whatcruiseisnext Posted March 4, 2011 #1 Share Posted March 4, 2011 We were thrilled to be able to look at the schedules for 2012 Europe with the link posted yesterday. Now we are trying to decide between the Baltic and the British Isles. We have already done the Med cruise and the Greek Isles cruise. can anyone help us out with pros and cons of each.

paul929207 Posted March 4, 2011 #3 Share Posted March 4, 2011 I have done both and preferred the British Isles, but then I love Ireland and Scotland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoreham01 Posted March 4, 2011 #4 Share Posted March 4, 2011 We too were wondering about the same cruises. I fancy the Baltic one but from what I can see the only one going out from Southampton is on July 7th which I fear may be school holidays therefore loads of kids. There are more dates to pick with the round Britain/Ireland ones and we have not been on the Caribbean Princess. We will wait to see what the UK prices will be. We also would love to go to Iceland but there only seems to be Princess cruises from Copenhagen to there and we don't want to fly. Hopefully I missed something, there don't seem that many going out of Southampton next year which is a shame as we live so close to there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
77Network Posted March 4, 2011 #5 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Is one of them blue? Cause I would go with the blue one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasperdo Posted March 4, 2011 #6 Share Posted March 4, 2011 I haven't been on either cruise yet, but I would definitely choose the Baltic Cruise. The reason is because it goes to a number of different countries and cultures. I especially am interested in going to St. Petersburg. I think it would be fascinating to visit Russia.

SUZCRUZ Posted March 5, 2011 #10 Share Posted March 5, 2011 We did it with RCCL during a solar eclipse. That was amazing. Loved loved Norway, Scotland, Ireland. Our favorite cruise to date!;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Embracedbylife Posted March 5, 2011 #11 Share Posted March 5, 2011 We did Scotland and Ireland on our own renting cars and it was awsome!! Then we took the Baltic cruise - really great. You can get to see so many countries on the Baltic cruise that are really spread out - fantastic. Our favorite port was Tallin, Estonia - it was great. But really ALL the the ports on the Baltic cruise were amazing. You'll love it. The best part of touring Ireland by yourself is getting to drive through the hills. My favorite part of renting a car in Ireland was driving along the coastline and taking my time exploring - awsome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovesatq Posted March 5, 2011 #13 Share Posted March 5, 2011 I did the British Isles cruise with Regents last year and absolutely loved it. It was my second time to the area and I don't think I'll ever get tired of Ireland and Scotland. My vote is for the British Isles but I prefer cooler weather.

whatcruiseisnext Posted March 5, 2011 Author #14 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Thanks for all your suggestions. I think this time we are going to combine a land tour on our own to Poland, Slovakia and the Czech Republic followed by a Baltic cruise. It will be the British Isles next time for us. This crusing is SO addicting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
granny49 Posted March 5, 2011 #15 Share Posted March 5, 2011 You won't be sorry. We did the Baltics in 2008 on the Crown. It was a fabulous cruise. So much history. St Petersburgh was awsome. One of my favorite cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sorr1996 Posted March 6, 2011 #16 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Thanks for the link of the new 2012 cruises. We are definitely going to do the British Isles. Now to pick the date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOUGLASH Posted March 7, 2011 #17 Share Posted March 7, 2011 dis the Baltics cruise a few years ago out of copenhagen which was amazing even though we hit some bad weather and skipped Helsinki. Do the itinirary that includes Oslo instead of Warenemude as its soo far away I hear from Berlin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
