We have to go to a clinic at the local mental hospital for blood tests.

Maureen,

you'll probably find its full of DE cruise hopefuls

Maureen H,
Your waiter and mine must have been related, we seemed to get wine most nights at the table, and l dont mean a glass either!!! Busters table must have been specially strengthened to cope with the weight of all their bottles, nobody asked how and Nello was to polite ever say where it came from, l think with his tips he bought a pad in St tropez!!!!

Phil :

It's a good number of years since my behaviour shocked anyone.

I have another sin to admit - occasionally I would eat a piece of plain dark chocolate at the same time!!

How shocking is that ASBO next, I should think!!

I will plead guilty in court, but in my defence I will submit the evidence that I drank 3 beers in one day (oooh! : ) , participated fully in the Gala Evening - several free champagnes and martinis and I kept an ever-decreasing bottle of Campari in my cabin.

I am sorry if my behaviour has upset you and I promise to fall in line in the future..........

Alli,

you certainly know how to push the boat out (pun intended) when you go on holiday
mike

Thanks everyone for keeping everything crossed, what a picture, but alas no. No tickets, £20 in calls on my mobile, seems we are to be allocated on arrival!!!! Have you ever been on one of those? Still we are on the ship, thats all I care about.

Mike

Did I say it was the same bottle?????

you certainly know how to push the boat out

Don't forget this was a £10 cruise!!

Alli

I just hope all that 6 euro wine has lowered my cholesterol.

Probably not Maureen, but at least it will make for easy starting in the winter!!

Rosie,

Re: The late tickets, you should be OK so long as your on `the system` then they will find you. Did you get a reference number or anything on the `phone like you do with airline e-tickets?

R*** said I should phone again tomorrow, then thay would do a package for me to collect on the transfers. They do know we are booked on the ship. The only paper work I have is the confirmation. Long term watchers will know, that they sent my first confirmation to someone by the name of Price in Exeter. Maybe they also have the tickets! Could get a bit cramped in the cabin dont you know. I dont care, I am going, let them sort it out there.
Rosie

Good Evening fellow cruisers.

bit nippy around the trusics this evening - had to close down the hatches, well the Balcony windows and plug in the sun lamp.

Did I say it was the same bottle????? allisu you are wicked, but we like you :glynis :glynis

Byeeee for now

Phil Morris

Evening again

How do you do that quote thing in highlited white, bit like loading up pictures - beyond me



Phil Morris

good Evening (yet again)

Maureen please "Mint tea is quite pleasant" Mint goes well with Lamb.

just finished the Veg stew, think I'll put a couple of Welsh Lamb chopes under the grill, I do have some Mint as well Ummmmmmmmmmmm.

byeeeeee for now

Phil Morris

Mint tea is excellent for soothing a jippy tummy, ideal if the food or drink is a bit too much! Although not as pleasant a tea made with fresh ginger is brilliant at stopping you from feeling sick. Apparently it works as well as pills for sea-sickness. I am planning on taking both with me.

How do you do that quote thing in highlited white,

To put something into quotes is easy. I just copy and paste the text, then highlight it and click Quote above the box where the post is typed. You post a link to a website in a similar way. Highlight the link and press URL.

Hi Melodians

Have been meaning to ask for a while now,did anyone request Reception, on the Premier Deck to post their cards ?

I believe it was Ayesha who suggested this service, being that 'your card' reaches home quickly!!!

Oh dear! No way, cos' in spite of the extra fee they chge my Friends / Family are still waiting for their postcards.

I recall that several years ago when travelling around Sorrento / Naples Region I posted many cards home and they took approx 6days.

Allisu was right.

Regards to all....Tony

Hi Myles,

So you have already booked your next cruise with Cunard

BUT...
1...... Can you be sure of bottles of wine appearing on the table every night.?
2..... Will you have a great waiter with the charisma of Nello?

3......The opportunity of secreting 'memorabilia' in that incredible suitcase of yours?

4......Or perhaps meeting someone someone who continually insists on referring to cruiseliners as 'boats'..No only joking about that one......which reminds me, Has anyone heard from Ian ( AtWales)?.

Cheers mate.
Tony

Allisu was right

I always am

I saw someone give Reception cards to post after we left Naples. The cards had Italian stamps and they said they would post them next time they were in Italy - presumably Genoa, at end of cruise.

I couldn't believe all the postcards posted Tuesday pm in Naples (just a small box in a wall - looked as if it wouldn't be emptied!) arrived Thurday am.

Would suggest you do this if you really want them to arrive before you do!

Isn't it quiet around here without Magsy? I hope she is having a great time. I'm looking forward to hearing all about it.

Hi Tony,
Surprised how your cards havent arrived yet, l posted a few at reception onboard at 1 euro each and they all arrived home, no stamps were on them, just the datestamp.
As for your other questions...well......
can l be sure of wine appearing at the table every night..... Yes l can !!! reliably informed l have a good table in the crew mess
Will l have a waiter with the chaisma of Nello? .....hmmm he will be a hard act to follow, but l know of a few who come a very close second
As for secreting "memorabilia" in my suitcase ...... joining from Southampton the luggage wont be problem so l can pack with gay abandon and might even have room for my black encrusted diamonte top
and with that memorable quote from the brochure "unlimited luggage" so lm sure l will manage a few souvenirs
As for meeting people that refer to ships as boats this is where it gets complicated not only is she a ship... but also the worlds best loved ocean liner, the fact that one of my cruises is for 3 weeks will lm sure give me time to sort these people out, though next year is a long time away.
cheers

I wish I had read the postings before I went to the clinic, Mike C as I would have studied the others more carefully!

I did not send any Post Cards - rarely do!

Does Wallican (Chris) still post? Only four weeks until the QE2 sails. I shall look forward to meeting you and your wife as I did not meet anyone else from HT. No free wine at table there but I usually get a free bottle of sparkling white in my cabin and share it with the table. Perhaps if we mention Myles .... you never know!

Maureen H.

Hello everyone, or should I say Bon Voyage,
In a few hours I will be trekking down to Stanstead for that flight tomorrow morning. Cant wait. Nearly packed but keep finding something else. Just a question, did anyone out there go with Ryanair and are they really particular about case weights. I have read on my ticket that you can only take 15 kg. What do they charge you if you are over. Also I notice they say in the brochure no irons allowed. Did anyone take one and kept it out the way.
Silly questions I know but these things matter to a woman.
Thanks for your replies a.s.a.p. I will be off shortly.
May B
