I'd recognize Hudson anywhere!

Just wondering, any idea when they'll open up the excursions for our trip?

I'm glad

25 day July 29 2023 On the Zaandam.

I'm booked on Holland America In October of next year for the Panama canal. I'm looking forward to it

I agree, thank god there are good people in the world.

As I mentioned earlier I think in the dining room is where you meet most of the people you'll enjoy on the ship. It's sitting together at that table kind of brings you closer together. Everyone I've spent most of my time with on the ship I've met at the dining room table.

In the dining room is where I meant most of the nicest people on the ship. I've had wonderful luck with my companions. Some of them I even talk to today

I missed something here

The double occupancy is a problem. It's very expensive. And I like to go on long cruises at least 3 weeks

Keep trying

I'm doing a partial in October of next year with holland America. I can't wait And then I'm female

You got that right

Yes I understand. It is the idea of being lonely. it's just that I never felt this way before and I've been traveling solo since 2017. I'm now 74 years old and something is changed. I don't feel the same way.

I agree wholeheartedly with everything you've said in the second paragraph. However, as I get older I do find I get a little more lonely. I'm not so self contained as I once was. On my last cruise, this May,I did go into a specialty restaurant alone and I was very uncomfortable. I never felt that way before.

Happy birthday

I so so so agree. And I am so glad that there are others that feel the same way. I am 74 years old and if not now when? Why should I leave it to someone else that'll do everything that I didn't do! If you live long enough I can guarantee the nursing home is going to take everything you've saved. Enjoy it now!

I just returned from a 7 day trip to Canada Boston to Boston. It was the 1st time I used my rollator. I was very appreciative but I must tell you I am so glad I took it. It really helped walking from the pier to the ship in Boston. That's 1 heck of a distance. Also ,if I had to wait in line for dining I could sit. I'm glad I took it and I am gonna keep taking it. It was a bit awkward getting it in and out of the room. I had to fold it up and kind of drag it out the door. But it is a heavy duty 1 so I was comfortable with doing that. I also went out on the deck with it which was something that was very concerning to me. I didn't know if I'd be able to get through the doors. I did, there was no problem.

Couldn't agree more. You said it all

I am 74 and my husband is 66 and we love to travel holland America. Give it a try

Can you tell me something about the Star Trek cruise please?

That sounds wonderful. Have a wonderful time. Did you do all the bookings on your own?

I always have to pay the extra. That's 1 thing I really don't care about. It can be very very expensive

I agree. And I'm so glad you're still going on your next cruise. Good for you, you're an encouragement.

I'm sorry you had to experience that from the staff. Very unfortunate. But thank heavens there are good people in the world. Gives us hope!
