Thank you for the history lesson. We sailed twice on the royal odyssey in the early 90s.

What a great thread. I've been wondering what happened to the Royal Odyssey. We sailed on it in the early 80s. The first trip was Scandinavia and the second was the Mediterranean.

The ship had mechanical trouble in Leningrad (as I recall) and we had a Soviet submarine park next to us for the duration of our visit. The whole reason we were booked on that cruise was to go to Helsinki. Unfortunately with the delay we were unable to meet up with relatives there.

The Mediterranean trip was such a treat because the waitstaff remembered us from before. Then again we were three preteen/teen girls who ordered hot chocolate with every meal. We might've been easy to remember.

Ahh, back in the days were meeting the captain was an important part of the cruising experience.

I'm not sure if I got it or not.

I tried to pay online again today and the system was glitching, as in I would put in the credit card expiration date and the system would tell me there was no credit card expiration date placed.

I've been called my PVP, since I had to talk to him anyhow, and he went ahead and took my credit card for it and will talk to a manager about giving him access to it since I didn't book it through him.

I'm not sure I completely understand but we'll see if I'm actually booked or not the booking was in my online account it showed up so…

Mom,

I already have to talk to my PVP tomorrow anyhow so it shouldn't be a problem to take care of it at that time. Crossing my fingers. :)

If not, then I still had a really good time booking it.

I got in on one of the really low ones, $16 pp ov 4nights, but it wouldn't take my credit card so I have it on a 24 hour hold. The site was definitely having some issues as I was trying to wrap up my reservation.

Ditto. We like Empress best on the Inspiration or Imagination.

My favorite thing to do in Ensenada is to hang out on the dock. There's a little bit of shopping, a little bit of drinking and there can be some great people watching. I have been into town and I just don't find it worth my time and effort.

I'm glad you got it work. I've had excellent luck calling our PVP. And him taking care of it all for me on the phone. This last one he did have to get supervisors permission to submit it for me. But the other time I think he was able to do it without a problem. Poor guy was really busy there are 20 families in our group and I think we all were going for price drops on the same day.

Thank you for the link. That was really helpful for us. I'm thinking about inviting my mother-in-law for our cruise leaving on in two weeks.
