For next year's cruisers, when your credit card is charged at the end of each sector, make sure that the amounts charged to his and her's accounts add up to the total charged to the credit card. Ours didn't – there was an overcharge of $55. We know of a few other people that this has happened to. Waiting for an answer from the purser's office as to why, and what will be done. All my good instructions on how to get into Venice for nothing. Next year's cruise doesn't go to Venice which is sad because it is one of the most spectacular sail-ins in the world. Doesn't go to Dubrovnik either which was also very scenic. No doubt you have something just as wonderful to make up for it.
Dubrovnik yesterday. At the moment, we are sailing past the toe of Italy, through the Strait of Messina between Sicily and Italy and can see Messina Sicily. Just sitting on the balcony with a coffee, watching Calabria pass by. It's a hard life. Had a good day in Dubrovnik.Went by cab with Allan and Sally to the Old City which was very interesting and packed with tourists. We climbed up to the city wall on one side of the city and just meandered through the little laneways. I'm awfully glad that I don't have to carry my groceries etc up there. No cars and lots of stairs. We then went all the way down to the other side and climbed up to the walk around the walls . Once at the top of the stairs, it countinued up, up, up until half way along the walls, then down. It was humid and in the mid 30s. Great views from up there. Allan and Sally elected to stay in the old city and we'd planned to go to Cavtat, a seaside town south of Dubrovnik for lunch. Went in a small ferry with Barry and Rosemary and had a lovely leisurely lunch on the waterfront, looking at the beautiful views and the expensive yachts. Would be impossible to give people instructions to your house in Cavtat and also Dubrovnik – it's a brick house with a terracotta tiled roof!!!! Ha. Got back to the ship almost last minute again and hit the pool. Bliss. Having a lazy sea day today. I'm not going in to Rome tomorrow. John may go with Rick from Broken Hill – just for the train trip.

Gail I kept checking the bridge cam for when you went through the strait, then got caught watching something on TV and missed it... :-(
ReplyDeleteMaybe someone else on CC caught it for us

Gail - recommend every passenger get a statement printout every week and check their account....... the volume of errors on our world cruise is much more than I would expect from Princess.............. perhaps accounts staff are graduates in creative accounting 101. You can see that there are many senior, senior passengers who may not be so adept with checking their statements.
