Hi again,
After spending the whole day ( and getting sticker shock!!) looking for hotels in London and looking at travel books I'm getting more into the trip.
Bob and Frances, it is sooo reassuring to read your post because I know you are Regent cruisers. So, if you liked the QM2 then it can't be bad :) !
I didn't even think about the change of time issue. I decided to do it Eastbound because I have always wanted to sail out of NY . I was afraid that coming into NY would be too early in the AM and I would be half asleep! That's what happened to me in the Baltic cruise when we sailed into Stockholm, I missed all that because if was too early.
Yes, I will PM you, thanks for the offer!
