Barwick Cruiser

Murano sounds delicious! We’ll do Tuscan our first night (discount!) and Murano later in the cruise…looking forward to the Chateaubriand 😋 Question regarding your time in Amsterdam. When you used transit, had you bought a OV card or did you just tap on and off with your credit card? I’m hoping to use my ApplePay from my phone.. Cathy

Hello! We are boarding on the 24th for the Best of Scandinavia itinerary. We have five days in Netherlands prior to boarding. Nice to get some idea of the entertainment on the ship! Thanks for doing this and hope the seas and weather are good for you!

Thank you so much for your review and all the great photos. Glad you had a wonderful voyage and were able to enjoy some informative presentations. Hope your travels home are smooth and uneventful! Any future cruises in the plans? Cathy

Wow, you have been a very busy woman! Def deserve a lovely holiday, your Mum is very lucky to have such a caring daughter. I hope you both enjoy this getaway…great ports too! Thanks for taking us along! Cathy

When they say long walk vs short walk what are the approx distances of each? Do they give you an approx length of time for the walks? Your recent sets of photos are amazing…well done! Cathy

Can you ask your wife if there’s a ladder of some sort to get back onto the tender from snorkeling? The water looks fairly calm and tho I’m not a strong swimmer I’m comfortable snorkeling in deep water especially with a dive suit and snorkel vest. I do float pretty well 😂. I’d hate to miss all the snorkeling due to not being a strong swimmer but of course would abide by any rules or guidelines. Thank you!

Add me to the club of Sleepbuds fans…every night or I don’t sleep, also often wonder what I’d do if they started to fail…your review can’t come soon enough lol. Keeping my fingers crossed that they work well for you and come with a positive recommendation and don’t break my bank 😬 Thanks for the update and as well for this wonderful blog! Cathy

I’m assuming there was an extra charge for the glamping experience? So glad you got your camera back…phew! Cathy

Your Kotor video worked well for me…you have a very steady hand! Looks beautiful 🌞 thank you!

Thank you so much for all the details you’re including in your report. I’m very sorry you suffered so badly with the altitude sickness at the beginning and I’m hoping you felt better the next day or so. This is a trip we’re hoping to do so the details are very helpful. Are you using a camera phone? Cathy

And the kids! 🥂 👏😉😂

Sorry to hear that the dive excursion didn’t go well, I know how disappointing it can be when you’re looking forward to an experience and conditions and extenuating circumstances let you down. Hopefully Marcia tries again and renews her love of diving. Also hope her shins heal up…ouch! Thanks again for all your great pics! Bringing back lots of memories! Cathy

Thank you for posting your travels so we can all follow along! I’m looking forward to your pics and commentary!

Glad you’re having a lovely sailing. We’re embarking Silhouette in May for the Baltics cruise. Glad to hear the entertainment is good and that the service we’ve come to appreciate is on point! Hope the remainder of your sailing continues to be smooth!

Your pics of Portofino are gorgeous…the snowy peaks in the distance add a lovely dimension! Very happy for you that you’re enjoying your holiday so far. Wishing they’d put T-pools on the S class ships and they’d have everything I’d want lol. Keep up the great postings, I’m very much enjoying following along! Cathy
