Family view cabin.

Is that an aft corner stateroom? Loved your virtual TA. Again, informative, delightful pics and such great sharing of your special events. I will go back and read some of your early adventures as so much new for me.
Looking forward to your future postings!

Yes it is on the Millennium Class Constellation . The newer Solstice Class like the Eclipse we were located forward and has a larger interior but a much smaller balcony .

 

 

 

2nd bedroom ( no window )

 

 

 

And a couple shots of the balcony

 

 

 

And finally , an aerial photo showing the balcony in blue and the front windows in red .

The last supper

 

 

The Neptune Lounge

 

 

Ken the Concierge was fantastic

 

 

As was Saski

 

 

And Koko is the best . Great attitude and work ethic , he deserves every bit that he's paid . They all felt like our family before we left .

Our last sunset

 

 

The sea was calm and a brilliant sun

 

 

it seemed like it was in slow motion

 

 

 

 

 

We do like our aft cabins

 

 

The orange waves

We had one on the Connie as well for a Med cruise, we first saw them when a friend had one for the Antarctic sailing on the Infinity, we spent lots of time on the balcony for both cruises.

We wish that they had them when we went to Antarctica but the Zaandam doesn't have aft corners . We did spend lots of time on the big balconies looking for wildlife and scenery . We also had a number of meals delivered and ate on the balcony a lot .

Even after the sun had set the sky continued to stay bright

 

 

Looking forward

We had a sunny day for our return to Copenhagen

 

 

 

 

Backing in to terminal 2

 

 

 

 

 

The Oceania Marina has 3 owner's suites on the 8th , 9th and 10th floor that are 2000 sq feet each  They run the full width of the ship and have 2 balconies , one on each side of the center windows

We did have a last breakfast in the Pinnacle and was able to thank all of the good people for their hard work and making it a great cruise . We were the second group to leave and pickup our baggage on shore . We grabbed a cab to the airport which took us awhile to get through . When we asked for water we were surprised to find glasses and a spout to fill from instead of bottled water .

 

 

Copenhagen aerial view

 

 

 

British Air breakfast ( # 2 but who's counting ? )

 

 

How many sites of London do you recognize ?

When we last landed in London a few years ago, we flew north of the city and then turned up the Thames on our way to Heathrow.  Since we were on right side of the plane, saw many landmarks we'd visited in the past, including Wembly Stadium.  In all the times we've flown to London, this was the first time our plane had taken this route so it was a real treat!  BTW, do you know what that building is that looks like a steeple?
