I like the ALL INCLUSIVE so there is no nickel and diming - NO bill at end of cruise. BIG attraction is you can upgrade to Biz Class if you desire.

You are sailing with a few hundred well-traveled friendly folks instead of THOUSANDS on mega ships where you have to walk and walk to one end to the other!

HAPPY Anniversary!

Check with the Maitre'd every day and you probably will be able to get reservations - also duck in Prime 7 and Signatures to see if there is space if you're flexible on time and can share a table.

Standard Voyager cabins are about 50 sq ft larger than Mariner's but Voyager PH, as I recall, are only a few sq ft more than the standard cabin but PH has a better layout and probably has butler if that's important for you.

Depending on the price they offer it could be a good deal or not, weigh the pros ands cons and price.

You should ask your attendant if he or she can get lounges, but lower categories do not have large verandas.

Bon Voyage Sara and Gramps!

Have a WONDERFUL cruise with NO SNAGS!

Instead of "cute" how about "Hollywood Handsome?"

(NOT Boris Karloff!)

First and Last time "cute" was attached to me is when I was born. It didn't last long because my brat of a sister came along four years later and spoiled everything.

(I'm slowly getting over it!)

EVERY DAY should be Mother's Day!!!!! THEY DESERVE It!

I imagine any museum dedicated to Swedish Resistance would be rather small.

Your imagination is WRONG. The museum is very extensive covering all resistance.

Last time we docked in Stockholm several years ago we were almost adjacent to WW11 Resistance Museum - WELL WORTH visiting it!

Those of us who shower frequently while cruising towels are very close to us!

ALL others please set at another table, thank you.

GOOD idea to clean filter half way though drying cycle - it will load dry faster, thus save energy and even your life!

Here are some vinegar tips (I also use vinegar in some rinse cycles) http://www.vinegartips.com/Scripts/pageViewSec.asp?id=8

Can you recycle the vinegar water for non-fat salad dressing?

Lucky you!

Anyone else think a "luxury" cruise line should have towels that do not feel like "Brillo"pads?

They are good for back scratching but I'm used to soft towels. I realize they get washed MANY times = but so do mine at home. Shower at least once a day and many times during hot, humid conditions and they stay soft!

I have 100 percent cotton towels made in Turkey I bought at Lands End.

"Consumers Report" said towels with quality cotton and bamboo are a good combination.

Same hours of world wrestling matches!

I like a shower and always book a shower suite. The shower is smallish, it'd be VERY TIGHT for supersized folks!

I should have mentioned I was in E suite on Mariner, larger suites PH etc may well have larger showers.

ME BAD!

Even if they do not offer a tour on that day you have the secret pleasure of staying aboard while most folks have to get off!

ENJOY the ship and your other cruise!

LUCKY YOU!

Several years ago, on a family trip, we were unable to use Euros in most of these countries, but we might have been able to use US$ in some of those nations.

Otherwise get small amounts at ATMs in each nation, especially linked to your bank.

THE Money Changers have high rates and fees - BEWARE!

Probably the VERY BEST report I've ever read on this forum!

SUPER!

Well written and bursting with valuable and practical information.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

If a price drops my TA, a Regent expert, will get me the difference!

Has Wendy "wandered off?"

GOOD DECISION!!! !

I bet he'll wish he did not go BC both directions! But half a loaf is GREAT!!!!

WISE decision!!!
