Carnival Panorama…12/3-12/10- LIVE
MeganGC1983 posted a topic in Carnival Cruise Lines,
This will actually be my first time on a Vista class ship. I’ve never seen an “atrium” funnel in person, and I’m not sure how I feel about the lack of glass elevators. But, I’m sure I’ll adjust somehow, probably with help from the Cheers! package.
So join me as we fly to Long Beach on Friday, board on Saturday, and sail the Mexican Rivera for 7 nights of the same menus (you’ve seen previously), 3 ports (you are probably all ready familiar with), and adult beverages (plenty)! Let’s go cruising! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

LauraS,Live From Vantage Ocean Odyssey Mumbai to Singapore December 10, 2022
nh6mile posted a topic in Other Cruise Lines,
We arrived in Mumbai 2-1/2 days ago. We elected to book flights through Vantage that theoretically got us in a day early. What it meant was we added a night on our own at the Taj Tower in Mumbai so we would have a room waiting for us upon arrival. Many of those that did not do this had to wait in the lobby or restaurants two to eight hours for their room to be ready. We also booked through the hotel the airport transfer. Unless Vantage takes into account the early arrivals of flights into this part of the world I highly recommend you do this.

LauraS,Britannia Christmas 2022 Goes Live!!!!!!!
Megabear2 posted a topic in P&O Cruises ( UK ),
We had a comfortable night in the Hampton by Hilton which is attached to the North Terminal and thankfully it means we won't have to face the current minus 4 degrees outside just needing to wander 100 yards and up the escalator to check in.

LauraS,Live from the Island Princess 10 day Partial Panama Canal December 12-22
pkt1976 posted a topic in Princess Cruises,
I’ll make my posts dark purple so easier to find. I let the folks on my roll call know to feel free to share their experiences as well if they’d like.
Yes, this year I’ll have sailed on the newest and one of the biggest ships AND one of the smallest and oldest Princess ships. I’ve had three other cruises this year as well, twice on the Majestic and once on 😳 THAT ship, 😅the Crown restart cruise. We ended up getting a 50% credit so that put a nice dent in the price of this cruise. 5 cruises in a year is a first for me, and not something likely to happen a lot. It was a lot of fun though.

LauraS,Constellation - Live Ultimate Americas Dec 12
ggo85 posted a topic in Celebrity Cruises,
Check-in was one of the fastest and smoothest I’ve experienced on any ship or line. Have your stuff ready and the whole thing takes less than 5 minutes. Cabins ready at 1:00. Both suitcases arrived by 2:45.

LauraS,LIVE: CB Panama Canal Partial Transit Christmas Cruise 12/18/22 – 12/28/22
HBCcruiser posted a topic in Princess Cruises,
This is our last FCC Princess cruise - using up all the FCCs from our COVID canceled cruises. My DD and I were scheduled to take this cruise back in 2021 but we all know how that ended up. 🙄. We rescheduled to this year and so far, so good! I have never been to the Panama Canal, so this checks off a bucket list trip for me.

ceilidh1 posted a topic in Princess Cruises,
Background:
This sailing will be myself, DD (15) and DS (11). Joining us will be another family we met on a cruise and our friend from the US. Princess has been a long time favourite for myself and my kids, and all three of us have sailed them many times (even the 11 year has attained elite status).

LauraS,LIVE from the Koningsdam Holiday Sailing - Dec. 17th - Jan 7th - exploring my first Pinnacle Class ship 🤞
kazu posted a topic in Holland America Line,
My DD DH and I never booked winter cruises as it was too tricky to get out of Dodge. But this year I bit the bullet and wanted to run away from home 😉
It was touch and go for a number of minutes (or is that hours 😉) but I am here in San Diego and doing my first ever Holiday cruise which will span Christmas and New Year’s. I’ve been reading some negative comments on the Koningsdam but I’m going so we shall see what happens. 🤞 I’m honest though and call it like I see it so stay tuned.

LauraS,Live from the Moon
TheRampantSnail posted a topic in Silversea,
Ate in SALT last night. Caribbean menu is very interesting and was well executed. Service good in the restaurant and the bars. After dinner everywhere was sparsely populated. We had drinks in Dolce Vita and there were only four other couples in there.
We are in Martinique today docked right next to a Royal Caribbean ship - the noise from their public address system and "music" is very intrusive.
Tonight is formal night and we are booked into La Dame.

LauraS,Somewhat "Live" - Nov 19th Oosterdam 31-Day SA Cruise - Miami to Buenos Aires
GeorgeCharlie posted a topic in Holland America Line,
Unfortunately, the Internet is almost nonexistent! There have been some days where we could not send even a basic one-line email and one day it was down for maintenance for most of the afternoon.
So, it looks like I will be limited to posting text comments. Once we return home, I’ll likely do a photo review of the cruise.

Ben100014 posted a topic in Celebrity Cruises,
Embarkation, as always, was smooth for The Retreat, as X has this down to a science at this point. 15 minutes from pier to ship, with a stop in the lounge for some food. (we hadn’t eaten all day) Luminae Lunch, although slow because of the embarkation day rush, was good. Dinner was incredible, with one of the best waiters we’ve had on any line. Our Butler, Gene, has always been visible thus far and active in accommodating us. The concierge team was excellent and prompt in addressing all matters we had upon boarding. The service in general, as expected from X, is phenomenal.
