A special thank you

[chloes nana]

I am 2 days from flying out for my pre-cruise stay in Rome, and then the Mediterranean for 20 spectacular days. I would like to send a heartfelt thank you to all my "new" CC friends for sharing all of their experience, expertise, and general insight and kindness, into the wonderful world of cruising and HAL. I have learned so VERY much on these boards and feel a little more secure in my adventure I am about to embark:

First transatlantic flight, first time in a foreign country or 2 or 3 ;), and very first cruise!

I will review my entire 25 day trip with all my "friends" when I return. Hopefully it will bring back fond memories to all of you, for when you sailed for the first time. I can hardly wait!! Sleeping and eating is getting hard now that I am under the 2 day mark!!

Just breathe......that's what they say right??Again, THANK YOU!! :)

I am so excited for you. Have a wonderful time on the Noordam. :D

[jtl513]

Did you see my last post on a thread of yours a few days ago? In case not, I repeat:

 

I found slide show of the Noordam that you might enjoy. (Click here)

 

Picture #8 is a VA, but it shows cabinets over the sofa. We've had VAs on the Westerdam, Zuiderdam, and Noordam (twice), and don't recall ever having those cabinets! :confused::confused:

 

FYI: pic #3 is a SA/SB/SC, and pic #15 is a SS/SY/SZ

 

BON VOYAGE!! :D

I did John! thanks so much for the pics. I think my upgrading is done for this cruise, and I am really happy with my VA cabin, thanks again for all your help.

Two more sleeps missy and you'll be on your way.:) How exciting all these firsts.

A good calming breathing exercise is 478 Breathe deeply for a count of four(fill your lungs), hold for a slow count of seven., then release breath slowly through your lips to a slow count of eight.....or you could just revel in all the excitment :D

Best wishes to you and your hubby , a cruise is such a special time for a couple to share Can't wait to hear all about it.:)
