USN59-79 Posted January 5, 2016 #78 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Hi Ruth, I have been to 55 countries before this cruise which will add 10 new ones to my list. Cambodia, Cook Islands, Greece, India, Indonesia, Jordan, Oman, Portugal, Sri Lanka, Vietnam Judy has been to 45 countries and she will add 14 to her list. All of mine are new to her as well, plus Spain, UAE, Israel and Thailand. Pete I am enjoying your blog. We have a lot in common; ex-Navy, 200+ days on the Amsterdam, and we did half of the WC in 2014. It is my understanding that HAL decided to avoid India on the 2016 cruise altho it was originally in the itinerary. Are you going there on a side trip?

Windy56 Posted January 5, 2016 #85 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Really enjoying your thread and loving the fact that you actually answer questions posed by your readers. I anticipate that this thread will not only be a highly entertaining read for me each day, but informative, as well. I am sure I will have a few questions, too. You have already answered my first question about storing luggage! My husband and I will be on the Amsterdam for the 2017 World Cruise. Your thread is only making us that much more excited! I hope you and your wife have a wonderful time. How incredibly fortunate we are to get to experience this kind of a voyage, whether it is in an inside cabin or suite. Life is good!

RMLincoln Posted January 5, 2016 #86 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Pete and Judy, I'm so grateful to you for sharing your first WC experience with us. We also are 3 star on HAL and we wonder what it would be like among the overwhelming majority of multi-WC cruisers, Presidents Club members and all the HAL elite who get their well deserved perks, but do the 3 Star first timers feel left out, or worse? I will be reading every word and I'm hoping your experience is excellent - and maybe we'll have our chance in a few years. :) m-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Bimmer09 Posted January 5, 2016 #87 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Thanks for sharing what will be an incredible adventure with us!

muffin Posted January 5, 2016 #89 Share Posted January 5, 2016 CC members mention subscribing to this thread. I assume that means you get notified when a new OP thread is sent or such. hOw do I do this? I found subscriptions on the cp page, but it didn't tell me how to list something I want to know about each time it arrives at CC. can you help? Is my understanding of what a subscription is even correct? Thx a lot...I would love to follow along on this fab journey. mArg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Vict0riann Posted January 6, 2016 #94 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Some of us are watching your ship on the Port Everglades webcam, so we will be waving to you as you leave - but the ship's bow is still lit up, so I guess it will be a little while yet!
