Good Morning To all our Aussie and Kiwi Fellow Cruise Critic Members.

Yes this is Lone Star and from what I am seeing posted on Scenic s Website looks to be that our cruise for The Jewels of Europe September 2,2015 on The Brand new Scenic Opal is Sold Out.

That's Great news as it should be a Great and Wonderful time to be had by all.

Hoping that some of you out there that are booked will stop in and say hi as it is a great way as to make introductions prior to the cruise and maybe while cruising as to share in a couple of glasses of wine or two.

We are Lisa and Gary LoneStarCruisinCouple and we live in Sugar Land, Texas just outside of Houston this is our first ever River Cruise and yes to say that we are excited I think would certainly be an understatement.



Only

401

More Days

To Go

 

But who's counting?? Certainly not me..


Yes can't wait as to have the pleasure of cruising with all of our fellow passengers and sharing in all The Wonderful times that lie ahead for all of us to share in.

Love th econstruction photos , and glad your cruise is sold out. I am sure that there will be plenty of Aussies onboard and probably some Kiwis as well.

CC reprents such a small proportion of cruisers so don't be too disappointed that they are not here on this forum.

Have fun.:D

Howdy there One and All and yes Mic like you said I understand that Cruise Critic is just a small amount of the folks that cruise but sure am hoping that we have a boat load of Aussie's and Kiwi's as you folks just really know something that we don't and that's how to really enjoy Life to the Fullest and not get tied up in the every day Rat Race.

Yes this is LoneStarCruisinCouple and just hoping that some of you out there that may be booked shall come and join and let's get The Party Started. Lots of planning to do and maybe even make a group booking at a Hotel coming and going as to possibly get some better pricing..



All For Fun

and

Fun For All

Good Morning to our fellow Aussie and Kiwi passengers that may be joining us on The Opal Jewels of Europe setting sail on September 2,2015.

Just wanted to say that we have booked into The Toren Hotel in Amsterdam and also booked into the Four Season Gresham Palace in Budapest.

Was wanting to possibly find out if any of you would be maybe interested in maybe getting together in either and or both cities and putting some sort of a Tour of these FANTASTIC cities together.

Just figure that it may be a way of possibly getting a better deal, but again it is open.

The picture is that of our ship still currently under construction.

And a Pleasant Good Morning To all my fellow Aussie and Kiwi Shipmates that shall be cruising with us on The Scenic Opal Jewels of Europe September 2,2015. Won't be long now and we all shall be Loungin" Laughin" and enjoying those Tasty Libations.

Yes our ship seems to be coming along very nicely and have posted a photo. Just so remarkable as to how they take all of those pieces and put together and make these incredible ships,but somehow they do and good thing for all of us.

Hoping that some of you that have been out there and Lurking may finally come and join in and say Good Day Mate and join in on the Fun of Conversing before our cruise and possibly come up with some ideas as that we all may share in.

We are Lisa and Gary from Sugar Land,Texas and this shall be our first River Cruise. So if there are any Ole Salts of The Sea out there and you shall be joining us on this cruise would certainly appreciate any and all help.

Only 354

We shall be arriving in Amsterdam on the 31 and having a couple of days as to spend looking around. Staying at a Hotel called The Toren located an the Prestigous Keizersgracht,the most expensive and sought after parts of Amsterdam. Set along one of the most beautiful canals,which for obvious reasons is placed on the World Heritage list of UNESCO. Views of both the Canals and that of The Canal Houses just extraordinary.


In Budapest we are staying at The Four Seasons Gresham Palace overlooking The Chain Bridge and have already arranged for a Walking Guided Tour as well as a Day Touring The Wineries. Yes we do love Hungarian Wines.

Looking forward to having the opportunity to share in this Funtastic Cruising Adventure with a lot of you that are out there and still LURKING.

Have a Great and Wonderful Weekend

And a Good Day To All,

This is Lone Star and just wanted to say Howdy to all of you folks that may be booked along with Lisa and I on The Brand New Scenic Opal for The Jewels Of Europe sailing September 2,2015.

Yes I have been checking on the progress of our ship and this was the latest that I could find.

She looks so very Elegant resting there with her first ever Floating on The water and yes can even see our cabin. First in the picture and back of the ship. Just can't wait as I'm thinking that we are going to have such a Dramatic view with having that Panoramic Royal Suite.


Anyways just wanted to say that We both are looking forward to having a chance as to say howdy and enjoy this FUNTASTIC cruise and discover the Wonder and The Beauty that Lies before all of us.

Booked our flight today so that is taken care of and also informed our Hotel in Amsterdam that we would be flying in on the 30thof August so that will give us Three days Prior and Three Days After to enjoy both Amsterdam as well as Budapest. Just can't wait.


Looking forward with Great anticipation as to Possibly talk to some of you before we set forth on our cruise.

I suppose she will have her maiden voyage soon, at least she will be well and truly tested by the time you get on her.:D

Good Day There Mic,

Hoping that all is well on your end as we are a Okay here.

Yes I am just so excited and just can not wait as to get on that plane and be on our way towards our cruise over in Europe. Not really all that bad of a trip in flying as only 9 hours from Houston over to London and then only an Hour and Ten minutes into Amsterdam.

Just wish that some of your fellow Aussie's that are booked with us would come onto the board and say howdy. Oh well guess that there shall be plenty time on the cruise as to meet our fellow shipmates and say at least hello and maybe share in a glass or two of wine.

Anyways wishing you well and smooth Sailings and a Bon Voyage.
