We arrived home last week from the Alaskan cruise. As an update, probably only 10% of men wore tuxedos, clearly the ones who had been cruising for years, although the "most cruiser" was not wearing...

We just got back from a Sapphire Princess cruise. The ship arrives and leaves local time but you make the time change overnight a couple of days into the cruise.

Formal Night on Alaskan Cruise

Done deal! My husband said that if there were more than 10% he would take his tux. Just don't want to look like a "show-off".

formal night on Alaskan cruise

I hesitate to post this as the issue of formal wear has been addressed many times previously.
My question is a little more specific. We already have the formal attire and enjoy wearing it but are...

zumba classes

Does Princess still offer zumba classes on the sea days? There was a lot of advertising about the classes a year ago but haven't seen any recently.

Price reductions

We have received price reductions for some cruises when the price has dropped after we have booked it. I know there is a cut-off for getting the new price, such as 75 days or 60 days before...

QM2 - Masquerade Ball

This is perhaps a continuation of a thread of a month ago. I've now found out that on our Transatlantic crossing there are four formal nights, one of which is the Black and White Ball, and another...

QM2 Black and White Ball

Picking up an old thread, but we are traveling westbound on August 29 and I've read about the different kind of balls. Does anyone know if these are standard on Cunard cruises? We leave for Europe...

We just got off the Elation yesterday and he was one of the two comedians onboard there. I agree, he's very funny. So was the other one too - Carl Faulkenberry.

I have not been to Coba but have been to Tulum and Uxmal. Tulum is not as spectacular as Uxmal or Palenque but if you have never seen Mayan ruins it will not disappoint. What makes it particularly...

Addendum to what I just wrote. I did a search on the Cliff Walk after the last posting and that jogged my memory. We did not complete the Cliff Walk as the path deteriorated after a couple of miles...

I don't know if this answer is too late for you, but a couple of hours would cover visiting the museum, excluding travel time. It should be fairly low down on your list of places to visit in Rome.
