Agree with Sapphire. Did Alaska on her sister Diamond, and later on Coral. Sapphire has the better wraparound promenade deck. EM

Oops! I see that you do have a pair of slacks in the bag. You might need them in London, too. I see you have a sweater…I might add a shawl to drape over your shoulders in the churches in Italy. No bare knees or shoulders. When in Spain and Italy churches are always on the tour…but I found it interesting that in Greece not one church was mentioned. EM

Arrival Breeze will sail from Galveston. EM

It’s going to be in the 80s, probably high humidity. Stay in the shade and keep hydrated, preferably not with alcohol or caffeine. Or stay in a/c. EM

Two other places to research this: 1. On the Ports of Call board for Europe; 2. The MSC board here, under Cruise Lines A-O. EM

Are the pull out sofa beds (vs bunk beds) a big inconvenience?
Essiesmom replied to Sunny03's topic in Celebrity Cruises
It depends on the class of ship as to the bed configuration. Some have the sofa bed that does not fold out and a bunk above it. Some have a foldout single with bunk above the large bed. But also importantly, keeping your balcony door open sucks a/c out of other rooms in your sector to keep your room cool. It’s a no no, and there are signs on the balcony doors asking you not to do it. EM -
Both lines will have kids programs, but NCL will have more features to entertain kids than any Princess ship. EM

Just off my first Carnival Cruise- what surprised me
Essiesmom replied to TheLargeFamily's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
Hmmm…I thought Dream class was the first to have the ropes course. Must be getting old. EM -
St Thomas - beach for snorkeling and island tour
Essiesmom replied to KJMM's topic in St. Thomas/St. John
Welcome to Cruise Critic. There is a forum here called Ports of Call where you can research St. Thomas and your other ports. EM -
My previous passports had a place to enter your home address in pencil. The new one from last year only has a place for phone, email, and next of kin in pencil. I never had to notify anyone when I moved. EM

Kotor tender docks right at the entrance to the walled city. Split…there might be a shuttle into town, as I understand the terminal is a distance from the city. Last two times I was there it was a tender port except for ferries and small ships. EM

Solstice class of Celebrity doesn’t have them. EM

I think you need to visit the Ports of Call board for the Pacific Islands. And immediately join the roll call for this cruise. It is active with 26 pages. You might find someone to share this excursion with. After 7 years, it’s time to explore the boards. EM
