  1. Ryndam was our first ever cruise. I’ve signed up to follow along on the other thread.
  2. wow…not helping passengers back on would be a huge complaint. No, it certainly wasn’t a lagoon. Did you guys dance on the way back? They had the ladies then the men which was fun. We did not have to use the facilities so can’t comment on that. Agree, Papeete isn’t the place to snorkel since there are such other great options to do that.
  3. We went on a different day that BermudaBound went on. The snorkel isn’t great but it was easy to get off & back on when you’re on a catamaran if you snorkel. We only booked it because we had extra OBC we had to use. We enjoyed the vibe of it & staff who were great. It was actually relaxing & a fun time for us.
  4. Glad to hear you’ve made it. I hope our weather improves (but I heard snow on our local mountains is happening 🤦‍♀️). You’ve had quite the adventures & still going strong! Safe travels. Shoot me an email when you get home.
  5. We have an issue here in Vancouver, Canada too. Within blocks of the cruise port people have to be very cautious. We love San Diego & will sail from there as it is an easy flight for us to get to. We will just always make sure we pick a later flight like we did after the SP cruise. Or next time maybe just stay overnight before flying home.
  6. We just returned from the 35 day cruise to the SP and did not “require” any shots. However, some chose to get some after visiting their travel medical center for recommended ones. I don’t know how to provide a link but it was passport health global dot com
  7. @Ileneilene123 Sitting on the balcony it didn’t affect our view. Standing looking over you got to see stuff but honestly, I don’t remember-it certainly didn’t impact me. Hubby is sleeping or I’d ask him.
  8. We were in 7128 for the 35 day South Pacific cruise and just got home last night. No issues at all.
  9. If you’re Canadian the time is longer. US citizens had their line & others had a separate one. We had to get our photos taken then moved along. It was quick but our line was much longer.
  10. When we flew out I took this photo at 7:05pm from our plane. Disney gone but Koningsdam still there. We were in no hurry to get off the ship as we had a 5:00 flight which was delayed of course. We never heard our colour called just ones for disembarkation. So we wandered down & it was still a zoo & one of the officers said if we had a late flight come down in another 30-45 minutes so we did. The line moved fast then.
  11. My last latte from the Dutch Cafe tonight. We honestly had a wonderful & relaxing cruise. Did lots of fantastic snorkel excursions & then relaxed on all the sea days back. I’m not sure if Mr Bear will want to do this one again or not, time will tell. I know I would. Such beautiful water, scenery & people in Hawaii & the South Pacific. One issue-my suitcase was over 50 pounds so had to regroup. More now in our carry on 🤦‍♀️. Wish us luck tomorrow, lol. We don’t fly home until 5pm so no hurry to get to airport. To all the other passengers - safe travels tomorrow wherever that may be. I know some are staying on the ship, some driving home & some flying home.
  12. Oh joy 🤦‍♀️…hope we get to the airport before it rains too much.
  13. Yikes 😳…I have a feeling ours will not go smooth either. Guess I’m thankful now we have a later flight and not in a rush. We have one bag each but also carry on so no way can do the self disembarkation this time. After being away 38 days we’ve had to reshuffle our suitcases to get under the 50 pound limit 🤦‍♀️….shouldn’t have bought those 2 duty free bottles on the ship 😂
  14. This is so very sad. Condolences to all. Everyone is affected when we hear this kind of accident resulting in death. Crew are so important to all cruisers and loved by all.
