Rare terrydtx Posted April 3, 2022 #28 Share Posted April 3, 2022 I will also be following, I have enjoyed your prior "Live From" threads. In fact you were my inspiration for the one I did on the Equinox last August in our first Sky Suite and Retreat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeanieC,Aston Posted April 3, 2022 #31 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Looking forward to your blog. We are on the 21st when you get to Southampton,,hopefully you may find about the testing protocols for the 21st cruise on board before we do on land. I think Celebrity are keeping it a secret.🤐 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I retired in 2014 after 30+ years in Education. We celebrated with a Trans Pacific cruise with pre cruise time in Hawaii and post cruise in Sydney. Needless to say we didn’t anticipate a ‘pause’ to our travel over the last few years… 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kathy53 Posted April 3, 2022 #44 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Excited to follow you on your journey. We'll be boarding the Silhouette on May 7th on a B2B - Norwegian Fjords & Scandinavia cruises. Our journey continues to Amsterdam & Bruges for a Viking Rhine river cruise to Basel, Switzerland. Bon Voyage and have a great 'B3B'.

The avatar for every person who has posted on it has that little ship icon on it. Not sure what’s up with that. Have a great trip x 3 Thanks -- the Badge must be contagious. Maybe they will have a vaccine for it soon. I just checked on my iPhone and everyone has a Rocket icon but on PC Chemmo and I have a Ship and the word Rare over us.

I laughed that one of my thoughts was, "B3B, in suites... wonder how many CC points that will be." Not that you need them, I know 🙂 Really not as many as you would think . I have a spreadsheet where I track the. TA = 56, Spain/Portugal 108 and Norwegian Fjord 84 for a total of 348. which is a long way (1,572) short of hitting double Zenith. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ugh... Luckily his doctor agreed to a Phone Physical a couple hours later and lab work was done yesterday. Love all these last minute "emergencies" 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim_Iain Posted April 3, 2022 Author #50 Share Posted April 3, 2022 10 hours ago, chemmo said: Yes, I spotted it this morning and traced it back to the live review I did in September when we did a staycation cruise on Silhouette in the PH. I try to do a live review most cruises as ‘payback’ as I enjoy reading the posts of others so much! I feel a very humble member of a badge club now, my reviews are certainly not as exciting or visual as yours! You really have a wonderful itinerary. Have you visited Norway before? We cruised there a similar time of year to you and had fantastic weather. Cold if you were out of the sun but stunning beauty. Despite my foot being in an orthopaedic boot at the time we had a fantastic cruise. I agree, I started my live reviews as a payback. I have learned so much from everyone here and still learn new stuff daily. We have never been to Norway before so are really looking forward to it. This cruise is a little more difficult to pack for with everything to Tropical to Glacier weather. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
