    I took my first solo cruise on RC Serenade of the Seas at 61 years old. Stepped waaaay out of my comfort zone. Proud of you!

    Hey. I started cruising at the end of 2021 to make up for the lost time during the pandemic.
    Ive made it my mission to try as many of different cruise lines in Europe at least once. 4 down, a few more to go.
    Appreciate your enthusiasm to get out there and explore the world, even when things don't always go to plan.
    I had that moment a few years back and haven't looked back since.
    I too landed a great job which is allowing me the flexibility and the finances to travel several times a year.
    I'm currently on a 3.5 week solo trip through the Arabian Gulf and Thailand. The only person stopping you from living the life you want is you. So get out there and live it!
    Even if this one didn't pan out exactly how you hoped, wishing you the best of luck with the future adventures.

    I went on that same royal caribbean ship the day that same day you got off, I actually would have loved the change to tasmania but we went as per the itinerary.
    I didn't get off at mystery Island, too hot and no shade, so I made full use of the pools spa and the pool bar- gombay smash, mango pina colada, mudslide😋 then of course windjammer breakfast, and vintages for a chill out nightcap. But glad you enjoyed it anyhow.

    We were on this cruise too. Quantum is my dream ship as well. Think we might have even seen you a few times. Wish I'd known you were travelling solo, would have stopped to say hello and invited you to one of our parties (we had 44 randoms at one- some through personal invites others through invitations we hid around the ship) . Was pretty bummed out about the change in itinerary too but having spent a fortune on this sailing for the Royal Loft Suite we didn't want to cancel at the last minute (apparently 200 people chose not to board at the terminal and were given a full refund). Still made the best of it and I agree the production shows were amazing especially Starwater. Loved it so much we had breakfast arranged with some of the cast in 270 and then went back to watch the show on the final night. If you went for the magician/comedian show on the last night after Starwater I was the guy in the cupid outfit that John the cruise director made stand up in front of the whole crowd which was hilariously embarrassing.

    • @ParisHedger
      @ParisHedger  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Oh my gosh I remember you, I got a photo with you in the Cupid outfit!! I loved it so much haha! Wow I couldn’t imagine how bummed you were about spending all that money for a suite, just for Hobart, but I’m sure the room was awesome! Star water was sooo good, I think I saw it three times 😂 I’m glad you had a good time tho & made the most of it!

      When you book the cruise, you can log into the Royal Caribbean App and book the onboard activities I think a couple months before you sail. But most of it can be booked on board 2 days prior to the day you want to book if that makes sense
