The Happy Wanderer---Swingin' On A Star!

[tomc]

Sounds like my kind of area; cool and mysterious.

[FONT=Comic Sans MS][SIZE=3][COLOR=royalblue]I'm ready to go. Oh, I'm not packed, or dressed for travel, or anything like that, but I'm ready to leave the ship. [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Comic Sans MS][SIZE=3][COLOR=#4169e1]Now, don't misunderstand. I just came from the disembarkation talk/crew farewell/[I]Love In Any Language[/I] presentation and have the warm and fuzzys all over, but I would feel that way anyway. Even though Prinsendam is badly in need of it's upcoming drydock it is still a beautiful ship. The crew and staff are as good as any I have ever sailed with---and better than most. Every single person I have come in contact with has gone "above and beyond" to a superlative level. The food is good (and sometimes great); the activities are fun. The entertainment has, well, entertained me. :D [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Comic Sans MS][SIZE=3][COLOR=#4169e1]But this cruise on this ship was not the best for the solo traveller. So, I have been to some great new places, revisited some old haunts, checked a few things off my lifetime "to do" list, and am ready to look forward to the next adventure. :) [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

Thank you for taking us along with you. You have travelled places we will probably never get to, but now have experienced them through you.

It's been a wonderful journey. Thanks so much for taking us along. It's been a pleasure :).

Once home, I will ask you to elaborate on your solo comment as I am booked on the Prisendam, solo, for 24 days, next year. Thank you.

Wishing you a safe journey home.

Oh My the time has gone by way too quickly Ruth, thanks for bringing us along. Enjoy your last evening aboard the Beautiful MS Maasdam :)

 

Lisa, I thought Ruth was on the Prinsendam?:confused: Or perhaps she got off one ship and onto another?:D

 

No matter where she cruises, and on what ship, the Happy Wanderer always talks a good story:)

Ruth......Continue enjoying.

 

As always, a great thread!!

 

*Ruth would have had to 'jump ships' mid ocean......Maasdam is at sea today. :)

 

[Cruising-along]

Ruth I have been following your posts from the Prinsendam with great interest :) Thank you for taking the time to "take us along with you", it sounds like a cruise I can only hope to take some day. Safe journey home. :)

[LAFFNVEGAS]

OK dummy me:o I guess I had Maasdam on the brain, but then we all know how BLONDE I am;)

I am soooo sorry , YES the Elegant MS Prinsendam:)

[SharonN]

Thank you for allowing us to sail (vicariously) with you!! You know I'm looking forward to your next cruise. ;)

 

Ditto. :D

 

 

Me too!!!:D :D

I'm ready to go. Oh, I'm not packed, or dressed for travel, or anything like that, but I'm ready to leave the ship.

But this cruise on this ship was not the best for the solo traveller. So, I have been to some great new places, revisited some old haunts, checked a few things off my lifetime "to do" list, and am ready to look forward to the next adventure. :)

 

Thanks to all of you for coming along for the ride. I've enjoyed your company very much. :)

 

Can't believe your trip is just about over already. It's been fun reading your posts from on board. When you have time I hope you share some of the details on why this wasn't a great ship/cruise for soloing. This Itinerary or something close to it is definitely on my "to go" list (maybe in 2009) and I know I'll have to go solo so would like to know what could impact that (other than the AYW issue!)

[localady]

Safe travels home Ruth!!

Thanks for taking us all along for the ride!!:D

[Copper10-8]

Have a safe trip home, Ruth! And thanks for taking us along to the top of the world!

[Love Cruises]

Ruth ... thank you so much for sharing your trip with us. You always have a great way of summarizing everything.

 

Have a safe trip home! Hopefully, it won't be too long before the Happy Wanderer is on her way again!

[bobpatj]

Ruth.

 

I enjoyed reading your posts and "sailing along" with you. Travel safely home. :)

[ekerr19]

Travel safely home and let us know when you're back...

[mamaofami]

Ruth, have a safe journey home. Grab a few chocolates for your pillow at home.:)

[innlady1]

Thanks, RuthC, for taking us along with your journey. And as Carol said, grab a few chocolates for the trip back to RI! :D :D :)
