WBRepo-Ship of Thieves-Remember the Magic Pt5

[gaylean93]

I had posted this on another site (fodor's) and this is what I got as replys.


Is there a better time to cruise this area? Most cruises I've found are from May-September.

Any opinions are greatly appreciated.

Monica

Actually that is the best time to go there. Otherwise its too cold and too dark. Try going in June. You will have about 20 some hrs. of daylight. Don't forget how far north that is and how dark it gets later in the yr.

You really do not want to go to the Baltics in October.

In fact I think that Princess lines has their last cruise to the Baltics about mid September.

Go, as jacketwatch has mentioned ...when the weather is warm and the daylight days are long

We were there in early July and it was almost too nice. Warm days, long days. It was at least 11 p.m. in St. Petersburg before it got dark. I wish we had gone in May or Sept, in part to avoid some of the crowds and in part for a little cooler weather.

The weather can be fickle. We were there from June 11-21. St. Petes then was cool and very windy. A light jacket was needed and Helsinki was actually windy, rainy and pretty chilly to the point we cut short our shore time. Otherwise it was nice but never warm to the point you wish you had shorts ans were perspiring.

Well it sounds cold to me if you can't wear shorts but the 20 hour long day sounds alright. We might leave Rockin Bar D before the sun goes down.

OH MY GOSH, that would be awesome if I could ever afford it!

28 days - that'd be cool....but I bet it's PRICEY!

Well you can have it all for the low price of $3399.00 but you do get a $300.00 on board credit and I wouldn't have to fly home.

Why not? Go ahead and kill our fantasy

I actually don't think that's a bad price for that many days. Too bad I could never get that much time off work!

Not so bad for you but unless there is a discount for the third and forth person, it would be 16,000 for us. That is an inside room.

Goodnight to you Nan. I was worried you were not going to sleep again.

not only did I sleep like a log, but NOW after Torture Class (yes Boot Camp) I'm ready to take another nap, but I can't since my house cleaner is in the house I have to sit at my desk...

 

[lillygator]

Monica what are you talking about?

I see that DCL is going to Copenhagen in 2010? I would like to do the repo for that!!

Well had a great time this weekend. Partied it up...yesterday we went to Lake Alice saw lots of Gators adn went to teh bat house on campus. the girls loved it.

 

[nskjerven]

Did you look at their list of locations? And even so, there might be one soon. The first one opened in June of last year and they're spreading very quickly, so keep a lookout!

We didn't end up going, will save that for another Sunday. After 5 hours of walking at the zoo, we were both worn out and just wanted to get home.

yes I looked at the list, it's mostly in the midwest, one in AZ. If is does well I'm sure it will end up here sometime soon.

Was it that bad? Why do you have to sit at your desk when the house cleaner is there?

 

[granmaz]

Just don't fancy it for some reason.

Hello. That sounds like fun. We partied it up too and now I'm having a mellow Monday even though I have so much work to do and I'm hungry and have no food so I have to go to the store.

 

[gaylean93]

Just don't fancy it for some reason.

I would love to go to Peru but obviously could do without Acapulco.

 

[lillygator]

Aca is not really on my return list either.

 

[Tink rules]

got my pre cold sleep patterns back so I'm sooooo tired and headed to bed.

Be warned tomorrow at 9:30 I have boot camp. Good thing you all live just far enough away to not have me on your doorsteps whineing...

Gaylean, when are you going to the fart farm????

We have to look slevt (sp) good for that Baltic adventure in 2010

nite everyone

Nan... should we try lipo??? Maybe get a nose job too... btw... if you're close to me... you can whine all you'd like... I'll be right there with ya!!!

Monica, you were norty on our cruise???

Just had loads of fun

So much so that she lost her voice!!!

Well, I may have exaggerated that number a bit But, since I got sick I haven't really had the energy to fold laundry so, I'd wash some and then leave them in a basket and dig for clothes every day! I decided I was tired of that.......bad housewife......thankfully Scott doesn't mind and has stuck with me!

Ok... you have been excused... but if you have ironing to do... Marilyn's doing some today... (although it's almost her bedtime )

 

[gaylean93]

Aca is not really on my return list either.

I know a few people liked it but most didn't. If I'm going to back to a place I've already been then it has to be great.

 

[gaylean93]

Hi Michelle. How was your weekend?

 

[nskjerven]

You are only snobs when it comes to verandas?????

oh come on, I'm a snob about lots of things. Do you really need or want the list?

 

[gaylean93]

How about this one Marilyn?

I meant to post the one of them with Bubba and V on Hawaiian night but I guess it was missed. Sorry Molly.

no harm, or foul you know that Molly's pics are all over this and every other thread I think we all know who she is by now
