This is an aside but do Princess have the 'enrichment' lectures? My wife says she likes listening to clever interesting people, for a change!

Many thanks for that. This sounds right up our street as my wife doesn't drink but really enjoys a mocktail. I may pre-order as suggested.

First time Princess line cruiser on May 10th.

Do Princess offer a per-day soda package as other lines do? I have searched the site and can find no reference. Cunard used to charge about $8 a day for unlimited sodas from the bar gun.

Thanks for the advice folks.

Denrus seem to be fairly comprehensive in their costs, and I presume the charge includes entry fees to the various sites too? I see the ship excursions do include 2 entry fees on their day tour and whatever photograhy licences are needed.

I have to say that I have had so many holidays spoiled to some degree by having my eye to a camera lens that now we rarely take any pictures. We tend to buy a few postcards to take back. If friends and relatives want to see what they is, they can go themselves!!!

I am digesting the city guide books at present.

Hi

Denrus appear to be a company that many cruise passengers use, and which I have had recommended to me.

I note on their web site that some cruiselines have been inclined to make it awkward for people taking touirs such as Denrus tours, because they are obviously taking business from the ships tours. It suggests that ships may try to insist that their organised tours disembark first and that this suggests to me that as the queues to pass immigration can be quite long this can disrupt your Denrus tour.

Has anybody encountered such attitudes from Celebrity, and has anybody done the Denrus tours? Was immigration a problem?
