LvnCruisin

We are Diamond members with Hilton and our last cruise in 2022 to Venice we got the points for the stay, we added a couple of days as well but all three days counted.

Let's just hope it doesn't come to this:

We have been on many cruises where we turned tickets back in as we found something else that we really wanted to do, based off of what someone on the ship said to us or we were simply tired from travel or the day before etc. Tickets seem to can be readily available the day of. But put your name in for excursions when you get on the ship at destinations services. In the long run it's the vacation that always mattered to us.

From whay I saw it was completely accessible. The busses pulled directly in front of the terminal. We had been to Venice several times so would have liked to have tried to go directly into Trieste, I do remember several people on our ship who said that is what they did. They stayed in Trieste and did private transfers. This was 18 months ago so not sure if you can still do that, but I would be checking into it.

Yes, we sailed out of Trieste a couple of years ago. The OP was talking about transferring to Trieste not to the terminal in Venice.

We did a bus from Venice to Trieste. We have already decided that if we go out of Trieste again we will just fly in there - 4 less hours at the airport in Frankfort (we had a 9 hour layover there) and 2 less hours on a bus the next day.

Ok, I've tried searching how many shares do I need and what will I get from them, meeting with our financial advisor soon. Realy would like to invest.

Personally I will not waste my dollars on another massage until they have a different provider. On our last cruise I booked a couples massage (prior to the cruise) for my dh and myself - I made it very clear that I could not have a deep tissue massage because of a back injury. I reiterated it prior to the massage, I eventually stopped the massage after several times explaining that they were hurting me. When I left the spa they actually had the nerve to ask for a larger tip. I was a fan when it was Canyon Ranch, but don't like the newer company.

My husband did this with Hilton on our last cruise out of Venice. We are diamond level and he called the diamond desk who called the hotel to make sure it was all on record. And while Regent is paying them, we paid Regent.

I am usually one who will wear leggings with a long sweater, knee length or below. Sometimes a dress at night. The only time I had issues with someone else's attire was our last cruise in the med, we had an "older" (75+ ish) who came to breakfast every single morning in see throug white leggings. The first couple of mornings my husband and I thought well maybe she doesn't know, but then it was quickly look away and try not to sit where she sat. I guess I take the attitude of to each their own.

That was my bad, we had booked a Penthouse and ended up with an upgrade to an Explorere Suite - probably why we got all 3 brands. Sorry for the misinformation.

We were on in May of last year - there were three different types - used every single one of them!, Bulgari, Guerlain & L'Occitane. And then there were the bath salts (do not remember what kind they were but they were amazing!

The first cruise I ever took was a Regent med cruise from Monte Carlo to Rome. We flew into France (spent a day there) and then took the train to the ship. Thouroughly enjoyed the cruise then a week in Rome. Could not have been a better experience for someone who had never been to Europe. It was enough to wet my appetite to go back and explore more later. The only cruise I have been on that I didn't enjoy was a river cruise. So honestly it is different strokes for different folks. Follow your heart on what you would like to get out of Europe, for an opener of course.

It really depends on where you are going.

We did a med cruise last spring, what I found interesting (from an IT perspective) was where our internet connection showed that we were connecting from, Florida! I can look to see who is connecting to our system and from where, during the 14 days I connected from Florida 12 of those days.
