FlorenceItaly Posted June 17, 2004 #1 Share Posted June 17, 2004 It still seems like a dream. This is my first solo cruise, and my first cruise on HAL(previous cruises Carnival and RCI). I am anticipating a delightful time...how could I not, with this wonderful itinerary. I am blessed . At some point, I am meeting up with 2 CC'ers from the board, and am looking forward to that. Thanks for all the help you have given me. I really enjoy this board. I'll be home the 27th, and will post a review.

F5Loar Posted June 18, 2004 #19 Share Posted June 18, 2004 Be sure and send us a photo in your first Dutch hat on Dutch night. Do the Pinnacle at least once and enjoy the fresh popcorn at the Wanjang Theatre. Rain didn't dampen our week at all nor did the cold. Don't be afraid to ask for a second escargo or lobster tail!

FlorenceItaly Posted June 18, 2004 Author #20 Share Posted June 18, 2004 F5Loar - I intend on dining at the Pinnacle, even if it is by myself....I love filet mignon . I really don't want to miss out on the experience of this special restaurant. And, I do plan to go to the Wanjang Theatre with popcorn and a coffee from the Java Cafe.
