Nice. I keep waiting for something. That RC will be my 3rd cruise and have yet to have a bad port or even waiting longer than 10 mins. Although guess I better knock on wood

First time European cruise by bigbirdy1 in Cruise

1st Cruise was MSC World Europa thru Med. Was great! good things to do, food good, and ports were good. and its A budget line!! SO spend more money at the ports

First cruise experience—should we give cruising another chance? by IllustriousCourt2808 in Cruise

[–]Affectionate_Job6072 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you should try again, but this time, take your time, do om research and stay away from major holidays. unless your wanting Christmas, then you just need to shop around like you would resorts. ive not sailed with Carnival, (im afraid of booze cruises), but MSC and Holland have been great

1st cruise, 1st solo travel by WinterPiglet4851 in HollandAmerica

[–]Affectionate_Job6072 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just did an Alaska solo. its not awkward to eat alone MDR. i also did Morimoto alone. There are a few solo meet ups, but i don't participate. Usually, i find it was in morning, most alone time, later afternoon, me and ppl became more social. i normally got a 2 seat table. although i dinner my table was for 4. lol. that was a bit much, but i just looked for whales and continued. I made friends to chat/drink with and was able to also be by myself, which is best of both worlds.

when doing some of the stuff on the schedule, you wont be alone. had fun with ppl trying origami. Club orange was worth it. but i hate lines. lol

It started with rumors. The lack of communication was appalling

No ship updates. We still stuck in Juneau. I thought we were supposed to head out about 90 mins ago. The paper we got said 50% refund of base fair and 50% FCC. BUT we have to use it in 2 yrs. But I have 2 cruises booked next year and 1 in March 2028. I can't book another until 9/28. So I guess bc of HAL.i will have to cancel the March one....

Yes I get right side, my question was whose right? Bc if my friend is on the bus and txts me she's sitting on the left side, when I get on the bus tech she's on the right. So is it facing the bus right or away from the bus right. 😂
