And finally reading through my hotel confirmation email it appears ours (Hotel Artemide) also provides transfers to and from the airport and/or port at a competitive rate. Sorry about the double post
I have this crazy idea... tell me if you thought about this also....... Paris is less than a 2 hour flight away, I was thinking about going to Paris for a day, to go to DLP, then fly home.... Am I crazy?
Keep in mind that a 2=hour flight is actually more like 4 hours when you add the time to check in on the front end and getting your bags once you get there. Then you need to actually get from CDG to DLP. Yes, it is do-able.Paris is less than a 2 hour flight away, I was thinking about going to Paris for a day, to go to DLP, then fly home.... Am I crazy?
Not crazy at all. My husband and I have a layover on the way to Rome in Dublin so we made our layover a stay over. Gotta take advantage of everything you can when you travel. Never know when you'll get the chance to visit again! I say go for it!I have this crazy idea... tell me if you thought about this also.......

Hello all-

Their are two spots left if anyone is interested in the colosseum, the forum and ancient Rome. If interested let me me know. Date/Time 830am on March 22nd.

I have never been on a cruise before and am looking for some advise on wardrobe. I know comfortable shoes for the excursions. But can we get away with jeans on the excursions? How dressy is dinner on the ship? Should I pack a dress for dinner? Slacks? Any hints or suggestions as to what to bring are appreciated.
Well "elegant casual" it is. Thank you so much for the informationAll ships/cruise lines are a little different. Here is what Viking says on their site:
What Is The Dress Code?
Dress during the day is casual including shorts (if the season is warm), pants or jeans and comfortable shoes for walking tours. Swimsuits, brief shorts, cover-ups and exercise attire should be reserved for the Fitness Center, pool areas and Sports Deck. There are no “formal nights” in the evening; evening dress is “elegant casual” for all dining venues after 6:00 PM, performances and special events. On these occasions, required attire for ladies includes a dress, skirt or slacks with a sweater or blouse; for gentlemen, trousers and a collared shirt. A tie and jacket are optional.

Only other thing I would add is that it is Holy Week when we are there so if any excursions involve any religious sites you might want to et on a bit more dressed up/neat/respectful

For shore excursions I plan on wearing jeans or khaki style slacks along with my favorite broken in sneakers or flats.
I’ll be bringing long sleeve tees, light weight cotton sweaters and long sleeve blouses.
I have a light weight quilted vest, a suede jacket and a bulky knit poncho style cover up in addition to a blanket scarf for layering.
During the afternoon on board, I’ll probably have leggings and casual slacks to wear.
For evenings, I’ll be bringing dress slacks and some dressier tops to wear
No dresses, no heels
Working on making sure everything mixes and matches.
No odd ball colors or patterns that can only be worn once or with only one other piece.
Still hemming and hawing about a bathing suit for the spa pool???
I don't plan on bring any dresses either. Nicer slacks and tops for evening as well.
Jeans and such for excursions. Layers for the weather. scarf and maybe light gloves.
typical color scheme black and purple.
Somehow I guessed that!typical color scheme black and purple.
I believe yes. Let me check and I’ll pm you.Any chance you still have 2 spots left? I have been so busy with work I am just now catching up on the Boards.
