Live From The Last Frontier: 6/18-25 Westerdam R/T From Seattle
ACorgan posted a topic in Holland America Line,
This is the first cruise I’ve ever booked a guarantee room for, so was a little nervous, but by 6/4 (2 weeks before the cruise), we had already received our assigned room. Our guarantee was for a SC and we ended up with a SA, so I’m not mad about that one 😁 We had also been waitlisted for main (late) fixed dining, but on our current paperwork, it looks like we’re secured for that. I’m still working full time, so we tend to splurge on our cruises and get a suite since we have such limited time to travel. I may also have to do a tiny, teensy bit of work while on vacay, so we’ll see how the internet situation on the ship works out.

LauraS,Venezia 1st cruise out of NYC to Bermuda June 15
shof515 posted a topic in Carnival Cruise Lines,
Embarkation at the terminal is somewhat disorganized. At the terminal they check the boarding pass documents first when you walk into the terminal, then security and then boarding the ship. Make sure to have the boarding pass printed out on paper. A digital copy is not accepted. There is a separate line to print out a copy if needed. they can be a long slow moving line outside that terminal that can snake down to the other piers.

LauraS,Barely Live review Iona to the Fjords 10/6
Deeliteful posted a topic in P&O Cruises ( UK ),
I am cruising with my friend Lynda who has cruised before but never to the Fjords, this is my 3rd cruise to the Fjords and 33rd cruise in total.
We caught the coach at Wetherby and had a driver with a sense of humour, although we weren’t sure at first when he told us there will be no comfort breaks, toilet on board was for emergencies and liquids only! 😱

LauraS,Sisters Sailing Scenic Scandinavia June 12-22 Live report
Azulann posted a topic in Viking Ocean,
My sister and I booked this cruise over a year ago.
She and I did two Viking Welcome back cruises during the pandemic. Sailed Orion around Bermuda and Malta to Barcelona on the Venus in 2021. Both cruises were wonderful vacations during some trying times.
Now so excited to do the unique Scenic Scandinavia cruise.

LauraS,Bourbon and Bottles a live review on Oasis of the seas - June 9th
DeerJod posted a topic in Royal Caribbean International,
This cruise will run the boring New Jersey to Florida to Nassau to cococay route. What is slightly unique is that this is a Friday to Friday cruise which means we get back and have a few days to readjust to real life before work on Monday.

LauraS,🛳️🏝️🍹🥩 Semi-Live Trip Report: Wonder June 4-11
OCSC Mike posted a topic in Royal Caribbean International,
Background
This is a "bonus" family cruise for us after my generous FIL had such a good time on last year's family cruise (we normally take one every 5 years as the anniversaries of my wife's parents, her sister, and our own are fairly close together (May-June) and different multiples of 5 years apart).

I wanted to try Celebrity to look for a new “home” since I do not feel like I personally fit with NCL lately.
I blog about all my cruises so feel free to read all about it or the more minute details of this cruise as well. Alpacamybagsblog is where you can find all the details you do not really need and pictures as well.

LauraS,Majestic Princess / June 17 2023 / Semi-Live Trip Report w/ Pre-Cruise AK Adventure … Let’s Go!
Fishbone posted a topic in Princess Cruises,
Some of my preliminary research was done via TripAdvisor, so my first few lines below are essentially a re-post of what I originally posted there in anticipation of this trip. It’ll give you a nice summary of our initial preparations. Our travel officially kicks-off next week, as we’ve included an 8-night road trip through Alaska in advance of our cruise.
I thought I was writing my trip reports for my son (who turned 13 just a few days ago), but I suppose they’re really for me. He’s growing up so fast & time seems to be slipping away. Sigh.

LauraS,Live from the Seascape YC 5/28-6/4
missthesea posted a topic in MSC Cruises,
We had to fly out the morning of embarkation, which was stressful and pretty tiring. It just couldn't be helped this time. We walked up to the white YC tents at Terminal C and were quickly brought up with a few other families to the YC waiting area. This is not a fancy waiting room, but there was plenty of space to sit and we only waited about 10 minutes total. It was busy, but it seemed like they had a process going to quickly get people checked in with their wristbands and turn in paperwork. A butler came down and took a small group of us up to the YC.

LauraS,Allure of the Seas June 4-11, 2023
Lionesss posted a topic in Royal Caribbean International,
Click to Cruise Along!
Has been a wild and crazy year so far. So this is our cruise to relax, lay back and just go with the flow. Minimal planning, few excursions. Just taking our time.
We were surprised when Allure was relocated to a new port …… but I guess RCI had to pick a ship to go and as a groupie we too shall follow.
To begin with, this is our casino comped cruise and we booked it almost a year ago. Also we were able to upgrade to a CLS for a nominal fee. ( yup pre-paid the cruise to the casino slot machines). Then the cost of all cabins really soared. We were sticker shocked at some of the rates. But happy we were locked in.
So over the years, you win some and lose some. Here was one of more memorable winnings.
So as the last few days of preparations are undertaken, packing and organizing being the most important, I better get moving so I will be ready.
So wish me luck as I get my act together.
And updates as well as “SUEISMS” could be posted at any time.
So for now………SEA YOU😃
