Aloha. I have had aft rear wraparound Neptunes but prefer mid ship closer to the lounge but forward of its entrance closer to a pinnacle so there are fewer passengers walking past

Aloha. The near conclusion to a long voyage is always an interesting time. When you return home what are some of your activities if I may ask? Family, friends, the house? What are your go to meals? Caesar salad, pineapple pizza, prime rib? Just curious as I find our at home differs based on where we are. As you know we divide our time between NY and Honolulu. In NY its is family always with my homemade sauce and pasta and of course bagels and bbq. In Honolulu it is loco moco, garlic shrimp, fresh fish and regular evenings at the Halekulani to listen to music while enjoying poke. Oh.. Not to forget doctor visits lol!

Aloha. Happiest of birthdays! It is always special when the staff recognizes a special moment. My parents were regulars on HAL and Crystal and in several instances the Captain would deliver room service to their suite which the line was known for with long time passengers. Once on HAL my mom politely asked no recognition in the dining room so they were invited to a private bridge tour wherein they found balloons and cake and the Captain and staff sang happy birthday 😂 My wife also asks for privacy and we have also been feted with more subdue recognition. Perhaps living in Manhattan and Honolulu we like more quiet lol! All blessings.

Aloha. We love Polynesia and I thank you for sharing your journey and experiences

Aloha. 1971. Greek Line Olympia. Countless around the world thereafter. Blessed to do so

Aloha. We have been blessed to sail in the QM2 since 2004 and love her. Born and and raised in Manhattan and now divide our time between NY and Honolulu. 1 or 2 night cruises were so much fun years ago but are no longer available in the states. That said I would jump at the opportunity!

Aloha. Blessed to have sailed in her. Thank you for your posts!!!

Aloha. You look great. All the best!

AlohaJust like buying a car, home, washer and dryer lol

Aloha. Glad you are enjoying Singapore. We love the Sands Hotel.

Aloha. We have been blessed to sail HAL since the 1970s and in Neptune Suites countless times for a few decades. Well worth it. I personally love the lounge in the early am and at times during the day. I highly recommend you consider.

Aloha. Most lines have replaced celebrity chefs. Most certainly because they want too much money. Having been blessed to be born and raised in Manhattan although we now divide our time between NY and Honolulu, we have dined in many celebrity restaurants. Yes the food is delicious and presentation and service outstanding but at a cost. For many cruisers who are not from major digits I respect the draw but I guess another trend among the bean counters to save money.
