Yeah global entry was down apparently today. That’s why the line was so long they said. I got up once to get another wine. The FA looked annoyed that I came behind her curtain. Umm I’ve seen you go in the bathroom 20 times with your cell phone… hush. 😆

Women Talking was about the Amish. I find them fascinating.  

First of all the FA on some flights just hide. On my very long haul from Japan they were good but when most were sleeping I was doing movies so I went up several time for water and ir bathroom. I drink a huge amount of water  so huge amount of trips. They get lazy about drinks. Also afraid to wake people.

I like Amish but the picture was hard to read the two lines .

I saw a Man called Otto. Tom Hanks..slow but good.

Been years I have flown coach. Never on BA.I would stave.I sometimes bring food on plane. 
 

BA even up,front forgets to feed you.I have used that call button many times for water. Or I get up,to get some so I can move.

oh global entry’ grest. Took me years but got it finally.

inwould hate that woman movie.I watch movies on plane

Ran into to Winston Churchill on the way to Big Ben. The London Eye was there too. If I don’t have time for prayer service, I definitely don’t have time to ride the Eye. Something tells me food will be necessary soon. 

Eye was great. I had tickets before I got there .

Yes, I’m not sure how people fly in the day of the cruise and fly out right after. Or why they would want to. I’ve had times where I thought I was adjusted, then boom, exhausted again. The over indulging and massive amounts of walking are a lot of it. 

I would be freaking I miss ship if one plane was late. Friend missed a flight on way to Europe before you left Greece. She had to stand in line to get new tickets.

my return flight from  BCN is to early  for me so staying a day. Friend chancing it, we do not overnight and the docking And leaving to much for me,

cruise again from Athens ..arrive at night.snack,drink and bed.

Onward has US (110v),EU (220v) and UK sockets plus USBs under the bedside lights

Depends on the cabin. The big suites are missing thrm by the bed. I was given a long term loan and still need it this winter.

I was on another line.but I would not walk anywhere alone. I was on private tour,ship tour or shuttle one day. 
 

Capetown is very safe And  go to Robbins Island on your own,And Table Mt wines you need a good tour.ships are not long enough.

@MeganGC1983....I will be interested to read in your wrap up after you are home and rested your opinion of overseas travel for a 7 day cruise.  I would think that a longer cruise of B2B might be warranted if one is going thru all the trouble like you did to fly from USA to across the pond...your 7 day cruise seemed to FLY by!

I have never flown to europe for less than two weeks. Friends have. Personally I lose a day adjusting to time difference. I love extra time in each city.yes, it depends on what you afford..time if work,hotels etc. I am join VV in BCN in July. I am flying to Madrid.Booked museums  and palace. Plus two dinners. My friend flying in the day before And will be a jet lagged party girl on ship. We both booked tours ..I toss in a private plus a VV one. 

Been only to where the guests did hands on and then we ate.

been to beach here but not windmills.

will add that in this sept

don't get too attached to that schedule, as it 100% will change in the weeks leading up to your voyage, as well as once you actually get on the ship!

I know but it does give ideas of what to see ..like music.

Thank you! I wish they showed the showtimes (even though you can't book them yet) just for planning purposes with making dinner reservations, etc.

I am going in July and I can see the show times that you can book on board..hat how I knew 7 and930.

Where did you eat saganaki and mousaka that you weren't thrilled with?

Think that was Santorini. I skip some of the bars for food as back in sept

You need to get on the time. Either stay up and power through the day, or try to sleep until time to leave. Enjoy your cruise! Your thread is Awesome! 😎

Done both!but I always have time in each city to see things

Why?  They are sailing from mid July. The ships through its sea trials 

They were sailing B2B from BCN to London. I git notice two weeks after I booked cancel. My bday is early July,These were Spanish and French ports either never been or went once. My agent might know the ports. 
 

I settle for a 2024 Azamara cruise and an Explora Carribbean cruise.

yet to look at second ship as I do not want to winter in Carribbean.

I definitely plan to see a lot! It’s a marathon, not a sprint. As far as “before drinking”, I can’t make too many promises, but I’m pretty functional and highly motivated. 😉

Just now, MeganGC1983 said:

Glad to have you! 

Just for hiking up to the sites..I almost fell..wrong shoes. Did drink in afternoon.but I was sober to climb.  What are your ports and times..might hsve ideas. Going in sept  another line 

Third review of yours I read. 
please see Greece  before lots of drinking..history is mind blowing. Night life great.

going ba k to Greece but in sept.oh the heat unreal

Thanks, but I wonder how realistic that is. Exora is not offering cruises for July in its web page. 

Ivi

My July cruises were cancel ages ago right after I booked.I would wait a while.

No. I do not know who she is. I knew a Tanya Roberts who was an actress but she passed away.

Ivi

She worked as ACD on Azamara. I knew her from Quest but she worked Pursuit also. She just took a job with Explora.
