Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Fabulous. Thank you. I'll go have fun poking around there for a while. Thanks for saving me so much time!
  2. We're looking into repositioning and other one-way cruises as part transportation, part sightseeing. I've not found a good way to search for this type of cruise, though. Are there any known tips and tricks you can share with me to make this simpler, either on an aggregate site or on individual cruise line sites? Many thanks!
  3. Not yet, but that sounds like the right thing to do. Thank you.
  4. The 53-ish day Majestic Japan, out of Seattle, to upper Alaska, a lot of Japan, Hawaii, and back to Seattle. This assumes, of course, that it stays as a choice after what I believe will be its first run in fall 2024. We're looking at an Asia trip some time in 2026, and a cruise like that would be an excellent way to fulfill that dream.
  5. Thanks. It does sound that way. Seems like if we like the 10-night ABC cruise, we'll need to find another cruise to test out a smaller ship before committing to a 50+ night. Sounds like a great problem to have. "Oh, no, we have to book another cruise! Darn!" 🙂
  6. This is really good to hear. I sounds like it may suit us well. Thank you!
  7. Good point about not knowing what it'll be like in 24-25, so I'll try to keep an open mind as things inevitably change between now and then. We do love Asian cuisine. My husband is ethnically Chinese (but from Canada), and he's a foodie. So he guides me (white girl American non-foodie) through it all. 🙂
  8. That's so great! It's most important to me for Sunday Mass, of course, but daily Mass is such a lovely bonus!
  9. That's really helpful info; thank you. We've not been there. I figured since it'd be another nation we can cross off our list as having visited and it would only add one day to the itinerary, we should consider it. I'll pass this along to my husband and see if that changes our minds.
  10. A million years ago I went on a Disney cruise and a few small ships on Royal Caribbean. Together we started with the smallest class of Royal Caribbean ships and worked our way up. So far we've sailed on all classes of their ships except Oasis and Quantum Classes. We've sailed in interior, ocean view, and balcony rooms. We're quite spoiled with the balcony, but for this trip and any longer trips we'll have to settle for probably inside or possibly ocean view if we get a great offer from a travel agent. You have a good point about not being able to directly compare a short cruise to a longer cruise. It's still probably at least a glimpse at how HAL does things. One thing that's important to me is that there's a Catholic priest onboard, and I can attend Holy Mass even on sea days. I think right now HAL is the only cruise line in the world that offers that option all year round. That plus some really great itineraries are the two main reasons we're hoping to sail with them.
  11. Thank you for such quick and very helpful replies. In looking more at the 9-night vs 10-night itineraries, we see we get a stop at Grand Turk with the 10-night. That has actually made the decision for us! So now there's only one ship, the Eurodam. To the person who suggested taking a cruise on the one the ships that is used for longer voyagers, you have a VERY valid point. Thank you. I think that's reason for us to plan another short cruise in the future to test it out. Many thanks to you all!
  12. My husband and I hope to book a HAL itinerary for Late 2024 or Early 2025 very soon, going on a 9- or 10- day cruise from Fort Lauderdale to the ABC islands. I see there are three ships sailing that route during that season. This cruise will serve several purposes for us: celebration of an event that will have taken place at the end of Sep 2024, a chance to try HAL before we commit to one of their 50+ day cruises in the future, and a chance to visit all three of the ABC islands. What should we take into consideration about the Rotterdam, Zuiderdam, and Eurodam to help us make our decision? Thank you!
