Goodbye

[Anoynmous Phoenix]

To all those that Pauline and I have cruised with over the years.

Good Morning From Whistler

 

We would like to thank all of you for the wonderful times we have had together over our 500+ days of cruising on NCL ships.

 

The last 4 cruises on the Jewel may well be our last cruises apart from our two “free” Ambassador” cruises we will be doing after our stay in Canada.  Even if they are not, I intend to let others take over from me in arranging Meet & Greets, lunches and dinners on-board and filling the Roll Calls with helpful hints.

 

We are uncertain of our future as I have a knee replacement scheduled and Pauline’s replacement, and her elbow, are causing her a lot of grief.   We are both into our 80s and are feeling our age.

 

I will not “turn-off” cruise critic and so will still receive notifications addressed to me but I will not be following as I have in the past.

 

Thank you again, bon voyage and I hope many more of you continue to become Ambassadors.

Best wishes to you both. We are hoping to be able to cruise as long as you have. Becoming Ambassador seems like a goal I would like to achieve. It is great that you were able to enjoy so many cruises before now. Whenever some one I know seems surprised I am going on another cruise, I tell them that I am enjoying them well I still can. Enjoy all your great memories!!

 

Are you doing a Canada/New England cruise? We just made final payment on one, out of Boston in September.

 That is exciting. We enjoyed an anniversary cruise on Pride of America back in 2011. It was a very enjoyable trip, even though Pride sometimes get bad reviews I would enjoy going on her again. My husband and I are not quite up for the long flight from Massachusetts again. Our first cruise with NCL was also in Hawaii, Wind back in 2006. This trip had me hooked on NCLs Freestyle dining and laid back vibe.

It has been a pleasure meeting you both when cruising, thank you for sharing all your NCL cruising knowledge here on CruiseCritic!

Kaua e whakapori engari ki te pai koe. Kia Ora, Mike and Pauline…
 
For non Kiwis…don’t give up but if you do, good luck. Cheers…

Good luck to both of you with the upcoming surgery.  Enjoy the Aloha spirit in the islands, it should get you into a peaceful mindset.  

So glad to have had the chance to know you and hopefully we will meet again.
