We also just completed this years cruise. Yes, the sea days can be a bit boring, but you can certainly find things to do. In our opinion, the port stops in French Polynesia made the sea days worth it! We hate flying and love cruising so it was the best of both worlds. We booked again for 2026.

You were lucky. When we went down we first walked to the middle elevators. The line was past the atrium and we got in just after Rudi's. It went all the way into the dining room, turned around and then all the way back down deck 2 to the theater. As we were coming down towards the theater, the line had grown all the way down to Billboard. It moved but was still frustrating as clearly people were trying to get into line wherever they could and not everyone followed directions. There were many people in line with their rolling carryons. People on scooters were having a rough time because there really wasn't enough room for two lines plus people just trying to walk through. The good news was, that in spite of everything, we made our flight and are all home safely. It was a wonderful trip and I totally agree that a 7 day cruise will be a very strange feeling. Good thing my next one is 13 nights.

we were on Tahiti by Boat with everyone on the 8th. It was wonderful. I would do it again. We didn’t get to see the dolphins doing any spins but the rest was great.

you are correct - you are beautiful!

We are on this cruise with you. We just got off Icon a little over a week ago so this will be a big difference in ship size. I do prefer the size of Koningsdam for itineraries like this. See you soon!

I went down to get coffee at 6:00 a.m. and they were already letting folks off. I was surprised.

oh trust me, on a cruise this long and this pricey, I will get what I want!

How much are they now? I thought I saw they were only $12, so wouldn’t that just be $1.18? Need to budget my 35 day cruise and I love Lemon Drops. 😂

Thank you. I think I’ll be better off just paying the upcharge for the couple drinks per day that may be over $11.

How much was it to upgrade (per day?)?

I really appreciate your showing pictures of how you organize your room. It has given me many great ideas over the years. Thanks!!

now it looks like they are offloading the pilot.

Really looking forward to following you on this adventure. I really enjoyed following your TA so this is a plus. We are on Koningsdam for the first time in February for the 35 night trip to Hawaii and Tahiti.

For main dining room food, I think all ships should have the same options. I wouldn't want Jewel to be of a lower level than Wonder. With the larger ships you have more dining options. I hope that is what you are referring to.

We were to be on the Allure WB in 2020 as well. We have rebooked for Symphony WB next October (2023). Sorry we will miss you all on Wonder.
