all, I'm a first time cruiser and confused about the most cost effective and best way to stay in touch on such a huge ship (we are travelling on the Regal Princess next August - Baltics) and also whether getting mobile roaming is worthwhile given the cost.

Usually when I travel I purchase a pre paid SIM card in the country I am travelling in and use free wifi wherever possible to save on data, but I'm not sure that's possible due to the satellite wifi they use on the ships.

Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance :)

Hello there, I am a first time cruiser and will be travelling next Aug-Sep from Copenhagen around the Baltics with my 83 year old mother and 8 year old daughter, We are on a budget and would like where possible to avoid the seemingly pricey port excursions offered through the cruise line.

Given we only have 10-12 hours in port at most stops, my priority is to see the 'sights' without exhausting my mum or daughter and draining our bank accounts, as well as getting back to the ship in time.

Does anyone have any tried and tested methods for going it alone on shore excursions? We will be visiting Oslo, Rostock, Tallinn, St Petersburg, Helsinki and Stockholm. St Petersburg is the only stop I am planning to purchase a ship offered tour. Thanks in advance! :)
