how was the resort?

we will be there this September and wonder if they still have the package

thanks

Hi - we are just back from the Crown Princess. Booked this package on the phone with Katerina at the hotel. Gave my info on the phone and there was no problem. If the ship cant get in - no charges. We loved our day at this resort and highly recommend it. Picked up at 9 am , about 20 minute journey when you see quite a bit of the island, and dropped off at reception at which was quite clearly a 5* hotel. Checked in, they gave us a drink, a token for the huge beach towels and we were given a ride down to the pool area. You have a locker in the Spa where you can change. We had the choice of their lovely loungers , the situation is beautiful. The food was excellent and the salads huge and reasonable (suggest 1 between 2). There are several places to eat around the pool area, really nice. The beach is lovely - you will remember your day here - go for it !!

Have a great time:)

Appreciate the kind and nice comments on my visuals. Dubrovnik deserves the great credit. One of the big reasons to do this cruise was the chance to see Dubrovnik and a sampling of the Croatian Coast. It worked out very well, especially with the wonderful weather for that day and not having any other cruise ships in town that day. The panoramic cab tour was also great and positive "luck" that worked so well for us. Seeing Dubrovnik from those high vantage points was very important.

 

I also was so super glad that I did the wall walk. That was thrilling and very fascinating. It takes some work and effort, but was spectacularly worth it. Let me know any other questions. I'll re-check through my pictures to see if there are any other major ones that would be helpful to add to this collection/sampling.

 

What part of Ohio is native Buckeye teachinla from? How long ago? Great heritage!

 

THANKS! Enjoy! Terry in Ohio

Appreciate those who have “tuned in” for these two posts. Don’t be shy and feel free to comment and/or ask any questions of interest.

Terry, thanks for all your great info and pictures. We will be there on 13th July and look forward to it. We, too, want to do the panoramic tour and lunch at Kormada -- did you reserve a table ? How did you get back to the ship after your day ? Thanks
