It's reassuring and lovely. Jeff,you're still alive. That's great news 😀 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a Hollander America ship, not sure which one, but I’m sure somebody can tell us which HAL ship is in Auckland. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare crusinbanjo Posted December 28, 2022 #15455 Share Posted December 28, 2022 (edited) Hi Lois, Logos we’re my business for 30 years………. And Mrs Banjo and I sailed on Hollander America many times when they had smaller ships. hope you are well, looking forward to your next cruise. Theresa and I will be cruising the Nile River in March. Next SS cruise is not in the very near future, possibly in the fall. Hope our paths cross again sometime.

If you zoom in on the picture and look below-and-to-the-left of the HAL funnels it says “Noordam”. I checked on marine traffic and it shows HAL Noordam in Auckland. Nice picture! 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am looking for our next cruise to celebrate my 60 b-day in 2023. So far I couldnd decide, so many options. Nile is a good choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking at Scenic, which I think is the river cruise line closest to Silversea in luxury and design. https://www.scenicusa.com/escorted-tours/egypt---jordan [the ScenicUSA website is slow, but it does work.

Rare drron29 Posted December 28, 2022 #15461 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Scenic doesn’t have a great reputation in its home country Australia. Very hard to get a refund if things go wrong. We were booked on their original expedition ship Eclipse. We don’t do inaugural cruises so booked one 15 months after proposed inaugural cruise. However our cruise turned out to be the inaugural cruise and it was touch and go if it would take place. We cancelled 6 months before it happened and only got refund 3 months after the cruise. Absolutely pleased that we cancelled as the reviews were scathing as the ship was not in a completed state and work was being done throughout that and the next cruise. Google Scenic and Rhine river litigation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree with Dr. Ron. Two separate couples we know chose Scenic on different itineraries and from their reports, Scenic isn’t even close to being in the same league as SS. Best stick with the proven luxury leaders for your river cruise. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Lois R Posted December 28, 2022 #15466 Share Posted December 28, 2022 I have never sailed with Tauck but I have gone on Uniworld and would highly recommend them. All inclusive and I loved them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worked very well. Yes, luxury style and many extra, special venues, etc. The pricing is higher than normal, but they do aim to be much higher than just "average". THANKS! Enjoy!

Rare drron29 Posted December 29, 2022 #15472 Share Posted December 29, 2022 So reverting to my travel ambassador role for down under. For the previous 16 years I worked mainly in our southern state Tasmania. I worked there for 4 of the previous 5 Christmases. I never saw our Southern Aurora as good as it has been since Boxing Day this year. Some amazing pictures and the first 2 having a meteor as well as the Aurora. Enjoy. 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
