Previously Princess had put out teaser for this itinery in a survey asking for interest. Well it
certainly caught our attention that we thought “oooh that is a bucket list
entry” ... this was well before we even left for our 2011 World Cruise. Even when we mentioned this to Captain Toddy
in one of his “mingle with the passengers walkabout” he actually said that so
many people on this cruise had actually mentioned this to him...
Well in December 2011 six of our other 8 tables mates from
2011 were all on the Diamond Princess together... where one got some inside
information that this cruise was about to be release.... Straight away they
sent us all an email alerting us to the fact....
It was probably around 11pm and we were just turning
everything off and heading up to bed when I decided to do that last minute
check of emails before shutting down.
Well you probably could have heard me scream from the top of the street
when the email arrived ...... and it had a map!!
Composing myself I thought “now I have sell this to
Garry ........ “Garry”...... “Honey”....... “Sweety, come and take a look at this....”
He came, he looked, I conquered........ As he scrolled down the list of ports we were
booking before he even reached the bottom.....

We were both so excited.... the planning had already
started.... I googled and googled and
googled trying to find out some kind of leak that would verify that cruise was
really happening.... according to our source the cruise would not be released
till the following week.... I searched and searched, but to no avail.... I
emailed our agent, but I had more information that she had.... so I had to sit and wait...wait and wait....

Finally all was revealed, confirmed and paid for.... WE ARE ON!!
Not just that... but not just four, six or eight of our table mates are
returning, but all ten are doing our cruise...
All we need now is to get Head Waiter Maurizio, and table waiters
Watchara and Neil, give us table 18 and it will be like we never got off the
ship..... Bring it on....
Can you believe out of 104 days I don’t have picture of all
10 of us together....
