Old Salty Dog

For those who notice Kosherica groups shown on Walt's list for their cruise, check out the thread "Kosherica groups effect on dining" below. A participant gives a good explanation of this, including the fact that group sizes range from 25 to 150.

Just saw your list and see that Kosherica is listed for many cruises, including the one we are on (8/25/08 Noordam). Has anyone had any experience with this group on a cruise? We're concerned that the special food requirements may have some effect on the regular dining. So far I have not been able to determine the size of these groups.

We are booked with Vantage for their Sept. 17 on the Rhine & Moselle, and chose them over Grand Circle because of past favorable experiences with Vantage with more things included. However, when we booked in November we got one of the last 2 cabins available on all 4 of their July & Sept. trips. Grand Circle has numerous departures through the fall and we would have gone with them if Vantage was sold out completely. We've also travelled with GC numerous time on land trips.
