Rare kazu Posted March 18, 2017 #1 Share Posted March 18, 2017 It's my last week for doing Bon Voyages and the Future Cruise Listings for a while while we are off cruising. My usual back up (rafinmd) is away cruising on his own great adventure so I reached out for help. We have two fabulous CC members who have stepped up to the plate and will be carrying the ball so the Bon Voyage threads and Future Cruise Listing will continue. Krazy Kruizers has kindly offered and will be doing the Bon Voyage threads. RuthC has kindly agreed to take on the Future Cruise Listing in my absence. I owe both of these lovely ladies a huge debt of gratitude and wanted to thank them both publicly for keeping our great HAL tradition going :) Many thanks KK & RuthC. It is SO appreciated:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msmayor Posted March 18, 2017 #2 Share Posted March 18, 2017 I'll add my own thanks...for that and so much more. Its been so wonderful seeing my name on the Future Cruise Listing and even more exciting once I got 'my' bon voyage. I'm sitting here at my kitchen table sipping coffee before heading to the airport...we leave 34 degrees and snow for the warmer clime of Ft. Lauderdale and tomorrow...board the Zuiderdam! I also want to add a thanks to Jacqui and all the other veterans of this board who have been so helpful to me in preparing for this trip. We started out this booking in a signature suite (first time ever!!) and now are in a Neptune. You all have given me so many tips and hints on how to maximize our enjoyment, I just know its going to be a wonderful trip. So bon voyage to YOU Jacqui. Hope you have a wonderful trip!

ger_77 Posted March 18, 2017 #7 Share Posted March 18, 2017 They're both long time cruisers with a wealth of information between them; I can't think of many others who could fill your positions with such skill. Bon Voyage Jacqui!!! Smooth Sailing ! :) :) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luvtwotrvl Posted March 18, 2017 #9 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Thank you very much KK and RuthC for volunteering for your service to keep the posts alive! I truly enjoy reading the Bon Voyage and the list of cruisers for the upcoming cruises. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kakalina Posted March 18, 2017 #10 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Bon Voyage Jacqui. Fair winds and following seas be with you on your journey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare POA1 Posted March 18, 2017 #11 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Thank you Ruth and KK for doing this while Kazu is on her cruise. And, of course thank you to Kazu for doing it all the other times! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Vict0riann Posted March 18, 2017 #12 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Thanks to you all, too, from me. We are leaving bright and early tomorrow to meet up with rafinmd on the Zaandam. Most of our large roll call is already in BA, and say the weather is delightful! It will be quite a change from the rain and cold we have been having here. Jacqui, hope you have a wonderful cruise. Bon voyage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuthC Posted March 18, 2017 #14 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Jacqui, it is my pleasure to "step up to the plate" (as you put it) to help ensure you have a worry-free time. Let's just all hope that I don't step on the plate and shatter it beyond all recognition! ;p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krazy Kruizers Posted March 18, 2017 #16 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Thank you :) I have no worries about you two "keeping things in order". In fact, I suspect you will do a better job than I. :D I don't think anyone could ever do the Bon Voyages better than you do kazu. You have brought them a very high level from we did them years ago. They were just simple Bon Voyages with the ship's name, date and names of the cruisers and sometimes where they were cruising. You have started wonderful sayings and added the itineraries.

You are very kind KK, but I can't take credit. Grandmapjama (sorry if I misspelled Donna's CC name) was doing cute poems when she did them years ago and Roy (rafinmd) started the itineraries and explained how to do it for me. Thank you though. I am glad you like the lay out :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sapper1 Posted March 18, 2017 #18 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Thanks to Ruth and KK for keeping things going while Jacqui is away. I'm looking forward to my own Bon Voyage coming up in a week or so. Getting excited now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the2ofus Posted March 19, 2017 #24 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Bon voyage to Kazu. Thanks to RuthC and KK for taking this on. I've been fortunate to sail with RuthC a couple of times and I can assure you we are all in very kind, capable hands with a dash of humor included. As for KK, once, long ago I actually chatted with her briefly but didn't know until much later that our paths had crossed on that cruise. Maybe next time...

RetiredMustang Posted March 20, 2017 #25 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Jacqui, I hope you have a wonderful cruise! I have been lucky enough to have met both of your stand-ins on HAL cruises before, and believe they will do wonderfully, and look forward to reading their posts (hi Ruth and KK!). I hope one day to meet you as well on some Dam cruise. Thanks for all you do, not only on this board, but also for the site-that-cannot-be-named. :D Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
