Thread: Introducing Pondrippler

Hello friends !!

I've spent about 40 years listing all the reasons cruising was not for me.

Finally, as a favor to my wife and sister in law, I consented to a four day, three night cruise on Celebrity's Mercury. Seattle to Vancouver, BC to Nanaimo, BC and back to Seattle.

I LOVED IT,

In May, there will be about 30 of my wife's family and friends sailing the InlandPassage to Alaska on the Golden Princess. . . seven days.

I'm anxious to learn more and hear any special hints.

My wife has MS and travels in her electric wheelchair. Accomodations
on the Mercury were incredible. It appears that the Golden Princess
is also well-designed anstaffed for disabled passengers.

BTW . . You can call me Pondie . . or Larry.

Hey Larry

Welcome to the friendliest cruise forum on the internet! Once that cruise bug bites there is no cure. LOL!

Welcome to the friendliest board on the net!!!

You will absolutely love sailing to Alaska - we spent 2 weeks there this past Summer and it's amazing! And Princess is one of the best in Alaska!

But you have proven the old addage to those who have never cruised before; Once you've cruised, we've got you hooked! Sort of like Lays Potato Chips; you can't eat just one!!

Welcome aboard - there's lots of friendly people here who will help answer any of your questions.

Welcome! Pull up a chair and stay a while!

I've cruised Alaska twice and loved both times!

You are going to like it here at CLF!!

Welcome Larry!!! You'rw going to love it here. When was the cruise you took. I was on the same cruise last Oct 12. I took my two little grandsons and we had a blast. I love the Mercury.

Welcome aboard, Pondie. If you have any questions, members here have a vast amount of knowledge about cruising that they'll be glad to share with you. All you have to do is ask!

Hi Larry and aboard. When that cruise bug bites, there is a cure. It's another cruise, and then another and so on.
