i do see now that those short cruises are like from Wed. till Sunday or Monday. all are over shabbos.
Kosherica has a 4 day cruise from Sun - Thurs (on Norweigian) so it's not over Shabbos...  It's in winter to Caribbean, departs from FL.

I'd like to go away December/January time for 10 days using UR points. The Andaz Peninsula Papagayo in Costa Rica looks like the best bang for the buck currently. In previous years we stayed on different Caribbean Islands using SPG points but this year I'm more heavily weighted with UR and so would like to use those.

Any ideas?

Yeah, sounds more like it.
Was anyone ever on a non Jewish cruise over shabbos? is it even doable without chilul shabbos?

I was on a cruise that was done by kosherica, but the cruise itself is not theirs. They just have like 5% of the passengers onboard. You just won't be able to get on or off the boat on shabbos.

Andaz Papagayo looks great and Costa Rica is a cheap destination with Avios. If you have UR, go for it.

If you can store the bags in the airport, anywhere should be doable.

On that note, any suggesstions for a one day stopover in Zurich? Right now I am leaning towards LHR or ZRH..

Looking for someplace on the cooler side..

In ZRH they do it. IIRC it's $8 per bag.

In heathrow it's more, I think £10. But if you've never been to London, it's a place worth going.

We have done it in AMS And CDG. there are baggage lockers and for a small fee they store your luggage.
