Hi all
Solo woman cruising on Ponant, Le Soleal Apr 2/19 from Honolulu to Maizuru, Japan.
Returning home on HAL, Westerdam Apr 28/19 to Vancouver.
Anybody out there to meet up for lunch/dinner ?

Hello DEB51, I am also taking the cruise in Sept to Colon, traveling single, looking to share transportation to Panama. Or even just best options. Have any ideas or research on it? At the moment my plan is to stay in Colon at a farm/hotel called La Granja Campo Y Aventura possibly do a jungle tour with my friend Mario. Looking to maybe find a group that would like to do that. Then ride the train into Panama on Monday, but it would make it so I would not see much of the city. (Train does not run on Sunday)
Any Help would be great or even just meet up on the ship

Hi Cheryl
try posting to the Monarch rollcall (see my earlier post)
I'm flying out on Oct 8... check out the other posts regarding a transfer.
Maybe CC people can meetup on the ship after safety drill or something.

It would be great if we could post to that one...I only noticed this thread because my pal Val posted to it...it will be fun to see you again Val😊.
I am hoping to share a transfer to PTY Oct 8.

I cruised on Pullmantur Monarch Sept 2016 from Bilbao, Spain to Colon, Panama. About 1,000 passengers for 14 days, lots of English speaking passengers, all crew spoke English. European flair to food so I loved it...some people didn't.
I am taking the same cruise again this Sept...so that says something!
-
Thanks Scott for the review...maybe see you on another cruise.

HI, Deb:
Nice to see you here.
I'm checking this cruise out and am tempted, too.
Might see you on the Minarch, again.

Hi Joan Hope you are well...Deb (where else have you been lately?)

Hi Joe
Are you taking this cruise again? I'm tempted...
Hope you doing well.

I had a fabulous sunny-ish day exploring San Sebastian.
And I figured out the cruise terminal issue.

I haven't asked the cruise line if it's possible to get off the ship in Aruba and fly home that day 9/30 but I'd like to do that. Did you have much of a problem getting them to ok that? The logistics of getting to the Panama City airport at 8am on my return are becoming worriesome so I'd be ok to skip everything after Aruba honestly.
and she sent me an email confirming the request from Pullmantur.

Hey looking through my docs, I can't find the address of where the ship leaves from. Could someone enlighten me before Saturday 🤔

Fab review...I can't wait for Sep 17 for my transatlantic!

I took the cruise May 28 from Cartagena, Columbia to Lisbon, my first Pullmantur cruise, and had a wonderful time.Naomi Helton
Hi Naomi (missyh51)
Were there theme nights in the dining room on your transatlantic? I'm just wondering if I need to pack the Hawaiian shirt :) or the white dress?

Just did my online check-in with Pullmantur...getting excited to get on with this vacation!

Hi everyone:
My husband and I are taking this cruise from Bilbao--getting off in Aruba. Would everyone on this roll call like to meet up on embarkation day--or the day after? If so, we could maybe arrange to meet somewhere at a certain time. Maybe to identify ourselves we could wear mardi gras beads? I think you can still get them at the $store.
If anyone wants to do this, just reply to this post and I'll keep a record of our names.
Doreen & Jim
Me too -Deb - solo from Vancouver, heading for Spain Sep 4 - let me look for my beads!

I took the cruise May 28 from Cartagena, Columbia to Lisbon, my first Pullmantur cruise, and had a wonderful time. I expected that the drinks would be low grade and was very pleased that even Baileys is on the list. Even if you want something not on the included list, the premium you pay is $1 or $2 .
The food was good, be prepared that there are breaks between meals that the buffet is closed.
The later dining was actually nice. And the language (my lack of Spanish) was not a problem.
When I found out the ship returned to Central America in September I wanted to take it back but my original plans had me back in the states at the end of August. I just found out I don't need to be back then and was thrilled I could still book this cruise.
I'm looking forward to making many new friends.
Naomi Helton
Thanks for the info Naomi.
I'm getting excited...leaving for Spain on Sep 4 and looking forward to Madrid, Toledo, Segovia, Bilbao, and San Sebastian before boarding the ship.
Can't wait to meet the people who have been posting on CC.

Hello all
I just noticed that a roll call has been started for this cruise if anyone's interested.

OK I bit the bullet and booked Bilbao to Aruba - traveling solo so I hope to meet up with friendly, chatty dinner companions for the Monarch's early (?!) dinner service...anyone?

Thanks in advance to other English speaking CCr's...this cruise piqued my interest but my very rusty Spanish scared me off. Now that I found this thread I see that I won't be the only one.
Is there anyone disembarking at Aruba? It's cheaper for me to get back to Vancouver from Aruba than Panama.
Ponant dress code - comments?
