Hey Tortola Treasure Seekers gang! 14 years after our rearranged Eastern Caribbean to Tortola that became a western to avoid a hurricane DH and our two DD's and I are booked to take a Tortola cruise on DCL next summer! That cruise was the first for both our girls, next year the eldest will be...

We just came back from an Alaskan cruise on RCL and stayed 3 nights before the cruise in Vancouver, it is a gorgeous city, easy transport and lots to do. We loved Stanley Park (could have spent a few days there, Granville Island was cute to wander around and we also headed out to Kitsilano...

You can order it from room service but for ease we always take a cup back to the room to put in the cooler after each meal. Mel x

Well I agree with Andrew that a year is a long time so let's not panic, however the cruise line in the article about passengers being denied disembarkation is Silversea, they are very high end and well established, I find it very hard to believe that they didn't know and adhere to the correct...

Thanks for those times Debs, how lovely it will be to have nice long light days Mel x PS Were there fireworks on the previous Baltic cruises? Seems unlikely, they would have to be very late!

We did separate tips on our b2b. Also our Head Server saw us a day or two before the end of the first cruise and checked if we wanted the same serving team or new faces. We really liked our servers and so kept with the same ones but there may be situations where you can't keep the same servers...

Totally agree. 1) Love the longer and more varied itineraries 2) Consistently great crew and service 3) Lovely atmosphere Mel x

Thanks for the links to the trip reports. I love reading through trip reports to get me all excited for our cruise :) Mel x

We spent 12 nights in 5513 last summer on one of the Venice cruises and loved it, it definitely felt more spacious than a regular inside. We have the same cabin booked for the Baltics next summer :) Mel x

Morning all, we are also in the process of booking with Anastasia Travel for the St Petersburg days. So much to see and if I am honest I can't see us going back for a land based holiday so I want to make the most of it. Andrew those photos look fab :) Mel x

Welcome, we were on the 2010 cruise in the Med with you as part of our b2b :) Mel x

If we stay over it will be Taxi for us! I prefer to start my trip with the least amount of hassle! Mel x

I guess they will allocate Port Arrival times when you do online check in - you can usually choose from a selection depending on what is still available. Last time we were later than planned due to traffic problems on A12 \ M25. My Dad drove us so we didn't have the car left in Dover as we...

I emailed before we even booked and have got the info about a tour which I think will work for us with the kids. We will probably go with the Relaxing St Petersburg 2 day tour with maybe a couple of amendments (including obviously the change in start on day 1!) Mel x

Loving seeing the photos of The Magic in Dover again Andrew. There was something really special about driving just a couple of hours from home to get on our favourite ship when we last sailed out of Dover. I am *slightly* concerned about the weather. A Baltic cruise has always been on my must...

Hi, We are booked on this as well. I have no idea what the price is yet but I can see on my castaway club page that I have a reservation so well done Kelsie at DU for getting me the room I wanted! This will be our 7th DCL cruise (6th for our daughters) but our first time cruising in the...

I can see from my castaway club page that I have 5513 booked for the 22nd July cruise! No price email from TA but I am happy that she is concentrating on getting the bookings made before emailing prices. This room is the sideways cat 11b we had for Venice last year and I am very happy with it -...

They are obstructed view so the secret portholes are sold at the price of an inside cabin and the secret verandahs are in a category with ocean view rooms. Mel x

What I am referencing is not a specific case although I accept there may have been cases (some even legitimate) but in fact the culture of suing left right and centre for any perceived upset, inconvenience or injury. You mention a case where skin grafts were required and clearly that is an...
