  1. You have no idea what could have happened in a ship cabin or hotel room prior to your stay, so why would it matter. You might not even know what had happened in your house prior to you buying it.

    A customer of a travel agent that I know asked if he could get a discount on that cabin. He was serious.

  2. Ii agree that the Emerald is great! I' date=' too, was on the Emerald's Trans-Atlantic cruise.

     

    The buffet and the entertainment were wonderful. The Captain was fantastic!

     

    Enjoy:)[/quote']

     

    I was also on the Transatlantic and agree about everything. The Captain was fun!

  3. We are staying at the Hilton Diagonal Mar......a bit out of the way I know but I was able to get the room free for 2 nights with my HHonors points, so I am not arguing :)

     

    My friend and I are also staying there. I have stayed there once before. There is a nice Mall across the street , and many restaurants. There is also a supermarket in the Mall that sells wine. We are staying 1 night with my Hilton honors ,as we are coming off a tour of Ireland, so flying in that morning from Dublin. I am on your sailing.

  4. can anyone please tell me what the difference is on the emerald princess between the owners suite and penthouse suite

     

    The Difference is the Penthouse House suite is Midship and 533 sq ft.

    The OS is aft and 687sq ft.

    These are for the Emerald Princess.

  5. Hi Ross - apologies for the delay - moved house - again!

     

    I haven't heard back from the other Silvia born on the GG who is also living in Australia, but maybe one day she'll return to this site and see my message. I wonder if she still has her original birth certificate too? I did some research and found that if ever I lost my original birth certificate, I could never get a replacement. I am not registered anywhere, and the official Ship records have been destroyed.

     

    The GG was the SS Meridien when you sailed on her in 1984. It's good to see you have great memories of this beautiful ship and it's nice to speak with someone who sailed on her. I have a lovely letter from Mr Kapetenakos who owned Chandris Cruises welcoming me aboard "at any time". I went to the US in 1995 and 1996 but didn't see the ship. She then changed ownership again and became the Sun Vista, and soon afterwards she sank in the Malacca Strait :-(((. It's funny how she sank on my wedding anniversary (20 May), because my marriage sank too!

     

    See above - Doug Newman's link takes you to http://www.maritimematters.com/sun-vista.html[/url]. The first b/w postcard was the official postcard from the ship back in the 1960s - I still have an original one in my "sentimental box". Thanks Doug.

     

    For anyone who was born on, or has sailed on the Galileo Galileo, please email me on: silnat@bigpond.com

     

    Happy sailing!

    I sailed on her as the Meridian, in July 1995. It was my first cruise. It was sailing Rt NY-Bermuda. I kept some of the cruise program from the ship.

    This site(a friend's) has a picture of the ship.
