Hi

 

Just back from Voyeger med cruise.This was our first time cruise so i dont know what you would like to know.

Overall i can say it was a very good experience.Some very interesting city's are visited.As far as i understand percentage of american cruisers were alot lower then normal (dont know if that is good or bad: )) or maybe just a coincidence on that (our)cruise.Main cities visited were not by the port often so alot of bus rides (or other tansportation) were necessery.A lot of differnt types of sightseeing was possible ,so investigating what your favorities is from home would be a good idea.

 

Well ask away ,not sure i can answer but will try.

 

ps. sorry for any language or spelling errors ,but english is not my first language....Well not even my second..

Hi again

 

gave it a few thoughts and here comes some suggestions and random thoughts .no particular order.

Come at least one day early...Barcelona is a fine city..and jetlag could ruin some of the fun on cruise.

tours to rome were expensive but woth it in my opinion..the information supplied by the guides were worth every penny..

formal nigths were tuesday and thursday..

Ship was very in a very good condition.very clean and good looking..

We booked thursday for portofinos by coincidence,but it was a very good choise..view from portofino was stunning.Dinner started at 9 so first we enyojed villefrance "bayview" and when we sailed we had a very nice view of Nice and other cities by night.Food of course 1. class.

We didnt do many shows ,but heard they were mixed in quality.

 

just a few thoughts..

 

ask away

Any chance you could scan and post the cruise compasses?

 

I know we´re all a little overcurious and probably controlfreaks too, but it´s all in a good way :)

hi

 

I am playing with scanning it but cant seem to get usable quality without making very big files.

 

any ideas

We'll be there in a couple days on the Grand, will be glad to answer questions when we get back. :D :D

[Pacificlander]

Do you have any pictures you can share with us? Was 2nd dining at 9:00pm every night? What time were you able to board the ship in Barcelona? That's all the questions I can think of for now. :D

Hi

 

Second seating was 9:15 -9:30 .My experience was they were ready closer to 9:30 than 9...

Ship can be boarded from 1130 in barcelona.

Hi

 

We have done the Med several times. I can wholly recommend the dolphin sail in Gibraltar. If you've not been to Europe before, places like Rome and Florence will impress. Try to book your excursions sparingly as it is perfectly possible to come back more tired than when you left. If you have any specific questions, I'll be happy to answer if I can....enjoy!
