That is what I thought.Those pictures are stunning!
I just hope that I get to see some.Love the dolphins!
I have never watched this. I just Googled it and it was partly filmed in Morocco and Malta, both of which have a fair bit of Arabic architecture.The palace looks like one of the sets from Game of Thrones!
Yes, quite a few cruise lines offer them between October and March/April. Winters in the Middle East are lovely and the cruises offer the cruise lines an alternative to bringing their ships back to the Caribbean after the European season.I had no idea there were Arabian Gulf cruises, how exciting!!!
I said to Graham the other day that I will probably have non-stop trip reports going until at least spring of 2017. I am hoping to have the Disneyland Paris one wrapped up before I go on this cruise and will start posting the one for my Coast to Coast Adventure once I get back. I will see where I fit this one in. I may have to do two consecutive trip reports.I can't wait to hear your report on this one![]()
I usually get twitchy after three or four days.I do enjoy staying home for a bit, but three weeks would be too much.
Nothing concrete yet. I may have a quick day trip to London to see the Christmas decorations and visit Harrods. Other than that, I will run various errands and spend some quality time writing trip reports.any plans for the other two weeks?

I will finally be able to give my 25mm prime lens a proper workout on this trip.Can't wait to see those pictures.
I like that concept. I have justified my Disney Dooney habit for quite a while with looking at cost per use. Maybe I should do a similar thing for our trips by comparing the cost to how many people benefit from it.Well done on getting that booked so *we* can enjoy it.![]()
I think it is a great cruise and something a bit different.I'm going to have to put this on my bucket list.
And I am looking forward to writing all of them. I have to say this year I suffered from acute trip report withdrawal.I look forward to hearing about all of them![]()
I am really looking forward to this. The first time I set foot into Harrods, I had a full-blown panic attack as I felt completely out of place. Nowadays, I just treat it like a museum and I can appreciate it for all its special little touches.That sounds lovelyOne day I must get back to Harrods, I did not spend nearly enough time in there.
I'm glad you can enjoy going there now. It does have the museum feel, I totally agree with you.I am really looking forward to this.

I am glad, too. Nowadays I could spend ages in the food hall and Harrods is truly magical at Christmas time. They also have some tie in with Disney now and I have not seen this yet.I'm glad you can enjoy going there now.
$8 per day.How much is the soda package?
That is the thing, I simply don't know. On DCL, the character photos are a big deal for me and that element won't be there on RCL. I don't really know what to expect in terms of photo opportunities. I am also struggling to find out much by the way of information about the smaller/ older ships and what is on offer. Most of the information online is about the newer mega ships.You really enjoy the photos on your trips, will you be disappointed if you don't have them this time?
Now there is an argument.Aside from you getting pictures, I've really enjoyed looking at them on your TRs as well.![]()
I am glad that you pre-purchased this,All this discussion moved me to pay for my photo package for my cruise next week.
That is part of the problem. I really don't know what to expect. On NCL I would have loved to have a photo package as they took photos in every port as well as 4 or 5 backdrops per night. At the time this was not an option and I only have a handful of photos from this trip. I am just wondering if I would get enough photos to make this worth my while.I enjoy seeing the pictures of you as well, but without the characters would there really be that much draw to get a lot of photos taken?
I just would not. I would probably buy two or three if I had to buy them separately, but no more than that.Then on the other hand, you really like your photos, so having to purchase them separately might not be as good for you as if you got the package in the first place.
I am really looking forward to this. I am now officially on leave and most of the errands I had to run were taken care of today so I will have quality time to spend on here and my trip report for the next couple of days.Wow Corinna Khasab looks beautiful! The rest of the cruise sounds wonderful too.
I think I am going to go for it. Apparently you can let them know up to 3 PM on the last day of the cruise if you change your mind and you get a refund. If they run any specials on the ship, they pricematch as well so there really is no risk.Hmmmm, that's a difficult decision about the photo package. But without knowing for sure what you'd get I'd be inclined to just take my own photos instead.
I do like my soda. I will have a couple with lunch and dinner and another couple at some stage during the day when I am on vacation.I'd have to buy the soda package for myself, I enjoy soda that much, but I don't know how much you drink it.
