As previously mentioned, just remember that if you have to use one of their chairs for anything other than embarkation, debarkation or an on-board emergency, you will be charged rental for the full length of your cruise no matter how brief your useage.

May you never need them!!!

Please add LaCat3 to the March 6, 2019, Koningsdam, 11 Day Southern Caribbean Wayfarer cruise.

THANKS Jaqui!

Thank you all for your responses.

We are scheduled to arrive at Schiphol on Thursday, June 7 at 08:15. I am very curious as to how important is it to book tickets ahead of time for our party of two?

THANK YOU!

No. We used Alla and would give them a 10+.

Thanks. I thought he probably was but it's always worth a post!

Copper10-8,

In June I'll be aboard the Koningsdam for the 1st time. Would you please help me identify who will be the following then?

Captain, CD, HM, BM, EC, SO

Thank you so much for all your effort and help!

We circumnavigated Iceland last summer including the Golden Circle. I was using my rolling walker. I did on occasion do three or four steps but accommodations were an issue only one time. I brought my handing disabled tag and found handicapped parking in at least half of the paved parking lots. I saw EVERYTHING! I may not have gotten the "perfect" view or pic but my boyfriend always did.

A wheelchair or scooter would not be able to go all the places I did. The extent of your disability could make a difference for you. If you have questions I'm at lacat3cruising dot gmail

When I spoke with someone in excursions last week, I was advised that they are working on the "old" pdf version and hope to have it online by the end of January but no firm date has been established.

Thanks, LaCat3

When I was in southern Europe in 2013, I used my scooter at the Vatican and the museum. The far left ticket window at the museum is for those with disabilities. I was led to believe that the ticket would be pro-rated based on percentage level of disability. I'm from the US and have a "disabled" driver's license. I was surprised to be granted free admission and even free use of the audio tour. I was granted the same type of access at other sites in Italy and Greece. It is something to look into.

BTW, I travel alone and had no real problems only the usual inconveniences.

I am considering taking my first river cruise next year in Europe. Although I have often cruised alone, I am curious as to what the average percentage of solo cruisers are on most European river cruises?

I appreciate any feedback/advise you can give me.

THANKS!

Jacqui,

Excited to have booked this cruise for my first trip "Down Under".

Lari,

Thank you, in advance, for all your hard work i researching ports-of-call.

I would like a copy of your information. I am lacat3cruising at gmail

Again, Thank you,

Carolyn

I will be sailing on Seabourn for the first time on February 3rd. If it is not too late, I would love to take advantage of the referral coupon program. Could someone help me with one?

My email is lacat3cruising at gmail.com

Thank you,

Carolyn

Roger, How horrible! Perhaps Oceania will skip the port?

I also vote for the 1st option!!!

THANKS

On the other end of the scale - for Smart Casual nights is only says no "distressed jeans." I don't remember "happy" jeans being acceptable before. Were they, officially?

Even before I began cruising, I began my collection of coffee mugs which now numbers over 200. A friend made and installed mug-sized shelves which go twice around the upper walls of my office. I enjoy remembering the journey associated with each mug!

I organized the M & G for last year's VoV. Our group was just over 100. I did get the list of all the officers from Seattle but rechecked at thte Front Desk once I was on board and was able to make changes to correspond with the last minute staff changes. Not only did every officer I invited come but the Captain/CD/?? arranged for additional staff to attend. The only one missing was the officer on the bridge. Not only did each one address our group but they also stayed and mingled for the remainder of our scheduled time. We were also treated to champagne and all sorts of food.

I did make it clear to my fellow passengers during the planning stages that no private excursion organization was to take place as long as any ship's officers were present.

I wish you as good luck with your M & G this year!

Have received notification that our May 20th cruise from Istanbul aboard the Nautica will now be stopping in Trapani (Sicily) rather than La Goulette as will other Oceania cruises.
