I prefer that and staying in the same cabin than taking two different ships with the second leg starting on another ship. Too much schlepping of luggage takes away the relaxation part. --Jean

In the > Caribbean, I'm usually ready to come home after a week. The 10 day I did on the Constellation a month earlier was the perfect length for me. Also have done three 11 day Caribbean cruises and one 10 day Panama Canal/Caribbean cruise. I liked the length of all those. A 14 back to back might be too much but until I do a back to back I won't know. I would want to do it like Barb and Tobie where the itinerary is different. They did a western and southern. Several ships on different lines alternate. Oasis of the Seas alternates. -- Charles

I wish Cunard > would have itineraries that take you eastward, let you stay a week in > London and then return the next week involving no trans-Atlantic air > travel. What you mention is actually done. I know that there were several this year (May and July). The ship will cross to Europe, then may do something like Norway for a week, during which you can stay in England till the ship returns for the return trans-Atlantic. On this side they have some that mix in Canada, or you can stay in NYC which is what most of the Brits do. Just remember to get a south facing balcony both ways. South balconies get the best sun, and not the cold air off the Arctic. > But Ed probably would not go for 13 formal nights! It's 2 formal nights IIRC. The casual nights just require a blazer or sport jacket with slacks like Dockers and a golf shirt. --Tom

I'm talking the OLD people. Charles has photos of some of those rooms.... like the one that had like 30 chairs just quietly sitting in the little room.... just waiting for the old people to be brought in for "hiding". But we found them. --Tom |
