New and have questions...

[JodiBB]

Hi everyone!!

This is my first posting here...my husband and I will be celebrating our 10 year anniversary on the Jewel for the Aug. 7, 2005 cruise to the Baltics (it's booked and everything!)...I am so excited and have some questions...

Does anyone have recommendations for shore excursions that we [I]cannot[/I] miss?

Has anyone done a bicycle excursion? How strenuous are they?

As far as dining options, I know our 2nd formal dinner we'll definitely partake in, but if we choose to miss the first one, what other dinner options would we have?

Any suggestions as what to [B] definitely [/B] pack?

Thanks in advance! It would be great to meet others here who will also be on that sailing...

Definitely book Red October for your two days in St. Petersburg. They were wonderful! Check out the Baltics section in the Ports of Call board. There are alot of suggestions there.

You dont have to skip or miss the dinning room because you are not in 'formal' dress for the 1st 'requested' formal evening. Just no 'tank tops' & 'shorts' [b]LOL ![/b]

Thanks for that! LOL Actually, I've heard there are other restaurants on the ship that are open-dining...where you're not restricted to the table you're assigned to...does anyone know about these??
