I was trying to find a last minute cruise on Oceania for either next month or April but everything I look at (that I would want) is wait listed. I was looking at Princess too but the ships are so big....... Elyce, have you sailed on the the new Discovery? Are you happy with Princess?

More for me😃

Hi Sherri, hope you have a wonderful trip😃I sailed on that ship once back around 2018 maybe........I know it was before Covid. From memory, it is actually not such a big ship (compared to the GIANT Royal ships). I remember that cruise because I shared a cabin with my sister. As much as I love her, I realized after that, I am never sharing a cabin with anyone again LOL

Hi girls, hope everyone is having a good week. Thinking of Melody and Les and hoping they are having a good cruise😃

Hi John, it looks like the moderators moved the thread for you.....it is now on the SS forum.

Good morning, I agree with Crystal and suggest you post this over on the Silversea forum. I will post a quick answer for you on the solo guest question. I have sailed with SS since 2017 (I only sail solo) and I love them.😃 There are some other solo guests who post on their forum too so you will get more answers over there.

Lol, that is ok....it's nice you went twice in 5 months!

Really? I did not know they have Alaskan cruises in November. Is this something new?

We had rain here on and off all day. Really yucky outside. But after seeing what is going on in California, my rain was minor. Hope everyone out there will be safe. And for some reason, the rinse cycle on my washer didn't work correctly......I did laundry this morning and the spin cycle worked but when I took the clothes out they were heavy, like all the water did not come out. It was really weird. It took twice as long for me to dry everything. What a pain. And I am still looking for a cruise........

The only social media site I am on is here..........I don't do FB and have never tweeted in my life. I can't remember the last time I gave my last name out to anyone on here and as for folks who give out all kinds of info on their roll calls? That is their choice. I don't really care what they give or don't give.

Hi John, as you can see, there are multiple different responses. I have had people ask me on board if I tip extra and how much......in my opinion, this is a very personal decision and I would never tell anyone to tip extra and I would never give an amount. That is up to you. If you are on a ship for (example) a 2 week cruise, just use your own judgement if you want to give extra $ and how much.

Hi, I also agree with the solo cruiser assessment. I always sail solo and feel very welcomed and it is easy to meet other people too.😃 I hope you have a great cruise!

Melody, hope it is a wonderful, relaxing cruise for both of you😃

Hi Melissa, yes, I looked at them.......nothing seems to fit.......they have 2 options I was researching but neither one is working for me.

Hi Kaf, hope things improve for you with the new boss and that you have a better day tomorrow.

Hope you have a great cruise😃

Good morning, great purchases Melody😃 and Cynthia, I love that crossbody bag too! I don't remember searching for cruises this much in a long time......I guess I am still just not sure what I want to do.....at least I have the time to do it LOL.......I will keep looking. I have some good news about my glucose numbers. I am not sure if I posted this but I got a new meter and the other stuff......needles, lancets, etc.......I have to wonder if the Januvia is a much better medicine than what I was talking previously? My numbers have come way down. (which of course is a good thing). I am sticking my finger once a day. .

Good morning, everyone seems to have a different opinion about every ship. Dawn is one of my favorites (if not the favorite)😃I have sailed her 4 times and would book her again.

Hi Jazz, thanks for the "Live From".....glad you are both enjoying yourselves😃

They are on Whisper.

Hi, I think a closed toe kitten heel would be good on any cruise line, Royal, Celebrity, HAL, Princess, etc...etc.....etc........ I don't even wear heels anymore. A small wedge or a ballet flat is what works for me.

Hi Melody, I have never worn them but have seen ads on line. Google them a d you can see what they are about.

Hi PH, thanks for the post. I will keep looking.

Hi, I realized that after I typed the post. So you really cannot sit outside......so what is the point of it? I will keep looking because I like to sit outside too.

Hi again....Melody, looking at Celebrity again and they must have changed something.....I found a Caribbean Cruise that has a great price (for a solo) new ship too........bigger than I am normally used to but I am definitely thinking about it. It is a 7 night cruise on "Ascent"......sailing out of Ft. Lauderdale in one of the new "Single Infinite" balcony cabins.
