Thank you

Hello. I was thinking of taking Windstar from Barbados but I think I’m outpriced. Are there any major cruise lines that leave from any Caribbean island? Thanks

Thanks. We’re thinking we might stay on 2 different islands next year and postpone the cruise until another time. I appreciate the suggestions and will keep them for later.

Thank you. I’m looking at Wind Star if the price works. They didn’t seem to require bundling the air. Are they a good brand? We’ve never cruised before.

Yes, I looked at Royal Caribbean and Seabourne though I’m open to any. Clipper is the only one that had pricing and if I’m reading that right at $7000 per person it’s way out of our price range. I want to stay on Barbados and then cruise from there, and want St Lucia to be a port of call. There’s a long list on cruise critic of cruises that sail where I want to go, but none seem like they are actually happening. I am open to starting from other islands than Barbados but want to start or end in Carribean. Open jaw to Miami would be ideal. here’s the link I used: https://www.tripadvisor.com/ExternalLinkInterstitial?redirectTo=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cruisecritic.co.uk%2Fsmart-deals%2Fdepartureport-24%2F%3Fsupdev%3Dc%26taparam%3DECCGoogleUK_Kkwd-312021232056_A143811289837%26source%3D133422%26suprnd%3D18194636316512408958%26supap2%3D143811289837%26supmob%3Dkwd-312021232056%26gclid%3DEAIaIQobChMI3M6IsNPA_gIVjNLtCh3vuQveEAAYAiAAEgKP6_D_BwE%26suppressTabs%3D1%26supai%3D636725749101%26gad%3D1%26supap1%3D19004718714%26hiddenVendorIds%3D44%252C21-9-24%26supsn%3Ds

Hello. We’re considering taking a Carribean cruise that leaves from Barbados, in Feb, March or April 2024. I see cruises but they all say no pricing available. And the itinerary doesn’t come up when I click on it. Don’t cruises usually have their information for next year already available? Thanks.

Thanks. If we have to pay for good coffee, bottled water, etc, might be better to do the plus plan.

Thank you. Are you saying juice, coffee, soda etc is not covered by the standard plan?

Hello. I’ve never been on a cruise before but my husband and I are considering taking the Enchanted Princess 10 day Carribean cruise next February. What is the difference between standard package and plus? It looks like it would be $1200 more for 2 people for the plus plan. Is that really worth it? We would want wi-fi for both of our phones, and might average 2 drinks each day for each of us. And I guess tips are included in the plus plan. How do we figure how much extra that would cost us if we don’t take the plus plan? Thanks.

Thanks. Yes, was thinking 2 weeks driving around southern France, 5-6 nights in Barcelona and then fly to Athens to take a cruise. That’s why the cruise from Barcelona to Athens was so appealing. It would get me where I want to be and avoid an extra flight. The cruise timetable is very helpful, helping me clarify what is available.

That’s a reasonable question. We’re trying to combine this with a two week trip to France, and also had some interest in seeing Barcelona, so when I saw that open jaw cruise, I thought we could combine it all. I’m beginning to think that’s not a good idea, though, and we should dedicate a separate trip to the Greek islands. I’m interested in the comment that I shouldn’t expect fabulous beaches, isn’t that one of the things Greece is famous for? Perhaps not? Are you saying that the beaches in Greece really aren’t that great compared to let’s say Hawaii? Interesting.

We were thinking of 2nd or 3rd week of September for this cruise to Greece, is this too late in the season? Looking for still warm weather, and chance to swim at some of the beaches.

Thank you, that website sounds very helpful.

Thank you. No we have no desire to cruise in November and yes, it’s a one way cruise Barcelona to Athens, stopping at Santorini, Mykonos, etc. So if it’s a position cruise it’s an early leg of a longer cruise? Something to get the boat where it needs to be? Would that be why it has just one random date in a year? It sounds like it isn’t a common route, and I should focus more on the more common routes. Too bad, I liked the idea of seeing both Barcelona and Greece. . Thanks.

Hello. I’ve never been on a cruise before but we are thinking of taking a cruise of the Greek Islands. Maybe 7-9 nights. I don’t really know where to start. Are there particular cruise lines that are best for this area? We want something mid-range. We saw one cruise on Royal Caribbean which left from Barcelona and visited several ports in Greece, which looked perfect because we have some interest in seeing Barcelona as well. But they only list one date, in early November. Is that typical that cruise lines only have one date for a particular cruise in a calendar year? Thanks so much for the assistance.
