I am going on this trip in April and I have never done a cruise before so has anyone out there been on this one before? As I would like to know what it was like, do you get off at every stop and if there is no Just You rep who looks after us on the cruise? Also do we have to pay for anything on board the ship? like drinks ect if so how do we do that if its cash what sort of money do they used on board & who else out there is going on the trip?

Hi Glynis. I'm going on this trip too. My first cruise. Would really like some feedback from anyone who went last year. V

Take care,

Bob

Hi this is also my first Cruise not sure what to expect, but I do hope the weather is nice and warm. So I guess I will see you then.

Hi though i'm not going on this cruise i have been on a cruise before and usually you can change money on board for when going ashore, a rep usually accompanies tours ashore, on board you don't normally pay for anything in cash and you'll prob just have drinks to pay for which are charged to your cabin, this you can pay off as you go or check your bill whenever but allow 24 hrs for your bill to be updated, you will probably have a bill card on board which they swipe when you use at bars and in shops etc also you will need this when leaving and returning to the ship for security purposes and stops at port are normally for the day of around 12 hrs you sail at night, some ports are right in the center so not always a need to go on every tour or you can just stay on the ship will be lots going on day and night, but you can ask ben your editor for any information you need on this particular cruise, hope this helps, enjoy, dave

I think someone has already answered most of your questions and I can add the following:-

If we want to spend cash in Cape Town we'll need South African Rand. Ditto for Genoa - for cash we'll need Euros. On board the ship, the MSC Sinfonia, they use US Dollars.

I'm waiting to be told what the temperature will be in the various locations and will let you know when I get the info.

As the last person has said you don't have to get off the boat when it stops for a tour or whatever, it's entirely up to you.

Likewise I've always had a Just You rep and he/she and us "more seasoned travellers"! Will hopefully be able to answer any more questions and put you entirely at ease.

I can honestly say we've always had a good laugh on all the singles holidays I've been on.

If you can think of anything else which hasn't already been covered, I'm only too happy to help.

Look forward to meeting you - less than 3 weeks to go now!

Sheila

When I booked in Feb I was told that 40 people were already booked so we should

have Good mix. Looking forward to meeting everyone

Sheila

Thanks for the information on how many of us are on this Cruise & it sounds like a good mix, I agree with you I also hope the sea is nice and calm. Mind you I have been on ferries when the sea was rough and I was okay so hope I will be on a Cruise Liner.

Looking forward to meet you only ten days to go now, so see you all then.

Glynis

Look forward to seeing all of you on Thursday.
