Thank you so much for all the detailed information that you give which really helped us on a recent visit to Rome.
You have also responded to a request for information on Cagliari which loooks just as good. We are sailing on Celebrity
Eclipse in two weeks time and are really looking forward to it. Celia

Hi Lee
Just returned off RCB BOS Venice cruise

Many thanks for your advice via the link on Venice " the walk from Ship to St Marks square" lovely walk although not to good on the old pins the walk nice and gentle the heat was only problem. What BOS failed to mention was that from dock to Pizzale Roma was a shuttle bus

Could not fault the ship at all only how the company wants to rip you off on exhursions and shuttle services the cruises to be good value for money like for like with PO they are not realy,

Did Pisa,Rome by train no probs

Once again for your advice

Hi Richard
Once again I would like to thank you for the information very helpful
I am a new member and only just got to grips with how the forum work. Overlooked the link on Pisa
Last May was on IOTS did the Med Did Rome by Train and Florence by excursion hence why only want Pisa this time
Regards

Richard, you must read UNDERCLASS, a recent account (more akin to War and Peace) of Ventura, from Major Pratt of Chipping Sodbury, 4th April. He doesn't pull his punches. He managed to rattle the cages of 151 members. He's a little bit right of Attila the Hun, get my drift. He's over 65, so maybe he gets carried away a little ... prone to exaggeration. You know what these old ex-services buffers can be like. I think you'll learn a lot from his style. I'll know if you've taken anything on board (get it!!) in your future efforts..... Yours respectfully, Darloboy

I just tried sending you a private message. I got a pop up message saying 'DarbyRN, Lee-on-the-Solent has chosen not to receive private messages or may not be allowed to receive private messages. Therefore you may not send your message to him/her.

No, anyone can see this. When you click 'send privaate message' a seperate window will appear for the message and the recipient. I'll send you one

Hi Richard, Is this what you described as a "Private Message"!

Hi Richard,
Like many forum visitors I would appreciate some advice from you. Can you suggest the best way we can communicate - e mail, phone or the Old Ship!

Hi Richard I happened to see one of your posts about dining where you mentioned dancing... We are keen dancers and would be interested to know which ships/lines you recommend for ballroom dancing and/or jiving to good music. Many thanks. Linden

Hi Richard, New Queen looked great, watched it on BBC South. Hope to be on her by 2012, caravan year 2011. Hope you enjoyed your cruise we did. met your friend Dagama? Lovely person, very good at Receptions virtually 2 /weekx3. I Put on a stone in weight and thought of putting it on Cruise line Gallery but it will frighten the natives.
