Barwick Cruiser

It’s def not on Silhouette. Only Equinox, Eclipse and Solstice.

David, I hope you’re planning to take us all along? Please?? 🤞🛳️😊

Wow, looks like a lot of great sailing in your near future! I’m hoping there’ll be live reviews for each of them? You do an amazing job bringing us all along with you, so very enjoyable, thank you! Oh, and good luck with all the renos…will be so worth all the disruption once it’s completed. Cathy

That actually appears to be the Solstice.

What a beautiful sunrise in Hobart! Hope you enjoy a wonderful tour there. We had a great time with a private company prob saw many of the sights you’re going to today. Def would love to return there for another visit someday. Enjoy!!

So those preserves you bought in PEI are imported from Britain? Or am I reading the label wrong? 🤔

It’s def not worth $55…however we very much enjoy it so we watch for discounts precruise and book then or check for discounts once onboard. You may be able to book it for the first night discount if it’s not already sold out on your sailing. Check your cruise planner. I like Tuscan on the S class ships, eating at the window watching sail away 😋 😊 Cathy

We just did the checkin for our May Silhouette cruise embarking in Amsterdam…which is 6 hours ahead of us. Checkin begins on the 9th at 12:01am Amsterdam time so 6:01pm today for us. I went into the app and was able to get my preferred checkin time of 11:30 (earliest available) without adding any other documents such as passport etc. Was able to do this for all passengers in my booking so basically DH and myself. @catspaw1 you shouldn’t have any trouble getting an early boarding time without entering passport or photo if you’re online when checkin opens. Good luck!

Great view…what cabin number is this? Did you have any of the creaking banging noises that are common on Beyond?

Sorry for the disappointing stop in Martinique…400 euros for a ferry to the beach?? Agree that’s craziness…I wouldn’t have paid either…our Cdn$ is similar to yours so whether something is priced in US$ or euro we take a big hit. Have you checked out the hot glass show? Have you done it before? I tried it out on Solstice on our Alaska cruise and enjoyed the whole experience very much…my sea turtle is a great memento of that trip. Keep up the great work on this report, loving it very much as we anticipate our Baltics cruise in May. Cathy

Wonder who pays for the pilots flight back home? 🤔 Thanks @81Zoomie for a wonderful review…your pics are lovely and I’m enjoying all the onboard info! Hope your weather improves soon 🤞 Cathy

What a difference a day makes! Glad to see the blue skies and sunshine for your day! Looks like you made the most of it. Hope the nice weather continues for your remaining pre cruise days 🤞 🌞 Cathy

Safe travels and I hope you’re both able to get some sleep on the flight! Looking forward to your adventures on the cruise! Cathy

I hope the wifi works well for you as I’d love to follow along! What are your ports? Any plans for excursions on them? Cathy

Haha, that’s pretty much how I feel about most electronics 🤦🏼‍♀️ Cathy

I’m so glad that you had such fantastic weather for the fjords! And amazing photos to remember it by! Sometimes you just get very lucky! We had Will Martin on our Solstice cruise precovid in NZ…whether he performed in the theatre or the Atrium the venue was packed..amazing voice and a great sense of humour.

Great info, thank you. Sorry for the confusion, we depart Amsterdam May 24 but don’t get to Copenhagen until Jun 3/4. I’m assuming the taxi option to Nyhavn would be faster than bus/metro combo but more expensive? Especially for four adults? Do your taxis charge by the trip or per person?

We’ll be on Silhouette end of May for an overnight in Copenhagen. How difficult will it be for four able bodied adults to reach Nyhavn? We arrive at 11am and are interested in doing the canal tour…is this like a HOHO boat? Are we ok with public transit or should we taxi/uber? TIA Cathy

That sounds like a wonderful itinerary…and long! How many days is it?

I’m so glad that the weather for the fjords is cooperating for you! Milford is amazing, the waterfalls should be flowing well! We did the fjords a few years ago on Solstice and we also did the slow shedding of outer layers as the day went on. By the time we reached Milford we were on our balcony in tshirts! Thanks for taking us along, loving the pics and details! 🥂 Cathy

Looking forward to following along as well! I’m very much enjoying the current live reviews while anticipating our Baltics cruise in May. Hope you enjoy fair skies and calm seas thru the Pacific and thank you for including all of us on your journey!

Thank you for this review, I’ve enjoyed following along and glad you and your Mom had a good time. Celebrity works for us but I can see that it doesn’t for everyone which is fine…lots of choices for everyone! I appreciate the pics from Cartagena…last time there we did the Dora tour and afterwards headed straight back to the ship. I am determined to check out the Aviary next time I’m there, def would love that, thank you! Hope your Mom feels better soon!

Love the sunset video, you captured it very well! Thanks for the great review!

Just catching up…so glad your snorkeling in Aruba went well. We did the same excursion a few years ago but it was quite windy and the choppy wave action made it uncomfortable for me and the water clarity was poor. We were very surprised they still ran the tour but 🤷‍♀️. Love your postings and so glad you and Mr are having a wonderful holiday!

Sounds like you’re both having a wonderful holiday! I’m contemplating doing an E class sailing but want to avoid Beyond due to the noise issues…have you heard anything on Apex? We can’t do retreat but need an actual balcony so looking for a SV. The entertainment on the E class ships seems to be much better than on the M and S class..🤔 Anyway, enjoy the remaining days and thanks so much for taking time from your vacation to entertain the rest of us! 🥂
