I love watching Turner Classic Movies and they have cruises themed for classic movies. I seriously doubt I would ever go on a TCM cruise due to the cost (US Dollars) versus my income (Canadian dollars).

Hi Ria
Thanks for that explanation. I understand a bit better now. I think I had heard the thing about the no lines and restaurants being open. I guess I just didn't belive it with all those people!
I guess it would make more sense to me if the destinations were tied in with the theme...
Glad you had a good time. Which celebs were on board?

Which celebs were on board?Actually, the cruise tried to have fun with the excursions by renaming some of them after Star Trek locations like Rigel 4 and others. Hard for a cruise ship to travel in space :-) www.startrekthecruise.com/cruise-info/the-crew/ this is the "crew list" for the 2019 Star Trek cruise. Marina and Will are new but the others were on star trek cruise !!, you would see them at their events or pass them in the hallways or dining rooms but they had separate quarters set apart from the standard cruise guests.My favorite place to eat was "Finnegan's", an Irish sports bar, renamed for a character from TOS . It was quiet at 7:00 in the morning and served a great breakfast as part of the tour package. |

Ted, one thing I learned from this cruise is there's a good chance to get a room at heavily discounted prices if you order closer to the sailing date. I ordered early and paid for the cruise on a payment plan. As the sailing date approached they bumped me up to a nicer room due to slow demand.

Ria, I guess it's like any of the popular destinations: it's all in the timing!
