Dear Cruise-friends,
I love cruising and in preperation to my ship's call I love to be informed what it is expecting me at the several destinations. The more you know the less you can be disappointed and have a great time to spend.
I love helping and but I am somehow frustrated if you get exactly the same questions like
on even days:
How do I get from Rome to Civitavecchia...
on odd days:
How do I get from Civitavecchia to Rome...
So I do not like to waste my time to answer to the same questions.
That's why I am changing the form. In this blog I can update from season to season and if I have new pictures I can add myself.
Later I can just add a link to my forum-posting to my blog where you find the answers.
Same type of answers like before, but easier for me to handle and just one click more for you. That's the difference.
Regards,
HeinBloed
