feetfoot

We are also on the Dawn for reps. cruise April 17, 2022, I hope we sail, if not this will be the 4th cruise that has been cancelled on us,  I JUST WANT TO SEE THE BLUE OCEAN AND FEEL THE SALT ON MY FACE AS WE PULL OUT OF PORT

Doing Jade next month, and just noticed that we are in Aruba for about 16 hours. Is this correct? Will the casino be open after 9pm like Bermuda or will it stay closed until after we sail? Seems like a long time to be in port.

OOPS, ment to say Oct. 15-23

October 5-23, 2018 Jade is on an 8day southern cruise which is sponsored by CAS, its a slot tournament invite only cruise. I know because my son and I are on it.

We were the group in 14000 that were suppost to have Vergel. So glad they were able to switch. Josephine is one of the best butlers we have ever had. Have sailed with her MANY times. She never fails to amaze me on how she remembers all of us when we see her and knows just what our needs or wishes are. She is a joy to sail with. We have the Gem GV 14000 booked for 2-25-19, hope we can have her again.

Hi everyone!! We are a group of seven - myself, hubby, daughter, daughter's bf, my sister, niece and my boss. LOL...I know, I know...but we are a very close group :) We have been planning this garden Villa cruise of a lifetime for well over a year, so when the day finally came, we couldn't contain ourselves any longer....

 

We have sailed the Haven out of NY many times so we were familiar with the process...Haven lounge is at the end of the pier...as soon as we completed check in, we were ready to go right on board. Oh!!...so when we entered the Haven lounge we saw our Butler, Vergel from our last cruise on the Breakaway - DOS...We couldn't believe it!!! Were we lucky enough to get him again?..Well, he was assigned to the other Garden Villa - 14000, so we asked if he could possibly switch..he said he would try. So our Butler, Josephine (Loved her!!) took us to see our room, and then to lunch at Cagneys. It is true what everyone says....nothing can prepare you for walking into the Garden Villa for the first time and realizing this is your home for the week!...it was truly overwhelming. It was everything I expected and MORE...The icing on the cake was when Vergel arrived to tell us that Josephine actually had the other people in 14000 before and would be happy to switch!!!...This was going to be a great cruise..

 

more to come.....[/quote We were the group in 14000 that had Vergel first, so glad that both Josephine and he were able to switch. We have had Jo on MANY of our cruises, she is one of the best. I don't know how she does it, but she remembers just how I like my coffee in the morning an what we all want to eat. Is so much fun to be with without being intrusive. Have the same GV booked for Feb. 25th 11 day southern on Gem, hope we get her again.

Just got off the Star 4-22. After TA to Spain, she is heading for Italy for 17 days of drydock.

Are there shuttles that you can take from the Port back to Orlando airport.??
