JotWorld Posted October 7, 2006 #726 Share Posted October 7, 2006 Hi Tony... haven't logged onto your site for awhile. I now appreciate your daily comments while at sea and the time and patience it takes to write about each port and your experiences. We're on the Sapphire Princess as I write this post... Whittier to Osaka. We boarded on 9/16 and today is 10/7. We have frequent days at sea but every sea day seems filled and port days are non-stop. We're having a wonderful time. Today, we had our 2nd lunch with the Captain this trip and as usual, it was delightful. Didn't even come in the running for most sailed from Whittier to Beijing... one couple has 877 days and another has 700+ and they're still sailing with us. Ports have been extremely interesting... yesterday and the day before, we were in Shanghai overnight - over 400 amazing high rise buildings in Shanghai city center, one more unusual than the other. Lots of smog, lots of people, great sites! Yesterday we took time out to have lunch at the JWMarriott's 38th floor restaurant, delicious food, 360 degree vista views and service 2nd to none. We still have Pusan, Kagoshima, Taipei, Okinawa to see and we'll disembark in Osaka, where will spend 2 nights, with a day trip to Kyoto, then fly home. When we return home after 10/16, I'll post a review. The itinerary is great, plus we've done several private tours I can highly recommend. Continue to have fun... Sandy Sandy, Thank you for the update on your trip, I've been watching your Sapphire on the CAM Daily, and wishing We were on that trip:) Will be looking forward to your Review when you return;) Thanks againfor checking in!

JotWorld Posted October 7, 2006 #728 Share Posted October 7, 2006 Those tell-tale little green lights.

treesah Posted October 7, 2006 #730 Share Posted October 7, 2006 A word of advice from another only child. Forget the sisters, Tony. Get yourself adopted by a bunch of women. I would volunteer but your Widow Clicquot habit is justifiable but way out of my league. Glad you're feeling semi-human. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You and Tony can Join Us in our PP OS on the World Cruise, we will have an extra room & bath, as long as you Guys pay for All the Shore excursions & Veuve. :) What do you think, is it a Deal?;) Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mississauga Posted October 7, 2006 #742 Share Posted October 7, 2006 Yes but an Owner's Suite is even better . :o Sorry, didn't know that's what OS stood for. I thought it was outside. Well, I certainly agree with you there. If I go on the same cruise as you next year, maybe you can invite me in for a look as I certainly won't be in one.

Rare PescadoAmarillo Posted October 7, 2006 #745 Share Posted October 7, 2006 Tony (and all the other contributors to this thread)...I just spent an hour reading through this thread. What a pleasure it has been! So exciting to read about your adventures...makes me feel like I'm there myself (vicarious vacationing, don't you know?). Let me be another to add a 'HI' to Tom and Lorraine. In case you don't already know (and it sounds like you are someone who WOULD know)...Tom and Lorraine can fill you in on the best and funnest way to get rid of all your excess alcohol in the last few days before debarkation. And Lorraine will be there to photograph it all for posterity, so everyone must behave. Of course, any stuffed animals/dolls on board are fair game (so to speak), but those photos might not be publishable on the internet.
