I know you no longer post where you are from but you did at one time .One of my nieces and her children recently returned from that city and had a very nice time. They went on a whim,that is something I used to do when I was a lot younger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing what I want when I want. Woohoo! X3. The end of the muster drill is when I start to relax and feel like I'm on a cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carole2313 Posted October 13, 2019 #81 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Our cruise will start when the taxi comes to take us to the airport for our 16+ hour trip to Auckland, NZ. I’m so excited! We have a SkyCouch so hopefully we will get some sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carole2313 Posted October 13, 2019 #84 Share Posted October 13, 2019 You’re welcome, Clo. A SkyCouch is all 3 seats across in economy. Footrests comeup to form a flat surface and a cushion lays on top. Both can sleep together, or one can sit if they want. Basically you get the middle seat for half price.

I am gradually running out of time for this but I want to go to Australia to watch the Ashes and travel to every game with the barmy army. Running out of time, as its really a younger persons thing I suspect. But what a laugh it would be, getting to see all the matches and see Melbourne, Sydney, Perth, Adelade, and Brisbane.

Krazy Kruizers Posted October 13, 2019 #88 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Our cruise begins when we leave for the airport hotel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizmark'sMom Posted October 13, 2019 #89 Share Posted October 13, 2019 I can relax and get into cruise mode after I have reached the ship. Before that, I'm too focused on flights, taxi to the hotel, and transportation to the ship to really relax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimplyMarvie Posted October 15, 2019 #90 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Our cruise begins when we've successfully survived the flight (and customs and border protection). I can't believe I used to find air travel romantic when I was younger... *sigh* 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sitting in one room then being told to got through to another room and seemingly sitting there forever too. And frequently in this room, the departure lounge, there are not enough seats. Going through customs where it seems everyone is eyed like they are a criminal. Shoes off coats off basically strip searched for that strange piece of metal that has driven the xray machine mental. Only to find its probably a tiny bit of foil that was covering a headache tablet at some point in your recent history. And dont get me started on the hard sell on the plane from the hosts and hostesses. And the food. Argh the food. And then its rinse and repeat in reverse at the other end. But apart from the above I love flying. Edited October 16, 2019 by DarrenM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see a lot of point on dropping a ton of money to fly slightly more comfortably when I could spend that money on traveling more often or doing cooler things when I get where I'm going. I'll fly business class three weeks after never (unless I can convince someone else to pay for it). Besides, the part of flying that I really hate is the security theater and the hurry-up-and-wait of it. And unless I'm flying on a private plane that's still gonna be there.

SRF Posted October 18, 2019 #94 Share Posted October 18, 2019 At least in the US, having Pre-Check reduces the issues with the security checks. And due to my airline status, they pay most or all (depending on the year) of my CLEAR subscription, which makes it even easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RocHed11 Posted October 19, 2019 #97 Share Posted October 19, 2019 To me my cruise begins when I get all my documents in order, log on to Cruise Critic every day and start reading and re reading reviews of my ship, my port, my destination, Roll Call for our cruise. Then I start obsessing about the weather, Checking out the layout of the ship, places I want to hang out-mostly around the perimeter but not always. Finding websites that track the ship we will be on and dreaming of the day we will set foot on board--about a month out. T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
