Avalon Poetry 13 July 2006

[BryanSA]

Only 4 weeks to go before we head for the Black Sea!

It seems (from comments on this Board) that in addition to the "included" excursions there are a number of optional tours that can be taken. If that is the case, when can we expect to hear about them........only once on the boat?

Also, can we expect to hear ahead of the cruise what the anticipated arrival/departure times are for each stop?

Many thanks to all of you who add so much value to us future cruisers

Hi Bryan, We too will be on that cruise, only we get off in Budapest. Guess we'll meet at the Hilton. We [wife and I] don't have any concrete plans except the included tour and arranging to visit a near by concentration camp [i'll force myself to go]. Am doing research so will have ideas. Counting down. Larry

Bryan,

Are you taking the Grand Black Sea Cruise? We are on the Black Sea Discovery that leaves the US on July 20th and is the 2nd half of your cruise, embarking Sunday in Budapest. We did the Prague to Budapest portion in 2004 and loved it.

Once I started hearing on these boards about optional trips, I emailed our carrier (Amadeus) for the information. Hope you can do that too. Marlyne

Unberwoob it looks like I will be disembarking when you are embarking on the Poetry. Have a great trip. Larry

[BryanSA]

Yes, we are doing the full trip with three days in Prague and then all the way down to Bucharest. Have any of you heared anything about the optional tours?

[rundent]

Hi Bryan, Why don't you email me at rundent@optonline.net [hope this doesn't open up a world of spam!]. I'm thinking of lining up some private tours, etc. Larry

[unberwoob]

I don't know of any optional tours, but I'm sure they will have some in Budapest and possibly in Bucharest.
