Just booked the Queen Anne for the inaugural season. It'll be our third "new" ship in less than three years. The previous ones were the Celebrity Apex and Discovery Princess.

Sailing Celebrity Beyond right before Thanksgiving, contemplating adding a cruise on another ship for the week of Thanksgiving. Went ahead and added a cruise on HAL Nieuw Amsterdam
ysolde I think a friend's parents on your transatlantic with you in November.

Just booked the November 29, 2024 TA on NCL Viva (which is still under construction, but should be ready sometime in mid-2023). It's a re-positioning cruise that takes us from Lisbon to Morocco to Cape Verde to the Canaries, across the Atlantic to St. Maarten, then St. Thomas, and, finally, Puerto Rico. Right before the holidays. Sounds absolutely magical. We don't know much about the Prima class ships, so anyone who has sailed on them, please share!

NCL is in a weird spot right now. A bit of an identity crisis. These Prima ships definitely make a run at Celebrity and Princess for the mass market luxury market, but they still have the Go Cart tracks and crazy water slides which are more like Royal and Carnival. Can they compete on both ends? I’m looking forward to trying out the Prima class with an Premium Plus Drink Package in hand (hello Veuve before dinner!)

Just booked the Nov. 11 2023 sailing of Hurtigruten's Trollfjord. 15 days. If we don't see the Northern Lights we get a free cruise the following year. I suspect we will see them

And how is this executed? If no sighting until the middle of the last night, would the crew make a ship-wide announcement to wake everyone up?!
