Lets try that again! Just out of interest LB, how long is it valid for? Simon

What gits!!!! Hope it all works out OK. Simon

You were lucky!! We were 58 and number still hadn't been called by 1000 (supposed to be 0900!). We just decided to join the queues to get off. Took nearly an hour from 'dinging' out to get to the 2 (count them!! 2!) immigration officers that were checking everyones passports. Got a taxi at about 1130, then wouldn't you believe it, plane was late in! Now sitting at home with a nice, hot cup of tea (as opposed to what you get on Oasis!!). Simon

African or European?

You would be really unlucky not to make it. Simon

If you are missing the rain, campaign for the re-introduction of the Julian calendar and you can have another 13 days!!😁⛈️ Simon

We don't do speciality dining, but MDR was fine and Horizon buffet pretty good. Our revelation was The Quays. Great for a snack (especially lunchtimeish), or have two portions for a bigger meal...they do a great breakfast too. As others have said Flam railway is great, but sells out quick. If you are going to Gerainger, do the trip to Mt. Dalsnibba..much cheaper on your own than through the ship https://www.geirangerfjord.no/bus-tour-to-mt-dalsnibba Whats hair??!!😁 Simon

My only point to add is, don't forget the two cruises are totally seperate as far as RCI are concerned, so on the last night of your first cruise, check your bill to make sure its correct...it does not carry over to the next cruise. As said, in the US, you have to get off the ship to go through Homeland. In Europe you usually just stay on the ship, get your new card given to you (sometimes on the last night), so you can go and explore if you want. In Barcelona, you used to get a card so you could jump the security line to get back on board...don't know if they still do. Also in Barcelona, there is a duty free shop after security, so you could buy a bottle or two and take it on the ship, as they don't have the scanners set up on the ship...just saying! Simon

I was hoping we'd get a alternate port, but looks like another sea day. Just what we want as we are doing the b2b TransAtlantic with 10 sea days! Simon

Hi Capt Yes, I’m aware of the trolleys…we are planning to use them too. thanks Simon

I saw that…hopefully if it’s closed when we are there, there will be buses🤞 Simon

Thanks for the links. I found most of those, but I found a couple of local newspaper websites that seemed to infer that the Inner loop was being closed for some time. I take it that hasn't happened yet, so hopefully we'll be OK. Simon

It’s the same thing. I thought about putting ‘bar of soap’, but for some reason I thought the term ‘tablet’ was used in the US. Also the soap is usually round, so it doesn’t look like a bar…more confusion!!! Simon

Thanks for the reply Simon
