Thanks for the responses,

I am sailing with NCL around the islands next month. I was wondering whether 1. Can you just walk off the ship and find tours/tour agents on the piers? 2. If you can, is it safe? 3.Is this cheaper?

Hi single cruisers :D

There will be 4 of us late 40's early 50's on RC's Serenade of the Seas the week of Jan 21 2012 for a B2B. Any single men aboard??

I do not have any concrete update on Dad's physical condition and hospital visit beyond what he has written in the latest report. He still has lots of pain of that i am sure. Am hoping the medication will alleviate this and speed healing but we can all appreciate that at an advanced age healing is slower than for us Spring Chickens lol... Dad did get some good news:

I am very sorry for all of the confusion. Your email came in over the holiday weekend when my reservation center was closed. I get a copy as well on all inquires and I went ahead and answered myself because I knew you were on the island and needed a place very soon and did not want you to wait. Also, I have the authority to give out special rates on extended stays and I wanted to give that to you.Normally I send a copy to Gywneth at my reservation center when I do this, but I forgot. Gywneth does not have the authority to give out discounted rates on extended stays and I guess she was concerned about the second floor issue.I did read her email and I guess she was just doing her job., but it may have sounded a little brusque and I do apologize for that.

 

I emailed Xantal and told her to go ahead and give you the best rate since you were looking at an extended stay and we had the space. Giving you that rate was not any issue and I encouraged Xantal to give you a room that was best for you. You explained your circumstances and we are quite happy to help out. I am very much looking forward to meeting you when I arrive on the 30th.

 

Please accept my apologies. We are all looking forward to welcoming you at the Flamingo.

Also, congratulations on spending your son's inheritance!

 

Best Regards

Thank you very much, Tom. I like you.

 

¡Hasta pronto!

This is fantastic news!!!!! I am happy for Egon!! Now, if we can just get him healthy so he can continue on with his journey!!

I am sure he will e-mail me and let me know where he is going to stay while off the ship that week. At least I hope so. I asked him if his scooter has a side car so he can zip me around with him...lol. One thing I do know, he likes the dressing up part of cruising and I don't. So we'll see if I pack something for the "occasion" or not. I'm planning on taking my good Canon that I got for my birthday in August from my son and try to figure out how to work it on this cruise.

There is also another man who cruises all over the place who has an interesting website... . Check out his photography...absolutely fantastic. http://amazingvoyages.blogspot.com/

Thanks yellowbird23 for your updates of Egon's trip!!! I look on this site everyday to see if there is an update. I hope you enjoy yourself when you meet up with him in the new year. I am cruising on Royal Jewel of the Seas for an 11 night cruise and hoped that our paths, or ships, may cross...but my cruise is a day behind his in Grand Cayman (the only island that our trips have the same) So I will just have to follow your updates.:D

I also checked on the other website that you have listed here. You are sooo right the photography is wonderful. I now have 2 stories to follow!!

Hi Visual

Sorry to hear that you had a not so good time :( I don't know if you have every considered a cruise where there is a specific singles group. The ad on the top of this page is a great company for just doing that. You decide how much you want to be involved with the rest of the group. Just something to think about, because I hope you keep cruising :D

There are two of us (swf) on RC's Jewel Jan 24/11

Let me know
