  1. I'm not seeing anything on Google, but you can post them on Issuu. Have a fantastic cruise! I'm considering booking a Japan cruise in May 2027, so I would be very interested in seeing the Patters, too.
  2. Wow! Those links are fantastic. Thanks for sharing!
  3. Wow! That was great. Wish I had noticed all of that art ;o) The scavenger hunt idea is genius for your boys.
  4. Hi Bill, I'm assuming you meant my videos ;o) The link you had was for someone else. I'm glad you found them helpful. That's my entire purpose for my channel is to help people research on locations and to see what there is to see in case they are considering these types of vacations. I had thought about doing a video on the onboard art, but wimped out ;o). Is that something y'all are interested in seeing? I'm getting ready to board Radiance in 2 weeks after her drydock for the Panama Canal full transit and I can shoot some video there as a demo. Would love to get some ideas if folks are interested in that type of stuff. We'll also be on the Allure WB TA in October 2025. Definitely going to do a lot more videos of her after her refurbishment. In the meantime, have a fantastic cruise! Wonder was a delightful ship to be on. So much to see and enjoy.
  5. We just about froze on our May 4, 2008 cruise. There was snow on the ground and it was cold. We did a road trip through Alaska in August 2021 and it was still cool, but it the 60s in Alaska proper (Anchorage to Talkeetna to Denali to Fairbanks). By the time we got to Fairbanks it was 80 degrees whereas Anchorage was in the 60s. Weird. If I had to choose, I would rather go in September than May. Good luck in your research! Alaska was fantastic and I can't wait to do another cruise and road trip to Alaska.
  6. Oh no! That sucks. I hope you got well quickly in spite of everything. Being sick at sea is no fun. Question: How many time zones did you have to go through for this cruise?
  7. Did you depart from LA or Vancouver or Australia and on which ship? I've already done SF to HI, but wouldn't mind doing Vancouver to Australia or HI to Australia.. Sorry to hear you were sick!
  8. 1. Yes, they have the Anchor's Aweigh Parade. Not sure on the day since we saw it during the WB TA in 2022. My recommendation is somewhere in front of Sorrento's or the pub where you can sit. Just make sure you're there an hour or two before the parade starts. We stumbled upon the parade about 30 minutes before it was to start and all we could get was behind Starbucks. Here's my video of it from there: Anchor's Aweigh Parade 2. If I remember correctly, yes. Not sure what kind of cabin you have, so here's a link to our cabin crawl. Hopefully you can tell if there are plugs by the bed: Cabin Crawl 4. You can get specialty coffee at Cafe Promenade. 8. I think what you saw was the set up for laser tag. It is not a play area for kids. It wasn't offered all the time, only at select times I think. I hope that helps!
  9. I'm linking the Cruise Compasses for the Wonder WB TA in 2022 to give you an idea as to what to expect. We had 8 sea days and it was a great cruise. Very relaxing and you could do as much or as little as you wanted. We were never bored. Wonder of the Seas 2022 WB TA cruise compasses
  10. You're going to love a WB Fall TA and Explorer is a great ship to be on. We did the Wonder of the Seas TA in 2022 out of Barcelona to Port Canaveral doing the Atlantic route and it was fine in November for us. Barcelona, Malaga and Valencia were fantastic and there is plenty to do (or not do!) onboard the ship during the sea days. We stayed in Hotel Jazz pre-cruise for 3 days and found the location to be very nice and close to everything. If you're interested, I have a playlist with my videos from the Wonder TA showing some excursions we did (everything we did was on our own). If you can possibly fly into Barcelona several days early I highly recommend it. Don't miss La Sagrada Familia!!! I also included a video on the ocean conditions during the cruise to give you an idea as to what to expect. Here's the link to my playlist: Wonder of the Seas WB TA 2022 I didn't see any Explorer WB TA cruise compasses on Issuu, but I do have ours from the Wonder TA that should give you a pretty good idea as to what to expect during the sea days: Wonder of the Seas WB TA cruise compasses I hope this helps! Have a wonderful cruise!
  11. I should be getting my first crystal block on our Radiance PC cruise in April.
  12. I think that's when I would go. Weather is great in June and July. Here's a thought. 2026 is our 250th anniversary here in the US. I'm sure there will be tons of things going on here in Boston during July 2026. Maybe tack on your NE/Canada cruise to sometime around the 4th and you can do 2 sets of fun things!
  13. You do, but $3,500 for a balcony seems an awful lot. How long is the cruise and when is it sailing? You’ll also pay more for a longer cruise during peak fall foliage. And even then there is no guarantee you’ll be there for peak.
