Hi Phil - talk about a blast from the past:

its just a topic on HT so any who are going on the cruise on that date can chat swap info and get to know each other, it was great for the last cruise I did.
Wasn't it just, but where have the past couple of years gone. :lol: Lovely to see your name pop up again. Hope you have a super cruise. :glynis

aslemma my faithful and intreped traveler as ever its a pleasure to see you around too, although i fear i have gone main stream and booked a most of the day trips with OV so no sitting in capri having a drink overlooking the harbour. mostly because iam not going to capri this time, but also as the cruise ticks most of my boxes so didnt want to miss a thing trying to go solo!(and lower cost)

my other half says she wont see me for two weeks as i will be off 'looking at old buildings that havent been finnished yet' :? hey ho.

most of the stops are in the high 30's to 40's but i am really really really loking forward to cruising again, but i do fear the company wont be as.....as.........as............ errrrrrrrrrrrrrrr fun? energitic? sarcastic? happy? mad? nice? well maybe all of those and more (no offence thespain!!!) but it was a heck of a week, not sure MSC ever got over it! i know it took me a while, and in booking and planning this trip i did get all my photos out from 2005 for the first time in ages and for those 7 days in july 8 strangers came together and had a great time, what a wonderfull thing the internet can be from being a solo bod to a large group who (mostly) got on.

anyway enough looking back or i could wax lyrical for ages. and iam sure HT does not have the storage space for that!

Today I have had an email from Semple Cruises with a lot of offers on this cruise line also from Liverpool for the same with offers of Transatlantic repositioning cruises etc. There are some very good offers for anyone who wish to cruise on this line. No doubt you can find the offers on their web site or you may already subscribe to their email offers.

I'm sure you'll have a lovely time Phil but the Melody will take a lot of beating, mainly because of the company (and sitting with a drink watching the parade in Ibiza). I've not cruised since but I've been back to St Tropez and still go to Tunisia every year (where you went archeological and most of us went shopping :lol: )

Well I'm back!

Not sure if I'm likely to post a review - too much thought and effort required! But I'm happy to answer any questions about OV or the Olives and Ouzo itinery.

In short. It was okay, pretty much what I expected...but I still prefer the Destiny!

Oooo Jess, please write a review, even if it's a brief one. You know how useful they are for other members. :wink:

I would recommend typing it out in Word first so that you can check the spelling, etc. I also means you have a copy if the review disaapears from our database as has occasionally happened.

None taken! Although not sure I like my new name - although no doubt the kids I teach think I'm a pain! Like you, we had a fabulous cruise a couple of summers ago with a brilliant set of people - it's easier to meet people on ships with set dining times I think. However, I'm sure it will be fabulous - how can it not be with all those (to quote my DH) piles of old stones to look at - bliss :lol: :lol:
