Shari Venice floods but not too badly usually. They had a small flood when we were there the 1st time. The musicians in St. Marks played on, they are on raised platforms. Kind of fun to see.

Thanks, Larry! I do really want to sail on her at some time, for sure!
Larry...were you ever in Venice in Oct? I heard a lady say that sometimes they are slightly flooded in Oct. At least the two times this lady went there. What was the weather like at the ports you visited in Oct.? Were all the tourist sights open?

Shari, Venice floods about 160 days per year; it's not river flooding - it's tidal, from the sea. The water rises enough to cover the streets by an inch or so and you just slog through it. Bring sandals. I think you will love the Equinox cruise, and if you book before the 15th, you get the free upgrade from interior to balcony - nice even with the slightly obstructed view.

When Kevin decided to join us on this cruise, Yuki immediately started planning to go places he's never seen before. Since our last family cruise was Greece and Turkey, we finally opted for the Baltic sea. We're booked in mid-July on Legend of the Seas, RT from Stockholm; it goes to Helsinki, St. Petersburg, Riga and Talinn. Kevin has never seen the Baltic (Yuki and I cruised from Helsinki to Stockholm way back when we were first married), but all of us will have a first in Russia, Estonia and Latvia. Should be fun...
