kba1988 Posted October 12, 2012 #126 Share Posted October 12, 2012 After several hours of dictation and backseat typing for "Day 1", he settles into a freshly made bed of white cotton sheets, pillow chocolates, luggage tags, and the evening's Freestyle Daily, as he falls asleep dreaming of his next adventure. Ben at home in bed with reminders of his adventure, a big smile on his face, and a bit of a tan? Thanks everyone for helping Ben relive his stellar adventure. The End...? BRAVO!!! One of the very best reviews!!! Thank you for making me feel like I was right there with you and Ben!!!:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecatsmeow Posted October 12, 2012 #127 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Loved reading your review. :) Everyday I would come home from work and check for updates.

mariana31 Posted October 12, 2012 #129 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Thank you so much for this fantastic review! I have recently started to travel alone and your review has encouraged me to look into other cruise ships besides the Epic and Breakaway. Not to mention, Ben has inspired a few ideas for my second cruise ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really am glad so many people enjoyed the review and "got it". Aww no worries. Rumor has it Ben might soon be secretly headed on a secret mission aboard a different cruise line to Bermuda again no less. He might spend the one port day in Hamilton or on board taking lots of pics. If he gives his butler a raise he might get a comparison review typed up. :rolleyes: Enjoyed this so much. Ben looks great with a tan.:) Ben's "tan" was from getting scuffed in my back pocket after Horseshoe Bay I think. Maybe he'll don some Armor All for his next trip. :) BRAVO!!! One of the very best reviews!!! Thank you for making me feel like I was right there with you and Ben!!! Wow. Thanks. :o Thank you so much for this fantastic review! I have recently started to travel alone and your review has encouraged me to look into other cruise ships besides the Epic and Breakaway. Not to mention, Ben has inspired a few ideas for my second cruise Glad you enjoyed it. I've never been in the studio so really looking for to it. Much easier to have all the solos in one place rather than guess who's at the "Solo Get Together" but luckily everything worked out fab. Yeah, there are some really good deals out there too besides Epic and uber pricey Breakaway. The Breakaway studios are more expensive than the inside cabins! Sad face.

patter44 Posted October 12, 2012 #132 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Day 4 - Arriving in Heritage Wharf, Royal Naval Dockyard (continued)Ben explores St. George and Fort St. Catherine What's a circus cannon doing here? Kyle, what a fabulousl job you and Ben did on this review. This is definitely one of the best I've ever read on CC. Above is my favorate pix (although the beach pix are close seconds). I was looking at the cannon trying to relate it to the caption and then I noticed Ben's head sticking out and I couldn't stop laughing :D :D :D. It was great meeting you on this cruise and I'm looking foward to your reviews for your upcoming cruises!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad "we" didn't get to spend more time together with you and Peter. (I'm going to have to get all my pronouns straightened out after this. :eek:) Amazing how big the ship truly is that you can never run into the same people twice. It's a small sea and hopefully we can join another of your M&G's :D lady_mac, glad you enjoyed it! riddle, LOL Ben got to travel for free but his butler had to pay the 200% supplement. Sigh. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nina_930 Posted October 12, 2012 #139 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Great review, sad to hear it end. I leave Sunday and it has gotten me super excited for it. If you are not a writter for a living, you should look into writing childrens books. I have a feeling your free spirit and great story telling skills would be great with it!
