The Segway tour in San Juan for sure. You can book direct much cheaper and it is located about a block from getting off the ship.

Thanks, after several attempts I finally got it to work.

So they can make a fast get away.

You can ride the trolley to the other end of the island right through the outdoor vendors and not be bothered by them.

We did a private tour bus company in Rome (there are 4-5 of them) but they are crowded. You can get on and off. Search tour excursions for any other ports you will be in. If you are interested I have 2 travel guides-Let's go Europe and Rick Steves' Europe through the back door. Both have a wealth of info. Give me your email and I'll send info.

Was in an interior the end of Jan. and it did not have a fridge.

The cabin we had did have two outlets on the desk area which depending on what category you have they were not far from the bed.

Have any of them ever taken you up on it?

 

As best I can recall I don't think anyone asked for anything. Even so I think my simply asking might make them feel better. I certainly would have got whatever they may have needed (unless they asked for a scooter or the like).

I don't tip on the first day and usually only ask for ice and wine glasses. When we are going into a port I ask the steward if there is anything I can pick up for them. You never know what they might need or have run out of. I do tip on the last day.

Anyone have experience with getting on board in bad weather? We are supposed to board Sun. 1/24 morn. and forecasts are predicting 8-10" of snow Sat. and more Sun. We planned to get there Sat. but have changed that to Fri. But don't know what might happen at the port Sun. morn.

Always enjoy your reviews. Can you post if Trond Holm is the captain and will he be for the next sailing? He started rotation 11/6. I'll be getting on board when you get off. Leave it in good shape.

Several years ago on a Carribean cruise a few ladies bought straw hats but were not allowed to bring them on board because they were made from plants.

Can you give me the name of the tour operator for the Turtle Farm and trip to Hell please? I'll be there in Jan. Thanks.

If you are interested I have the travel guides from our Med. cruise in 2013. A wealth of info. dunaldo@infinitefx.com

Have info. you would like for the Mediterranean cruise. Email me: dunaldo@infinitefx.com

On our last cruise one night there wasn't anything on the dessert menu that appealed to me so I asked the waiter if I could get a pecan ball. I explained to him what it was- scope of vanilla ice cream with pecans and chocolate syrup. He said he would check. When he served the desserts I got what I had asked for except for walnuts instead of pecans but with a side bowl of extra walnuts. The next night I asked if I could get the same thing and he said yes the "Don" special. The following night I and another tablemate both ordered it and he said 2 "Don specials" only to be outdone the following night by everyone at the table requesting the "Don" special.

I have them for last fall. Anything specific I can look up for you?

Thanks, I just knew you would answer this ?

Can you carry it separate or does it have to be in a carry-on? Also can the 2 bottles be in one carry-on? Thanks.

DW and I went to Hawaii a couple days early for a POA cruise. Oct. this year. Sightseeing and shopping probably at an ABC store we picked out a couple things and went to check out. There were two women right behind us and as we got to the cash register I said we should get some of this Hawaiin money to take home for the kids. One lady said to the other, "That's a great idea, why don't we do that?"

Geeesh if you have to do all that I think I'd rather stay home.

Did not want to venture into that crowd even though my son wanted to. Watched on TV. Interesting though last Wed. was my sons birthday and we went to a Pittsburgh restaurant and Dan Bylsma was there w/wife and son. He went over to shake hands (he was wearing a Pens jersey) and Dan came over to our table after they were done and wished him a Happy Birthday and we took pictures of them. Really nice down to earth guy. He got his email address and is going to email him in a couple days to invite him out here for golf. BTW we in western Pa. don't claim Philadelphia as part of Pa. we say it belongs to New Jersey. When we were in Vancouver and watched the game against Chicago we rooted for the Canucks hoping for maybe a match up with us. Maybe next year.

Do you still need to ask what are "Pens"? Lord Stanley Cup Champions!

Well my sons (season ticket holders) hope it will be Detroit and we beat them decidedly to get the cup of course but also so Hossa doesn't get a ring because he defected to them to get one.

Had a great time in Vancouver and really appreciate all the help and advice from you guys. Did the Vancouver trolley, had dinner downtown and watched part of the hockey game (5/7) then back to the hotel and watched the end of the game at the Press Box on E. Hastings-sat beside the manager-Mitch. Sorry you lost-we actually cheered for you kinda hoping for a Canucks-Penquins final. Maybe next year then I can come to the Shark Club with my Pens jersey. My only regret with my stay there was that I should have had at least one more day.
