chipz Posted November 3, 2020 #1782 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Dear Ellie, I just finished the virtual cruise to Fiji. What a wonderful trip, and you are such a gifted writer and photographer. I'm looking forward to the Hawaii cruise. We've sailed on the Ruby there twice and look forward to sailing again with you. Our bags are packed and I can hear the ukuleles and feel the warm tradewinds, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cruisequeen4ever Posted January 6, 2021 #1786 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Wow wow wow!! You have quite a gift for the written word, which I’m sure came in especially handy as you went through the recovery of your voice. God bless you for all you went through with that; I never could have returned to teaching if I endured that. I truly don’t think you could have done a better job of taking us all along with you, away from the harsh realities of now to a world we cruisers yearn to explore. Thank you! What you said about Princess feeling like home is exactly what we feel every time we set foot aboard a Princess ship. I was going to request that you please regale us with another treasured cruise blog, and I see you already started one; thank you!! Happy New Year, and I wish you a bright future of cruises! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you so much, cruisequeen4ever! I’m so glad you have joined us on this virtual cruise and I am really pleased that it has provided an escape from the terrible events unfolding across the world. I simply cannot wait to set foot on a Princess ship, and to feel again that special ambiance that awaits us. Yes, it truly is like coming home, and it’s a relief to walk up the ramps and into the heart of the ship, like ‘at last!’ Let’s hope that one day we will both be able to ‘come home.’ I hope you will join us on Ruby Princess for a Hawaiian adventure. So grab your passport and hop onboard. Wishing you, too, a very Happy New Year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USCcruisecrazy Posted January 22, 2021 #1788 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Hi Ellie, I was following you on another Virtual Crusie when I saw this one and decided to get a late start (well, actually, you were far beyond complete before I even started...LOL). I thouroghly enjoyed all 69 pages and the 2,567 photos (give or take a few). It was incredible journey, but not only because I had never been to these places before, it was really the way you presented it all. I love your hidden sense of humor, your attention to detail, and your ability to hold the audience. Very well done! I look forward to your next adventure. In the meantime, enjoy those grands...I am traveling to Las Vegas in 18 days to visit my 2 beautiful granddaughters! Peace and many blessings to you and your DH. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have only just found your post and I would like to thank you for your very kind comments. I have thoroughly enjoyed doing this virtual cruise and also the Hawaii one, although the birth of my little grandson has caused me to be AWOL from that recently. I am so pleased that you have enjoyed the blog, and hope that you will continue to enjoy it. Very best wishes to you and your family. Hope you had a wonderful visit with your granddaughters. What a joy it is to be a grandparent. I am in seventh heaven at the moment, and am just immersing myself in the miracle that is a new baby. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for your kind words (well mostly kind 🤣🤣) So glad you found the review helpful. Better late than never! 🤣🤣. Hope you enjoy your Sydney trip. It’s a wonderful place to visit, and I’d love to return one day. If you do happen to find the Hawaii thread I would be most grateful if you could post the link to it as I’ve been unable to find it despite numerous searches. I want to send it to a friend who is planning a cruise in the near future and wants to read it. Many thanks and have a fantastic trip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope to see you soon. Malama Pono from the islands. Aloha dear Cruising Adventurer! How lovely to hear from you again. I hope you are keeping well. Are you in Hawaii at the moment? We long to return to those wonderful islands. They captured our hearts. Things have been a bit hectic for the last 18 months, with a return to lots of cruising, and spending time with my lovely little grandson. Early on Monday morning we had the joyful news that his mummy had given birth to our first granddaughter so we’ve been busy looking after Thomas. However, I have started planning my next ‘adventure’ which will chart our journey back to cruising during Covid. We’ve sailed on lots of different ships - Royal, Sky, Enchanted, Ruby plus Wonder of the Seas, Harmony of the Seas, Jewel of the Seas, Anthem of the Seas, QM2 and MSC Virtuosa. It’s been fascinating to see how things have changed and evolved over the last 18 months and we’ve enjoyed every one of those cruises, despite mask wearing, vaccinations, testing and more testing. We have been thrilled to have had the opportunity to sail on half empty ships with crew who greeted you with genuine warmth and gratitude. It’s been an amazing experience. So hopefully it won’t be too long before I am able to welcome you to join me on another cruising adventure.
