Yes you will be some of the youngest guests. Doesn't bother us to be honest (I am 30 and DH is 28) we find enough to occupy and entertain us. Depends what you gone s cruise for though.

I guess you did not see the pictures of the Tunisians forming a human shield to try and protect the European holiday makers, or read about the Tunisian builder who helped the police by throwing tiles onto the head of the terrorist ?

 

I know we are meant to be polite on these forums, but to denigrate a whole country with such a bigoted and incorrect view only highlights your lack of understanding and knowledge.

I wish cruise critic had a like button! This is exactly what I was thinking

Have you searched on the Copenhagen port web site? In regards to St Petersburg that is the time the ship docks and not the time you will be leaving the ship. I doubt very much you will make a 3pm flight.

The Sants train station has lockers for luggage if that is any help. This is the station that the airport train arrives into.

Toilet / WC - washroom / restroom

Lift - elevator

Quid - pound e.g lend us a few quid or that will be 10 quid please

Fiver - five pound note

Tenner - ten pound note

not all ships in Bergen dock in the same place so you will be fine! We have been with 3 ships and didn't notice anything unusual

If you are travelling to the port by train this may swing your decision on location

Which attractions do you wish to see? Do you mean overground trains or the underground/tube? Are you getting the train to the port after?

From memory nothing spectacular on either side for gran canaria but did see Dolphins :-)

I worked at a small liberal arts college in the U.S. In our post 9-11 era, and even more recently with more anti-American sentiment throughout the world, students getting ready for their semester abroad were encouraged NOT to wear sneakers outside of the gym - a surefire way to identify them as American since most European students do not wear gym sneakers all day. The goal was to make the American students as inconspicuous as possible.

Trust me many British will wear sneakers / trainers. Perhaps European e.g Spanish and Italian wouldn't buy we defiantly do

SO very sad! Would you dress like that in NYC or Paris?? Same goes for London since the locals are very fashionable. One does not have to stand out!!!

Not everyone is... We have plenty of chavs :-)

What's with this "sneakers" issue? I just returned from 22 days land & cruise - British Isles, and saw lots of people wearing sneakers [AKA trainers]. In fact, having read on CC that it's a big faux pas to wear sneakers, I kept watching what people wore while in London. My sneakers were the norm. A friend from Bournemouth, with whom we traveled, was wearing sneakers when we met in Salisbury.

 

 

 

Wear whatever you want, comfort is more important that style.

Well said! When sightseeing you want to be comfy. I wear trainers/ pumps or plimsolls 80% of the time here

What is wrong with 'sneakers' for sightseeing?

If you don't buy the advance ticket then yes you pay full fare although sometimes there are different levels of full fares depending on when you travel etc. Annoyingly in the UK trains don't sell out so they sometimes sell more tickets then the number of seats but this probably won't be the case on this route

I have sailed from both for Baltic or Norwegian fjords cruises. Perhaps size of ship is restricted.

Most Norwegian ports you can 'sightsee' yourself easily and this would be fine with a child of this age. Which ports are u possibly going to?

If the price had gone up would you expect them to want the additional cost? It's just a chance you take.

Thanks for the info! I may be taking a cruise that departs from Harwich. On another Thread, a fellow passenger said she missed her Italian train for which she had advance tickets and was reimbursed for her replacement tickets by her travel insurance. I wish I had known this years ago when I lost that other ticket, but according to her---at least her plan---wouldn’t reimburse the first ticket, but reimbursed the replacement. That gives me more confidence now buying in advance, especially with a good deal.

 

Happy Travels!

This would only work if the insurance company believe you allowed enough time between your flight and the train departing.

Hi, I once missed a train in the UK due to a late arriving ship and could not use my ticket for a later train. Curious about this train to Harwich. If I purchase in advance and my plane is late, am I able to catch a later train?

 

 

 

Thanks!

It all depends what type of ticket you book. Some are only available for specific trains which you can't transfer. Others can be used on all departures or those departing between certain hours. Cheaper tickets usually have more restrictions. The web site will tell you the restrictions when booking.

I did from the age of 11. Also went on deck on own to read etc

If it is the premier inn west quay I would go with that as location is good however all the other prems are a little further out. Premier inn often have offers for non flexible rates in fact they launched a new campaign this week.

There is a tesco express store about 5 min walk away but a larger selection at asda which is about 12 min walk away.

Crete is a popular beach holiday destination and Barcelona has a beach in the centre.

I sailed celebrity as a teen and loved it... So much so that I still cruise with them and I turn 30 this week

Wear what you want and be comfortable and practical for the weather. Shock horror I sometimes wear a hooded top out and about and guess what...I still function just fine. If you want to dine at expensive restaurants etc then of course it isn't suitable but just to enjoy your holiday and enjoy the sights I say go for it! Everyone has their own view and style and if we didn't life would be a boring place.

I would also say that the UK is a little different to the rest of Europe e.g, Italy and Spain but that is a cultural and weather thing

Enjoy your time in the UK.
