Thanks for the reviews. I thought in Rick Steve's book you could walk into town in Riga but maybe I am confusing Tallinn.

I can't believe on the formal you could wear jeans - I just talked my husband into bringing dress pants - no jacket - shirt and tie. We normally always do the specialty dining on the formal night and would like to see if I am missing anything :) Not telling him.

Thanks for the information. I am going on 7/26 on a 13 day tour and can not wait to ready your posts on the ports. Sorry to hear on mdr since that is what I have. Hopefully it will get better. I have done reservations for some days and did book the Italian restaurant.

How was your weather?

Thanks

Thank you

Hi, I wanted to know should I buy my ticket for Flygbussarna on line or do they have a manned booth. I will want to pay by credit card and wondering if I have a problem but will have some SEK as well. It seems to be about 25.00 for two one way. Where will I find them when I leave the Arlanda airport. Thanks, Briody

Great - I would have been so sad if I didn't.

Thanks. So for the airport to hotel it seems Flygbussarna is the best but is by destination for Central Station - Cityterminalen the same?

On the travel card how much is a bus ride, subway ride and a ferry ride so I know how much to put on it. Do you do this at the airport.

I like the ferry ride for going to the ship but do you think the bus I will see more.

My budget is not bad but don't want to waste it on taxis rather use it for other items.

I am on the Serenade of the Seas in July 2015. Does anyone know what port that is and when we sail out will we be sailing by the Archipelago Islands when we leave - I hope so

Thanks

Thank you so much for the information. I am on Serenade of the Seas and I can get on 7/26 and we are docked for two days. We leave 7/27.

I am arriving at the airport on Saturday around 12.

I will be staying at the Sheridan, which I believe the train station is very close. What would I take at the airport to get to this hotel? I thought I should buy the pass for three days. I was going to take a wakling tour of Gamla Stan, eat and bed. Sunday I can get on my ship but I thought I would do Vasa Museum first - I am guessing take a train there or do you suggest walking over to Nybroplan and taking a boat. Then I would head back to the hotel and to the port - not sure how to do that yet .

The next day I thought I would head over to City Hall maybe walk a little more in Gamla Stan.

Any suggestions? I leave that day around 4. Also you probably have addressed transportation issues many times and I thank you.

Thank you

Thank you for your help. Do the taxis run on Sunday the day I have to go to the airport.

So would you say Ribe or the castle?

Thanks

Is Ribe in the same direction as the castle?

Thanks

Hello Danish viking,

I booked the Admiral Hotel and I am leaving on a Sunday to go to the airport. I can get a taxi from the hotel on this day - right?

Looking for a good restaurant by the hotel for dinner - not too expensive - for my last night - any suggestions.

Also any must haves on souvenirs?

Thanks for your help

Briody

Thanks everyone. I think I may rest that day. Also I don't mind walking at all. I guess I don't find out till closer where they dock. I haven't decided on a hotel but have picked some and hope the next day they can keep my bags and I go the Museum before I board the ship.

Just love cruise critic - thanks again. Briody

I am just starting all my research for my July 15 cruise. Does anyone know what port Royal Caribbean docks in Stockholm? So far I was planning on coming in a day ahead and staying close to Old Town. Next day I would do Vasa Museum - can I walk from Old Town or take the boat? Also how would I get to the cruise terminal - can I get their by boat and bring my luggage - would only be a carry on .

St Petersburg - going to do the 2 day tour with SPB but I am still there an extra day - not sure what to do - do a cruise tour for shopping? Or just relax - any suggestions.

Thanks

Briody:)

I know I am coming a terrible weekend 10/18 to 10/20 - then start the cruise. I got reservations at Hotel Langham on Franklin Street.

Thanks for the warning :)

Thanks SailBadtheSinner - wow!

Thanks for all your suggestions - guess I better do a better job on proofreading or

How do you know I can't walk on water:rolleyes:

Hi,

I am going on Royal Caribbean in October and here are my plans(very rough) - any suggestions would be wonderful

Boston - arriving 2 days before. Friday night - North End for dinner and bed. Saturday thinking of doing the free walking tours - maybe North End and Freedom Trail. Then just wander around the markets and shops. Not much planned here.

Halifax- will do the Halifax Cruise Ship Tours found on trip advisor for about 4-5 hours. Then not sure - go to the town - walk around. Heard I should go to Alexander's Keith Brewery - is that close to the port.

St John - going to rent a car. Will have a GPS but will have to get addresses for where to go.

Bar Harbor - Acadia National Park Tours. Then the town. Any suggestions

Portland - City & Lighthouse Tour and then town.

So the big question is the towns - I can walk around from the ship - right?

What are must sees in the town? Where can I get the best lobster roll and clams.

Thanks

Briody
