September 2007

If you are lucky enough to be cruising during the month, please list your cruise and the date and we will do our best to stalk you along your journey to get a glimpse of your ship. Please list your dates and ports.

We leave for Anchorage on September 10 for our pre-PANDA cruise to the Aleutians, Russia, and Northern Japan. The ports are Kodiak, Kamchatka Island (Petropavlovsk), Hakodate, Sendai, Yokohama (for Tokyo) and Osaka. The GrayWolf's are also on this segment with us making it the Wolf Pack cruise :app: . Our mission on this segment (which we choose to accept) is to make sure there's still some Grey Goose left for when all the PANDA people join us.

Wolf Pack Cruisers: Have a great time and I am envious - sounds like a great trip!!! When Pandas board your R&R days are over!!! Joanna

We're on the Grand Princess, 16 days S'ampton to NYC, with stops in Bergin and Geiranger, Norway, then the Faroes, two stops in Iceland, then Greenland, and lastly St.John's, before NYC.
A very, very inexpensive cruise, with 8 wonderful sea days.

Isn't it great that we have so many choices!

Yeehaw - the tix are here! I'll be boarding the Mariner 9/05/07 in Vancouver to sail to Osaka.

Peggy, I look forward to meeting the Wolf Pack.

Happy Travels!

Nancy, this is an interesting "crossing"! I am eager to learn what Regent plans for the crossings in 2009, as I had so much fun on mine this year. Would just prefer a different itinerary. I guess I thought you could fit more ports into that time. Perhaps not.

Wishing the Wolfpack cruisers and Splish a great cruise!

Olivia,

The Symphony repositions from Northern Europe and does this type of crossing every September. They vary the itinerary every year but it is typically 14 to 16 days. I can't wait for the cool weather and the great sea day lecture line up. This cruise is a film and Theatre theme. It then does several Canada/NE intineraries.

I also wish Wolfpack Splish a great cruise.

Nancy

I am thrilled to be going for the second time to Alaska on the Mariner.

My first ever cruise was the Mariner to Alaska in 2001, so it will be nice to see her since her refurbishment.

I am being joined by some friends, and this is their first cruise ever.

I am sure they will forever spoiled and addicted to cruising, just like me!

It's easy to get addicted on Regent, isn't it, IG. I am turning my good buddy onto cruising on the Naviagtor this January. Can't wait for her to get the cruise bug with me.

Island Girl, I plan on attending the Solo Travelers get together on the 1st evening - please try to drop by & say Hi!

Nancy, I look forward to hearing about your cruise. I'd like to try another cool weather cruise. Every year I try to escape the Texas heat in Aug. or Sept., so I been to Alaska several times. Spent the month of August on the Mariner last year.

Hey Coffee Cup, which Captain, Cruise Director & Assistant, Hotel Director, Destination Specialist were on the ship when you sailed?

Happy Travels All!
Gay Rie

Gay Rie,

Since Houston is so hot and humid for many months each year, we tend to go on a cruise in the late summer or early fall somewhere cool. We've done the British Isles, Alaska and Canada/NE the past few years. Austin is a great city but it can get as hot as Houston...less humidity.

Enjoy your wonderful cruise. What a great itinerary.

Nancy

Aloha Splish!

I will try to stop by and say hi, thanks for the invite.

If not, I'm sure I'll see you on-board.

Here's to a safe journey to Vancouver. See you soon.

I assumed (incorrectly) that this was for LCT cruise lines. I see it isn't.
I leave on the 12th on the Emerald Princess for the Med. Italy, Turkey,Greece, France and Spain.
I know I will be in culture shock having never sailed on that a ship that comes anywhere close to 3100 passengers! Lynn

Lynn - sounds like a fantastic itinerary. Be sure to send seamail.

Cheers, Anne

Thanks, Anne. I understand email is pretty expensive on princess, but I will try. There are 2 of us who have managed to accummulate a group of 45 people, with multiple private tours in all the ports. Should be mind-boggling.
