hi all a few words about our cruise,it was really good the crew couldnt do enough for us,altho there was only a few cc members a welcome party was arranged thanks to steve n anton a big suprise many thanks i could find fault like why doesnt the sun shine on me balcony all day,and other stupid things like that ,when people book a cruise dont they realise its a sea going vessel and not a 5 star hotel in maiami and suprise suprise it will move and shudder some times found the food service etc all to be better than good,in europe because its a smaller vessel it can dock near the port entrances so no shuttle busses needed a big bonus, but that means you have to walk a fair bit,found some ports better than others but you have to do your research yes we could fault minor things but on the whole we had a bl----- good time a top tip breakfast in the resturant !!!!! graham n jayne fatter,browner n poorer brits :) :cool:

Congrats on a good cruise and welcome home. We'll be on the 6/7/08 cruise. Would love more detail on your port experiences. We have plans for a few but not all.

Welcome back Gosport,

Glad to hear you had a wonderful cruise, but sorry about the sun not shining on your balcony all day.

I remember on Galaxy we had a CC morning tea, where Jenifer, a lovely Assistant Cruise Director from Australia, asked if there were any problems or concerns, anyway after about half an hour of pure trivial nonsense I said “I have a complaint”, Jenifer looking rather surprised at me knowing I was from Aus, she said “oh! Mr C, what is the problem?” to which I replied, with a wink, “I can’t get the toilet paper to tear along the perforations!”:rolleyes:

The silly part was that no one else there got it, anyway at dinner that evening we received a complementary bottle of wine from the Cruise Director, who thought it was the best laugh they all had in a long while!:p

By the way did you get along side in Monte Carlo, if so whereabouts, or did you have to anchor?

Regards, Bruce

hi iwould take the aix trip from marsellie as its a pretty place to vist,the ship docks about 15 min walk fom the town catch the little tourist train to the church on the hill its a nice place. monte carlo is very hilly look out for the elevators and lifts,to vist the casino you need to be smartly dressed,a walk up to monaco is a must lots to see ,if you go shopping and ask the price you cant afford it its very pricey just check the estate agents windows,we caught the local busses from cannes 2.30 hrs trip for 2 euros an experiance stopped at every lamp post lol the other ports except barcelona werent on our itenary,look at po web site they have quite in depth port excursions for ideas also carnival graham
