For the love of all that is holy please shut this thread down.

This upcoming cruise will be my first as a diamond. Can we use the drink vouchers in the MDR or do I have to run out to oneof the bars?

Thanks for the reply. I'd like to drill down a bit because there are SO MANY flavors of cards.

My lovely wife and I will be spending 3 days in Venice pre-cruise and the variety of tourist cards is making my head spin. We are going to see as much as we can so will purchase the 48 or 72 hour vaporetto card BUT which tourist card should I consider or is it not worth it?

Thanks,

David

Thanks to both of you for your replies. Now it makes more sense.

Serenade was originally scheduled to dock in Warnemunde but now seems to be docking in Rostock. Is there transportation from Rostock dock to the train station or is there only one port that being Warnemunde/Rostock?

Thanks

Hello all. Our ship docks in Rostock and I already have my Lander ticket but I can't seem to find our the best way to get to Rostock station. Can I walk? Taxi? tram?

Thanks for the good suggestions.

We need a hotel for one night before flying home so need to stash our bags for the day and then have fairly easy access to the airport for an early flight. Suggestions appreciated.

We did the Bodden tour just last week (July 2015) and Tex was our driver. He did a great job and I thought the tour was terrific. We brought a huge duffle with school supplies and Tex took us tone off the schools which, for me, the highlight of the tour.

But! Be prepared to tip everyone! We did the zipline and had two assistants each of whom expected a tip. There was a photographer with us and there was a bit of a full court press to buy the pictures. We then did the monkey exhibit and was expected to tip that guide (there's a big old sign telling you when to tip). You even have to tip the monkeys but they will accept sunflower seeds.

We also gave Tex a very generous tip which he deserved. It was about $100 in gratuities by the end of the day. They have learned well from the cruise ships and are maximizing their income streams.

In any event just be prepared and make sure you have enough cash on you - that became a bit of a concern for me as the day progressed. I thoroughly enjoyed the day but felt a bit roughed up financially as I walked back to Navigator to have some idiot photographer want to take my picture for the 300th time.

Any feedback on island wings tour to traitor cove? 80 year old MIL wants to see bears and i want to maximize her chances.
