Hi Dogleap and Good Evening form the Balcony

It seems tha there is only you and I on line, no other responce perhaps no one looked at the deck plans on line before I am supposed to have a class 8 outside on an upper deck but I cannot find an outside class 8

Perhaps we should should get on with life, after you with the bottle

Byeeee and Goo dnight to all

Phil

I'm still awake, Phil.

I've been sorting out clothes to take as I go next Monday. I'm category 7 on premier deck. You were lucky to get an outside cabin. They have cabins for disabled people on Oceanic deck and they are outside. Maybe they've given you one of those.

Hi Phil
If I remember correctly the symbols are to do with the view from the portholes. Some just look out onto lifeboats, others out to sea.

Don,t remember any CLASS 8 cabins, are you sure it isn,t Category 8?

Where are all the reports and photo,s from returned cruisers?
(seen your photo Stulaine)

Happy Cruising to those going next

Peter

Good afternoon from the Balcony

With weather like this who needs a cruise It is fantastic - if this is Global warming put me down for a years full, although I do realise it has an impact some where in the World .
:pele

Hi Peter a
Maybe I am in class 8 a bit lower than class 3, perhaps MSC have been reading the posts or perhaps the ex directors of MKM got new jobs

Byeeee for now
Got Ebay to attend to - what price a zimmer

Hello all,

I'm back - sadly! The cruise was fantastic and well worth the wait and the fight.

The Opera was a beautiful ship, the cabin was spacious (huge compared to my Venice hotel room!), the food was fantastic and the dinner companions excellent company. There were four other Daily Expressers that I knew about and most of them were at my table.

I am still recovering my energy so there is much more still to say, which I'll probably post in my 10/09 Opera thread, but any questions fire away. Of course i haven't forgotten about the review!

I've just had a quick scan through the posts and I see you have all been busy while I've been away. Some more so than others!



Chow, for now,
Craig.

God Evening from the Balcony

Byeee for now

I was inside on Premier Deck and that was 7. Are the Category 8 the ones that are shown in red?

My cabin on Premier Deck had a double bed although it was only about 4 feet wide.

Maureen

Good Evening from the Balcony

Bit of a chill tonight, nearly time for the woolies and bed socks

Thanks Maureen H For the tip but, where do you see the red ones ? Cabins I mean. All I see are triangles, squares and circles - unless juro sent a dodgey tanker over last week, just 'cause I set it back via Tweksbury (why waste money on a toll) who said we were all crazy (I'll shoot them with my water pistol). Just wait one day they will need my King Dick's then they'll be sorry

Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeee for now, number 2 here tonight so things are not so bad

Byeeeee

This is a long shot, but can any of you going on the Melody help us? Our Memory card was full up so we went in to the tiny camera film shop near thre harbour in Ibeza town. When we got the disc home it could onlty read the first 17 files, and, there are pictures of Magsy, Legospice, Terry and Cardiff Girl in there!!!!!!. Its in a big street wth a park down the middle, i'll be able to get the name off the Credit card recipt when I have sorted all of them out. Beware also the lady charged us 4 Euros when on the screen of the machine it said 3 Euros! We saw it get stuck, and the other half of Stulaine said, "are you sure this is working?"
Does anyone know? Is the record off our card still in the machine? If so could any cruisers go in and find out the phone number or the Email address of the shop so I can get a second copy done. Seems a bit of a long shot but we are disappointed

I notice there is a small, but elite, group of us on the MSC Melody next Monday:
JennieL
LizF
Terry (Terry S)
Mari Blackstock
CFH_1107
Hope to meet you all, perhaps at Heathrow for breakfast! I will be the tired looking bloke at Heathrow having driven down from the Midlands in the early hours.
Terry

Back from the Melody (another long day)

everything was brilliant and the staff very helpfull

Just got 1 thing to say for all those going on the Melody and that is to keep your eyes out for Marylin

I am setting up a web page for a full write up of the cruise and all of the pictures taken (over 200)

keep fighting

Mike

Hi Mike, glad to hear that you got back home safe and sound. I seem to have misplaced the email addresses that I collected on board but I am sure they will turn up.
I always had a sneaky suspicion that you were slightly jealous that Gary got to sample Marylin's delights and you didn't.
Thanks for the great company, I am looking forward to viewing the photo show.

Sue

I had a plan sent with my tickets but I have thrown it out. Have just looked on the plan on the MSC web page and they are showing 8 as a mauve colour. there is a deck plan showing all the cabins. It is msccruises.com.
