The balance of our May cruise is due next week, we have one overnight stop in St Petersburg unless of course Russia says no 

[CLKD]

Oh crikey ..........  . still, Boris went during the week and they let him out ;-)

However, with climate change the fjords may be frozen over 

[jaypo]

We did a baltic cruise a few years ago and loved it  this year its back to Copenhagen, Stockholm, Helsinki, St Petersburg and Tallinn new will be Visby (Sweden) and Gdansk in Poland.  Scandinavia is so lovely, it reminds me of fairytale towns. The fjords are lovely, I like when you can just walk off the ship and not need a shuttle bus.

How did you spend Christmas day on your cruise, it must have been good or you wouldn’t be going again

Road trip? Then you see more of the country and less of the inside of the ship 
I'm starting to wonder if I'm missing something here but it doesn't appeal to me at all. What's the attraction of a cruise?

[CLKD]

No washing up 

It doesn't appeal to me either, I would feel hemmed in.  Plus I would be unable to leave the ship to go on a coach to get anywhere of interest  ....... I felt trapped by the end of a week on the Isle of Wight  .  And it would be like me to have a week of rain 

I would rather stand in a field or on the top of Mam Tor looking at the view ;-)

[jaypo]

Hahaha yep,no washing,cooking,cleaning and every day you see a new part of a country,I'd have never have seen Norway if it wasn't for cruising,seriously Sheila,I'm not often moved to tears but the first time I was there, I opened the curtains in the morning and the beauty was indescribable (no I wasn't looking in a mirror    ) same as Madeira,not a place I'd ever go to and it's beautiful.
We go every year TH,it's just such a lovely atmosphere at Xmas,the ships decorations are fab and everyone is just so happy

It took a lot of persuading for me to go on my first cruise, I thought it would be crowded and regimented, with posh people dressed to the nines  its not 

The big appeal to me (who wont fly) is visiting places I wouldnt otherwise get to.  With the baltic cruise I’m going on in May I have an excursion to the Hermitage in St Petersburg booked, I wouldnt be able to get there any other way, but the food is good, there’s entertainment if you want, films, lectures shows, singers, quizzes. Its not just the destinations, its sitting on the balcony watching the sea or scenery drifting by, deciding if I can manage afternoon tea
