  1. Can´t wait to see the first pictures of the refurb of Connie! One of my favorite Milli- Class ships- oh well I like them- really. LOL.
  2. Thanks for taking us along. It has been 20 years since we sailed Radiance. I was a big fan of RCI- when there ships started to get " out of hand"- means bigger and bigger- biggest- they where just no longer for me. I stopped after Voyager of the Seas- even that I found to big. LOL. Radiance Class ships are my favorite with Royal. Colony Club esp. is a great place to read. I am now sailing X or Cunard. Always fond memories of my fist - back then- biggest ships out there, which was Grandeur and all the Vision Class ships- they where called " Megaliners" back then...!
  3. Thank you for taking us along. My last voyage on Vision was back in 1999- a Transcanal cruise. Very fond memories. Interessting to see the changes inside. She looks very well kept.
  4. One never ceast to learn. I had no idea what a "Miami Vice" is- other then the series of the 80´s when we all wanted look like good Don and dressed the part. A drink and nice looking one too, thx.
  5. I never have had any issues with kids running wild with Cunard- different Story with Royal- but there it is something one suspects- they are more built for family´s than any ship of Cunard. The kids are not to blame- it´s the parents who are responsible - which has to do with the different upbringing - some parents really should " run a tighter ship " with their kids- but thats it is not a topic for CC- lol.
  6. Thank you for that wonderful review and the nice pictures. I had to read twice when I read that the Captain took the stage- never heard of Capt. Kirk. Silhouette being my favorite S- Class vessel- sailed her many times.
  7. I agree- why should that not be posted here? There other topics coming to mind that I deem not worth posting- lol.
  8. Once on a voyage to New York a fellow traveller - around my age ( mid 50s) - told me - that he knows this ship is gods anteroom- but he so loves to travel on board Mary. That came to mind when read that article. I just answered - well we both are not really spring chickens anymore- LOL and both of us had a good laugh about it. The truth is that many many people thing ship voyages are for the nearly departed. I have never heard of the guy who wrote that articel but I liked the articel nevetheless. About his garments- well if you want meet exentrics- the Mary is the ship to go. And yes- I am triffle exentric as well. LOL. What a delicate bunch of humans are out there- one word wrong and one is put either in that or in that cupboard ( sexism- ageism...and so on my ) !
  9. I did not know the Sun -but now I do. LOL. What a sensation- people paniced- I dout that anyone above could smell anything. Good that we have the first hand report to put things in order. Se.. sales ( sensation I mean of course😁) Good that we have a firt hand report. The only thing that I can imagine is that wake up call. We had that once just the night before entering NY- at around 1am or so. Medical evacuation. The first thing Cap. Hasmi told us was that everything with ship was fine. He just wanted to explain why we stopped ( which I did not even notice before) .
  10. What a wonderful entertaining topic that has become- very funny, indeed. Even though I can imagine why bring that thing to get more outlets- but the other... hm- maybe cruise lines should printing that they offer cruises and not time on a camp ground. Well handcuffs... but that´s a different story alltogether...!
  11. Sloopy maintenance possibly- the " Edgesation" or whatever they called is was years ago- even before Covid struck.
  12. I know that may not go down well with fans of the old QE2. I sailed her once- because I absoulley needed to sail on board the Legend once- well before QM2 was on the horizon. What a gasthly ship- strange layout, confusing staircases. They tried very hard to convert the ugly, plastic, horendous interior of the 60´s to change into something more " liner like"! Alone that Queens Room- in the first livery- puh... then the midships lounge in it´s first appreance...! The location of the Queens Room- long curtains at the side to shield it from the inside promenade. I could go on and on..! This one week was quite enough. So yes- I rather like what I saw of QA so far- and I have not yet forgiven Cunard for taking away the promenade deck- lol.
  13. One should ignore those hypocrites for bashing around for being curious. Curiosity is in the human nature- otherwise we would still live in the tree´s! I - myself are always curious. LOL. Hope they could help the poor passenger who needed the blood.
  14. This rendering of the Carinthia Lounge is really stunning- great views - which Cunard ships are famous for. I need to figure out a voyage with as many sea days as possible- if not a TA.
