I will try and post everyday and let you know whats going on
I tried to get on voyageur in Amsterdam but it was full
we had just taking a Viking cruise(fantastic) from Budapest to
Amsterdam and then instead of going home we wanted another cruise but alas no space but that didn't stop us Holland America
was on way to new York so what the hell itched a ride to Halifax
via Norway Iceland Greenland and newfoundland and that trip I could have told all of you some horror stories so we are glad to be back to regent we will board dec 3 in time for my dec 4 birthday updates tyo come for sure

well now down to last 14 days before we leave for Dubai
and then join voyageur on dec 3rd
we almost left this week to join ship in Haifa but emerate airlines
doe not fly there so would have had to buy a brand new ticket
and as already ticketed to Dubai and back from Sydney at a super low business class rate we decided to wait
and now with the weather getting colder in Toronto I am really itchy to get on ship and see a lot of old friends and make new ones
and after the dry dock she should be in great shape
will update on arrival into dubai

good morning from day 2 in mumbai india
internet has been silly slow or non existent here
another great day with a past regent staff member that took us around viewing mumbai it is certainly a different place through the eyes of a local
in a small apartment 1000 sq ft or less 10 persons share the space
and all sleep on mats on the floor
also numerous large rats and we are told WE are not too hygenic!! really !!!
all rent is subsidized so they pay about 120 us a month to live in the area of the port where they work
it sure gives you adifferent perspective of clean north american streets but also there are many very very clean hotels and restaurants
we also went to alocal shopping area where shoes are 50 cents
watches are 30 cents and thousands of people trying to get around
a lot of guests left fot the taj today and will rejoin in 2 days
in cochin india while we at sea tomorrow
weather is great 75-80 all day little humidity
destinations is having issues with some nasty passengers
it a shame that they have to take that kind of abuse
due to passenger stupidy on not reading their tickets for proper times or dates
they sure have their hands full
food is good and service fantastic
will update at sea tomoorow
victor
ps no martinis yesterday

Love your posts Victor. Glad the nasty passenger got the boot, no excuse for that behavior. So interesting spending the day with a local, that's what Tom has done in Mumbai. You can learn so much.
Keep enjoying. Thanks for sharing with us!

Good for the wife. She will probably have a better time without him along.
Hope you continue to have a great time, Victor, but really, a day without martinis?! What is the world coming to?

ok finally on internet
still another 24 hours at sea
yesterday ws the first time when going to compass
rose that they asked if we wanted to share a table and he dining room was empty
they had a large private party in sette marie and had taken a lot of cr staff
we waited and waited for a waiter and head waiter to get us someone !!
never had this happen before
another couple went to prime 7 and were led to a table with others
they did not know they were sharing
i then got the manager after dinner and he apoligised and came to see the guests to personally say sorry
the butler had booked them but did nt tell them they were sharing
the butler came down and apoligised as well
now that is class
it is so so hot today !!!!!!!!!!!!! 34 plus humidity !!
so all in all a good crusie so far and new friends to be had
prime 7 tonight
myanmar at 3 pm tomorrow
will update as internet permits
now for a nice cool drink!!
