We’ve done the World Wine Tour before and I was very disappointed too. There were four stations with a wine steward at each who was in charge of describing five different wines to however many people were standing there at the time. A huge hassle, lots of work just to find out anything, and none of the wine was really good. IMHO they use this activity to get rid of wine that isn’t selling.

Wonderful pictures!! Thank you for bringing us along on your LIVE report!

Oh my gosh! This was me on Silhouette at Lawn Club Grill! I had a burger, but the texture was so odd that I kind of freaked out! And I don’t normally have a problem with food texture! I can’t believe you were able to eat half of it!

So excited to follow along! Silhouette is our favorite ship and I would love to do a transatlantic one day! Although I think I would prefer to sail West and gain hours as the cruise progresses. Sea days are heavenly and it's great that the ports are spread out! 🚢🍾

Oh I’m so excited to follow your full transit! I loved your Galapagos Live and got such great information for our upcoming Galapagos cruise in September! We did this cruise in 2018 and it is still one of my favorites!! In fact, I would love to go again!! Have a wonderful trip David and Marcia!

S-Class World Class Bar: El Don Julio!! The best!!

I am really enjoying your review! Keep up the good work!

I’ve really enjoyed your quick snippets so far. Thank you for taking the time!

Thank you so much for your wonderful LIVE. Safe travels to Utah and then home! Congratulations on the new grand baby - we are expecting our first grandchild in July! 💙💙💙

How did you go about hiring a driver and guide? Do you have contact information? We're looking for a guide who's willing to just play it be ear with us and see what we want and for how long.

Well today was when we were supposed to arrive in Sydney 😞. I’m very anxious to follow along on the cruise and see what we had to miss. We hope you and Iain have a fabulous cruise! 🚢

Looking forward to hearing all about the Ascent!

Looking forward to following along! Thanks for doing this and being so upbeat and positive! Cheers! 🍾

Wonderful LIVE! Can’t wait to hear about your time on the ship too!

Looks like Mr. Norwaylady is enjoying the warmer weather already! Depite the rain!

I’m so excited to follow along with your Live! I adore your writing style and ability to see the positives in sometimes negative situations. We love Equinox, it’s probably our favorite!

Excited to follow along with you on an exciting cruise! For cruises 2 and 3, you could make all your comments on Jim’s thread - he always welcomes that!

I would agree that Apex is probably better for the Caribbean and warm climates, so that you can really take advantage of the Retreat Deck. However, we were on Apex for a cooler cruise (British Isles and Iceland), and the Retreat Lounge was awful, because that's where everyone was, and not on the Retreat Deck. It was almost always overcrowded and was often difficult to find a place to sit, let alone a comfortable place, as Jim explained. And the overcrowding was worsened by the increased number of suites on the E class ships. We're going back to S class suites now unless it's the Caribbean.

Have fun! Can't wait to follow along! Would also love to hear a comparison with HAL!

Those who feel so entitled, like these people obviously do, probably wouldn't even be bothered by a picture 😆

Hi Jeannette, I'm really looking forward to following along with you. I like this itinerary! I'm so sorry about your 13 yo 😞. So tough to deal with the possible loss of a treasured family member.

Love your dress! You look beautiful!

THIS!!!! ☝️

We were in a Celebrity Suite on Apex in August. The Retreat areas were so crowded it was very frustrating most of the time. I believe this is because they've added so many more Sky Suites on the E-class than the S and M-class ships. Now they're going to add even more people???!!

I feel bad for Jeremy, but what an incredible husband to do this for you!!! Keep calm and cruise on...
