Good Cruises in Europe? Tryin to find a good cruise in Europe, preferably around the italy/spain area. Anyone know any good cruises for young ppl (20-30s)
Do cheap cruises to Europe from the US exist? I'm talking just a simple ship cruise, not one of those fancy $10,000 a ticket casino vacation cruise ships. Because I am terrified of airplanes, and a boat is obviously the only other means of traveling to europe, but I dont want to pay for two vacations. So is it possible for me to do that? Or will I have to somehow grow fins and just swim there? (because a plane is NOT an option, if I get on one again, I will probably have a panic attack and start screaming and make the news because I caused the plane to have to make an emergency landing to let me out)
Suggestions for transatlantic cruises leaving from Europe? I'd really like to go on a proper long cruise to somewhere exotic like the caribbean or wherever, and would really like to know what companies offer those sorts of packages. I'm also wondering, if someone has some experience with this, what's better: a transatlantic cruise or simply flying out to the states and then getting on a cruise ship there?
Europe cruise? I am planning a europe cruise. I was wondering if anyone know the best month and why? I just don't want to find myself visiting europe when everyone travels just want to avoid the crowds. Also I have a 3 year old, I am just not sure if I should take him. If do the euro cruise and decide not to take him, I have my mother who can stay with him. If anyone can give me an advise on that too sure appreciate it. any advise would help for my plan! :)
Backpack or Cruise Europe? I've backpacked through Europe/UK for the past three summers on a budget. Not a starving college kids budget, mind you, but cheaper B&Bs, mediocre restaurants, public transportation, etc. I've noticed that there are cruise lines traveling through Europe/UK; are these a better bet travelwise? They look pretty affordable, but I'm worried that in the long run I'll spend more money. For example, I know on cruises that your meals are included with the cruisefare, which is great, but when you are on a 7 day cruise, and 6 of those days are port days, from 7 am to 5 pm, it seems to me I'll have to pay for my meals while I'm in port, which seems to defeat the purpose of all inclusive food on cruise. Any suggestions or comments on this? Things I haven't thought of? New angles to look at?

Do you know a site about traveling to Europe by boat/ship/cruise? My father is a big man, not fat, but extremely big. He doesn't enjoy flying either and would prefer to come to Europe by boat. He was listening to NPR radio and heard about a 10 day cruise to Europe for 249.00 USD. I have searched and cannot find it, so I am searching for new options. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Can somebody give an idea about Who is the best vacation planner for a specific vacation to Europe? Hi, My name is Alex. My wife and I just went on our first cruise for either of us and we had a great time. Now we want to plan a more in depth and serious vacation and cruise to Europe, do the whole England, France, Spain, ect. I need to find an agency that can set up plans for tours, flights, tour guides, hotels and the cruise. I know that cruise lines can do that type of thing for you, but I want to find someone that will shop all the cruises plus set up a stint in England for a few days before the cruise actually starts. Is there any advice that someone can give me about the whole Travel Agent thing and the best way to get the most of our vacation? thank you for taking the time to help me with this.

Should I go to Europe right after I graduate from college in May or should I go this December? I want to do something big in May because I'll be graduating from college- which is a HUGE milestone. My sister (who's graduating from High School) my mom and I were planning on going on a cruise to Mexico because we're both graduating. But I don't want to go somewhere with her because my graduation won't be on the same level as hers. So, should I go to Europe for summer 2007 instead, or should I go to Europe this December and go on the cruise with my family in May? How much will I need to do both trips? Or should I do one or the other? It's hard to pick which one.

What can we use for spending money in Europe? Hello all, in three days my family and I will be leaving for Venice, Italy. Then we will be heading out for a 7 night Royal Caribbean cruise on the Eastern Mediterranean. Our stops include Dubrovnik, Croatia; Kusadasi (Ephesus), Turkey; Corfu, Greece; and Santorini, Greece. We've been told that American money is of no value in Europe, so what can we use as spending money over there, and is it possible to do currency exchange in any of these places?
