Babie,

That's a very good question... obviously this is in concept only, but fun to
think about never the less.

I know my wife Deborah would pick a Scandinavia & Russia Cruise, probably on
Princess Cruises, as her first choice. My first choice would be to go along
with what what she wants, for she definitely deserves it. And besides, I
would no have any problem with this itinerary, which would include
Copenhagen, Stockholm, Helsinki, Phillipsburg, Tallinn, Gdansk/Gdynia,
Berlin, Helsingborg, etc.

Likewise, we would also opt for a few days for both a pre- and post-cruise
hotel package, plus would have a pretty good handle on available shore
excursions. I'm very much into sightseeing, while Deborah is more on
cultural enhancement. Either way, we always take lots of pictures, later put
into an online photo albums to share with family, friends, clients and other
prospects.

We know we can do this on a budget, for our priority is not so much the
cabin or even where we are on the ship, but what we do and see while in
port. Likewise, to help fill in the blanks over this conceptual time period,
we would have no problem with taking some local cruises to Mexico, just as a
quick get-away.

Again, good questions. Thanks for asking.

Happy sailing...
