What sort of things so you mean?
November 1st is a holiday here but the 2nd is a normal working day.
Thanks, Carol. I had read on one of your earlier replies that sometimes various museums are closed after October. I was just wondering if most were still open then.
Your reviews are wonderful; I really appreciated all the information!

Hello Carol,
We will be on the Prinsendam that docks in Alicante Nov 2 from 8:00 - 4:00. I was wondering if much will be open then?
Thanks for your help,

Hello Biaria,
Yes, I do understand and I apologize for putting you on the spot. You are certainly more than appreciated on this board.
Thanks, Mama Quack. I am writing to Daniel to ask about your restaurant. You don't remember the name?

Thanks Karen and Mama Quack,
Is Daniel's address the one that is on his taxi service? Also do you remember seeing espada on the menu where you ate with him?

Hello Biaria,
We were in Funchal about a year ago in the fall and will return this coming October. It was one of our favorite ports and are delighted that it will be a 2 day stay this time. My husband has talked so much about the espada we ate there. Do you have a favorite place to eat this fish?
Thanks for your help,
Nancy

Hi Ruby and Ship's Cat,
Thanks for the additional info. We are going to St John's, Newfoundland. I read that there is a
British Island Tour Bus there that does the things you mention. I have been trying to find information on Torshvn and Nanortalik but it is like hunting needles in a haystack, so I appreciated your info. I read on one post from 2004 that there was a free city bus that locals would guide you around the area. I don't know if that is still happening or not. All the other ports have been easy. I agree with you that the smaller ships are better for getting closer to what you want to see. We used to sail with Renaissance before it "went under." I am hoping to sail with Oceania sometime. We do go with HAL frequently and I have read so much about Princendam that I hope to cruise it or Ocenia to the Black Sea. I will really enjoy hearing about your cruise there. Will you be posting on the CC boards as you go or just when you return. I can't remember when you were going.

Hello Ships Cat and Saga Rose,
I have enjoyed reading your posts on the Europe destinations site. I was searching for information on Nanortalik and Torshavn, but found your discussions really interesting and informative. I am wanting to go on Princendam to the Black Sea area and your itinerary sounds like what I want. Please do post when you return. I would appreciate any information on the ports. Do you usually take ship tours or do you try to book private tours? We will be on the Maasdam July 22 - Aug 9 from Rotterdam to Boston. I have found several guides in the ports and am looking forward to the cruise.
Thanks in advance for any help on the Black Sea area or Nanortalik, Torshavn, St Pierre, and St John's.

WE are going on the July 20 cruise with Century. Could you tell us about the tours you did in each port? Someone said not to do the ON/OFF bus in Oslo but did not say why. Any comment? Also please give any "must do's or don'ts". And, if you don't mind, comments on the ship would be appreciated. In other words.......I can't wait to go!

We went to Antarctica and loved it. We are now considering a cruise to the Arctic up the Norweigian coast. I would be interested in comparisons?
