  1. Just checking in since we will be traveling next month and have an organized tour in Anthens.

     

    Thanks to all the locals for the info,and I hope and pray that things resolve for the best!

     

    Looking forward to seeing Greece!!

  2. I am amazed that our daughters met their sweethearts on two different cruises and cruise lines. Sarah married husband four years after meeting him on Carnival. Abby has been dating her boyfriend of three years after meeting him on a Royal Carribbean cruise. Now, I never believe the cruise director who says, "Have fun; you'll never see these people again.

     

    I am also amazed at the large number of people who seem to try and find things to complain about.

     

    Wow!!! - so happy for ur daughters- u r right u do end u seeing some people again.

  3. After 50+ cruise, I am still amazed that we are still able to do 1 or 2 trips a year as retirees, been retired since l999... 15 years and still going. Booked on the OM2, in September, have another cruise in the works.

     

    Glad we started early, long before we retired... becuase we have seen and enjoyed so many places. Today cruises are actually cheaper... remember our first cruise to Europe in the late 80s, we paid $7000 for a limited view cabin on a 12 day cruise from Venice to London...that did not include air... today for that price one can get a nice balcony cabin.

     

    Yes, the cruise fare is getting cheaper but u have to pay for things that u didn't before. Our first cruise in 1998 was the most expensive for an inside cabin (3000 for 2) that we never book again.

    Cruising is a bit addictive and the memories last long after debarkation and that's amazing!!!

  4. We took a half-day tour to Aix through the ship. I'd read about the horrible traffic in that area and decided we'd feel more comfortable on a ship's excursion. And indeed the traffic was awful, resulting in a longer drive to Aix than usual and a pretty rushed walk through the town, with virtually no time on our own. (Re traffic: also see the post above by Honeybearhollow, who was on the same sailing.) We were there on a Monday, which our guide said is the worst day for traffic.

     

    We will be there on a Monday in August - so is wondering why "it is the worst day for traffic"?

     

    Any ideas?

  5. My DH and I are cruising the Epic in a week or so... I are book for the Cirque show the first night of our cruise with the prem seats. I was wondering how early should we show up. I know there are very limited number of tables for 2.

     

    Thanks in advance for any info...

    I did this on the Breakaway - it was beautiful - you are going to love the show and the dinner. We were 3 and we had to share a table with 2 other families. Yes, there are very few tables for 2. We got there about 15-20 minutes before as recommended but it had a long line. It all depends on the other attendees.

     

    Enjoy!!
