Baltic Sea Cruise, 2009
Hi Cruisers,
I need your suggestions in trying to arrange flights and shuttle service for the following. We are planning a Baltic Sea Cruise, or I think it is officially called Northern Europe Cruise in May of 2009 on Carnival's Liberty. We will need to ffly to London and from there, find transportation to Dover where we will board the ship. We are getting our cruise tickets through Vacations To Go but we were advised to arrange our own flight from Orlando to London as well as the transfer from London to Dover since Vacations To go can only recommend the cruise lines for flights and it was suggested that on our own, we could probably find much cheaper flights and transfers. So I was wondering what you might suggest as a place to look. I am thinking that we will probably have to fly too London the day before our ship is scheduled to depart from Dover in order to make it on time. Would it be possible to fly in to London from Orlando and get a shuttle from the airport to take us to Dover? Does anyone know how far it is from the London airport to Dover and which of the airports would be best? The ship leaves at 6;00 PM I think but of course, we will need to be there probably about 3 hours earlier in order to go through all the check in procedure at the ship. I would also appreciate any suggestions about going through customs at the airport and wonder how much time we should allow for that. Can you suggest any package deals that would include our air fare and shuttle to the port. I have found your suggestions in the past to be so helpful in other trips we have taken so I am hoping you can help us again. Thanks in advance for all suggestions. Cheers, Sandy |

Baltic Sea Cruise, 2009
i am doing this trip next august on the carnival freedom.
i found air from jfk to london via air france/delta half of what ccl would charge. it's too early for 09 but check kayak.com then the train from heathrow into london for a few nights. then we're taking the train to dover. limos etc are way expensive. check out the cruisecritic europe board for lots of great info several on rtc have traveled in london and i'm going to be picking their brains soon for things to do! sheree "Easy News" wrote in message ...

Sorry VtG can't help on line folks do have their restrictions. Try to fly in at least a day early and see London (at least some of it) You could pull up this years schedules for your dates to see what generally will be happening in a year and a half, though as we all know things do change over time. -- Joseph Coulter, cruises and vacations www.josephcoulter.com 877 832 2021 904 631 8863 cell |
