The New Years’ celebrations on Splendor look really splendiforous. How we wish we would have had similar celebrations on Mariner’s Panama Canal cruise last year.

Just transited through HR from Cape Town to Charlotte. Terminal 5 to T3. It was very early in the morning so no crowds or lines. We were pleasantly surprised by the purple directional signs. Very clear. Still, it took us an hour, including security. Other times of day would take longer. All liquids in carryons need to be placed in a plastic bag, which are available near security.

Voyager docked at the Cape Town Cruise Terminal at the end of the Lisbon-Cape Town cruise. As previously stated, the Table Bay Hotel is within walking distance, but it’s complicated. Have a wonderful trip!

Last summer Regent booked us on a nonstop Delta flight, Copenhagen to Atlanta. Regent has frequently booked us on American nonstops, when available, from Charlotte. I think there’s a good chance, if a nonstop exists from Dallas to Copenhagen, you could request from Regent. Probably would have to pay deviation.

We leave Thursday also. Charlotte-Munich-Lisbon. See you onboard. Safe traveling to everyone. Jan & Dave

Mr. Fudge, I have enjoyed your reports very much! We will be boarding Voyager November 12. Hopefully, the same wonderful crew will still be onboard. Thank you for taking the time to write about your experience.

Briar14 here, yes, I empathize greatly! Happened to us this summer on Navigator where Gilly, I and our husbands had great plans for a wonderful cruise. We also received excellent medical care. We were able to enjoy the last 10 days with Gilly and her Hero. I sincerely wish both of you well. Your trip reports and pictures are wonderful.

We have sailed with this TA group several times and are about to do so again. I agree with mrlevin and Rachel that most of the group will do their own thing once onboard. The last time we were with the group one party was held mid morning in the Stars Lounge. Not a busy venue at that time of day. However, if we found out an incentive group was going to be onboard, we would look for another option.

We received our documents on October 15. The one time we had a GTY suite we were notified a couple of days before sailing. Looking forward to meeting you onboard!

We are celebrating our 50th anniversary this summer, Mariner, Barcelona-Istanbul with additional time in Turkey. Definitely doing the Turkish bath.Thank you for your wonderful description and for taking us along on your trip. I hope it is a wonderful one!

Good to be “home” isn’t it? Will the “A Team” still be on for the November 12, Lisbon-Cape Town trip? I hope so!
