We are scheduled on this cruise as a replacement for a cancelled cruise to Bermuda. I think we did well in exchanging 9 days for 14. I know nothing of the places we are stopping, or I wouldn't have chosen the cruise. Hopefully we can meet and get more people involved before departure.

Not a bad deal 14 days for 9 days. We were on the bermuda cruise before but not with Radisson. From what I have been hearing I think this will be a better cruise. Maybe we will meet on ship

I'm considering this cruise. I'm a little concerned about the weather. . .most ships stop sailing the canal in April, since May is the beginning of the rainy season. The Pacific Coast weather is also iffy in May (in San Diego they call it "gray May").

 

Then again, I can think of worse places to be on a rainy day in May!

living in Oregon rain never bothered us. We are still looking forward to the cruise and are sure it will be great.

Nice to have another Washingtonian on board. We are looking forward to our very first cruise with Radisson Cruise line. We live up in Gig Harbor near Tacoma, WA. Have been on several cruises in the past including one through the Panama Canal on Sitmar years ago. Hope to see you on board.

My husband and I are planning on going as well. We are from Bellevue, WA. We went to Tahiti last Sept. on Radisson and loved it.

[randycressman]

we are from Vancouver Wa and was to Tahiti 2 years ago on the PG. It was great and made us want to try RSSC again. It would be nice for all the Washingtonians to meet on board. Of course we will probaly fly out of Portland as opposed to Seattle so won't see you on the plane. :)

[CarolineWA]

That sounds great. How should we contact one another once on board?

[randycressman]

What do you say we pick a lounge/date and time and just meet.

Has anyone been reading the Mariner Virtual cruise that is happening right now. I think it's interesting and makes us look forward even more to our turn in May.

[randycressman]

has anyone going on this cruise read the Virtual cruise of Panama from the Mariner that was here the last 2 weeks?

[RitaMaid]

I cannot believe there are so few of us on this link. Wondering if anyone reads cruise critic boards?

Join in and let us know if you are sailing on May 6 from Ft. Lauderdale.

Are you going to go as far as LA or continuing on to Alaska? We will be boarding in LA on the 20th.

[randycressman]

Can't speak for anyone else but we will be getting off in LA. I hope you enjoy your cruise to Alaska.

Thank you...I am sure we will. We are newbies so very excited.
