Best regards,

We will be docking in Zeebrugge on the Celebrity Century and would like
to see the city of Bruges.  The ship does run tours, but we would
prefer to take a cab ourselves.  Does anyone know if there are cabs
that go that far, that we could hire for a half day, and any idea of

Carol finishes radiation next Tuesday.  We're planning a party for
early September.  But not the week of the 24th.  This morning I booked
us a junior suite on the Rhapsody of the Seas.  We took a tour of the
ship Sunday and were pleased enough to book.  Didn't get a great cabin

NCL should have let Carnival Cruise Line buy them years ago instead of
that careless Star Cruises. What they did to the Norway was terrible!!!
I would love to see Carnival buy Star Cruises and do away with that
company name forever!!!

I would like to buy a Norway poster to frame. I sailed only on this ship
once, and had a very nice time. I would like hang a poster of this great
ship in my house. Does anyone know where I can purchase one, or a
company that sells ship posters?? Thanks!!!

Will be curious to see if in the next couple of weeks there is a
policy change in the on board duty free stores.  I am wondering if sales
will/have dropped due to transportation issues with getting liquor home
now.  You know sales are going to drop if people can't carry liquor off

To Whom It May Concern:
We came across this information in the trades and thought it would be of
interest to this newsgroup as well.
Happy sailing,

We are going on the Norwegian Wind Hawaii 11 day cruise on Nov. 18th, 2
days of which will be in Maui. I'm not much for going on cruise ship
excursions, so we are thinking of renting a car. Questions for anyone who
has been on this cruise. It says we are on Maui from 9 - 10:30 ...

Question: If a cruise ship were to have a problem, such as a terrorist bomb going off and the ship sinking, is there any area, which would be best for having a cabin? That is, if I book a cruise should I get a cabin in the forward part of the ship or the rear? What would be best ...

My family recently completed the cruise from Helsinki to Trondheim.
About 1/3 the passengers were russians from a St. Petersburg travel
agency.  Mostly Finnish passengers with a scattering of US and UK.
I was slightly disappointed in the (optional) evening buffet at e18

No more "booze" for you alkies to carry on bored!
