Thank you for sharing your cruise! I really enjoyed reading it. Helps pass the time until our family cruise next Feb 2025 (Bella 2 on Wonder). It will be the first time we (my 3 sons, their significant others and I) will sail in Star class cabins. Long wait but we are really excited!!

I love following your reviews! Thank you for taking the time to share your cruise with us. Hope you and your family have a great vacation.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your cruise with us. I especially enjoyed all the wonderful pictures! My last cruise was in 2018 but now I have one scheduled for 2025 (the Bella 2 on Wonder; so excited!). Being able to read great reviews like yours helps pass the time until then.

Andrew, Thank you so much for sharing your cruise with us. It will bring back great memories of the first time my family took a cruise, Freedom in 2010. Wishing you and Lisa a happy anniversary and wonderful, relaxing cruise!

Hi Jim So glad you both made it to the ship yesterday. I'm looking forward to following along on all your adventures and seeing your wonderful photos! It is a fun positive way to start my day. Gail

Charla, thank you so much for doing a live report. I really enjoy your writing style and the great pictures! Reading your live report is a fun positive way to start my day. I look forward to your next adventure. Have a safe trip home.

Thank you for the recommendation. You've asked questions I haven't even thought about! yet! I will give Steve a call.

I am taking my adult children and their significant others on a cruise and paying for cruise portion (they will probably be paying for airfare and hotel). In calling several places (travel insurance websites that offer policies from different companies and one travel insurance company) getting conflicting answers for something and would like to know others experience, please. If we have to cancel cruise, this is what I have been told: 1. To show proof of purchase, family members should write me a check for their portion, writing purpose of check in note field. Then I can just give money right back to them. So canceled check is proof of purchase for cruise. 2. Since the cruise company invoice shows each person individually and how much is paid, this will be sufficient proof. 3. It doesn't really matter but wouldn't hurt to go with option #1. Any opinions/experiences appreciated. TIA

Thank you for taking us along on your cruise. Looks like you and your kids are having a wonderful time! I'm looking forward to cruising with my three sons and their SOs on Wonder in early 2025. So a looong wait!

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your cruise with us. I'm enjoying your fun and informative review. Can't wait for more!

Thank you for taking the time to post this wonderful trip report! I thoroughly enjoyed it. The pictures were great, especially you and Gen Z in matching dresses. It was easy to tell you both had a fun time. Safe travels home. Can't wait for your next adventure!

Hi Ken Thank you for a terrific trip report so far! It is fun learning about ports I've never considered before and a cruise line I've never sailed. Your photos are fantastic, especially the wildlife!! Enjoy the rest of the cruise. Gail

Hi Jim. Thank you for taking us along on your cruise. Your reviews are always fun and informative. And I really enjoy your fantastic pictures!! A great way to start my day along with morning coffee. Enjoy the rest couple days of the cruise. Gail

Thank you again for your wonderful live review and amazing picture!. Have a safe trip home. Best wishes for a successful surgery.

Thank you for a fun, informative review and fabulous pictures. I especially enjoyed sharing all the wildlife photos with my daughter who has a degree in wildlife biology. Have a safe trip home.

Thank you, Jim, for the encouraging words. She is the second of my 4 children with cancer in their 30's. My middle son had a rare oral cancer 3 years ago, is cancer free now. I definitely know the power of a positive attitude and lots of prayers. Gail

Hi Jim, Long time lurker here who would like to thank you for taking the time to do a wonderful review. I haven't been doing any traveling since last year. My daughter, who moved back home after graduation(with her 3 cats) was diagnosed with breast cancer last November. It is a long journey, with chemo, surgery and radiation going well, with one last round of drugs that will be over in a few months. So the point of my story is after close to a year of pretty much only leaving the house for grocery pick up and medical appointments it brings me joy to start my morning “traveling” with you and Iain. Your wonderful details and awesome pictures take me to places I hope to see some day. Thank you!! Gail
