Any other Baltic Cruisers out there for 2010?

[OurDogCisco]

So, I'm trying to figure out this whole pre-cruise thing. At first I was going to stay a week in London by using my Marriott rewards. This way we'd get 2 of our flights on points and the hotel on points as well. So, I started looking into prices of things... So, this is where I need help. I found something called the London Pass that gives you admission to over 55 attractions: http://www.londonpass.com/prices.asp

 

Also, found something called the National Trust Pass: http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/main/w-vh/w-visits/w-visits-overseas_visitors/w-visits-overseas_visitors-touring_pass.htm This one doesn't seem as exciting as the London Pass.

 

None of the above include the London Eye which I found here for prices: http://www.londoneye.com/TicketsAndPrices/Flights/StandardFlight/Default.aspx They have fasttrack passes which I'd want to get but it is 27# and converted to a family of 4 to US dollars is about $160.

 

The London Pass is about $322 for a family of 4 for a 3 day pass. This doesn't include our train pass.

 

I'd hate to travel all that ways and not see London. So, I'm looking for tips for traveling with an 9 and 12 year old. I have no clue how much food costs. Are there any really good guide books out there?

 

Thanks, Tina
