Baltic Cruise in June
We are inexperienced cruisers but since we expect to be in Scandinavia in
June, a cruise on the Baltic to cities and countries we would not normally expect to visit is appealing. The 10 day trip on the Grand Princess out of and back to Copenhagen looks very attractive. The trip includes Stockholm, Helsinki, St. Petersburg, Talin, Gdansk. We already have one quote from an online cruise site that appears to be a good deal, relative to other posted prices. We will appreciate any experiences on this ship/line/cruise, etc., as well as any cautions on dealing with the various online cruise sellers. TIA. George |

Baltic Cruise in June
We did that cruise a few years ago with Princess and loved it. We also
stopped in Oslo. It's a great trip, lots of stuff to do in those port cities, and you may find that you take a liking to some of those cities and have to go back. I would plan on an extra day or two on either or both sides in Copenhagen, that is a great city. "george" wrote in message hlink.net...

George George, this is a GREAT way to see the area, as so many major cities are all right on the water. I did a 14-day Celebrity cruise (rt London) and would prefer it to Princess, although sailing out of Copenhagen would have benefits. I just like the Constellation better than the Grand P. As far as getting a good price, try a reverse ad on www.cruisemates.com, or contact some of the TA's who post here regularly for quotes, especially if you know the class cabin you want. I generally pay less than the quoted price on Vacations to Go, which seems like an okay online agency (certainly has excellent presentation of discount cruises). My only caution would be to get travel insurance and make sure you get it when you book, so you can qualify for the "preexisting condition" waiver. Just to reiterate, I would rate my Baltic crusie on the Constellation 10 out of 10 Mason Barge "If this is coffee, please bring me some tea.

Just to reiterate, I would rate my Baltic crusie on the Constellation
10 out of 10 Very interesting, we booked the 12 day itinerary in August. I'm hoping to escape the Carnival crowd that has invaded my Celebrity space. |
