TRANS-ATLANTIC 9'4'to 9/14/03
We went on the cruise,and it was o.k.but had a lot of rough weather
15-20ft.waves,and lots of very strong wind.The ship was nice,but they had only a couple of shows worth seeing,1/MARTY ALLEN,And agroup of Father,/daughter/& son,they were very good,the cruise director left a lot to be desired. Would have enjoyed it more if they had had some dance music ,was hard to find anything worth while after 10.30,mostly kareokie,or game shows, Never put the bedspreads back on after day one,and our cabin steward never had the courtesy to thank us for our generous tip,we had it put on our bill. Also will never fly out of "LOGAN" airport in "BOSTON" It is a lousy airport,and the security guards acted more like the german gestapo than americans,they were very rude,and sarcastic,granted they have a job to do,but they could at least be polite Annie |

"CupCaked" wrote in message ... . . . and the ship was. . . ? We were on the Grandeur of the Seas also. We weren't able to go to Ireland because of rough weather. Halifax was substituted. We enjoyed ourselves and most of the shows. They had to cancel one production show because the seas were so high. It was quite an experience. There were several different age groups and I think it was really hard to please everybody on the ship. Disembarkation was endless. We thought we would be among the first groups off, but were close to the last. Boston was a pain. We had trouble getting transportation away from the pier. It was impossible to catch a cab as there were three ships docked. Don't even get me started on Logan and American Airlines.... Judy |

About 2800 people died because of planes that flew out of Logan. Security
is tight there, the tightest I have seen in the US. If it is not as tight at other airports you go through that is because the other airports are weak. "Annie Noname4" wrote in message ...

The ship was "GRANDEUR OF THE SEAS" ROYAL CARIBBEAN",also they kept the
lido closed at night,only place you could get a snack was up on deck 9 in the solarium,hamburgers,and hot dogs ,on stale rolls,only mustard or catsup,& relish ,no onions,tomatoes or kraut,like most other ships,and no coffee or tea,only ice water. they had a coffee machine on lido deck outside,but most times it was out of order.

JUDY: WE
made the best of the trip,and agree "LOGAN"is the pitts.What deck were you on,and what dinner seating,we may have crossed paths.Did you meet the women that they had lost all her luggage? But she made up for it by hitting the quarter machine in the casino for 500 quarters,and within 15 minuets hit the jackpot on the nickle machines. Annie |

Annie,
We were on Deck 8 and had a very attentive cabin attendant. We had late seating and sat at table 16 with two other couples. I hadn't heard about the lost luggage, although we saw some loaded onto the ship either at LeHavre or Plymouth. Good for her winning against nearly impossible odds!

How ironic. We were on a plane that was supposed to leave at 3 pm. We were
taken off the plane about 3:15 and put on another plane due to "fluid on the landing gear." We did leave at 4 and arrived in Baltimore and missed any rain. Sunday turned out to be the most stressful day of our vacation. Anything that could go wrong, did. It was an awful ending to a pleasant 10 days. Judy "Annie Noname4" wrote in message ...

I was just about to post the same thing. There is always been a fine line
between security and convenience, until 9/11 convenience was usually the norm. Unless we want more airplanes used as building demolition material, then we will need to put up with these "German Gestapo" tactics at airports. Frankly I feel it is a small price to pay!
