C 2 C Posted October 9, 2012 #1 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Every fall my wanderlust, the result of a defective sedentary gene, "forces" me to take an extended cruising odyssey. My dear wife reluctantly leaves behind her garden, her daily chores and laptop gaming endeavors and tries to keep me out of trouble onboard. This year, for a variety of reasons, we will be sailing on Reflection from Amsterdam on Oct. 12 by way of the Mediterranean to our destination in Miami on Dec. 1st. I have every intention of exploring the ship and enjoying my leisure but if you have any serious concerns I will try to get an answer for you.

u2cruiser Posted October 9, 2012 #11 Share Posted October 9, 2012 I'm Xtremely envious. Out of all the ports you'll visit, are any of them new to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C 2 C Posted October 9, 2012 Author #12 Share Posted October 9, 2012 I'm Xtremely envious. Out of all the ports you'll visit, are any of them new to you? Kopor in Slovenia is new for us. However there are so many nice walking ports.. We never tire of simply sitting in a town square sipping a local beverage and absorbing the view.

We never tire of simply sitting in a town square sipping a local beverage and absorbing the view. Amazing, only one out of all those ports. :eek: That is also our favourite thing to do in ports. I especially enjoyed Toulon's lovely little squares. There seemed to be one round every corner. Have a fantastic trip. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orator Posted October 9, 2012 #16 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Staff we're looking forward to meeting again: The Party Band D'Revelation: Please give my best to Chandru. I wonder if he'll be onboard on January 26th. They've played with his schedule before so even he may not know. I saw him as he was leaving a ship only to be called back when they could not secure a substitute. He was leaving to return home for medical treatment.
