scottishwee35 Posted September 19, 2012 #151 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Photo of ice creams brought my memory back... We went to Naples with Disney Cruise and we went excursion to Amifia Drive and coach drove all the way down and beautiful place there and it was ice cream shop similar which you showed your photo We just full up with lunch and wines but we saw Mars Bar Ice Cream and we end up had ice cream which was so lovely...:p Scottishwee35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mauimary Posted September 19, 2012 #152 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Lita--your photos are beautiful. Thankyou for taking all the time to share with all of us. I look forward to taking a peek everyday. Beautiful photos of your family. You guys all look so well and I can tell you are having a wonderful time. Your gelato photos are yummy just looking at them. Makes me want to walk out and get some good gelato. I think we need to do this cruise. We are leaving next week for your beautiful country of Canada.

hummy0605 Posted September 19, 2012 #153 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Lita, I have to say that you must be the kindest and most thoughtful person. You have such a sweet disposition, I hope our paths cross one day. I truly enjoy your review and pictures and can't wait for the next segment. She is the most sweetest person you could ever hope to meet (as are Arn and Emily) and we were priveliged to meet them and share our holiday with them all :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mauimary Posted September 19, 2012 #154 Share Posted September 19, 2012 PS Lita to my last post. I think RCI should be giving you guys a commission as you are definatey going to be selling some cruises for them out of Venice. We need to free up some time to do more cruising.

LitaArn Posted September 21, 2012 Author #155 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Oh no you are not boring as I enjoyed to read it and love to see photos Ah I see that you had a headache last night and I had that too last Saturday at my husband cousin's 30th birthday party. I had to leave early. It was horrible feeling and I felt throw up but didnt. I had terrible migraine few years ago and it was just one off . I was looking at your trip story this morning and wonder where are you? Now I realised that. Anyway, your photos are absolutely beautiful and what a lovely place and lovely photos of you three together and driver looked handsome too...:D I look forward to read next one:) Scottishwee35 Photo of ice creams brought my memory back...

I’ve been headachy for the last two days which was bothersome. Oh well, I still am thankful that it is not migraine. I’m glad to know that you find my review interesting; you are so kind to write in. Thank You. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LitaArn Posted September 21, 2012 Author #160 Share Posted September 21, 2012 MYKONOS and DUBROVNIK I read from Ginagirl51’s post that she’ll be leaving for Venice tomorrow (looked up her signature and she’s sailing on the Norwegian Jade which stops in Mykonos and Dubrovnik), and luvs2beachit (Judie) is leaving too on the 22nd but won’t be stopping at those 2 ports. IF I continue to write my review in chronological order, I won’t have the time to touch on those ports in my review before she leaves. I decided to post the review of those 2 ports today and hope that she sees them. MYKONOS - we did Royal’s ship’s excursion “Kalafatis Beach Tour” then later on toured the town Kalafatis Beach - beach chairs are 6euros each, clean washroom, didn’t use the restaurant, just wanted to relax on the beach. We’d go back there again when in Mykonos. Took this photo from the bus while waiting to leave the beach Heading back to the town Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LitaArn Posted September 21, 2012 Author #161 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Lunch at “Mykonos Resto” along the seafront - lunch and service was good, reasonable rates IMO, lunch entrees start at 9 euros. Would go back again... My lunch of chicken skewers .... very good... 10 or 12 euros I think “Giorgia” --- and the man who raised her, her “father” Elias, posing for pictures On the way to see the “Windmills of Venice” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting that you said that, after that I looked at your future Cruise list and low and behold there is one that I was considering - it is the one for the Panama Canal in 2014, it will be for our 40th Anniversary, but I am also considering a Baltic Cruise for that so that is why I have not made a decision yet, I have to wait till that Baltic cruise get released in the Spring- so one never knows we may see you on the Panama Canal Cruise :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancelady Posted September 21, 2012 #169 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Thank you for sharing these wonderful photo's, brings back memories of the places we had been last Sept. on Splendour.

LitaArn Posted September 23, 2012 Author #171 Share Posted September 23, 2012 (edited) On our cruise we are docked in Mykonos 12-8pm, i wonder whether it is worth doing a beach excursion at this time or would the loungers all be taken? Louise Hi Louise, Re loungers - I think it will depend a lot on how many ships are in port that day and how early is your excursion time. So I checked the date you’ll be stopping in Mykonos on RCI’s website and saw that it’ll be on May 29th from 7am - 5pm. You’ve mentioned that your scheduled stop will be from 12-8pm. On our cruise, the original itinerary was Mykonos on the 4th day from 1-10pm, but when we got on board found out it was changed to the 5th day from 8am-6pm. The reason why I had to check your arrival date was because I know this website that will show what will be the “Port Load” and “Other Ships in Port” that day (you probably know the website too, but if you don’t and you’d like to know, you can email me cruisecriticfan@live.ca I can’t post the website’s name here because it is against Cruise Critic’s regulations. At this time, the list is not complete yet because your cruise is still 8 months away. From past experience, I would say that the website has been fairly correct. When we were in Mykonos, Norwegian Jade was there too. Some of their pax were already there at the beach when we got in, but we still found us loungers right in front of the beach and still plenty more to choose from. Hope the above info helps.

Arn and I, together with our friends Rebecca and Blake (2tall) are planning to do a Baltic cruise in 2015. Wouldn’t that be just wonderful to cruise with you on the Panama, and the Baltics too :D And an advance Happy 40th Anniversary to you and your husband.

You're very welcome, and Thank You for writing in :) Yes, Vicky and the band were there. They were really good, and Vicki’s voice was golden, quite beautiful! My beloved parents (now both deceased), siblings, and I moved to Canada from the Philippines almost 35 years ago. The families of Vicki and her band members also were from the Philippines and moved to the States. We got acquainted during the "Disco Night". It was fun :D Edited September 23, 2012 by LitaArn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
