I now won't have to try and catch a few zzzzzz's on uncomfy coach next to a person who wants to show me their collection of molluscus...believe I always sit next to that sort of person


I know the feeling Juro. I always seem to attract the totally boring and smelly people on public transport as well :rofl

going for my euro's at the weekend so I don't forget them (just for when I go ashore) down to 1.46 euros / £ (should have got them last week :rage )

Just waiting for the tickets now :pele :pele

Hope the tickets arrive soon Mike. Gee....I forgot all about euros must get some next week. Will wait and see if the rate becomes more favourable. Think it's time to start making "the list". I have no idea why I think that I can remember everything - for example I have horrendous reaction to mosequito bites (believe me you don't want the graphic details) but here I am am with an antihistamine to my name!.

A result :) , but not what i really wanted. Finally Lara returned my calls :shock: after numerous attempts :roll: She asked what i was calling about :? you would think she should of known :roll:
Then she said, it was in the hands of the directors, so i am none the wiser :roll: Just wait a reply to my letter fron SM at the DE, Hoping Watchdog are able to help me and anyone else, i am totally :? with the whole situation and very :x :x and may end up :bhead

Don't you dare give up Mikey :shock: just stick in there we will get our cruise in the end. Have a fabulous cruise Juro a slight detour of the wine tanker to mid Wales would be appreciated. I have been on a course in sunny Milton keynes for a few days but I will commence the onslaught to the DE tomorrow. :wave Carol R.

Right let the onslaught commence :yikes Time to get our fists ready and start fighting :!: I am totally fed up being fobbed of with stories from the DE saying its in hand :x I shall keep bombarding them until i get the answer i want or i think it will be time for the protest march outside the DE offices :!:

Forget Monday, laine, it's a Bank Holiday. Let battle commence on Tuesday.
Juro, have a fabulous time :fly and take some pics so we can all enjoy your cruise even if it's second hand. We in Wales will not let you down. We will empty the tanker in your absence. :rofl

:twisted: Hurrah for the rallying cry. Get stuck in to the DE - don't get fobbed off, they really have had it easy. What do they mean "it's up to the directors?" Bet the directors are all swanning off this Bank Hol on their yatchs. Keep up the pressure, guys and gals (oops a Jimmy Savillain moment there I'm afraid!) and eventually they will have to start giving answers. On the fun side - I quite fancy a peaceful protest outside their offices :oops: You will now see me building to a frenzy, as after over a year of planning for "the cruise" I realise I'm not even half prepared so watch this space for manic messages. Nite nite.

Have a great time Juro - we know you will :!: :D :wave

Another Director to contact - besides S. Myerson - (when I put in his full name, it came up 'REMOVED' ??....... is his name banned?) and owner, Richard Desmond is:

Marketing Director, Roland Agambar,
roland.agambar@express.co.uk

It may be an idea to send e-mails plus copies to all of them at the same time. It seems as if they are just all sitting on their laurels (to be polite!) and playing a game of wait and see ............. they may be assuming that it will just die a natural death.

Keep up the fighting spirit and knock their laurels from under them :!: :!: :bhead

Just a thought, but why not copy watchdog into any e mails you send the DE, and you could also copy the Daily Mail, local radio stations etc. as everyone has an e mail address now!!!!! :rofl

That should stir things up in the DE Tower :omg

you could also start polite and then emphasise things with bold text and then coloured bold text and if that does not work keep increasing the font size until you get the answer you want. :argue

believe me it does work and :gluck

And you a fine upstanding member of the community Juro :roll: Hope you have a wonderful time on your cruise. Goodness knows you have waited long enough for it. I've had mine and it was great but, like you, I am only too aware of the many others who are so far getting nowhere fast. :evil: Pressure will certainly have to be put on the DE and kept up until this fiasco gets sorted out to the satisfaction of most (I admit I'm not particularly worried as to whether those at the DE are satisfied) :roll:

Anyone that has already been on the Melody know of a good jewellery shop in Malta (mother wants a decent Maltese cross pendant while I'm over there) :bow

Hi all you fighters count be in harassing the DE I am definitely starting e-mailing all of them and ringing until we get a satisfactory answer and confirmation of our cruises. I am convinced that they believe we will all give up if they delay for long enough, little do they know :x it is great to see more contributors to the forum and I wish we good get in touch with the people who have not found the forum. I am afraid some of them must have given up. :roll: already if they have heard nothing. We will overcome in the end :wave :gluck :D

Can't believe it - received my cruise tickets this morning. My cruise date is 10th September on the MSC Lirica. Not had a chance to check all the details yet but will go through the tickets with a fine tooth comb tonight!

Don't give up on getting your cruise.

Thanks to everyone on this forum for the support and information - it has been an absolute godsend. I imagine a lot of people like me don't post a lot but a day doesn't go by without me logging on to catch up.

Thanks again and good luck to all those who've yet to received their promised cruise.

Hi Elaine, Good to hear that you have your tickets. I travelling on the Opera on the same day as you but haven't got mine yet. I'll be waiting under the letterbox tomorrow morning though! How about the Melody cruisers on the 5th - do you have anything yet?

Come on Juro, get yourself organised, just a week of planning and packing time left! :wink:

I am pleased to see that people are getting stirred up ready to protest about their lack of a cruise. Like Elaine i have been so lucky to have found this site early on in time for me to book using its advice and email link. Hopefully the Express will start to take note of it again if they hear dissent is brewing once more.
