Rare Jim_Iain Posted December 16, 2022 Author #1055 Share Posted December 16, 2022 After a 30 minute rest to rehydrate (was about 78) we decided to Uber back to the port. Total cost including 20% tip (really good driver and gave us a bit of a tour in way back). $11.00 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark_T Posted December 16, 2022 #1056 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Thanks again for all the great photos, I swear you do more to effectively market these itineraries than Celebrity 🙂 We've added a few to our bucket list just based on your previous threads... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Oceansaway17 Posted December 16, 2022 #1059 Share Posted December 16, 2022 enjoying your posts with nice photos. You two just have so much fun. May 2024 have nice adventures for you as well.

Rare Jim_Iain Posted December 16, 2022 Author #1060 Share Posted December 16, 2022 (edited) One reason we chose Whalewatching Cabos is that they offer free photos of our Whale Watching excursion. I wasn't expecting much but was blown away by the skill of a professional photographer. While an iPhone does a decent job there is no comparison to a SLR with a big telephoto lens.

I fought the idea of being locked on a ship for a whole 7 day. Thought I would go stark raving mad. I was immediately addicted. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Glasgow, Belfast, and Cork. That sounds like an incredible trip. Is it on Celebrity. An overnight in Reykjavik will be incredible. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess Celebrity has made adjustments. I envy you. While we loved the B2B not sure if I would do it again. I think I would enjoy spending a week in Iceland pre or post cruise. Many of those on our Roll Call did and their stories and photos were incredible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare asnaleah Posted December 16, 2022 #1067 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Your photos are absolutely stunning Jim! We returned home last evening from the beautiful Silhouette. I didn’t do a “live from” because we didn’t do too much besides eat, drink and sun. I will work on a post-cruise review - as soon as I finish the laundry and clear the snow from my car! Since you are looking around at other cruise lines, take a look at Regent. We loved our 17 days on Voyager in June. She’s an older ship, but in very good shape and the service was outstanding! I’m not sure I would choose Regent for a “ship is the destination” cruise, but for a port heavy cruise I absolutely would. The included excursions are a great value. We are sailing on the newest ship, Grandeur, in May of 2024. Thank you so much for all you do to help your fellow cruisers. Happy travels!

Rare Jim_Iain Posted December 17, 2022 Author #1069 Share Posted December 17, 2022 Hearing new passenger counts for the next two cruises. Latest I've heard is 1,800+ on 12/18 cruise and New Years Cruise 3,200 with lots of kids. Been getting different numbers from different staff. I'll see if I can get a better estimate. They did say the numbers have been going up and down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really interested in testing the market out there. We had out first booked and the cruise line went bankrupt so kinda gave us a pause until things had settled down.

Our very first cruise was on Voyager back when it was still Radisson, not Regent, we have also sailed on Navigator, and we would certainly second looking at Regent. Can't argue with trying expedition ships while you are both still fit and mobile as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizmo42 Posted December 17, 2022 #1075 Share Posted December 17, 2022 Hi Jim. Thank you for taking us along on your cruise. Your reviews are always fun and informative.
