That is a really tough one. I have voted Adriatic Explorer simply because I absolutley loved it, the best I have done yet, although I would love to do the other two. Not an easy one. Results should be interesting.

Mmmmm! ooh er! I'll have to think about this one :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Don't think you've clicked vote Little Nell ;)

Thought about it! It had to be Adriatic Explorer:)

 

Black Sea is appealing, but would prefer the old itinerary they did on Calypso:rolleyes:

 

I have been to the Baltic on the Jewel of the Seas - thoroughly enjoyed it, but went right in to Copenhagen. Also went to Amsterdam on Braemar, but again went right up the river to Amsterdam as she is a small ship. Fabulous sail out :) But not as fabulous as Venice - so Adriatic it is :D:D

I'm still thinking :confused:.

I have not done any of the cruises :( so obviously cannot vote, but hoping to do the Baltic one next year :D

[Little Nell]

:D Good spot there kalos!

 

Don't think you've clicked vote Little Nell ;)

 

Cheers, Sailaway and Kalos. I don't even have the excuse of it being late for that mistake :eek::confused:

After a lot of thought I've decided to go with the Baltic.

I don't know if I should have chosen one of the others because I have already done them so must have liked them more to choose them first, but I didn't dare go across the North Sea until I had medication sorted for my sea-sickness.

Anyway I thought if I could choose any and hadn't been on them before I would go for the 2 weeks. More holiday and better atmosphere on 2 week cruises.:D

Ooops! I went on a bit there, didn't I :eek::eek::D.

Well - the big hitters clinched it for me! Adriatic Explorer port for port takes some beating. BUT......... it's like comparing apples and pears. They all have their appeal .......... and I'd be delighted to be doing any of them! ;)

I agree with you there. It reminds you why you like to cruise.........such fabulous destinations to choose from.

No contest! Adriatic for me. Have done all 3, and loved all of them, but adriatic has the favourite ports AND the favourite embarkation port.

Adriatic Explorer winning by a considerable amount! Will it be knocked off the top spot? Remember, voting ends on Friday.

[Sailaway487]

Looks like Adriatic Explorer will most definitely be the winner. Remember, votes close tomorrow afternoon. Itinerary Challenge 7 will be uploaded tomorrow, and will be slightly different... ;)

[happy v]

Oooo, can't wait:rolleyes::D.

[Sailaway487]

Oooo, can't wait:rolleyes::D.

 

I know, exciting isn't it! :rolleyes:

 

Perhaps I might be bigging it up a little bit. ;)

[Sailaway487]

Voting is now closed!

 

And the results are:

 

Adriatic Explorer 2012 = 81.25%

Baltic Discovery 2013 = 12.50%

Crimean Discovery 2013 = 6.25%

 

And the winner is Adriatic Explorer 2012. Definitely a worthy winner, and in my opinion, the best itinerary that Thomson operate.
