Travel Forum / Travel Types / Cruises / October 2007

I am doing a cruise in December on Celebrity Summit. The Celebrity website
says " Bellboys are tipped as service is rendered". My sole knowledge of
bellboys is that it is a term used in the USA for people who would take
luggage to rooms after checking-in at Reception at a hotel. ...

We are picking up the RCL Brilliance of the Seas in Barcelona in December.
We need opinions on a hotel for two nights in Barcelona
We will need to get to the hotel from the airport and then get to the port 2
days later.

After a seven year Hiatis I am back and enjoying reading your posts. I am
considering a cruise in the spring of 2008 on Royal Caribbean. Do they still
allow smoking in their cabins as they used to. I no the whole no smoking
movement is wiping out most places to smoke. Thanks in ...

Our 8th document dance, for our 8th and 9th cruises (4 Princesses, 2
RCCL's and a HAL preceded this one).  This time for our first-ever
Celebrity cruises, consecutive trips on the Mercury:  Nov. 2 from
Vancouver to San Diego, Nov. 12 from Ensenada to Honolulu.

Anything new? Any ships leaving from Virginia?

Hi Guys, most of you probably don't know me, but a few of you (Hi Doris
and Dillon!) may recognize me from rec.arts.disney.parks.  Anyhow, I

I read somewhere that Princess is going to change to real bottles for
shampoo, conditioner, etc. instead of the cheap little cardboard

We are booked on the Oceania Insignia cruise from Barcelona to Rio de
Janeiro next month.  We will fly in to Barcelona where Oceania will pick us
up and transport us to the ship,  With recent discussions about Barcelona
pickpockets, we are wondering how much exposure to them we ...

We'll be sailing the NCL Dawn and Sun soon and were curious if anyone
knows which restaurants on the ship do and do not have the extra
surcharge.  There used to be a page on their website (so I've been
told) that outlined this.  Anyone know of such a page or if they have

I received this press release from Princess and thought it would be of
interest.  If you have missed any of my news' postings, they are
available on my web site.

2. TAKE VITAMINS OR HERBAL SUPPLEMENTS: These can't hurt and
there are plenty of travelers who swear by large doses of Vitamin C,
