You can apply for a new passport within 9 months of the due expiry date and the remaining 9 months will be added to the new passport.

To be quite honest my natural HT home is the Tunisia forum, which is where I started out and I think I can possibly be of some help to new visitors to that country. I discovered this cruise thread by very happy accident and am very grateful for the help and support I've received here. I am delighted that I 'know' some of the people I will be cruising with and will certainly give a report on my return (possibly censored to spare all our blushes :roll:) and keep an eye on how things are going. I love all the silly banter and have made some good friends but I doubt if I will be able to add anything of value except my good wishes, so I think it unlikely I will post on this forum very often.

i was on my way back from my vol. work when i heard my local radio 3 counties talking to a lady about her offer to share a cabin or go on list for 2006.she chose the later option,i wonder if any of them will hear in 2006 or am i just cynical..i sawtrisontona also heard this lady. does the station go as far or wasit chance?it would be interesting to know how many people in total everywhere have got confirmed cruises as we are only the ones who managed to find h.t.i wonder if i will find any others on opera?it would be nice to meet and share a drink i envy all the ones meeting up on melody or perhaps its tonys free drink i am after. a wet day here ,i gather weather gettingworse by weekend .has spring come and gone?carol.

Re Three Counties radio. Although I live in Nottinghamshire I can still receive the station on 630 medium wave. In fact it can be picked up as far north as Sheffield. I used to live in Essex and work in the Hertfordshire/ Essex area . I always listened to the programme then while driving around. When I moved up here I was delighted to find that I could still listen to it. Things have now moved on and Three Counties can now be heard all over the world via the Internet.

Was the photo we saw ofWilliams cabin or was it the broom locker, maybe he is a stowaway or has he jumped ship. To I checked the teletex holidays for a cruise and found MS ROYALSTAR, 14 nights, 6nights at Kenya beach hotel and the rest of the time cruising, Zanzibar and the spice islands, the cabins are like hotel rooms and all this for £589. There was also MED cruises for £310, for 7 days. If you check MSC cruises on teletex we should not be paying extra for a cruise. Maggsy I happen to be a ex EngineerOfficer so if you Hi Jack a ship all we need is a Deck Officer and the seas are ours. Must doit before the light nights. Tukumb0.

Hi Yukumb0,
I was thinking of employing Tony in the dual role of Deck Officer and Cruise Director in view of his experience in the entertainment world.
Will the nights still be dark when Phil gets back? I could rename the ship Stealth Cruiser, only docking during darkness hours!

Any news of your cruise?

Hi

I am pleased to say that William is still active and has assisted me with information on his cruise.

Remember, William is the only one of us to get this particular cruise from DE/RT but, fortunately, my wife and I are are going on the same cruise at the end of this month.

It will cost a lot more than £10, but after 53 years of marriage I thought I had better give her a holiday as a break from working in the garden raising crops all day.

I hope that we are still all having single cabins as my 'companian' will soon get fed up with me getting out of bed all night for the usual old mans problems!!!! :oops: :oops: :P

As the forum seems to be quiet at the moment I have been dipping in to other forums, there is so much to talk about. I know many of you are not new to the General chat forum, which can only be gained if you are a HT member. So for the visitors out there who look in here from time to time, get yourself registered and have fun.
Also on the T-shirt front, I thought that there was only one design, wrong there are quite a few including hoodies, so take a look and get ordering. I shall be buying at least 2 and I believe delivery is express.

Hi Dizzy,
Isn't the range very good, something for everybody! I can confirm that delivery is very speedy. Mine came all the way from Genoa in under a week!

Come along everyone, get buying, our forum could use the publicity!

Hi all......

I`m getting slightly concerned about the excitement generated by my `limited offer` round of drinks. :shock:

To clarify, here is a duplication of the post I made on the 04.07.05 Roll call thread:

Now let`s just get something straight about this round of drinks.........I have already purchased them and you have a choice:

Carbonated or non-carbonated!


Now I think we understand each other!!

............when I get back from the cruise? Hopefully I will be exhausted and unable to post here.................for an hour or two at least!! :rofl :kiss
Re: T shirts..............I had a look but could not find an appropriate string vest which will match my knotted handkerchief. :shock:

Since I am on a different cruise, I too shall miss out on Tony's drink. I hope to be in Salisbury on 7th March for the College reunion. Perhaps you could leave my drink with the Constable at High Street Gate!

As someone else said, I too need a holiday now. Hoping for a week in Menorca with Saga (drinks all day included) at the end of April.

Hi Tony,
if you post your address, and accept delivery costs, I think I can lay my hands on just the vest you seek.
Watch this space.

I think we all must be exhausted by this! I too decided I needed a break and have booked a long weekend break to Carcassonne at the end of April (cheap flight with Ryanair). Has anyone been there - it looks a lovely? I'm not really planning much - just walks round the walls, river/canal trips etc.

He everyone, we have another cruise success, mb85 on Lirica 18th June, on a sharing basis!
That brightens my day!

Hi Magsy
No it wasn't my consultant who was a very helpful female, this was a male I had never spoken to before. It doesn't give a good impression of their organisation.
Reply
Hi Dogleap,
That does tend to confirm my idea that they may be using a call centre, although there haven't been any reports of calls today.
