We used a private one, someone in our roll call started it I think it was SPB tours or something like that.

I really loved the Tortola stop with a trip to Virgin Gorda. I Loved crawling my way through the huge rocks

Hands down, St. Petersburg Russia and our Baltics cruise. The buildings and history were amazing. Even the subway was awesome. 2nd would be Alaska, very peaceful and beautiful.

Why did you think it was worth it?

I hope you find them. I took two and wish I would have taken more. One was a pasta one where we made noodles and a pasta meal and one was an apple pie. they baked the pie and brought it to the dining room where we had it for dessert. It was fun.

That they don't enforce their rules. Like what you are supposed to wear in the main dining room. If you're not going to enforce the rules, don't have them!

Two things.....I love Octopi. It makes me very happy when I get to use the word. Also, I loved Choir of Man. I've seen it three times on the ship. Don't miss it!

Favorite. Baltics. Russia was beautiful and Estonia I loved also. Of course seeing the rest of Europe was amazing. Alaska was also my favorite. Such natural beauty. Going for the third time in June. My least favorite, hands down, Panama Canal. Very Boring!

Yes it seems to be getting quite expensive. I love to cruise but I may be switching to other vacations. I sure love cruising though.

You got me thinking, I wonder if I have. I don't think I do but hey, it could be an absent minded thing.

Oh my goodness Tom Collins. I quit my job once working for my inlaws. Went to the bar with my two co workers and one of them liked Tom Collins'. I had never had one made the bad choice of drinking a lot of them, loved them apparently and left the bar with no shoes on. Walked across the street and about got hit by my mother in law (wasn't as close as I make it sound). A third co worker drove me home. I do not drink now (barely did them) maybe I should have one again just to see what I liked so much.

Baltic and Alaska. I can't choose. I loved Alaska because it is absolutely beautiful, I loved the Baltics because of the history. Especially Russia as I used to have a pen pal from there.

Thank you. I will look there.

Is there a place to go to, to see what shows are on which ship? Thanks Vicki

Sailed on both. Both have fabulous entertainment but I do prefer NCL's. Other then that I think both lines are comparable. Don't worry and enjoy your trip!

But you didn't overpay, you paid the price you agreed to pay.

Thank you

As I mentioned earlier my kids at that age loved cruising. But we usually just hang out as a family. Go to the shows. Go to supper. Listen to the music. Eat some more. Maybe spend time as a family

My kids loved cruising at that age. Why do you have to drink to have fun. Meet some people (on deck, at deck parties, at any event) and hang out. Spend time with your family. They have always had a blast.

I hope someone can clarify for me. I have looked on the Canadian website and I think I understand the answer but there are so many different answers on the web. Anyway, If you are going to Canada on a cruise with a birth certificate (a passport may not be possible) You will not be able to get off in Canada, is that correct? Just asking for those with experience. Some things I read say absolutely need a passport, others say not necessarily. Thank you in advance for your kind answers.

I have been on Princess and NCL (next year Royal) Both itineraries were the same. Neither was better but the ships do have a different atmosphere. Princess had speakers to listen to and probably a "classier" atmosphere. If going with my husband I'd go Princess again or try another line like Celebrity if it had the itinerary I wanted. I'd take NCL again too, but with my children because the ship had things on they would like. That is why we are going Royal next year, the kids chose the ship.

I have used Harv and Marv and they were awesome. We got close to the whales without intruding. Meaning we went to a spot and they swam by us. So close I could have touched them. It was amazing. Only 6 people on our boat.

We headed to the A-List bar when it was time for muster. Found a chair and waited. The room started filling up and people were confused wondering where they were to meat as on your card there is a letter and a number. But we were all to meet in that bar I guess. First I want to say I think the muster drill is important and I would never try to skip it but this one was worthless. I will tell you a year ago when we were on this ship I had to watch the video twice. Once when I did the online checkin. and once again when I was on the ship, then when we boarded we went and found the muster station. This time I believe we watched a video during the online checkin (to be honest i'm not for sure) Then this muster drill. OK so the crew came in and started scanning our cards and my number was 7 so they pointed me out a side door. Didn't say anything just said to go out. So we went out the side door and waited we listened to a message. Some people left, some stayed. No one seemed to know what we were supposed to do. So we stood there a while and the emergency sound went off and the message started again and a few more people came out. We left at that point. Doing it this way was absolutely no better then the check in type of muster. I'm sure it gets people to get it done though and they don't have to spend so much time waiting.
