Rare CruiserFromMaine Posted January 14 #2051 Share Posted January 14 Are you technically on the world cruise now, but the pre-cruise gala is in LA? We were on the first segment of a world cruise on Crystal from Miami to LA and that’s how they did it so I’m curious. Thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let us know how the evening was especially the meal, please. Lola Thank you Lola! Myster will bring his phone. I should have photos available tomorrow. 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That cruise sails tomorrow from San Francisco with new passengers embarking then. We are currently on the last couple days of the cruise that sailed from Fort Lauderdale to San Francisco. There are 12 of us continuing on for the World Cruise. Passengers embarking tomorrow for the World Cruise are overnighting at the San Francisco Fairmont Hotel tonight. The pre-cruise Gala is being held tonight at San Francisco City Hall. Transportation has been arranged to take us to the site from the ship departing from here at 6:45 pm. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting as that is often the approach (to have the gala on shore) but the Regent WC gala was on the ship with the same menu in all restaurants. I think I’d prefer on shore, since I’d be seeing enough of the ship coming up but maybe it makes for an easier experience for the pax to just get on board and stay on. I’m looking forward to hearing all about it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kej1 Posted January 14 #2058 Share Posted January 14 I saw you cruise in today from my home! Lovely to see and lucky you as it’s beautiful and sunny today whereas yesterday was raining and gloomy! Have a great time! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mysty Posted January 14 Author #2059 Share Posted January 14 We were delayed arriving because of weather. We will be docked here overnight. We will move to where we were supposed to dock tomorrow. Mother Nature threw a monkey wrench into the plan. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Host Jazzbeau Posted January 14 #2063 Share Posted January 14 I like the way the sky complements the color of the bridge in no. 3. [For years Herb Cain campaigned to have the bridge painted gold to match its name, but apparently it was either prohibitively expensive or that paint wouldn't last well. Surprisingly, he never suggested the rich people of Marin County could contribute their spare gold leaf...] 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lincslady Posted January 15 #2065 Share Posted January 15 I hope you had a lovely evening. Was it just for those doing the whole voyage? (World Cruises being something of a mystery (no pun intended) to those who have not had the chance of doing one). Sorry about those double brackets. I await with bated breath to reading about it, and guess you will be sailing later today. Lola 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myster took pictures and will upload them to me later today. The venue was spectacular. The meal was very good. Entertainment was a violinist, a drummer and 4 dancers performing on the spectacular staircase. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mysty Posted January 15 Author #2067 Share Posted January 15 It seems the ship will not be moving to a new docking today. Passengers will embark and disembark from our current location. This will be a challenge for everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Gourmet Gal Posted January 15 #2068 Share Posted January 15 At least it looks like another lovely day. An atmospheric river is coming soon though and hopefully you’ll be out of its impact zone when you sail out. Where to after SF? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mysty Posted January 15 Author #2071 Share Posted January 15 Today is embarkation day. We spent the morning and early afternoon on the pool deck to keep out of the way of the staff and crew scurrying to prepare for all the embarking guests. When we returned to the suite there were some lovely goodies. I love the brown hat! 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
