I am interested in purchasing the soda package. I understand that it doesn't include canned soda only soda from the fountain. However i have never seen Coke Zero as a fountain soda. Is that true on the Regal Princess or any Princess ship? On RCCLS the only canned soda they provided with their soda package was Coke Zero.

Thank you,

Heather, you really covered it all in your review. I ,too was on the Regatta with all of you. I am on a quest for someone on the cruise. Her name is Lauren and she is from NJ and what makes her stand out is that she cruised with her friend Judy who sold her beautiful semi-precious jewelry in one of the shops. Did anyone buy anything from Judy and possibly got her email? Or maybe you met Lauren. My email is vlampach at gmail dot com If anyone can help me I would really appreciate it.

Thank you,

Viviane

I just returned from the Athens to Venice cruise and used private tour guides in several ports including Sarande, Albania. I wouldn't suggest trying to do Sarande via cab on your own as the poverty and poor infastructure is extreme. For a tour of Butrint I contacted a travel agency in Tirana (sales@albania-holidays.com) that provided us with a reliable guide and taxi for our time in port. I must advise you that we paid in full (u.s. dollars) to the travel agent at the time of booking. If you want to deal directly with the guide Luisi (knowledgable and personable) he can be contacted at (financer22002@yahoo.com). We also had private drivers/tours in Kusadasi/Ephesus and Crete/Knossos/Heraklion.

If you have questions then please post them to this board.

I sent an email to Luisi asking for availability. However I would like to know how long you used his services and how much you paid although I realize you paid the agency and he got a cut or vice versa but I need to know what is reasonable. What was your itinerary? Thank you so much for all your help.
