Good lad!

I think the daily will say 1900hrs in the Sugarcane. It might say 2000, but either way we'll be there at 1900 because we have a show booked at 2045!

So... 1900!!

Looking forward to meeting you all :D

Sam.

Do it, eroller! Hope to see you on board!!

I'm sure I am guilty of it as well at times, but I think when it comes to our own personal behavior and how we think one thing, but seeing it from someone else's perspective gives a different image/message to those people.

 

You seem very reasonnable and if we are ever on the same ship, please say hello. ;)

I try to be reasonable :) I'm on the Getaway on Saturday and the Epic on 29Nov.

Again, fantastic response... Very insightful and informative. You're so right... I've been guilty of being 'cliquey' in a FOD. Once my husband and I hit it off with a small group we all stand/sit in a little circle which must look hard to join. In-jokes quickly develop, and before you know it we're a clique, as you said. I'd never really seen that situation from outside before: must try to be more inclusive!

Only one week to go, now :D

We've just had our cabin assigned. 8714. Pretty pleased with it - it's what we paid for but with a much larger balcony :)

Is anyone staying in Miami the night(s) before the cruise? We're in South Beach from Wednesday because we're flying out from UK and we want a buffer between our flight and cruise in case we miss it! I hope the weather will be nice.

Sam.

Thanks yyjguy, some very interesting and well made points there. I've never considered that there might be someone who would want to hang out with me, for whom that wish was not reciprocated!

I'm just always so stoked and excited to meet new people, it never occurred to me that... Wait... Oh no! Am I the guy that everyone avoids?! Haha.

Thanks for replying. I guess next time I start a Roll Call I should try to ask an interesting question :)

Might be tricky, I'm not a very interesting person ;)

Those of you that 'lurk' in your G&L roll calls, but do not post: What are your reasons?

Hm, I am spamming your thread but be aware the list is ship/class specific. I pasted randomly a Dawn list. Epic and the Away class ships have Studio's, certain Spa staterooms and more Haven suites.

 

This is Getaway's:

This list is really helpful. Does anyone know where I could find a version that's in cabin order? So (I'm guessing) Haven at the top and Inside at the bottom?

That video is brilliant. Thank you so much!

It must be a nightmare getting the time right. For me, either before or after dinner and shows is the only viable time... So 1700-1900 or after 2200. Or both.

Yeah! Both!

Thanks for replying :) I appreciate it.

That's a shame, but I can see why. I wonder if I can find a workaround though... Anyone with any experience of this please?

Hi,

does anyone know what cables are plugged into the TV's in cabins on Getaway please? I'm wondering if there's an HDMI port back there I can use...

Thanks,

Sam.

In two weeks we'll be waking up on the ship!!

What is everyone most excited about? For me it's the Illusionarium, the shows, our excursions, and the getting to lie out in the sun!! Oh and the FOD meeting!

What are you most looking forward to?

Sam.

Hi,

I was wondering if there's a locker-room and showers available to users of the gym on Getaway, or is it only available to spa users, and therefore for a fee?

If anyone knows, I'd be grateful for your response.

Sam.

For those who have changed the time of the meetings pre-cruise, who did you contact? Thanks, Sam.

BearWatch and lwalk (and anyone else lurking but not posting...)

What would everyone's preferred time for a meet and greet? Obviously I'm drawn to 1900 so I can meet you all before going to the Illusionarium (Who couldn't change my reservation.)

So, let's have a poll: What's the best time for everyone?

1700

1800

1900 (My preference!)

2000

2100

I'll get in touch with the Assistant Cruise Director, Adam, to let him know our best time.

Thanks everyone.

Sam.

We've just paid our deposits on this cruise, with five hours to go before 2015! (UK time!)

I'm looking forward to getting to know you all.

So... who else is on this?

Thanks, Cesar.

How was it? Was the weather nice? And the food? And is the gym any good?

Was there a FOD meeting each day, or just the first?

Sorry for all the questions, I'm just too excited!

I've just found out that we probably wont be at the first FOD meeting because it conflicts with our reservation at the Illusionarium. I'll try and change that as soon as we're on-board! In any case, we'll try to be at the second one - I'm looking forward to meeting you all!

I'm so excited about this trip, can't stop looking forward to it. Just doing my damndest to burn up some calories to make way for all the food and booze I'm going to gorge upon!

So how is everyone else preparing? Are you packed yet? Anyone else going nuts on a pre-holiday diet?!

We're flying to to Miami on the 14th, gonna spend a few days on the beach (And in Pulse! ;) before we board! What's everyone elses plans pre-cruise?

And... has anyone else downloaded iConcierge? Looks like it's going to be a really useful way to communicate with partners etc onboard.

See you all soon!!

Sam.

I'm so glad there'll be others at our FOD meeting :) I can't wait to meet you all! Anyone got excursions planned?

Very pleased that we've found someone else who's on this! This has re-excited me for the cruise! Have you booked excursions? We've got one most port days, and we've also got UDP and UBP. We're flying out to Miami a few days early to get the tans going, so I'm really looking forward to this trip. We're Sam and Dom.

If you're not already booked on this... could you, please?

This cruise needs more gays.

Thanks.

You need to use the Roll Call.

I'm on this for my honeymoon. Anyone else?
