Hi All

Arrived back last night from great Melody cruise. It was half term for Italian schools - enough said! I have never been in the company of so many noisy Italians. I have to do the Church coffee shop so will write more later.

On the dining room wine menu, there is a half litre carafe of wine for 6 euros which I will recommend - even the wine dealer from South Africa drank it.

I have not had time to read all postings but I know there was a worry about Airitalia strikes. I noticed two flights were cancelled but otherwise OK. (I travelled BA.)

Good Morning (Oh him again) well the marie curie do need the cash :!: :sun

Does anyone know if the MSC have been cultered, or do they do the usual forgien rubbish cup of 'HOT' (not boiling) cup of water with the tea bag (always Liptons :bhead :!: ) on the side and carry it 300 yds to you :?: :?:

:hmmm Or does one get a tea pot with good tea, the answer depends on wether I bring my kettle/tea pot and a supply of tea bags. :hmmm

Just realised ... my original allocation for was 4th June Libya cruise. Shame R*** couldn't have messed up in our favour and sent me on that one too. I could have been sailing away by now :)

Magsy - how's the packing coming along?

No new cruises so what happened to the 'within two weeks' mentioned on Three Counties Radio?

My husband has just told me my tickets for the 13th have arrived.

I'm so excited, I can now start packing - hope its hot!

The Eur6 wine sounds a good deal, I might have to try that, I know I'm going to have a drink tonight to celebrate.

Hold in there all the other lucky 13thers - see you on board!

Phil,

The tea is a tea bag and hot water but make sure you ask for cold milk. Even if you ask for room service, you have a pot of water and a tea bag separately. You can even have decaffinated or Earl Grey tea bags. You can have your clothes ironed for euros a piece.

Great to hear tickets are arriving and some posters are really off on their cruises. 8) It has gone quiet but just wait until those of us who have agreed to wait for a 2006 allocation start getting or not getting the promised phone calls in July and sparks will start to fly once again. :evil: Then we will really need the help and support of all of you who have been successful and obtained cruises in 2005. I think there are fewer new users because of all those allocated the Libya cruises who have given up I really wish they could find this forum. :?: I wonder if there is anyone expecting their tickets for Libya on 12th June I do hope not.

Those of you going next week have a fabulous time.

Good Afternoon from Plastered du Paris :D :D :D :D

Great news about Magsey, :pele :pele :pele :pele :pele :pele

Who will be our font of knowledge whilst we have this gap in our lives ? :hmmm I ask Should she be allowed to leave us all like this without any contingency plan (like for instance haveing a Netsat link (after all she wil only need the Northern one to be linked into). I think it is most inconsiderate of her not to take all of these factors into consideration, or she should not have gone on a cruise until all her loyal subjects ahd been and gone,
:omg Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh the men in the white coats are hereeeeeeee :bow :bow :bow :bow

Bless you Phil for the kind words! Don't worry, Dizzy and Craig will be here to look after you, not to mention the coven! Hopefully when I get back I will have lots of inconsequential but useful information for those following on! It looks like MSC is very much getting the thumbs up so far and I am sure I will be adding to it! Packing etc beginning to take shape now, at last!

When do the antibiotics finish?

I agree. The half carafe of wine for 6 Euros sounds like a deal. I'm be having a few of them. Thanks for the heads up.
