We are doing the Navigator- Christmas Cruise-

The lovely Miss Lynn and I will be on the 28 Dec Navigator cruise from San Juan-FLL with our old friends Robert Morris and Donna McInnis. Lynn and I will be in 629. First time on Navigator and we're looking forward to it.

I'm doing my forth cruise this year and it should be the best yet. It's the 8 day western cruise out of Ft. Lauderdale. The ship is called Carnival Legend and I'll be leaving December 13th. Love to meet some single women going on this cruise.

The Voyager December 19-January 4th throu Panama Canal.

Sotherncruiser and srb162, welcome to the board!

srb, the Panama Canal is on my to do list!

Really looking forward to the little cruise on Dec. 17, out of Ft. Lauderdale on the Mariner. I think this will be a great get-a-way before the holidays.

Betty

Aloha, I know this is not a RSSC Cruise but Christina and I will be on a Christmas cruise round trip Sydney. It is through P&O but on a Princess ship (Pacific Princess). We did look at RSSC for this time of year but the itineraries did not look too inviting!Looking forward to the Great Barrier Reef.Through our local yacht club we were able to gain access to the American Club in Sydney. They are set to have a "News Years Party" <img border="0" alt="[Drinking]" title="" src="graemlins/062802drink_prv.gif" /> really sounds like great fun !!
Do any of you have any experience on this cruise?
We are flying blind on this one since Cruise Critics board does not have much info. Don't know where to go for more info before our trip, so we are open for any suggestions!Mahalo JD <img border="0" alt="[hula]" title="" src="graemlins/hula.gif" />

Betty - I will be on the 12/17 Mariner with my Mom. Hope to get to meet you two onboard!

Claudia

Hi, Claudia and Betty- Mark and I look forward to meeting you on this pre-Christmas cruise!!!

Silversea on Silver Shadow-December 14 to Mexico.

Gary

Looks like Keith and I will be getting aboard the Mariner when several of us are getting off! :mecry: We will be enjoying our 1st wedding anniversary on the Christmas cruise (and avoiding the Delaware winter for a short time while scuba diving and relaxing!!!)

Cheers! <img border="0" alt="[vhappy]" title="" src="graemlins/icon_vhappy.gif" />

Claudia

Claudia,

Quite a change from the original four day
cruise in December..tho, sounds spectacular--have a blast..r/wes

Claudia,

Sorry to hear that you have bailed on our Mariner cruise, but I can't say that I blame you. Perhaps we will meet on another cruise someday. Have a wonderful cruise. It sounds great.

Betty

Betty K - The Seabourn "opportunity" came up quite unexpectedly and I couldn't pass it up....However, My Mom will still be onboard Mariner for the 3 nighter and I'm hoping her best friend will go in my place. If its ok with you, I will post my Mom's name closer to sailing and hopefully the 2 of you can meet while onboard. It will be her first time on Radisson....

Claudia

Claudia

Claudia,

By all means! I would love to meet your Mom. Please tell her that Betty & Larry will be in cabin #758.

Betty

Betty, I'll let you know later today, but I'm planning on the Mariner on 12/17 too. Seems like it will be a nice little getaway. It will actually be my first Radisson cruise. I'm probably going solo, since I don't think my husband has any more vacation days. Claudia, I'd love to meet your mom too!

Andrea

Betty K and Andrea - Thanks so much! I will post Mother's cabin number as soon as I dig out the paperwork. She is really excited about trying Radisson!

Claudia

Andrea,

Great! We will look forward to meeting you. I guess that Mia & Mark are still with us, also Claudia's mom. Should be fun!

Betty

Darn...the sailing is waitlist only at this point. Julie put me on the list, but I'm sure it doesn't look good. :(

Andrea, don't get discouraged yet. Lots of time and there are always unexpected things that cause some to cancel even at the last moment. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

BTW, those "red sox" you've been wearing must be working!

Thanks Marcie! The price of the flight is so good right now though. Jerel would have been able to go too - he has 2 more vacation days left. However, I'm going to try & see if he can borrow a couple of days from next year, and maybe we'll do the Mariner Christmas cruise. That looks like a lot of fun!

I'm not saying anything about those "sox" yet...wouldn't want to be a jinx.

Betty & Claudia, I'm all set! I was able to get a cabin, and it's just me. I'll be in 812.

That's great, Andrea! I know you will enjoy it!

Claudia

Andrea, Great!

Betty

We will be aboard the Voyager Dec. 6. This is a continuation of our VOYTAN from Barcelona. Would enjoy meeting Cruisechick and anyone else from this board. Babs & Jim

My wife and I are on the Paul Gauguin 12/4. First time in FP, 2nd RSSC cruise (Navigator in Alaska the first year they were there) and 3rd cruise all time (1st one was on the Big Red Boat from Ft. Lauderdale to Bahamas for 4 days; ok, but almost decided to not go on cruises after that).

Had hoped we could do this and now I'm certain we are...........SAILING ON THE NAVIGATOR OVER CHRISTMAS!!! Forget cooking a Thanksgiving dinner....I'M PACKING!! :hyper: :hyper: :hyper:

Docs are in for the Navigator 28 Dec cruise. Lynn and I will be in stateroom 629. Anyone else going?

Docs arrived today for the New Years Navigator cruise. I was surprised that there's only 1 formal night.

One formal night for how many nights cruising? PARTY on this almost same itinerary is next year, and we are alll wondering? Our cruise is for 14 nights.

The cruise is 11 days; that's why I was surprised at only 1 formal night with New Years in there.
