Just left the Voyager after 2 cruises - Captain Thor is the Capt and he was continuing. I’ve met him before last year on Voyager but can’t remember his last name - he’s from Iceland if that helps

Capt Iv Vidos - Independence

Just stayed in a balcony on deck 9 - both sides are metal, but I personally like it, much more private

I'll move the rotation date to 6-23 in case this is Capt Frank's last week
Presently on board the Explorer - Captain Frank left this morning (29th June) for vacation and the new Captain is Kenneth Moeller

Just seen a Facebook post from the Explorer dated Sunday, and Capt Frank Martinsen is still on board

From the UK and sailed out of San Juan every winter for 17 years - never had a problem and always English spoken first on board. Just got back from 6 weeks on the Jewel and far less guests from Puerto Rico than in previous years

We've sailed this RCI itinerary often out of San Juan and have usually boarded around 10:30-11:00am.
It was a bit slow clearing after the Thanksgiving cruise but I’m hoping it’s back to those sort of times this month

Njkruzer - Thank You - I'll do that. I am usually the first off. I just asked because the reboarding isn't until 3 pm.
I didn't post it to be shamed by "Be Kind / Don't be one that holds up the ship" ???
Was on Jewel in November and boarding was much earlier than 3pm - they wanted the ship cleared by 9.30

Already booked Europe 2025

Captains Table was alive and well in April on the Rhapsody

Wishing your husband a quick recovery

Is it a charter or a drydock?
It says charter on the emails

Just had notification that Rhapsody, sailing from San Juan, has been chartered for 3 consecutive cruises starting 16 February 2025 - has anyone any idea who this could be??

Great cabin and location...my hearing is pretty good, thus can't shut it out of my light sleeping nights. Of course Bucky is mostly deaf and would sleep right through it. 😉
That’s my problem, I tend to hear everything and once I’m awake…… yuk!!

We loved the balcony on 1100 and never had any noise problems from the WJ above (probably because that area is not open late), but a word of caution for those with motion problems - the beds on the aft facing balconies are oriented horizontally to the direction of the ship, so you will have a completely different sense of motion than in cabins where the beds point vertically to the direction.
I know what you mean about the beds but I’m used to aft cabins, just not the amount of noise I experienced on the Brilliance

We have had 1100 and did not have issues with noise from above. It is a great cabin and great balcony.
That’s good to know as I did have problems about 2am with a cabin in the middle of the aft on Brilliance last year on deck 10. I’d already booked 1100 when this happened

I’ve 6 weeks in 1100 in January, so I think I’d better take earth plugs
Of course I meant ear plugs!!

We adore 9256 as a favorite. Would rather have our usual choice of a JS on that size of ship, but unfortunately 1100 is directly below the outdoor WJ (which includes outdoor voice level talking) and as mentioned, the scraping of chairs and early morning, late evening cleaning.

Prices have definitely gone crazy - just looked at an 11 night cruise, Barcelona to Athens - as I now have to travel alone, it was going to be £5,500 for a balcony. Needless to say, I haven’t booked!!

Do you have any recommendations for a private transfer to Ravenna from Venice? That would be best for us with our luggage. Thanks!
Booked the transfer through Holiday Taxis - they worked out quite well last year but it’s definitely not cheap

We were in Bologna on a Friday night. It seems that for the best food you have to book your restaurant ahead. I was cross with DH because we got stuck with a mediocre restaurant because he would not go with our Air BnB owner’s recommendation when we checked in. By the time we went to book at about 7 pm it was too late.
I can imagine the disappointment!! The afternoon in Bologna on the return trip was great, just closed in the evening. Back to Venice in September

Let me put in a plug for flying to Venice for Ravenna. Last fall our cruise embarkation was moved from Venice to Ravenna. Instead of staying in Venice pre-cruise we spent a night in Padua – well worth a day! – and then took a private transfer to Ravenna – well worth a day or two! Flying non-stop to/from Venice meant we didn't have to worry about where our luggage was going once Delta's app told us it was on the plane! Once the new cruise terminal is built near Venice you won't have this great 'excuse' to see two interesting and out of the way Italian cities, so do it now!
Going back to the original in September (as we’ve done for many years) and flying into Venice with a private transfer arranged both ways to and from Ravenna. A stay in Venice either side of the cruises

Bologna is the closest airport to fly into. Last year, we chose to travel straight down and stay at a hotel in Ravenna - there are few taxis available to take you from
Ravenna to the actual port, which is still quite a distance away. If you chose this option, make sure you book a taxi at the hotel as soon as you arrive. We chose to stay in Bologna overnight on leaving the ship (Sunday) and fly out the next day. The plan was to have a nice meal in the evening to celebrate a friend’s birthday - there were plenty of restaurants in the vicinity of the hotel but none were open - apparently, they don’t open Sunday evenings!!!
