Definitely not as stressful as @Georgia_Peaches.    Here's was a nail biter.   

We have a day room at the Hyatt DFW and just sitting around wasting time.   Shortly we are going down to get a $20 hamburger...

 

 

That was a nail biter too. It was great how everybody pitched in to help.

We will be stopping at two ports in France on upcoming May cruise. Are you allowed to bring back banquettes and croissants to the ship?

Will you please let me know what you did and saw?  We like to hire drivers and go on our own. We are going there in 2024 for one day with the cruise line.

Thanks, Paula

This year will be our first visit to Zadar and we are doing a tour the the Krka Waterfalls. also going to be there next year not sure what we will do then. I would like to do Plitvice National Park if I can find a tour that will fit in our time frame.

We will be in Split from 9AM to 9 PM next month.  I definitely want to visit Diocletian's Palace.  I'm also interested in Krka National Park.  The cruiseline offers a 5 hour excursion to Krka which leaves at either 10AM or 2PM.  I believe we have plenty of time to do both the palace and Krka.  I'm wondering if it makes more sense to do the palace in the morning and take the 2PM excursion to Krka. Or, go to Krka at 10 AM and then go to the palace when we return.  Also, I was looking for hours for the palace and it appears to be open 24 hours.  Are there parts (eg the cellar) that are not open 24 hours? If there are museums that we should see that will close at 5, then I would opt for the 2PM excursion.   I'm open to suggestions if there are other things we should be doing in Split.  

We love the Krka waterfalls. We did a longer tour which included a boat ride and lunch. I would go there first, then you can do palace and walk around the area.

I have not been on royal Caribbean but I have done many Celebrity. Four adults in one balcony cabin for me would be a little squishy, they are just under 200 ft.². One thing you might want to think about is getting a family veranda cabin they actually have two bedrooms. One large bedroom with a king size bed A smaller bedroom with two bunkbeds and a pull out couch it is very large has a dining room and a large balcony as well and they are cheaper and larger then suites. I have stayed in them they are fantastic!

They would.

I agree, we snagged one of those on Baltic cruise and it was great! Good luck those usuall go very fast.

My sister is considering joining us on a Greek Isles cruise in 2024 and I would like input from those of you that have stayed in these cabins.

Can you tell how excited we all are to follow along on this amazing adventure. We love Amsterdam and look forward to hearing of all the things you will do. Safe travels.

Good news, unless you are talking suites, the overhead lockers remain in the cabins after the revolution. In fact, excluding suites, everything remains except for the "soft" furnishings and general colour scheme. No new electrics, no usb points, no power by the beds, no shower cubicles. New mattresses (very comfy).

Perhaps you should give your DH the choice of: storing things under the bed or in the overhead lockers and see which he prefers. 

So happy they kept overhead storage.

Croatia is now on the Euro.

We have always folded our tees and polo type shirts and they fit very nicely. Hadn’t thought about using the folded bins. We love that overhead space. Unfortunately when they revolutionized the cabins they will disappear, big mistake!

It might be too early depending on date of your cruise. Having been there on cruise ship before, there’s a lot you can do without a tour. Most things are very close and within walking distance depending on your mobility. The trolley also stops very close to pier.

Thank you .

I made reservation for most nights in MDR and did not see anywhere to request table size. Should I go to MDR embarkation day to make that request?

We were on Eclipse last September, we just loved her. I was happy she hadn’t been revolutionized yet. We recently sailed on Crown Princess and definitely didn’t like the way the ship was set up. No really good public spaces and a lot of dead ends. You will love the Sky Lounge and Solarium pool area.we find her to be a beautiful ship . Enjoy!

For my upcoming cruise luggage. Tags available to print exactly 30 days out.

After reading several accounts of crown issues through the years we also now travel with a OVC kit too.  Until reading about them on CC I had no idea they existed.  Amazing what you learn on this community.

What is OVC?

I can’t decide which hotel to stay at in Barcelona, Hotel Pulitzer or Hotel Jazz?

Thank you

Which ships require reservations for entertainment. Our June 2024 cruise will be our first with NCL.

Thank you all.

I have already checked in for my May 2 cruise but still says luggage tags pending. When should they be available?

Has anyone used a Taxi  to and from Taranto to Alberobello? Would I need to reserve in advance?

Dubrovnik is one of our favorite ports. It is easy to do on your own unless you prefer to take a tour. You can walk the the wall and stroll thru the town, no need for tour. Another favorite activity we like is to go to the Buza Bar on the outside of the wall . It is terraced on a cliff with spectacular views especially at sunset. You can also take a boat to Cavtat and enjoy lunch at one of the oceanfront cafes.  Rick Steve’s Dubrovnik guide also has a lot of information . We hope you enjoy!

Thank you all so much.

Unable to find info on spreadsheet, so asking her if anyone knows bed location on Concstellation cabins 8078,8082 and 8084?
