Spinner2 Posted July 1, 2011 #1 Share Posted July 1, 2011 We've finally managed to put together some information and photos (mostly about the ports) from our recent cruise. We've tried really hard to make this a document that would help those who will be taking these 2 cruises later this summer plan how best to use their time. This is the new blog; there are many, many pages; enjoy the animation that opens it and then browse in what interests you. I did do a more traditional review when we first got back; it's HERE if you missed it earlier this month. And we have Google maps for 15 cruises; some are back to back so there's more than 15. That list is HERE if you'd like to see if your upcoming cruise is one we've mapped. There's lots of information on the maps that you can link to. I hope you'll enjoy our work.

Storylady Posted July 4, 2011 #9 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Thanks for sharing. I like your explanation of why you took a HAL tour or did it on your own. Do you have other blogs from previous trips? I love looking at cruise blogs as they give me ideas that you can't find in books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lazey1 Posted July 5, 2011 #12 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Thank you, You have stirred up many wonderful memories from our 50th anniversary cruise of the Baltic followed by the trans-Atlantic aboard the Eurodam in 2008.:):):) Jane & Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SXM54 Posted July 6, 2011 #13 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Where did you get this blog format from, especially love just tapping on the pictures instead of a forward arrow. Really neat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinner2 Posted July 6, 2011 Author #14 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Thank you so much, everybody, for all of the kind comments. We got so much great information before our cruise, I was hoping to "give back" in some way and I'm delighted (as is my DH who did the blog photos and the interactive map) that several of you can use the information as you plan your own cruise. A couple of specific questions: Storylady, I've been terrible at getting blogs finished; somehow when we get home we get so busy! But I do have one other finished and all of our cruises have maps with local links on them; some more than others as we've learned more and technology has improved. I added the link to the HOME page for all of the blogs into my signature. In addition to this Eurodam one you'll find one other and one PhotoBook. SXM54, I'm a website developer so I design my own pages. I write a lot of my own scripts for things like photo handling but I know where there are free commercial ones too. If you know how to code in HTML or have software to do that just e-mail me and I'll be glad to shoot some code over to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petrakae Posted July 6, 2011 #15 Share Posted July 6, 2011 So interesting and informative. Thank you for taking the time to do it. Will be doing similar in August, and now even more excited. (If that was at all possible) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinner2 Posted July 7, 2011 Author #16 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Petrakae, I'm sure you'll have a wonderful cruise! You should be excited. Do a lot of planning and have some optional ideas so you use your time for the things you'd enjoy the most. There's so much to see in all of these places.
