Had no problems using top CashBack payments normally very quick. Also use holiday extras through top CashBack for parking and airport lounge.

Force 5 forecast for tonight force 4 tomorrow

Now visited Olbia. Three things to do. 2 churches and museum. The museum is shut Monday and Tuesday we went Monday

Only saw one beggar but she got about a lot

Force 10 gale most of Sunday. Very quiet for a sea day. Fortunately we were unaffected. No one allowed on deck

Had an email today cancelling our pre booked excursion kefolonia highlights. No reason given.

Anyone know why.

Travel agent at Rotherham Parkgate refused to give my wife a brochure. He said the holidays could be booked but although the brochures were in stock they would not be put put until July ????

Oops we are flying from Manchester not East Midlands

We are on the same cruise flying from East Midlands. We usually book in three cases two normal size and one cabin size. You can pack a change of clothes for when you arrive in the small case. It is also handy at the end of the cruise as your luggage is collected in the early hours on the day you can use the small case for anything you need in the morning.

You can book in up to 3 cases each providing you don't exceed your total weight allowance.

You get your cases at the airport. Met a rep who will give you an envelope which will contain stickers and or a label for your cases with your cabin number on. Apply these to your cases and take them to your transfer coach. It is only a short trip to the ship. You will register and be shown to your cabin. Your cases will arrive sometime later.

Is it enchanting vistas you are sailing on.

Bad news I'm not taking my wallet so it should be pain free

A few tips we have picked up from cruise critic

Take some plastic suction hooks

Take an extension socket you will then only need one adapter

Travel hair straighteners

Take a small case in addition to your normal cases. You can book up to three cases into the hold providing you don't exceed the 20kg hold allowance. You can also take up to 7kg hand baggage. The small case is handy when you arrive as you can take a change of clothes instead of waiting for your cases to arrive. Also on the last night you have to put your cases out in the early hours so you can use the small case for whatever you need in the morning.

If you don't have an inclusive drinks package order a white rum and coke rather than a Bacardi and coke as it is slightly cheaper.

Ignore the reviews enjoy yourself. I or my wife will give you our tips later

Ign

Yes deck 4. Is this your first time cruise

They are available as soon as you arrive on board your cases may take a while to arrive. We enjoyed the outside plus cabin midships we booked it on our next cruise on the majesty.

Nor me

I guess no one has been here or nothing to do here

Any ideas of what to in Olbia. We have been here before in October and went on ships trip with the promise of some shopping. Unfortunately being October most of the shops were shut as the season had finished the previous month.

Visa required if the visit is 72hrs or longer. Not required for day visits if you have a British citizen passport

There is usually a port showcase on the day at sea. When you get info on the ports and what shore excursions are available

If you've not been to Dalaman before on the way back you go through security twice before and after checking in your cases.

We used the people mover in Venice and then bought an all day ticket for the water bus. Saw most of the sights and ended up a stop called lido which turned out to be a nice beach. Had a nice ice cream there for 1 Euro each

We sailed on the spirit June 15th. They had a sail away party and a deck party later in the week which was relocated to a lounge due to the weather.

You can select a cabin for 42 pounds
