We like HAL, but prefer Princess. Take the cruise that gives YOU the most for your money- there’s not much difference.

I suggest doing Stonehenge while in England as a before or after hours tour. Nobody there but your little group, and you can book for sunrise/sunset(depending on time of year. Orkney is amazing, but you do need transportation.

Mine was messing up too.

We may have to postpone, but really hope to be able to sail. Our granddaughter’s 2 friends are going too- sort of a senior trip for the 3 of them. They are all going to different colleges ( one in Europe), so finding another date would be difficult. But we are well, so we have much to be thankful for.

We are hoping to sail on an Enchanted 7 night Med cruise in June. What are the chances we will be required to book ship’s excursions if we want to leave the ship? I have looked at what’s available, and they are very expensive- especially since we are visiting such small ports with nothing we want to see. We would cancel except for it being our granddaughter’s graduation trip. And if you wonder why we booked such a crummy cruise- we didn’t. This is one of the cruises that Princess changed to round trip Rome.

There can be noise from the outside tables at Alfredo’s. One night a group of very “happy” cruisers were celebrating a birthday, and the noise was quite loud until about 11. But that was the only night with any problems. Since “happy” cruisers can show up anywhere- in the hall, the elevators, a restaurant, the balconies around you- enjoy your balcony. We have booked 3 cruises with obstructed balconies in this area.

I feel much more hopeful about this actually sailing!

Thank you both! I really hope we get to see this in person.

Oh, that is beautiful! Where do the ships dock in relation to this camera view?

We have sailed into Sydney, but wasn’t sure about sailing out. I really appreciate the information. I just hope this is far enough out that we will be able to sail. Your picture is beautiful! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you both for the help. After much deliberation I booked Sapphire deck 10 starboard. These cruise bookings seem to be very active- I guess everyone needs to use FCCs.

Which side of the ship should we book if we are sailing out of Sydney. I’m looking at the Sapphire or Emerald- is one better than the other?

Thanks for the info.

What itinerary has this option? I’ve never seen it.

We flew in to Montreal, spent a couple of nights, and then took the bus to Quebec on our own. It worked well and we prebooked bus tickets so no worries there.
