OldTymeCruiser

I don’t think this post is a violation. I actually enjoy looking back years to read old posts and they bring back memories of old ships and traditions. I do wish they would monitor the influencers who wear fancy costumes post glowing reviews and you know are getting upgrades, free cruises or are otherwise paid by the cruiselines. Additionally, some posters are full of themselves such as on another line where a president club member thinks he is above the rest referring to his fellow passengers as a thundering herd. That is wrong. I tried to block but it still appears when they post. I would prefer you never see them again. It is the influencers however that dilute the veracity of the boards.

Always enjoy your reviews and style of writing as well. May I suggest you consider a Cunard Transatlantic voyage in the future. Having crossed numerous times there are always fashionable passengers dressed in victorian clothing and other styles. You certainly would be welcomed and appreciated!

Wonderful! Yes..enjoy while you can during your younger years as perhaps you may settle down and other commitments preclude such adventures. See the world while you can!

Always like reading your reports. But I have a question. At your age what do you do that you are able to spend so much time at sea ?

The Presidents Club Police monitor everything lol 😂

Are you a travel agent?

My brother is on your cruise. Did you ever receive the Tiffany President club watches

Spoke with my brother and is looking forward to the voyage. He was surprised before he left home to receive a package containing a thank you and a watch from HAL commemorating his being a President member and he said one of if not the highest level member. He has been sailing with HAL since the 1970s and I guess enough world cruises to add up. I had a lot of rime with Crystal but I don’t think that counts anymore but I do hope they restart since they were bought by A & K.

Looking forward to your reports. My brother will be sailing with you. He is staying for a few days at The Breakers before embarkation. A pre World Cruise Tradition. Have a happy new year and an enjoyable vacation.

Love your posts and pictures which I am grateful. How can you possibly eat all that food?

Looking forward to it. Yes a first world problem for sure but I too have first world problems. Safe journey and keep posting!

There are so many other places to eat than the hard rock cafe in Honolulu. For example the Chart House by the Ala Wai Yacht Harbor. Buho Cantina for Mexican. I know because I live in Honolulu! Enjoy the Aloha Spirit!

Been there done that with your cruises. Love your pictures and are most appreciative of the food porn lol but what does your wife say with all you eat? What about your kids as you said you travel solo? I would be hundreds of pounds if I ate what you eat lol! All the best!

I too am an brittle diabetic. You cannot trust anyone other than yourself or your wife

Do you work for princess? I would expect for what i am paying full transparency.

Love the food pictures. Been to the ports you have visited. What does the wife and kids say about your absence?

Love the food pictures lol. Thank you so much! What do you do for a living i ask respectfully. I want to be like you! Tell us! All the best!

As a travel agent what do you think cruise lines can do to improve service, food, entertainment etc during the pandemic era? Your thoughts are appreciated.
