Two weeks to go till we leave for the Splendor holiday cruise. We are taking 3 days to get to Miami( 1 to get off the island- we have a foot of snow here, and no one could get off- no flights or ferries running one day last week-1 to Seattle, and 1 to Miami, then 2 nights there before boarding), and I’m still a little anxious. What on earth am I going to do for those 2 weeks without your lovely blog each day! Maybe you could just keep posting after you get home- love to hear about the gourmet meals you will be having, how about a tour through your house, showing us all the special little areas like you did on Splendor, and don’t forget afternoon tea😄

Techno123, thanks! I did as you suggested, all went smoothly, even the photo acceptance.

GP, going to try and follow your lead re the things we didn’t do first cruise- thanks for the list(except we did do Sette Mari a couple of times, and loved it, as well). You seem to know just what sort of things we would all like to hear about. Wouldn’t you know, I just wanted to do my online check in, and my Mac had an attack. Grrrr! I can do it on the iPad or phone, but I want to print it out, as well as mobile.. oh well, we certainly have time to figure it out. Nice to see Zqueeze jumping back in here. Miss his wonderful posts- wish he would take another cruise!

Thanks, you really are a peach! Love the story about reading the map upside down😄

GeorgiaPeach, thank you so much for sharing your joy with us! If possible, could you let us know what the Sunday brunch hours were, as well, would you mind posting the hours of all the different restaurants(if that info is available). Trying to plan how to experience it all on our upcoming holiday Panama cruise. I guess it would be best if I didn’t experience it all- but would like to give it a go! Debra

Thank you flossie(hope it’s alright to shorten your handle), we should be able to make our selections from that list, with subs in case of supply issues. See you onboard(should be able to recognize you from your profile pic😉 Debra

I know some have posted the list of complimentary liquor, but I cannot seem to find it, even with the search feature. Could anyone kindly provide one, or an idea where I might look?

Thanks for the informative replies! Excitement’s building!

Ok, I may be a little anal with my trip planning, but really what else is there to do when you’re waiting for it to begin! My question is can anyone help me with when the time changes happen during a Panama Canal cruise? Do they happen when at sea or days when you arrive in port? We are on this years holiday cruise sailing Miami to LA, which is great for us as we live on the west coast.

Are you sure that is only 10 feet😄. Beautiful! Looking forward to sailing along with you!

Just got caught up on your report. You have a way of making me smile through your writing. Thanks for sharing! Debra-on Splendor over Christmas and New Years with DH, Chris🥂

Excellent- just the kind of info I was looking for.

Planning to attend as per expert advice from regulars. Wondering just how it works- do you sign up for it, or just show up at 10:00? Also do you need to be there right at 10:00, or is it something more informal, and you go say anytime between 10 and 10:30?

I think the sticky buns would be more my thing. Can you order these through room service?

I am finding your writing style quite amusing. Thank you for leaving the just kidding comment right after the story about the castle tower, otherwise gullible old me would be going around telling all and sundrie about this amazing, and very factual event🙄😊

Just the info I was looking for. Thanks all, Debra

From those with experience, we are on the Panama Canal cruise this Dec 20-Jan 5, and the only thing I have left to arrange is transportation from the ship to LAX (we are in Vancouver so a nice shortish flight home). Can anyone suggest the best way to transport? We are doing our own air, but can we pay for Regent transport? Our flight is around 2pm.

Thank you so much for those gorgeous photos. Such a treat for my Sunday morning reading, and viewing😎❣️

Voyages to explore- kind of a strange question, but can anyone tell me which ship, and where on the ship the couple is standing on page 5?
