I also was part of the audience participation years ago, you had to make lots of noise to get chosen and I remember jumping up and down, it was fun and they gave us outfits to wear on stage.
it took me a week to catch up, loving your trip report as usual and all of the details, we want to do a transpacific at some point and you really convince me that we also need a week in Sydney. (we really need to retire).
I am so glad that you are taking us along, what a great trip, and I have really enjoyed your previous trip reports.
Once you reach Barcelona are you spending some time in Europe?
looking forward to following you, we did this trip a year ago on the Radiance from Galveston, it was our first time on a Radiance class and we loved it.
One more reason I am not a gambler I loose every bet, I would certainly have bet that Vision would sail out of Cape Liberty/Bayonne as Royal has all of the infrastructure in place there.
there is lots of parking at Cape Liberty in Bayonne very easy when only 1 ship in port as all can park in the garage, with multiple ships in port some parking is a bit farther but no more than a 5-10 minute walk, and they have shuttles for those who need it.
I am really enjoying the discussion and I think a lot of the decisions are based on what cabins you cruise in. I have never cruised in a suite, (wish I could but out of my price range) generally cruise in balcony but if out of my desired price range will do interior. I have looked at Vikings as well as other lines, and I am sure that they are comparable to suites on Royal but for my price point much higher than what I pay on RCCL, but I have to admit some of the itineraries are really tempting and some point might try it.
So strange I have an Iphone and those directions do not work for me, when I get to the bottom of the page all I get is how to add a new cruise. But the directions for an Android do work for me,
looking forward to following you, I really enjoyed your last trip report. I am also curious to hear your impressions cruising out of Tampa, we really like the smaller ships, and might be tempted at some point to cruise from there,
really looking forward to your review, we just came back from Harmony with unlimited dining and very similar choices in food, we also did 150 Central Park 3 times and loved it. I really enjoy Labadee give it a chance.
We had the same experience none of the photos taken at restaurant were available on the App or able to get with diamond free picture. They printed them and tried to sell them, which seemed like such a waste. Any pictures taken on board by the photographers showed up and we were able to download them directly from the App.
