What an amazing vacation, love the combination of cruises and stay in Amsterdam, really looking forward to following you.

[Azulann]

Looking forward to your  wonderful report all through April ! Your two are such great travelers.

Can’t wait to follow along.  Vern envious.  We were supposed to go on the British Isles cruise two years ago, with several days prior in Amsterdam (one of our favorite cities) but of course was cancelled due to Covid.  Have a wonderful time on all these cruises and thanks for bringing us all along.

Yay! I love following your travels but am particularly excited about the Apex Key West trip as we are taking that cruise in January. Safe travels!

[abbydancer2003]

I'm in.  The Apex is now on my bucket list.  Have fun.

[boxkite]

Jim and Iain, will be following your wonderful trip by sea and land! Have a super time and of course take plenty of HDR pics!

[Lastdance]

I loved my b2b on Apex last fall.  The two of you will really enjoy all the places you are going, as they are quite varied and interesting, at least the ones I have been to before. Maybe you have been to all, or most of them.  26 days last fall was the upper limit for us, but honestly, I thought I could do a couple of months.  Thanks for posting, as this does take a lot of your time with all the questions, but such a great learning experience for all of us too!  Safe travels and wonderful weather🌎

We are headed for 21 days on Beyond, beginning with her TA soon!

Many Thanks in advance😀

Thanks for doing another live review!  I do enjoy following along.. however... this time I won't get to follow quite as much since on Monday (17th)  I'll be boarding the Constellation for her eastbound TA!  First TA for me, something I've looked forward to for a long time.

Jim, I look forward to following you and Iain over the pond! We took the Apex TA last Spring and loved it.

The cruises were originally planned to Disembark and Embark in Amsterdam but about 3 months ago they change every other cruise to Rotterdam instead of Amsterdam.   You can only imagine the complaining on the Roll Calls.

 

We will be disembarking Rotterdam and taking the Train to Amsterdam.   Luckily our British Isle cruise departs Amsterdam but disembarks in Rotterdam.

 

 

Our disembarkation port has always been Rotterdam.  At the time I booked the cruise they were living in Munich so I am happy to have Amsterdam so close.  In May of last year we did a land vacation to Munich and loved it.  We were looking forward to returning, but it was not to be.  We are staying in a hotel ONLY because I have points for eight nights.  Celebrity is our cruise line of choice but HAL offered me a complimentary( casino )cruise in a balcony.  This is an offer I could not refuse.

Wishing you a wonderful trip!

Looking forward to this.

Looking forward to your reports. Especially interested in Amsterdam since we'll be there pre-cruise in July as well as the train from Rotterdam to Schiphol as we'll be doing the same in August.

 

Safe travels!

Jim, Looking forward to living the dream thru the two of you once again! Enjoy!

[Gracie115]

Look forward to your report on the 4/15 cruise and then will be enjoying your take on the TA that we are also on!!!  Bon Voyage!!!!

[Ken the cruiser]

Hope you and Iain have a wonderful time on your almost B3B as we will be following along cruising through the Pacific from Sydney to Vancouver! BTW didn't we do something similar to this last August, only that time we were on the same ship! 🤣

As always, I am very much looking forward to your live report. I have experienced more than one cruise vicariously through you and expect this will be another.  I plan to follow your and Iian's escapades on a day by day basis.

Have been looking forward to your next live post Jim. Have a wonderful trip and I look forward to reading your land portion too. This will keep me going until our Med cruise on Reflection in July. Bon voyage!

Thanks -  You may enjoy the third cruise as Iain's Sister and BIL are from Ayrshire so I'll be the lone American in our party.
