Celest1022 Posted December 9, 2011 #1 Share Posted December 9, 2011 This is our second day at sea and it's been smooth sailing. The ocean waves have been considered slight. The temp right now outside 60 degrees. It has been chilly since sail-away but I've noticed today it's getting better to sit out on our balcony. We saw British Invasion last night and it's a very good production. We haven't had any luck in the casino but that's not abnormal for us. The ship looks good all decked out with Christmas trimmings. I don't know how often I'll be on here but if anyone has any questions, I'll try to answer them. Aloha for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celest1022 Posted December 10, 2011 Author #7 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Hi Thanks for posting LIVE...Good Luck in the Casino and Please make sure and tell Vanessa the Casino Host that Rene & Teri Said Hi.... HAVE A FUN CRUISE AND WIN ALOT... Hey LaCal,,my buddy!!! Well we did ask for Vanessa but she is now on another ship or vacation. Those Pla:Dt machines are taking our moolaaa. Altho, I got on a Diamond Quick pic and I played forever and no bonus rounds but told hubby as we were leaving to play my machine ,,I felt it was ready to do something and low and behold,,he got 20 round plus 3 plus 5 extra round then he hit another 3 bonus rounds total of 50 times 3 rounds. He was able to get my money back. Now that was fun!!!!!! The ocean has been very smooth for us. Thanks for all the advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovevacadays Posted December 10, 2011 #8 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Is this the first time you have done this itinerary? I'll be curious to know how you like it. I like sea days but have a little hesitancy about this cruise as it seems there are more sea days than port days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Addie Francis Posted December 10, 2011 #11 Share Posted December 10, 2011 We were on the Golden sailing on Nov 9 and had the most wonderful time. Just loved the ship and felt very relaxed. I joined the passenger choir and it was a lot of fun. Don't miss out on the panini in the piazza - yummy. It was fun lei making. Enjoy Addie Francis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celest1022 Posted December 10, 2011 Author #19 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Day 3 at sea. The weather has finally getting very nice. You can comfortably sit out on your balcony in t-shirts. Definately getting much nicer. Low clouds. The waves are a bit up but not bad. I have only seen 2 kids on board. Our room steward is leaving the ship in Honolulu. His contract is up. Not sure if others are going as well. This is our 3rd cruise to Hawaii in the last 3 yrs and I haven't seen any changes, (which is good) other then the weather, the first few days. Aloha for now!!!

Bucky3 Posted December 11, 2011 #21 Share Posted December 11, 2011 (edited) I have read recent reports on CC that lava is again flowing into the ocean between Hilo and Kona. Just wondering if your Captain might route your ship by the volcano flow. We're hoping that might happen also on the December 21st cruise?

You'll be missing some rain Monday and Tuesday back home (unless the fronts shift). Have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering if your Captain might route your ship by the volcano flow. We're hoping that might happen also on the December 21st cruise? I know they are hoping that will happen but the recent USGS info says they think it is flowing into the ocean, but that they haven't seen anything. It would be cool if it was. I also checked a couple of excursions we wanted to take that took boats out to see the lava flow and they are not running again at this time.

It would be cool if it was. I also checked a couple of excursions we wanted to take that took boats out to see the lava flow and they are not running again at this time. I stand corrected. Lava hit the water yesterday/today. One of the vendors is running again, but we will have a hard time using them for our cruise due to the departure times (either before we arrive or after we leave). I have sent a message to another vendor to see if they are going to start up again as their hours worked better for our cruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
