Thanks. no corrections yet ;) B2B? I had you as a B2B before the Eurodam was cancelled and now there is a wait to get on the Koningsdam (4 days I believe?) so I took the B2B off since there is a gap now between cruises and there is not a turn a round day ????????

But I'm not leaving Fort Lauderdale. [whine - :D] There is a 4 day gap between my river cruise and the QM2 in June 2016 and I even have to get from Nice to Southampton, isn't that considered a B2B. Just trying to learn the terminology and apply it correctly. Thanks. Looks like a long day in port - Oosterdam is very late - but moving very quickly to get here, over 23 knots.

Just trying to learn the terminology and apply it correctly. Thanks. Looks like a long day in port - Oosterdam is very late - but moving very quickly to get here, over 23 knots. A B2B is normally when you are boarding for a new cruise on the same day as the day you disembark from your other cruise. It can be on the same ship or a different one. As an example, two of our mutual roll call members are sailing on the N Amsterdam two days after our Westerdam cruise. Their cruises are not listed as a B2B because of the gap. hope this helps. If you reported your river cruise incorrectly, then I can amend it if you want. Non HAL cruises are listed as a courtesy - I don't check them but rely on those posting to give me accurate information. This is a voluntary "job" after all ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare kazu Posted January 21, 2016 Author #44 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Eurodam January 28, 2017Eastern Caribbean Happy to add this one for you :) Do chartered sailings count? It is a HAL ship after all. Eurodam, February 28, 2016 The 80s Cruise, 7d Eastern Caribbean They most certainly do. So the charter is the 80's cruise? I can't usually pick up a charter's itinerary, but if you let me know the ports, I'll try to find one that mimics it on the HAL site for your Bon Voyage. Thanks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't usually pick up a charter's itinerary, but if you let me know the ports, I'll try to find one that mimics it on the HAL site for your Bon Voyage. Itinerary is: Ft.Lauderdale, At Sea, Grand Turk, San Juan, St. Thomas, At Sea, Half Moon Cay, Ft. Lauderdale.

mcsean Posted January 22, 2016 #49 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Hi Jacqui, How are you and Jose? I was thinking of taking the grand tour of South America on the Prinsendam next January. I am sure you have probably taken it. Do you recommend it? I am thinking of giving up my adjunct job as I am missing out on a lot of nice trips. My agent recommends this one; What do think? Best, Tom Johnson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best, Tom Johnson Hi Tom. Sorry I haven't done it, have done S. America and loved. Jose and I are fine except I just had surgery on the elbow so 1 handed typing here. Why not start a thread on the board asking the question? The ones I know who have done it really enjoyed it. A grand Voyage on the EE would be great in my opinion :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
