  1. I was in Southern Spain last January. I generally needed a light jacket during the day and something heavier in the evening.
  2. I think they are all pretty much identical.
  3. In Freeport there is a small area near the port. Can't imagine that it will keep you occupied for long (unless you are hanging in Sr. Frongs)
  4. Historic district is walking distance. It is not small. You might think about walking to the city market and taking a horse and carriage tour.
  5. Plan your days. If you do not take the optional excursions, what will you during that time?
  6. We've been to Barcelona four times and La Sagrada is the only place we have gone all four times. Well, we did walk the Ramblas and go to the Market all four times.
  7. We just hoped on. There were maybe a dozen folks on the boat.
  8. Agree that Barcelona is great to explore on your own. Another option is the HOHO bus.
  9. I usually figure if you have to ask, its too close. I am risk averse and would rather be waiting on line at the port than worrying that my flight is an hour late.
  10. Most of my pictures are from more tourist things. Here is a picture from Versailles that is zoomed in and a fast shutter speed.
  11. If you've already been to Amalfi, why not give Positano a shot Med Cruise 22 (shutterfly.com)
  12. When Hank says "very hot" he means "very very very hot"
  13. Listen to the traffic report and be prepared to take whichever is better.
  14. For example, if two of you in the cabin book a $100 excursion, the first person gets charged $50 and the second pays $100;
  15. We went to Pompeii on our own and were glad that we hired a guide. The guide put a lot into perspective above what we could have got from a guide book. There is a lot there that just looks like ruins.
  16. We have been to Barcelona four times and we still have things on our list to see. Each time, we go to La Sagrada to see how much progress has been made. Also, not on the HOHO tour is the palau de la música.
  17. Recommend that you be on deck for sail away. The SOL will not be on the same side of the ship as the Manhattan sky line. You may have to get up early but the return trip up the Hudson is worth going out for.
  18. We recommend the 6 bridges cruise. There are a number of places and vendors where you can pick this up.
  19. One reason there is a continual flow of taxis is that they are coming to drop people off for the next cruise. Like a previous poster we saw taxis continually come into the port.
  20. We went on a tour. Don't remember the cost and it was a half day that included another stop
  21. We had a nice day at the beach. A couple of photos.
  22. My initial reaction is "Best of luck". There are some good tips here into how to improve your chances.
  23. I was on Epic in August and still had a great cruise.
