How do you post a photo from iPhone?

I learned yesterday, around noon, that our 6am flight to STT on January 4th was actually on January 3rd. I panicked, called Delta - hold times were “over 2 hours..”. I checked online. All flights to STT were ‘unavailable’. Delta later verified this.

I notified Mindi and called Amex travel hoping they could find us a room for tonight.

The only vacancy was at the Starz Hotel. The agent said it was close to the port and airport.

We made our flight this morning.

We arrived at our hotel less than an hour ago. I don’t have words for this room. It is the polar opposite of the Ritz.

Fingers crossed we don’t get bedbugs or burglarized. And we will be the first on board SeaDream tomorrow, guaranteed!

See you soon!!!

Happy Holidays! Bartender Greg from SDI has moved over to be the activity director on SDII. Alex is there dealing blackjack. Nicholi is the maitre d. I heard we may have a new captain. Will be in St. Barth at the same time as SD I. We have plans to meet up with Gareth and Antonia while there. Can’t wait to meet you and to enjoy SD again!

Just confirmed all reservations. Coming in on Delta, out on American. So excited! A little worried about Mindi shopping for 2 full days in St. Barts, but, otherwise, can’t wait! Our flight lands at 2:15, so will be a little late to board. Flight out of BGI at 5pm, so will need to find somewhere to go for the day. Our 3 kids are super excited too!

Just kidding, they are bummed to have to stay home again.

Can’t wait to meet at TOY and at the piano bar!

Zimmy, The last time we stayed at the Ritz, as well. We were given that same info, so by booked the day of - flight arrives at 14:27. So excited to meet you! It will be our 3rd seadream. Or fourth? We are excited to meet you! We always have the best time and meet great new friends!

Hey all! Mindi and I are looking at this trip. All suites are booked, yet all staterooms are still available. Does that mean anything, like owner friends/family?

This one looked good partly for 2 full days in Barths plus a day in Mustique while anchored in Bequia. Never been there or to St. Lucia.

Is there any way to ascertain which staff will be on SD II for this voyage - Gareth, etc.. I suppose it won't matter. We always have a great time.

Come join us!

John and Mindi Z.

Thank you for your ideas and insight!

After thoroughly enjoying SD II in the Caribbean last year, thought we would try out the southern ports of SD I. We chose this voyage for ease of flying in and out of St. Maarten and because it gives two full days and nights in St. Barth.

Are there any favorites when visiting Montserrat, Iles d' France, Saba, or St. Kitts/Nevis? A great beach, shop, restaurant, bar, or activity?

We typically don't do formal excursions. We enjoyed Shoal beach in Anguilla, the Baths in Virgin Gorda, and the bars and beach at Jost Van Dyke on the last trip. We just walked around the port in Tortola and St. John.

Thanks

I'm a little worried. No responses. Maybe we have the ship to ourselves...

We sailed SD II St. Thomas roundtrip last year. We loved St. Barts and are hoping our voyage on SD I on December 3rd will go as planned.

We met so many fun and interesting people on our last trip. We look forward to a similar experience.

Is anyone traveling on the same cruise? Any difference between I and II? How are the destinations? Any inside info about the ship making it in time for this sailing?

Just trying to start a thread pertaining to this sailing and past experiences.

That sounds good. Our flight lands around 4:30pm.

What is your favorite thing about Seadream?

This will be our first SeaDream experience. We are also staying at the Ritz the night before. I'm hoping for fun and good weather. Do you recommend anything special to pack or to plan for? We have only cruised on giant ships in the past.
