(attempt at!) Live/semi-Live - 1st time HAL cruiser - Westerdam Hong Kong to Tokyo
Tigerlily75 posted a topic in Holland America Line,
I did my first cruise in 2015 when I won it in a competition. It was an 8 night Carnival Spirit cruise from Sydney to the South Pacific Islands. I liked it so much I did two more, and then did a transatlantic on NCL Epic in 2019. So it’s been five years!

LauraS,Post in Live from the Koningsdam 1-30-24 RT Hawaii
misguy posted a post in a topic,
The walk over from the hotel was easy, 1 block downhill to the waterfront and about three blocks of so to the cruise terminal. Cheryl stopped and shot some video and took pictures as we went along. We passed the San Diego Maritime Museum, which looked interesting and at least partly accessible.

LauraS,Reflection LIVE 2/3/24-2/11/24: 8 Crazy Nights of ABC Islands
GenerationX posted a topic in Celebrity Cruises,
Well, it’s been a little under 4 months since my husband Jeremy and I wrapped up our incredible 2 week Mediterranean adventure on Beyond, but with everything we’ve gone through in life since then, it feels more like 4 years.
After surviving a hectic end of year for both of us at work and a tragic loss in our family over the holidays, we found ourselves in a deep funk that we’ve been struggling to shake. We decided what maybe what we need to reset is to get away asap for a week of sun and sea!

LauraS,LIVE-Prima Feb 2-9, 2024 from Galveston-Western Caribbean with PICs, Haven (HE)
graphicguy posted a topic in Norwegian Cruise Line,
I have been sailing solo for a little while. Have a (on again, off again, on again) GF. We're on, again. Issue has always been, I'm retired. She's not. She also lives two states away. That's been the crux of our issues. So, I can go whenever I want. She can not. Given the holidays, she's been able to use up vacation time. But, for her, the vacation clock resets in the New Year.

Sailaway is at 4pm and the game will start a few hours after that so I expect to be sandwiched in the Sports Bar on The Venezia unless the game is showing on the tv's in the casino which usually provides a better viewing opportunity.

LauraS,Taking a getaway on the Breakaway - Almost live, maybe....
G-DawgMN posted a topic in Norwegian Cruise Line,
We booked this cruise (Wife and myself) over a year ago, for us it was a steal, inside room (boo), Free at Sea including BOGO airfare. With the military discount it came out to $2100 which I think is a great value. The travel agent also tossed in $50 OBC and paid the DSC. Just like our Epic cruise last year this will be over our anniversary.

LauraS,Live - MSC seascape from Miami 27 Jan
Ryan82 posted a topic in MSC Cruises,
Keep hearing the Seascape is experiencing choppy waters so hoping that we'll avoid it.
Bit shocked by the prices of food and drinks so far but appreciate we're in a really touristy area.

LauraS,Semi Live from Celebrity Eclipse - Antarctica 14 nights from Buenos Aires
Kos123 posted a topic in Celebrity Cruises,
This is our 2nd cruise and first with Celebrity so we are pretty much newbies and have nothing to compare our cruise experience with, so it’s going to be super subjective 🙂
I couldn’t find much info about this particular cruise so starting a thread with pictures and thoughts for people who research it.
We spent a week in Buenos Aires before embarkation — such a beautiful city with colonial architecture, great food and variety of things to do. 3-4 days should be enough to experience it all and we generally felt safe there just by using common sense.

LauraS,Live From Celebrity Reflection: 6 Day Caribbean 1/28-2/3/24
jam19872016 posted a topic in Celebrity Cruises,
I'm getting ready to sail out for another adventure on Sunday and I plan to do a live review of my time on board. This time I will be sailing on the Celebrity Reflection for six days. After two of my last three trips were 26, and 56 days, this cruise is going to fly by in the blink of an eye, but I am excited for a little mini adventure none the less.

David Kane posted a topic in Celebrity Cruises,
Good Evening.
It’s been a year since our last Celebrity Cruise, and it’s been 10 years since we first started cruising, so we figured why not get around to doing something we haven’t before and book a back to back on the Ascent. No more getting marginally depressed on the Thursday during the cruise – now we get to remain on-board and greet the next cruise’s arriving guests – presumably standing in the middle of the pool wearing a top hat.

BermudaBound2014 posted a topic in Norwegian Cruise Line,
We just debarked from the Carnival Celebration and dragged our luggage down the pier. This port is a total cluster with the marathon. According to our celebration group page, it took 2 hours to get an Uber and another 90 minutes to get to the airport. I believe it.

LauraS,Live from the Emerald Princess - Panama Canal - 1/22-2/6
fpsphil posted a topic in Princess Cruises,
Starting up this live from thread as we embark on our 15 day Panama adventure. We booked this cruise over a year and a half ago and have been really looking forward to it for quite some time and it got enhanced a few months ago when my work announced a conference down here in Miami and a company retreat on a Carnival cruise last week. That meant not just flying out here and jumping on the ship back to LA but getting to extend and bridge the gap between that and this cruise by flying back to the Bahamas and escape the winter cold. This cruise will be amazing contrast after what we just experienced on a “fun” ship…

Sulialto posted a topic in Princess Cruises,
On board at 10:40am! Went directly to the Sanctuary & secured front row lounges for all the times we wanted to- INCLUDING the canal! Secured a spot for the Caymus Wine Pairing Dinner, all by 11:30am. Lunch in Reserve Dining in MDR was delicious & love our servers David & Kevin. Rooms ready at 12:30.
1st dinner excellent & always recommend the Pot Roast (never disappoints) & of course soufflé & crème brûlée! Fun games in Explorers Lounge, especially loved Musical Bingo! Off to an outstanding start!

LauraS,Adventure in Madagascar, 1/13/24 to 1/26/24 aboard Le Champlain
As we were finishing up our wonderful Arctic cruise aboard Le Commandant Charcot, I wrote that we had already reserved this trip. Although we have traveled extensively throughout Southern Africa, we had never made it to Madagascar despite the promise of magnificent vegetation, animals and the opportunities to acquaint ourselves with the cultures there.
