I've just caught up with your "travel travails"! Wow, that was a nail biter! I think you'll enjoy how much easier it is to sleep in an inside cabin. It's especially good when you have a white noise app on your phone to play. Cuts down on outside noise waking you up. Hope you have a great cruise! 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildwinny Posted December 21, 2023 #155 Share Posted December 21, 2023 Have a wonderful cruise. We did this itinerary last January and had a great trip. If you go to the Crow's Nest bar please say hello to Kathy and Glen for us - Kathleen and Paul from Kansas City. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canadianbear Posted December 21, 2023 #157 Share Posted December 21, 2023 Just caught up on your ordeal. Yikes! Glad you’ve now made it to San Diego & will be on the ship napping soon. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SusieKIslandGirl Posted December 21, 2023 #158 Share Posted December 21, 2023 One thing we found that was helpful when in an inside cabin-depending on when you want to get up and when sunrise is, you can set your tv to the bow cam, with the sound off, and it helps you sort of know what time it might be. A gradual wake-up, if you want to wake up with the sun🙂. 9 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will try that when we are travelling in an inside cabin for the first time in October!!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisercl Posted December 21, 2023 #160 Share Posted December 21, 2023 (edited) Oh my goodness, look at you girl, on a BHB again already!

Hogladyrider Posted December 22, 2023 #162 Share Posted December 22, 2023 @Haljo1935....where did you go? Guessing you got on board in your cabin and crashed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oaktreerb Posted December 22, 2023 #163 Share Posted December 22, 2023 (edited) I’m guessing that the ship didn’t sail on time. A Holland America ship was still at the dock at 4:45 (local newscast background shot). Sorry about the cool weather in San Diego, we’re waiting for rain tonight around midnight. Have a wonderful cruise. Maybe that was the Volendam I saw on the news. They were supposed to sail at 5;00. San Diego port is a mess with two ships coming and going. Somehow the ships manage to get on their way! Edited December 22, 2023 by oaktreerb 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAllenTCY Posted December 22, 2023 #164 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Late departure today is due loading food and beverages. Everything you can imagine had to be replenished....pallets of sugar, flour, bottled water, wine, watermelons, bananas, paper goods, ice cream, beers, etc. The pier had over 100 left to load when I left to go home at 4:10 pm.

We finally started moving around 630. 2 bow cam pictures 622pm & 634pm - you can just see the water at the bow. And aft cam at 622pm. 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruinboy Posted December 22, 2023 #169 Share Posted December 22, 2023 As we are taking a similar cruise out of San Diego on Feb 17, I am curious about how the weather (temps) are for the first two sea days out of San Diego? I hope you got a good night's sleep and am looking forward to updates. It's very kind of you to be taking all of us along on your journey. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The weather is cool as you sail from/to San Diego for a couple of days which is typical of this area in the winter. The blanket in your stateroom will be welcome if you have a balcony. No bowl game again this year for Big Red. 🌽. Looking for improvement in the future. 🙏 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the bright side it will probably feel warmer than Nebraska in mid-February. About a bowl game ... it's been a looong drought. Recruited two good quarterbacks. Great defense. Hopefully, our bowl-less streak will be broken next season. Stay tuned!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The temperatures may be in the 70’s in San Diego but it’s always cooler on the ocean with the ocean breezes. Hawaii is wonderful. It’s warm even when it rains! Have a wonderful cruise. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluecartakesacruise Posted December 23, 2023 #175 Share Posted December 23, 2023 We were on the Koningsdam last week and had a great time. GF stayed on in San Diego for an extra week, because well you know how retired people are. Anyway she just messaged me that she heard you ships horn getting underway. Have a great trip! Since you have plenty of sea days you might want to check out the spa pass. We're big fans. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
