Rare A&L_Ont Posted March 22, 2023 Author #2885 Share Posted March 22, 2023 We have been home for a few days and want to wrap up our household’s final thoughts. We had an amazing time this cruise. Every cruise is typically amazing, but this time it wasn’t just the ship, the ports, the shows, that made it that way. It was the people we were with. When I booked this cruise on March 7th of 2021 who knew that years later that it would be more than we expected. I have become virtual friends with many here on CC over the years from my live reviews. Being a part of The Daily Thread started by @dani negreanu and The Friends of Bell page started by @John&LaLa brought more of us closer together. A two year build up from booking to sailing certainly did help. This review wasn’t like one of my regular reviews, because it was so more than that. I have to thank my fellow reviewers and “guest” contributors that were on board the ship. Greg, John, Sue and I “talked” for multiple weeks before the sailing, to give this review direction. It just wasn’t one of us, it was all of us. We worked together and I was the fortunate one to take it live. It felt like we did it all; from limoncello tasting, to a slot pull, the Schooner Bar nightly, reported Owen sightings about the ship, a final farewell to a loved one, and the Quest just to name a few. That was over and above ports of call, joint meals and random meet-ups around the ship. Thank-you for those that read at home, to those who posted from the ship and my fellow live reviewers, who were just as live as me. I also want to thank our four legged friend Bella. Give that pup a chin rub John, and some ice cream. She is the one that brought us all together, and she has no idea of what she accomplished. She has made us all friends for life. 40 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare A&L_Ont Posted March 22, 2023 Author #2886 Share Posted March 22, 2023 (edited) As I was putting my final thoughts together it make me think of the ending of a classic 80s movie, The Breakfast Club. Dear Cruise Critic Members. We accept the fact that we had to survive a whole week on a cruise during Spring Break. But we thought you're crazy to make us write a review, telling you who we think we are. You see us as you want to see us - in the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions. But what we found out is that one of us is a flow rider and story teller…another is a great organizer with Lady Luck on her side...one is the keeper of Bella and master vintner...and the last is a great documentarian and expert of bourbon. What we have in common, is a life long friendship. Does that answer your question? Sincerely yours, The Bella Club.

Summed it up perfectly Andrew👍🏻 It was all about the people, the ship and the itinerary played second fiddle So many new friendships formed and older ones reacquainted I made a great connection with Owen, and the short amount of time we spent at Maya Key made me feel very young again 😎 If ever you try to book 1720 or 1724 for March and it is already booked, you know where to find us Happy Days! Thank you again for taking the helm with the live (Kudos to Greg, John and Sue) Not to be missed The 4 Musketeers ⚔️ Edited March 22, 2023 by PompeySailor 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldnt mind a southern 9 day myself. .. though PC has 8 days. I was on this cruise and dont know how the dates were chosen or who was in on the deciding. I'm with seadog and would like oct, usually cheaper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
