Check out the Orient beach in St Maartin. Its clothing optional but a very nice beach. Taxie van is about $7 each in a full van which it always is.

If you have the time to spend for a pre or a post cruise trip, set it up yourself or through the your agent. That is what we have always done and love it. The prefabricated cruise options are too restrictive and expensive. You have much more latitude as far as your flights go as well.

Adult woman walking down hall, cleaning out her snot with no hankie and then rubbing her hand on banister. I wonder how often that goes on?

We are staying at The Mercer Dolphin Hotel on High St. the night before the cruise Reasonable rate, near the dock, 4 stars. Nice enough to meet our needs

I love the glass elevators on Reflection.

I use to love to bring home wine and Appleton Estate Rum for gifts. But now, I can find just about anything I want in the US and usually at the same price. So I just don't find it special or worth while anymore.

Once we at an airport pulling our luggage to check A nice and despondent looking young couple walked up to us with a bottle of rum offering it to me. They said they had purchased it out of the airport at a 'duty free' shop to give as a gift at home. After checking in their bags,before going through security, they realized they had the bottle in their carry on. I really felt bad for their plight and offered to reimburse the because I am a rum drinker. They could have found that rum in any store at home

So anyway, I don't shop for bevs on cruises.

So just whom comprises these masses in ports? I say send them all to Finland so I can enjoy my beach and sidewalk.

JUNE 17 to Canary's

My wife and I flew into Rome and took the train to Venice for our Eastern Media cruise. It was quite relaxing and interesting for us. Give yourself 2 to 3 days to enjoy Venice right. Otherwise, Venice is the airport you should target.

Does anyone know of a good way to transfer from Heathrow to Southampton?

Mukluks are Eskimo boots.

Thanks for that correction Kamloops. I plead deafness and bad memory.

My wife went to Alaska knowing what she was going to buy once we were there. Buchaluk. Im not sure of the spelling . Those are the fury boots worn by the indigenous people. And they aren't cheap.

We hated the Coral P. Boring, needed refurbishing ,forget being entertained, it didn't help that there was little calling or whales

We cruised out of Barcelona on Diadema to rance and

Italy and loved the ship. It sparkels. Food was nice with an international flare and the shows were professional. Language was not a problem at all. I will do it again in heartbeat.

I like the higher cabins so I can see the stars.

How can you see the stars the way the light up the ship at night

How about if it is a non stop flight and you get in 6 hours before sailing time?

Bring kids.

It can also depend on weather or nor you visit casinos

$100 per stop for pocket spending usually works for us.

Are there any ships that have private top decks where someone can sunbath in the buff? I was on Costa and they offered this with a surcharge but is that option offered on any others.

I have been to some Greek beaches.

I believe that the cruise lines themselves made changes that require a valid passport or ship pass to board their ship. The requirement is usually addressed on that cruises site

Wouldn't it be easier for you to just not open the thread than to open it and then repeatedly complain that it should be closed? :confused:

Repeatedly complain?

I don't know where you got that from. I made one comment before you started suggesting what you think I should say do, or think.

OK. You win. Rant on if you choose. Enjoy your cruise.

What post do you mean or if you mean the whole thread? That is for the Host to decide.

Yes. I mean the thread. Thank you for the correction; but as you can well see, it is not closed do to the very reason you stipulated. However, I do have the right to express my view that it has run its' course.

:D

It's time to close this post

We are getting into Heathrow at about 10 am on June 23 fora June 24 cruise and would like to book a hotel in Southampton for that night. Does anyone know how or if there are transfer offered for this besides a taxi? Maybe through RCL?

its 65 miles.

Thanks

I don't know where you heard that drinks in the casino are free.But I almost live in the casinos when I cruise and have always had to turn over my card and I am a heavy better. More to you if you can do that.
