That is such a shame. The HAL rep certainly didn’t do her job in my opinion. When we booked with CO, our PCC booked us lowest category of a suite then added CO and put us in the highest category-that is how it should work. I sure hope the CO dining experience improves for you too.

We had the HIA so figured I’d at least try it 🤦‍♀️ never again is right for me either!

@POA1 following along! I hope you know I took one for the team on our South Pacific cruise and tried a Weng Weng (or whatever it’s called). Hubby had to go get me a can of Sprite to keep diluting it 🤦‍♀️ The server thought it was pretty funny.

Have fun! Will follow along too.

We had a few doing their loud chats on our 35 day recent cruise-it was annoying while trying to eat breakfast or lunch in peace. When we wanted to chat with our grandkids we’d arrange to be back in our cabin to do that which, in my opinion, is where it should be done not in the public spaces.

@kazu Have a wonderful cruise! (PS I loved our 35 day South Pacific one)

Have you signed up on the roll call? That’s where you’ll find others who might share small groups etc.

Ryndam was our first ever cruise. I’ve signed up to follow along on the other thread.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

@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.

Here are a few of 7128.

We were in 7128 for the 35 day South Pacific cruise and just got home last night. No issues at all.

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.

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.

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.

Oh joy 🤦‍♀️…hope we get to the airport before it rains too much.

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 😂

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.

I honestly don’t know. We booked this cruise ages ago and I’m sure it wasn’t called Legendary at that time. We received regular tiles and then these ones so I am as surprised as everyone else. It has been a wonderful cruise and yes, I think it’s a work in progress. Plus the legendary bag too surprised us.

@GTVCRUISER if I lived near San Diego I’d be on a lot more cruises! We will be getting off as you get on. Have fun!

I hadn’t expected to like the snorkel with sharks but loved it and got so many videos. I’m so happy my old underwater camera worked so well. A few years back we did the snorkel with whale sharks in La Paz and that too was amazing. I also love snorkeling with turtles. Not sure where our next cruise will be as our son & his wife & their little one would like a Caribbean cruise & we’d love to go to watch over our grandson while they snorkeled. The only time they can go is January or February.
