I haven't been checking this board for awhile and was wondering why no sailaways from FLL? Miss those "parties". What a great and informative post. Prayers to all. Has anyone heard from Kathi? I check her blog and FB routinely, but have not seen any new posts for awhile.

Wow, isn't that interesting? Thank you for letting me know that.

We are looking at some luggage forwarding companies because we want to send one suitcase from Australia to Barcelona for our cruise so we don't have to carry it. So expensive. Has anyone tried Luggage Free? I have checked online with Luggage Forward which was around 800AUD! Ouch Luggage free comes in cheaper, but have never heard about them. Anyone have any other ideas?

Which ticket did you buy via get your guide? So many choices and some sound the same, etc...... We are thinking of doing the HOHO bus to get to Knossos.

Love seeing the pictures of what a specialty restaurant has on offer. We love the vegetables too, although not into seafood. I keep thinking maybe one day I will try some but haven't got there yet.

Thank you for sharing! We like to have the times so have a little more idea of how we can plan our time at a port.

Richard, I love the way your map looks and seems easy to see all on one page. Would like something like that for Barcelona where we are going to be pre-cruise for about a week.

Thank you for the update! I am glad to hear no injuries and people are safe.

I love your enthusiasm and love it when people ask for tips and hints!

Glad it worked out for you Roy!

Fingers crossed for you.

I am sending my thoughts and prayers to you Les. I have appreciated your posts for years, so thank you!

Congratulations on your winning bid and thank you for letting us know your outcome!

I, also, would like to hear about everyone's overall view of the WC.

To clarify, when we get to our cabin and check our table allocation, we go down to check our table allocation and see where it is located and see if we can change to a diff table if it is not suitable. But, if that cannot happen we either just sit at the assigned table or go to another restaurant. We don't interact with the maitre de other than that and have never offered incentive.

What great photos! Thank you for sharing! It all looks so magical and memorable!

Thank you for the reminder deck chair and it is good advice! This is exactly what we do and learned that from reading the Cunard board for years before our first cruise a long time ago. We still do that each cruise.

The last cruise I took out the ones that were there and asked the cabin steward if I could get some wire hangers. They returned with a big handful! 🙂 which was good since I brought so much ....lol

Lissie, looks like you have a few cruises coming up with the next one next week on HAL (acc to your signature). How exciting!

I hope it works out for you and they do offer the segment you need.

Thank you for the compliment! 🙂

That is good to hear they have true table for two without the "neighbors". I know we are in a minority but when we go to a meal, we are pretty quick eating, and don't chat much except with each other because I can really talk sometimes and the food would get cold and I would lose track of the time ....lol). We do enjoy the ambiance, etc but meals are not usually the place we choose to chat with others. That being said, each meal is a new experience and sometimes we adjust our thinking.

How very sad.

TowandaUK....love the name. Reminds me of the movie Fried Green Tomatoes and Kathy Bates yelling Towanda! lol

Have a great cruise experience!
