  1. Okay I think thats a first. Seriously you can get rice both on board or any restaurant you go to
  2. I used to get very sea sick I use sea bands, have always worked for me I put them on before I get on the ship Then I drink only ginger ale with bitters the first day and eat green apples Works like a charm.. The ginger and bitters was told to me years ago by a crew bartender. After meno pause I no longer get it though unless very rocky but I come prepared. I dont take the meds they all made me sick or dizzy worse than the sea sickness and the patches made me hallucinate. Once got land sick after many sea days now that was fun lol
  3. Cunard will give you all you want great lectures, shows, activities. The lectures will be both port selective as well as other topics. at least 2 per day. QM2 even has a planetarium with several shows. The others ships have things to do as well. I love HAL but often do Cunard for transatlantic now. Ships are elegant. They do dress up more at night but you can always just go to their buffet which is good. My MOM loved it .
  4. i would have just starting singing to myself, that would have stopped anyone on a phone next to me lol😁
  5. You could go into the site and put in Noordam april 2025 and see where she is going. I know My oct one she heads to Asia after

  9. Im going for the scenery LOl and to be on a dam ship. Half the time I dont even get off ships any more, Been everywhere a cruise ship goes already... This one offers some new scenery and I love Victoria. Going on The Oct 2025 one, needed something to do anyway
  10. Just book the OCt 25 one Yippee Have been to Alaska many times this one will be great and different for me Just what I was looking for Love HAL Thats 3 cruises next year for me lol
  11. I just go to the dining rm whenever I want and ask to share a table. Get to meet a lot of people that way. as far as the speciality restaurants go I just eat in there alone but there are often people around you to strike up a conversation with them Or wait until you meet others and arrange to go with them.
  12. Loved Crystal as well But then I was travelling with my mother. and she had big bucks lol Did our first WC on the symphony what an adventure and then on the Harmony many times. Cant afford those now. still playing the lottery as well though One can only dream
  13. as a solo traveler Oceania and Azamara are out of my budget if I want to go on more than one cruise a year. so I stay with HAL and an occasional Princess . . I do like smaller ships though not into all the flashy stuff, want amore refined cruise. I do use Cunard quite a bit as well if i want to go to Europe I take the QM2 over or back
  14. I agree the Prisendam was my favorite was on all of those at one time or another. Much more intimate and you got know the crew and cruisers very well
  15. good to know my old ones are getting holes in them lol wear them in the garden all the time
  16. Sure will lol after this cruise next week for 2 weeks my next one is in Sept and Oct to Aust and NZ, It is weird though isnt it One thing though I was only on a road trip in Ohio this past Oct 7th.
  17. Im just glad Ive already been thru the Red sea and Isreal, Egypt etc, I wouldnt even travel to anywhere with in bombing distance of many places I have been. Whats weird is Im going on a ship next week for 2 weeks and my friends used to tell me to stop cruising because every time I went away weird things or disasters would happen. My Mom and I started to predict and would try to guess what would happen, This goes way back to Columbine , first cruise we took, then OK bombing yep second cruise, then after that things like, Beruit bombings, Kenya bombings, the tsuami in Bali, 9/11 was on the Qm2 couldnt dock stayed at sea a few days had to go to Halifax, London Bombings, Paris riots, Egypt Arab spring , Japan earthquake and many more I have forgotten at this point, but if its going to happen Im usually on a ship lol
  18. after the deaths in Jordon today its going to get really bad very soon
