If you are stopping in Rotterdam, I would definitely take the day trip to Amsterdam. In Bilbao, we did the Guggenheim and walked to the old town area.

We just did the 11 night RT from Southampton. We loved the ports, Bilbao was a #1 one for several of our group. I personally loved our day trip to Amsterdam but Bilbao was great. La Rochelle was very nice we did Green Venice but I would not say it was a must do.

Do you recall was the casino in Pounds or Euro?

I will be on starting 4/12 if that is not too late and you do not receive an answer I can check for you and let you know.

Out of 5 YC cruise there was only one were they were enforcing a dress code. It was the Seashore and we saw one person be told no t-shirt at dinner and one woman was told to change her shoes. That couple never ate in the restaurant the rest of the trip. I believe it was because of flip flops. We had talked to them later in the cruise and they said they were so offended they ate elsewhere.

On the Meraviglia when it was out of Port Canaveral we were the only people to use it. Also on the Seaside last year there were maybe 8 people max.

We had Maria as the YC director on the Seaside in October. She was great with the guests. She was always around.

It depends on your credit card. You need to make sure to use a card that does not charge a foreign transaction fee,

We board the Eurbia in April

I hope all ships go non smoking in the casinos.

Did you have trip insurance?

I disagree with this statement. While they are quite pricey, we very much enjoy the cabanas. We need the shade and it provides better shade then the umbrellas. We enjoyed eating our lunch in the cabana.

You do not get to pick your cabana number. You can request it from the concierge but they assign them at their discretion.

The thermal area on the Divina is a real disappointment. I did not like it at all. You definitely can tell the butler what you would like stocked in terms beer and soft drinks

Very true. A lot of the perks seem to be lowered
