🚢 🛳 🚢 Bon Voyage to Kazu, December 17, 2022 🥂 🥂 🥂

[rafinmd]

She's been wishing all of us Bon Voyage for over 10 years now and finally it's her turn.  Getting from Saint John to San Diego in winter is no small feat, and Kazu has taken measures to make it while, staying on our first Pinnacle Ship for a full 3 weeks, so that hopefully will be enough to justify the travel.  While it's just Kazu listed here for the initial segment, there are several other Cruise Critic members joining in later segments and I suspect some additional friends may be joining.  Wishing Kazu bearable flights and a wonderful 3 weeks on the Koningsdam.

 

Bon Voyage to Koningsdam  - 5 day Mexican Riviera:

kazu - B2B2B with Dec. 22 & Dec. 29th

 

Bon Voyage Kazu !!!!!!

Have a great cruise and a WONDERFUL time !!!!!

Bon Voyage to AnnieBelle, AV8rix, Kazu and Scrapnana, December 22, 2022

 

The Mexican Riviera and Caribbean may not be exotic destinations but they still beat out what many are experiencing many parts of the continent.  Most are making the most of their flights by extending their time beyond 7 days.  Scrapnana is actually arriving in style, coming in on the Zaandam 2 days early, while Kazu should already have been on the Koningsdam  for 5 days. 

 

Bon Voyage to Koningsdam - 22-Dec-22 - 7 day Mexican Riviera
AV8rix - B2B with Dec. 29th
AnnieBelle
kazu - B2B2B following Dec. 17 & with Dec. 29th

 

 

Bon Voyage to Zuiderdam - 22-Dec-22 - 12 day Western & Eastern Caribbean

Whichever BHB you are sailing wishing you calm seas, great service, and a lifetime of memories.

 

Bon Voyage !!!!!!

Have a great cruise and a WONDERFUL time !!!!!

What's better than a cruise.  How about a Holiday cruise on an elegantly decorated Blue Hulled Beauty with a festive Christmas dinner all prepared without lifting a finger.  That, a lovely beach day at Half Moon Cay and other warm destinations

On December 29 (last of 2022) we have Blue Hulled Beauties leaving from each coast.  The Koningsdam is doing a 9-day Mexican Riviera cruise extending into the Sea of Cortez while Zuiderdam is on a relatively short Eastern Caribbean cruise as a prelude to the Grand World Voyage.  Either way, it's a great way to ring in 2023.  Whichever ship you are on we wish you a wonderful cruise making special memories:

What's better than a cruise?  How about a Grand Voyage?  A lovely BHB is not just vacation but a home for MONTHS with exotic destinations and attentive service day and night.  While I have never been able to be away for a full 128 days I have had the good fortune of sailing a segment of a HAL World Cruise and a complete Grand South America and can testify that it's a fabulous experience.

Whichever ship you are on we wish you a wonderful Grand Voyage making special memories:

The Panama Canal is one of the modern wonders of the world  and a fascinating  experience, especially going through the historic original lock, essentially little changed over the last 100+ years.  Add in a number of great ports in the Caribbean, Central America and the Mexican Rivera and it's bound to be a fascinating and pleasant sixteen days.  We wish you a wonderful cruise making special memories:

With the holidays behind us schools should be back and HAL cruising should be mostly back to normal.  We have a number of people on 2 ships doing diverse cruises from both coasts on January 7, but all will have warm destinations accompanied by attentive service.  While there are 2 itineraries for the Koningsdam I'm only posting one map but it should be clear which loop(s) apply to the different cruisers.  We wish you a wonderful cruise making special memories:

There are few places on earth that can compare with the magic of the White Continent.  The flights to Santiago and back from Buenos Aires are taxing but will be rewarded by over 3 weeks of pampering service, lots of wildlife and the drama of a double crossing of the famous Drake Passage.  We wish you a wonderful cruise making special memories:
