im thinking about a riverboat cruise but i like a more than a drink at happy hour can i bring a bottle of whiskey 

I cant seem to find much out thanks in advance for any help 

great answers thanks im sold and cant wait to book

thing of an arercan cruise but i do like more than a drink or two on vacation, I see they have a cocktail hour but thats about it . Do I bring my own or is this a sobering experience, please help we have found a couple of great cruises , but the booze thing is bit of an issue

ok thanks I will keep it in mind

We don't tend to spend a ton of time in the cabin maybe the question should be is cunard nicer than p&o excluding the cabins

I think I might know the answer to this but im gonna ask anyway. Our budget allows for a window on cunard or a balcony on P&O we will be on the ship for 3 and four weeks respectively and both are trans pacific crossings We are american but get along with brits well We are frequent cruisers but have never been on either line if it helps we prefer holland america usually HELP !!!!

I have sailed celebrity and didn't find it as nice as Holland America . I do prefer Holland to most every other of the standard lines unfortunately the don't offer a itinerary that meets our needs .I'm sure I will enjoy cunard but as we will be spending 47 days aboard I wanted to be sure thanks again all of you that answered me

Wow nice that helps a bunch thanks

Thanks puska I thought thAt was a great answer

No not at all in fact if I knew how to end the thread I would have done so a day or two ago I'm happy with the answers I got earlier this week and am much more interested in the weather .I would have un subcribed to the thread but felt it might be rude to not thank people for helpful replies. The overwhelming opinion was you won't be feel like your missing out on anything because you won't ever notice it to begin with . I only brought it up because I saw one review from one person who did feel some what second class but they may have a chip on there shoulder about most things . I'm a strong believer in cruise critic and find these boards very helpful and wouldn't waste my time trolling for a fight . I just thought the one answer was very dry and unhelpful and I have limited patience for that !

It may be factuly correct but the question was has anybody with experience on the line felt slighted in the past . So the baseball answer wasn't helpful and kinda dry . I do see you have been on the line so do you have an opinion ? Or perhaps you have had a grill suite in the past and would like to give give an opinion from the other side

Wow good answer ! Not !

Yea I agree but it's nice to hear about trends from folks with real world experience

awesome I get the point and once our weather concerns are put to rest

we can begin booking

The wife and I are more than considering 48 days of cruising between California and Australia . My last big sticking point is Ive heard it can often be rough between California and from Hawaii. I do understand anything can happen at anytime but it would be nice to know ahead of time if there are any trends, We are sailing February from California and back at the end of march. To this point our longest cruises have been 8 to 10 days in Alaska and mexico

thanks in advance for your help

Ok folks I'm convinced and thanks a bunch now tell me about the transpacific crossings as I will be doing it twice . For me it's not a huge concern I'm an ex avid sailed and fisherman . but here in California the seas are at their calmest in winter and I wouldn't have thought that the South Pacific was angriest in the summer so what's to skinny do I line the wife head to toe with patches or am I again over thinking it

Yea I'm not worried about getting something for free . I did however read a review where a couple felt slighted . I doubt I will have an issue but it's always better to ask . I can imagine walking by a place everyday for three and four weeks thinking well that would be nice . I just read the review where Mr knight mention how rough the Pacific gets , I have heard cruisers can expect a rough day or two between calfornia and hawaii but I can't say I would look forward to much more . am I worrying to much

Thanks that's helps

We are looking at 2 longer cruises on the queen Elizabeth and wont be able to indulge in a suite . Have past travelers felt slighted because the couldnt use all the bars and restaurants

I'm also a touch concerned about a Sydney accommodation for two weeks with air conditioning that works does anybody know if that is there high season for hotels or should we able to after a day or so wing it

Yea sad is it seems the red center in February is to far away and to hot as much as I would love to see it but it's not in the cards I'm thinking a side trip to Brisbane via coff harbour the maybe port Augusta The other way ?

I believe the ship to be the queen Elizabeth and I'm hoping the 2 week lay over will give us time to see the sights I'm thinking of of the train that goes North and South it visits alice springs and that big red rock (sorry I didn't want to spell it wrong ) beaches and bungee jumping won't be on the list . next job is a weather check for Feb. and March the see if vacinations are needed for Tonga and Samoa .

Thanks for the info on sea conditions and I've been going blind trying to mix and match .I did find a two canard cruises that if conected would give us 14 days in Australia and go febuary throu March . it's the same price as the 80 day HAL BUT is 64 days total cruise #q707 and q708 . any body out there like canard we can afford grill rooms but deluxe inside mid ship low is doable

Yea I never saw that one thanks

That's a good option let me look it up thanks
