Rare Eli_6 Posted June 7, 2023 Author #252 Share Posted June 7, 2023 (edited) Hoping to see them on the way out, but it might be dark. Also, may not be able to stay awake that long. I don't know why, but I got really motion sick last night (ship was moving but nothing crazy) and put on a scopolomine patch and have been super sleepy ever since. I even fell asleep on our tour bus and my husband and kids said I was snoring. We went into town this morning and walked around Amsterdam. At 2, we left on an excursion to an old-timey village with windmills. It was cool. Then we went to a cheese making place and got to sample the cheeses. I literally purchased about 100 euros of cheese. Hope customs doesn't take it. Not sure what the rule is on cheese.

soccermom4 Posted June 9, 2023 #262 Share Posted June 9, 2023 Looks like you had a fun cruise. How did debarkation go? Heard that self-assist were all called by 6:40 am. We're not planning self-assist - and will be on Deck 4 in a couple of weeks. Still trying to get a feel for when to have my hired van arrive. Had it reserved for 9 am - but sounds like maybe a bit earlier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Eli_6 Posted June 10, 2023 Author #263 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Internet is terrible where I am. Debark super smooth. We were at dover priory train station by 6:10 am. In Cambridge by 9:30 am. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Eli_6 Posted June 13, 2023 Author #267 Share Posted June 13, 2023 We are finally back home! So glad to be back home even though the cruise was awesome! 1000 times better than last year. It was exhausting, though. An AMAZING vacation but definitely not a relaxing one with so many port days. We carried off and were off before 6 am. Went to Cambridge then came back to London for 2 days. It was hot in London and even hotter in Houston. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
