I considered Civitavecchia before I wrote my post, but, I have embarked a cruise there only once. I don't recall anything particularly scenic when we sailed, but, did enjoy seeing the large variety of ships (Med ferries) of companies that I had heard of, but, never had seen. As a port of call, I have visited San Francisco a few times, but, never embarked a cruise there. For me, and others as well, it's special. Why? The scenic harbor, the city's skyline, and the Golden Gate Bridge!

I think that is very important particularly when there are two or more ships of the same cruise line in port.

DAY to Auckland and DAY to Santiago are my two longest flights in order to embark a cruise. The longest flight to return home was from Singapore to DAY.

Interesting and thanks for the information. Did you ask a bartender for them?

Yes. It's an amazing experience.

Your entire post is excellent!

My menu for my dinner is a picnic-style dinner. Baked Beans with Wieners, Red Skin Potato Salad, Lime Jello with Sliced Pears, and Peach Ice Cream. My Baked Beans have been prepared using my special recipe of "a little of this and a lot of that". (Light Brown Sugar, Onions, Parsley Flakes, Ketchup, Accent, and Black Pepper. I put the ingredients together and refrigerate the mixture for several hours. I'll put this concoction in the oven and let it cook for 75-90 minutes at 350 degrees. Sometimes, I get a bit of "too much of that" and "not enough of this", but, not often. If that happens, I can too some "tweaking" when it's time for leftovers. What's your menu for Independence Day this year?

Considering a flight from JFK to Helsinki to Oslo in Business Class. I would appreciate learning the views and/or experiences by those who may have flown on Finnair in Business Class and on this itinerary.
