"Live from" ms Volendam to Alaska! My First HAL Experience

[brazilgirl]

Just saying guys, there is a strong glimmer of hope regarding another cruise for me in the near, yet distant future ;) and of course I'll be sharing it with you guys! Look out for a trip report that is somewhere along the lines of "Live from" _____ with lovely_serenity or something ^^. It'll be another "1st _____ Experience as well.

 

Europe? I am rooting for you!

[lovely_serenity]

Look at my new updated signature! :D !!

Formal: (plus the blue one to the right ^)

 

 

You'll need lot of the fancy ones for the QE, Sarah, but I'm sure you will enjoy Cunard!

[lovely_serenity]

I'll be looking for either a "Live" or a report when you get back!!

Yay! ^^~ thank you by the way for talking with me so often on this thread. It makes me happy that my thread is kept alive haha :)

Yes, I am so very fortunate! (: I'm very lucky to get the opportunity to go to so many wonderful vacations, and I have nobody else asides from my parents to thank ^^~

 

I am looking forward to writing my next "live from", probably even more than you are LOL. But very nice to know that others will look forward to it as well. :) I will make sure that I post a new thread in the HAL area telling all of the nice people who read my trip report that I will be doing another one! ^^

 

I aurely will! Thanks! && definitely! Haha :D

[brazilgirl]

Wondeeful... The itinerary looks amazing as does the ship! The Greek Islands are so beautiful. You are going to have the trip to remember.

 

Really happy for you and looking forward to your review.

Ohh have you been there before? If you have, any recommendations regarding visiting spots and such? :) && I certainly hope so (:

 

Thank you! =^^=

Hey, Sarah! Glad to see you are going strong. I saw a post on another thread and almost shouted out. I'm still posting links to your cocktail menu. That is greatly appreciated for a long time.

 

Looking forward to your Europe report, though I'm biased toward France, as a favorite place to visit! I hear Santorino is beautiful, though.

Have you previously travelled to Europe?

Will be watching for your reports.

Hey LVSue! :)

 

Indeed, very excitedly might I add ^^. What post did you see? && you totally should have shouted out haha. That's awesome of you to do! I actually am very happy when I hear that others are posting links to my report. :D

 

I have been to Pris a couple of years ago, but that's pretty much it LOL. My parents went around Europe without us a couple of times. Made me very jealous. -_-

[monina01]

sounds great! I'll be looking forward to your new report as well, even if it is not a HAL report :)

Yeah, totally!

 

I actually have been to Paris for a week when I was like, 13 years old. But that's it ^^". Ever since then, I've been itching to go back to Europe. Finally the time has come (:

 

Good to hear! :) I will post it (a link) here when the time comes!

[lovely_serenity]

Thanks for the support! I'll definitely let you guys know when the time comes! ^^, hopefully, it will fulfill your expectations ;)

Exactly! Similar to that idea, I will indeed be posting it on Cruise Critic Message Boards, just, in the Cunard area. And I'll be sad if my friends over here in the HAL area doesn't see it! :(

Sounds wonderful.

We will be away for a while in November but I'll look for your review when we get home on the Cunard board.

It has been years since we sailed on Cunard.

Oh really? Where are you going? && Definitely! I'll work hard on it! (:

 

When'd you last cruise on Cunard?
