We see the Viking ships sail past us at our summer place on the St.Clair river when they do the Great Lakes. They look so majestic cruising down the river. I always try and go down to the river to see them.

That night photo is AMAZING!!!  I know right where you were when you took it - I live on the other side of the river. I never seemed to be near the river when they came thru but saw many photos after the fact.  None of the photos were as good as yours.

I am normally not a “sweets” person, but those things are delicious!  I was thinking of trying to make them when we got home!

If you ask nicely they would probably give you the recipe, though the batch size would be quite large.

Same, and the app is borked for me right now as well. I can get into the app and view my next cruise, but all of the restaurants are gone, no entertainment, etc. I'm used to them messing up on the weekends, but my next cruise opens for check-in tomorrow and the cruise after that opens for dinner reservations on Sunday... fingers crossed they've got someone working on it, but it's after 6pm in Miami and the workweek is over, so...

I thought it was just me.   I have been having problems all day.  Deleted and reloaded the app a couple times and that didn't help either.  Hopefully IT will get it fixed soon.

Enjoying your posts, please keep them coming (but not at the expense of not enjoying your cruise).

Thanks for taking us along.

I am going to swing this thread the other way - would someone share what is the bottled water that is included in the premium package?

TIA

We did this outside of the ship.  Just remember that ship time (arrival in particular) and Cabo excursion time are an hour different.  We missed the bus to get to the excursion (40 min. away) and had to hire a taxi to get there.

Thanks for the head's up on the time.  We are planning on doing the ship excursion if we do this.

Considering this for our January trip and was wondering if anyone has any experiences to share....

TIA

Since you said it may have been among a bunch of papers check all your tax documents for this year.  You may have filed them all away together.  i've heard of stranger thanks happening.

If you are still in Venice there is a nice dinner restaurant that is in what used to be a post office.   My friends and I were there twice during our stay, it had been recommended to us by semi locals. I would love to send you to this great corner shop we ate at for lunch but I don't remember all the twists and turns to get there from San Marco square. 

Thanks for a wonderful trip report.  

Just found this today and got all caught up.  

Thanks for doing this report (I'm loving it).  It has not only brought up great memories but a desire to get back to Europe, specifically Italy.  There is still so much to see and do there. 

Thanks to all for the information and pictures of the Panama crossing and local excursions.  I am doing this again in Jan 2024 and I consider this thread as part of the research and a memory refresher   

I crossed on the Disney Magic in 2008 and it is now so different with a larger ship (NCL Bliss), the new locks and an overnight in Panama.  When we went thru we were right behind a nuclear sub (amazing to follow that all day) and our bow decks were completely filled by 5am.  Some people camped out all night. The Mouse had a continental breakfast on deck for the early birds and a bbq on deck for lunch.   It was only the second year a Disney ship had crossed so even the crew was excited and running out on deck whenever they had a break.  The locals all came out to cheer us through as well.  Your decks look down right empty compared the that day.

Thanks again.

WOW!!!

Twangster ---

I am loving your updates and photos.  Thank you for all.

Thanks for your review.  I am now going to look into a Vision cruise as an option rather than another BIG ship.

Do the water packages ever go on sale?   I don't sail for several months so I don't need to purchase soon do I?  Thanks.

Can you move to an accessible cabin to accommodate your needs?

Day 3 of B3B and still no response re: shareholder benefit request on 12/31. Can guest services or loyalty ambassador help onboard?

I would give it another couple days before you get concerned.  The offices were probably minimally staffed due to Jan 1 and 2 were possibly holidays for those staff members.

I use the link.  I consistently and promptly receive the credit.  I am notified with a new copy of my invoice showing the OBC via email.

Yes, I sent mine in using the link and this afternoon I received an email showing the credit applied and it popped up on my cruise planner.

Thanks to everyone for your input.

You should get a confirmation if you apply via their email address - didn't seem to work via the link provided. The OBC should show in the planner where you make purchases - top of the page.

Now I am confused - does the request not work using the link or did you mean a confirmation would not generate if you use the link.

Thanks again.

It is about 50/50.  Lately, I have been receiving a confirmation after they apply the OBC.  I also look online at my booking to see if it has been applied.

Where in my bookings would it show up?  Sorry for the questions but this is my first cruise since I became a shareholder.  Thanks

This is the easiest way…

Is it normal to receive a confirmation of the request  being submitted thru the above link or just when the OBC had been approved and added to your reservation?  TIA

So glad that you all had a good time and that you pulled off the surprise.  Thanks for the updates and taking all of us along on the journey.

Looking forward to hearing how Bermuda goes now that you have the new perspective.

Isn't it great to have more cruises to look forward to again!  I have missed that the last couple of years.

What major inconvenience? (I'm going to feel like an idiot for asking this 😄) 

The bathroom situation.
