Hello, I'm Leanne!

Hi Everyone

I'm Leanne! I used to lurk on the board long ago, and I've always been a fan. I went on my first ever cruise last March and now I'm hooked! I'm dying to travel on a cruise again. My goal right now is to save for a Northern European cruise. I'd love to visit Russia!

I also write a travel blog about all the places I go and all my planning. My mom is a travel agent so that helps facilitate my obsession - haha! My blog is called TravelwithLeanne.com. I hope you'll check it out.

I look forward to meeting everyone! Does anyone have a favourite cruise line? Or a favourite itinerary?

Welcome aboard. A great group of people here with lots of info on cruising & just about anything else you may have questions about.

Have only cruised about 6 times but 1 of our favorite lines is Celebrity. We are cruising to San Juan & St. Thomas in April on the Eclipse. Two places we haven't been to but would like to see: Alaska & the Panama Canal. Due to health issues we aren't sure how many more cruises we will be able to take but if things go well our next cruise will most likely be to 1 of those 2 places.

Hi Kathy! Thanks for the welcome. Your cruise sounds amazing, I'd love to see San Juan. It looks so beautiful there. Any of the places you mentioned would be great destinations to see. Those are all on my bucket list.

Welcome aboard Leanne! I'm doing "your" Northern Europe cruise this year! I am so anxious to visit St. Petersburg. It has been something I've wanted to do for years!

I've enjoyed all of my cruises but I admit that most of them have been on Princess...so many in fact that now I always check their itineraries and prices before I choose any other line. It is hard to give up my Princess perks! :biggrin:


I'll go check out your blog! Hang around and join in all the conversation. You will be very welcome here!

Welcome to C@ Leanne!

You're welcome to cruise in my part of the world (of course that goes for you too, Beryl)!
Even though I'm living in Sweden, only a short way from Russia, I have only been to St Petersburg twice. It's a great city with a lot to see.
I have never seen as many Limo-Hummer's as in St Petersburg. They seem to be used by almost everyone that was getting married.

Here is a link to a thread with some photos from my latest cruise to St Petersburg.

It's mostly photos from the park outside of the palace Peterhof and from the subway.

I really hope you will be able to do your Northern Europe Cruise!
Just let me know when you will be in Stockholm, so I can drop by and say "Hi".

Beryl, I'm *sooooo* jealous of your Northern European cruise! Russia is tops on my list to see, it looks so beautiful there. I agree with you that the perks are hard to ignore. My first cruise was with Holland America and now that I'm a one-star mariner, I wanna keep building on that.

Thank you for checking out my blog. It's still pretty new but I hope to grow it more this year - and travel more! :)

Wow, Erik your pics from St. Petersburg are amazing! It makes me want to go even more now. That's interesting about the Hummer limos. It seems like a busy spot. I hope I get to visit someday soon! :)

Welkom ann Boord! Great to have some new blood joining our crew. Nice blog site. Especially like your selection of cruise line (SunFlower and I are MAJOR Holland America fanatics)!

Post early and post often ....
