We ***** and moan when the temperatures drop below 50.  I know... I know ... we are wimps.

As is the case here in Central Florida right now....high today was maybe 60...ok, that's enough winter!

Thank you so much for all the great photos and daily updates! I had a great time on your trip and am looking forward to your next one!

   When it is cold or windy I walk up and down hallways,   Starting on deck 12 and work my way down.    

 

my husband and I did a lot of inside deck walking on our Constellation TA but only about 4 miles

So nice to see one of our favorite ports again! Thanks for the photos!

Ok, I'm hooked!

I'm really having a great time on my virtual vacation with you! Great photos!

We've only done one TA so far but look forward to doing more once I retire next summer.

I’d look for another job 🤣.

The beauty of my current situation is I retire in 8 months so going to hang in there and enjoy the light at the end of the tunnel...yes, some days I'm pretty sure that light is the train headed straight for me 🤨

Many thanks for all the market photos! Nice squid and octopus!

"That is nothing but a simple sticker..." No it requires a new room card.

 

Once I finally got on board I went to a bar and my room card was set for a basic package instead of the premium I paid for. I had to go to guest relations and wait in line to get it corrected.  A little later I tried to sign on to the  internet with the package I paid for and it wasn't shown. Back down to guest relations,  wait in line, get it corrected.  Even though I showed the confirmation email I had to pay again and they said they would issue me a credit. Things can only improve at this point. Believe it or not, I'm not normally a complainer. Hopefully I'm done complaining now.

Sorry, but this still sounds better than the day I had at work today....hope your vacation improves

Note to self....DO NOT check in on this blog before heading out to work.....now I'd much rather go to Greece than Sanford...😉

Your photos are fabulous and I'm really enjoying your "eye"!

I looked forward to catching up with your trip while I was stuck in traffic today.

Thanks for the great photos!

Yay! I've been itching for a good virtual vacation!

In 2001 my sister and I took our dad to Italy to see the town his dad left in 1902. We spent our last couple of nights in Amalfi with the intention of leaving there early on the day of our flight departure from Rome. It became apparent that early mornings there can be foggy so we ended up having to book a couple of rooms at the airport Hilton for our last night to avoid a white knuckle drive in the fog. Great hotel...was a little embarrassed when dad set off the metal detector at the airport with the bottle opener he'd lifted from the room. LOL 

We also love the westbound transatlantic...so relaxing getting those hours back!

Great video! Thanks for posting it!

Can't wait for our cruise on the Solstice next August!

Oh goodness....I'm so sad that you're back on land but I had such a great time on your trip! Thanks for taking us along!

Wishing you many more years of fabulous adventures together...I agree with micheleg that you should do a transatlantic and panama canal.....the best! It'll be hard to go back to a 7 day cruise after that....LOL

Enjoy the rest of your time in Seattle.

So enjoyed reading your trip report!  We will be sailing next August at exactly this same week!  Sounds like we have a lot to look forward to!  Thank you so much or taking the time to post this, and your pictures are fabulous!

 

Congratulations on your honeymoon!  We will celebrate our 40th Anniversary on the Solstice next August!

Congratulations on your upcoming 40th. We'll also be on the Solstice next August but not until the 28th.  This has been such a great read that I"m more than ready to go now!

Another happy Floridian here!

Here's another vote for sightseeing in Boston pre cruise. Boston's a great town for walking so would be nice to have the cruise to relax on.

Just checking in to say I'm having a wonderful time on your trip! 

Thanks for all the details!

"We" haven't even left port left and I'm already having a great time!

Perfect embarkation outfit by the way!

Enjoy!

Thank you! Congrats on your upcoming retirement!  Jeremy and I dream of the (sadly still far away) day when we retire and can spend our winters just hopping from cruise to cruise.  I’ll be sure to report in detail on how our excursions go. 

Thank you! I still have to hold out until June 2020 but the light is finally at the end of the tunnel.....and many days I'm convinced its coming from the train heading straight for me. LOL

Our plan is to do a lot of last minute deal travel and also road trips in the US. (and maybe a part time job here and there to help pay for some of the travel 🤣)

Your retirement day will come.....just be sure to always use your vacation time in the mean time! I feel bad reading those stories about people that don't/can't use it.

Hope you have a fabulous honeymoon!

I'm looking forward to your posts. My family went on the Solstice 10 years ago to celebrate my daughters college graduation and we're (finally!) going on the Solstice again next August to celebrate my retirement. 

We haven't decided on excursions yet so looking forward to your experience. Have a great trip!

Thanks for taking us with you! We have to wait until next summer for our Solstice cruise so I'm enjoying your trip for now.

It was an amazing cruise! 

Glad to hear that! We still have 399 days to wait for ours. LOL

.but I’m determined to change that now that DS is headed off to Uni. 

Yes, it's weird when they leave home and you find yourself with lots of open time. Enjoy!
