  1. Correct, there is also an old saying about Caribbean cruising. The best Island in the Caribbean has propellers
  2. Sad generalisation, I sailed out of Miami for twelve years. There are some wonderful beaches in the Carib and Med. Where do you think this one is
  3. Correct, here in Croatia It is a no no on public beaches. We have plenty of nudist beaches and islands if you want to go au naturel.
  4. For those visiting Split tomorrow be glad your visit is not Monday. https://www.bbc.com/weather/3190261
  5. Yes get a 15 bus from the stop next to the green market to Znjan beach (very frequent) ask the driver for the stop near the Amphora Hotel . For the able bodied there are plenty of benches under trees for shade. For the disabled or less able, there is one of the best beaches in europe. From a jetty you have an electric chair lift and graduated steps onto a platform in the sea. Next to it is the Elderly beach with benches and umbrellas on a concrete platform. Full wheel chair access to the beach and sea. Toilets showers and changing room. The next door beaches are all stone. There are beach bars that usually have food like pizza. Me then my husband
  6. As a Croatian I apologise, if you read my previous post you will understand. If you ever get to Split message me. We will show you the real Croatia foc .
  7. I was born in Pula and raised in Split. Split has a major problem. Tourism is relatively new here and it shows. Two pre covid government surveys rank Split and Dalmatia the worsted in tourist service. One of the reasons is when the season stats here and the requirement for staff explodes the unemployed are forced to take any job on offer.
  8. NB the pic above is RCL. Unfortunately only MSC Armonia does walk on's from Split. We have never sailed MSC but to me the deals here seem cheap. I was after some "horses mouth" advice but it appears the stable door is bolted.
  9. Well my friend they are cruising, we sat having coffee on the Riva Split Croatia yesterday after buying some wonderful Langoustines for dinner. The Armonia disgorged a good few pax. https://slobodnadalmacija.hr/split/sezona-u-splitu-opasno-se-zahuktava-znamo-i-koliko-ce-ljudi-ovoga-vikenda-proci-kroz-resnik-iz-jadrolinije-javljaju-pod-pritiskom-smo-od-srijede-uvodimo-izvanredne-linije-1201789
  10. More likely sloppy communication and delivery. Initially before I got a grip of my brigade I would visit table complaints on the same sitting "my steak is rare I wanted well done" "my steak is well done I wanted rare" I was salaried so tips hunting was of no Interest. Cunning waitstaff create a problem and reap the rewards when they solve it.
  11. I would sit in at the daily meetings in place of the maitre'd 3 times a week as part of my training. I had to report the pax interaction with my brigade 140 wait staff among other things. If the executive chef did not care he was toast. I also worked with three excellent Masters who would ask me to pick interesting pax for Captains nights.
  12. My first job in the industry was as an assistant Maitre d with Celebrity out of Miami. I then after a few years took the easier job as gift/duty free shop manager. The best food we have had on a Cruise was on Discovery Cruise line from Fort Lauderdale to Freeport and back. The ship was a old wreck but the dining room food was very very good.
  13. Hello, just remember it is very hot in July and very crowded. At the market end of the Riva there is a model of the old town so you can orientate yourself on it.The bus depot is on the dock. Most people speak English, buses usually have good aircon. Trogir is older than Split, the Greeks were there before the Romans. Would I travel there by bus in July , not really.
  14. I live in Split (Znjan beach) with my British husband. I answered your post because we are planning to take a walk on on the MSC Armonia in October. We take the ferry mainly to Hvar and Brac. Anything else feel free to ask.
