skings8 Posted January 17, 2023 Report Share Posted January 17, 2023 Just booked this cruise because the price was fantastic considering the itinerary. Last trip to the ABC's was over 50 years ago.

skings8 Posted January 17, 2023 Report Share Posted January 17, 2023 Hi Sweety and Last2know, my bucket list cruise is a transatlantic. Had one in mind and ready to book when saw the price on this and said go for it. I will be 80 so hopefully transatlantic next cruise.

Last2Know Posted January 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 We're also doing the ABC's again in Sept on the Serenade. It's a 12 night repositioning from Tampa to Boston. Just in case I miss anything in May... WAAAYTOOO, Sweety and WriterJess 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skings8 Posted January 26, 2023 Report Share Posted January 26, 2023 Okay I am jealous of your trip to Boston my hometown. Its funny I now live 100 miles south of Tampa . But all is good will be able to have fried clams and chowda because my flight home from Baltimore on Jet Blue has a 4 hour layover in Beantown and Legal Seafood is in every terminal.

Jack805 Posted March 28, 2023 Report Share Posted March 28, 2023 Booked this one a few months back, but just haven't been on the boards as much lately due to a busy work schedule so finally getting a chance to join the roll calls... Definitely got excited for this one since so few itineraries go to all 3 of the ABC islands in the same sailing and have heard from many of how great they all are so I am excited to be able to get to all of them for one trip. I'll be headed out from the west coast and getting into Fort Lauderdale on Sunday morning and just booked my hotel for the night before; definitely in full countdown mode for the trip!

Jack805 Posted March 29, 2023 Report Share Posted March 29, 2023 Happy to be trying out a new location - this will be my first Caribbean cruise. I've been glad to have Royal sailing from Los Angeles for my introductory sailings, though much more limited itineraries from LA than what the Caribbean can offer. But that hasn't stopped me from enjoying a few trips to the Mexican Riviera since my recent start of cruising to discover how much I enjoy it (I've got a B2B from LA booked for later in the year!).

DesireeG Posted April 6, 2023 Report Share Posted April 6, 2023 Super excited about this cruise. Especially repositioning to Baltimore and get to see grandson. We are in a junior suite. Can someone tell me please what time is priority boarding? I have 11:30 boarding time. Can I get on earlier ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAAAYTOOO Posted April 6, 2023 Report Share Posted April 6, 2023 I haven't departed from Port Everglades in a few years but if it is working like PoM, the suites will be allowed to enter the terminal first, which, at PoM is generally occurring at around 10:15-10:30. Then you must wait in the terminal for boarding to begin...but again, the suites will be among the first to board. That is generally (at PoM_ around 11:00. When you are in a suite, the arrival time that you choose online, ahead of time, is irrelevant. The suites all enter the terminal and board at the same time.

Jack805 Posted April 27, 2023 Report Share Posted April 27, 2023 Yeah, while I’m obviously a bit disappointed to be delayed getting on board, at least we know and can plan accordingly if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAAAYTOOO Posted April 27, 2023 Report Share Posted April 27, 2023 I guess this makes sense as May 1 will be the last cruise before Vision relocates to Baltimore. We are on now. I wish we could stay on for the next one (we tried but the sailing is completely sold out). I absolutely love Vision. It came as a surprise to me as we have sailed Grandeur many times and I was never a huge fan….but I really like Vision.

True, hopefully there are no issues found and we can get on smoothly, even if a little delayed. Sorry you were met with a sold out sailing, I’m sure an extra 10 days would be greatly enjoyed. I’m happy to have found and booked this sailing when I did as I got nice rate, and it definitely seemed to fill up right around final payment date. I’m excited to try out Vision - especially to be on it for the joy of cruising and sailing. I feel like I’m going to enjoy it just fine without the bells and whistles of the newer ships, and with the sea days I should get plenty of time to relax and enjoy the ship.

ColonialDame Posted April 28, 2023 Report Share Posted April 28, 2023 Easy drive to Baltimore and happy to welcome Vision for May 11 sailing. No learning curve since we sailed Grandeur many times, starting in her inaugural season in Florida. She had had a rough go of it by the time she home ported in Baltimore, but we loved her anyway, especially staff. We are an older couple and don’t need bells and whistles. When traveling with extended family we are happy with Freedom class ships and look forward to Symphony next year. Does anyone know if concierge Jamie will be staying aboard?
