  1. They are a great bunch of guys..and a few "gals" as well. Kenneth was in the US Navy for 5 years and served part of that time on the FDR carrier. His rank was "Quarter Master 2" and he was at the helm..sailed her under the Golden Gate Bridge once..a real thrill for him!!
  2. Did you book this in advance?..or just try and find someone on the day of travel? Thanks?
  3. I think Petco Park was recently voted one of ..if not the top baseball park in the US. And yes...not that far away from the Midway. And thank you for your comment about Kenneth.
  4. Thanks for that info..may try that in October if the train is still not running!!!
  5. It is an incredibly beautiful place..and the views to the east towards the city and mountains are fabulous on a clear day. My DH Kenneth, who passed away last year, was a Docent on the USS Midway. It's considered the #1 tourist destination in SD by Trip Advisor and you can really spend the entire day there...if you want. I hope you enjoy your stay in SD...and you're so right..there is a lot to see and do!!
  6. It's not really very far from the port to Ft Rosecrans. Maybe you could have someone drop you off and then request a ride back on a taxi app or call them ? Most of the older memorials are all in one place..on the oldest side of the cemetery facing SD Bay and if you want to visit a specific grave site there is a map in the visitor's center. I'm not sure but they might have a golf cart or something like that to get you to the spot. I think you can contact them directly if questions.
  7. What a special memory and treasure!!
  8. I'm in a similar position. My sailing is the middle of May, I have a solo booking. The only categories sold out are the top suites. It's part of the current sale but my TA has called 2X and O has said no to reducing the rate, giving me OBC and/or giving me a higher category.
  9. It sounded this AM on the local news like it's going to be a long closure!! There are no plans to even meet to decide what to do for 3 weeks. I was thinking about taking the train up for a 5/20 sailing but I'm going to look for another way to get there.
  10. Thanks...I've been to the needle point classes and didn't realize that was the title of the staff member.
  11. oceanpark..Those are the 2 items I enjoy as well!!! Twins?? 🙂 "Tazo" makes a Chai Tea Latte Black Tea Concentrate that comes in a box. I find it in the tea aisle at my local grocery store. I'm planning on bringing a box with me just in case. I've been told that this is what is used at Starbucks and it tastes pretty similar to me. My TA confirmed that there usually is Clamato on board.
  12. Is the Social Hostess a new position? I don't remember from past cruises but haven't been on O since fall '18. Thanks
  13. I actually need to get home from there. My DH died last year and I really don't want to make that drive alone.
  14. Thanks everyone...that's what I thought but ..now to Plan B !!! 🙂
  15. If I did NOT do the "do it yourself" disembarkation but got off in the "regular" first wave and took an O transfer do you think I could make a 10:45 am flight? Or is that just too early? Thanks!
  16. My 4th is my BD!! Have a great time and please tell us all about the yummies!! 🙂
  17. I spent yesterday afternoon reading about all the restaurants on Vista. Will be on board in October. If i do nothing else but eat the entire cruise it will be fabulous!! 🙂 So many yummy items!!
  18. Thanks for this info!! One of my cruises this May is listed and just reached out to my TA.
  19. My TA checked today and the single supplement cabins are already sold out..not surprised but disappointed!!! 🙂
  20. Thank you!! I'm thinking of the 11/3/24 T/A!! I've always wanted to try Regent and this is a great price!!
  21. How far in advance are the SS rates available? Thanks!
  22. We were in Malaga right before Easter a number of years ago and just stumbled upon the warehouse where they were storing all the floats for the parade. They let us in to look at them..so special!!!
