I feel your pain and I have my issues as well in deposits and changes and vac protection. i am walking away from HAL.

well now I am not going as i cancelled my cruise and so over HAL. I started a thread. but thanks for your reply.

i would still take Mykonos. some ships are now avoiding Naples and going further south to another port

yes both times I was unable to park in the garage, but folks who arrived 1 hour or so later did. I stood at the back of the ship and counted over 50 cars parking in the garage and on top. They want all the workers to fill up the flat lot first. I also talked to other passengers and some said they borrowed handicap tags or signs to use and get the garage. wow

you can bring one with you. Yes folks still watch DVD's. If you have kids and want to keep them entertained, just get a portable one to bring with you.

well on most of the RCI ships I did last year, MTD did not start until 6:45 pm.

how was parking at the port. Are they still making people believe the garage is only for handicapped which it is not. Upon my return last time, one of the fellows helping at the kiosk for payment said they like to fill up the lot first and then the garage. Parking use to be great now it is annoying trying to get into the garage. BTW i have done Anthem 3 times and love her and that giraffee.

check out You Tube by entering name of ship and see what folks have posted.

In Halifax get to the titanic cemetery as it was most fascinating. It is where James Cameron saw a name and put that in his movie for the Leo role. Also they used DNA to finally figure out who the unknown child was. Make sure to pick a tour that goes to the cemetery and also out to Peggy's cove.

yea I don't gamble either. I still most likely would take a pass as I am superstitious of deals.

well just be glad you are able to sail, I hope they do not shut down again. Right now NZ is having very bad storms with damaging winds. Just can't cut a break.

well 99 a day should make it easy for me. while I hope my Rotterdam SHIP still goes out of AMS in July to Norway, I will now think about flying to AMS for a ship from Rotterdam in future as I have seen some interesting trips. Last time I was in UK at Heathrow and staying in London for a precruise hotel, I got brave and saved a lot of money by taking the train. Was easier than I thought with just a couple of questions. toodles

i enjoyed mine last year and I was in a Junior Suite. But I do know what you mean as some ships do have hard mattresses. Maybe they are trying to fix this.

i have heard that some captains love the Radiance class ships as they are a bit quieter to sail

no I was thinking the same thing and you beat me to it.

yes it was especially the solarium. The Aqua show is fantastic too. Nice country music in Mason Jar too.

either too many ships in the schedule, or something else like increase crime maybe. I would take Mykonos over Athens which looks like a big hot mess of crowds and lots of ruins that I would tire of easily.

I feel the same way which is why I continue to use Port Liberty in NJ

unfortunately, this happens about I would say 15% of the time at GSC and Coco Cay. Just too bad they did not find private lsland further south. Some private island fair better than these two for weather issues.

thanks and I hope I do not have to do think as I want to sail from AMS on the ship Rotterdam.

i always do my own air as those cruise line ones are usually the schedules that are hard to book and hardly every non stop.

I thank you kindly for your nice explanation.

and my mom's favorite expression was "Aint't that ducky". If she were alive she would have fun looking for the ducks on a ship

if I see an offer for something for free, I stop and think hmmmmm, what is the catch. I do not think I would ever reply to one of these offers so as to not get caught up in a room or situation that was not to my liking.

I wish I knew why they chose the name Club Orange.
