Default 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

. . . 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....

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.

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.

p.m.everyone was on board plane,and 15 minuets they took everyone
off,the plane had no brakes,boarded another 1/2 hour later,started to
taxi out,only to be put on hold for 20 minuets because
phila.international had stopped all incoming flights due to a severe
thunderstorm alert,was never so glad as we were when we finally reached
our home in jersey. 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.

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!
