having so much difficulty getting something booked I would feel better
if I learned someone had a good experience with them.  E.K.

arrrive in Stockholm on Thursday, July 24, at 7:00 a.m. One flight
departs at 9:10 a.m. and the other at 10:20 a.m. We are trying to
figure out which flight to take.

We are booked on HAL's Zuiderdam in November.  One of the stops is St
Thomas.  HAl does not offer an island tour of St. John on our cruise.  
We have been to St Thomas three times and would like to take the ferry

I promised a review, so let me give it a try.

We are going on a cruise out of London (Harwick) next June and are
starting to look around. We want to come in the day before stay
somewhere relatively near the tourist sites such as Buckingham Palace,
etc. The next day head to the boat.
