Thank you for your letter welcoming us home.
The cruise was a great success inspite of the closure of a swimming pool. It annoyed other guests as well and as far as we could make out it was repairs being carried out under warranty.
Calm seas, mill pond in the north Baltic, all the way save for a choppy return down the North Sea. Brilliant weather: wall to wall sunshine for the first twelve days and temperatures from 65-79 degrees. Enjoyed all our trips and Travemunde proved especially memorable as an officially estimated 20,000 lined the shore to greet our arrival at this port which never normally sees a ship of the Elizabeth's size. Possibly as many as 40,000 waved us off; an incredible sight with our National Anthem being piped through loudspeakers and a marching band playing. Food and service top notch but the extras soon add up!
One or two oddities: The requirement to bring a passport photocopy for the group Visa for Russia was never needed and no explanation was given. Some info, such as the need to convert currency in Estonia, was out of date. Estonia has been using the euro since the beginning of the year. Minor points.
Thank you very much for all your courtesy and setting up everything for us. We appreciate what all your staff did. It gave us the confidence to go on a cruise.
Yours sincerely,
Christopher and Maureen Savill
