David you made the butterflies in my tummy do sumersaults when I saw this thread..... after 500 days I can't believe that we are down to 15 ....

I can't believe this is OUR thread

Joanne

Your welcome joanne.

Its going to be a great cruise and I am sure there will be many from this board following your progress around the globe.

For those that dont know , here is the link to joannes blog

http://gaznjosworldcruise2011.blogspot.com/

She gives all sorts of great information about the cruise, plus links to everyone else who will be blogging.

Well done joanne.

Thought I would post this thread early so anyone else could come in and wish you Bon Voyage and also have the chance of chatting, before you set sail.

I shudder to think how much planning goes into being away on a cruise for 105 days.

Congratulations also everyone on the great Roll Call thread.

Yes, packetau, this is your World Cruise thread :D :)

David,

Thank you for organising this thread, it is great to see not only the ports of call but the total distance we will travel. Our excitment for our 2011 cruise trebled when you posted photos of the Dawn Princess traversing through the Panama Canal last year. We appreciated the links.

We met on the Diamond Princess last year and I thanked you then but it is nice to put it in writing. Cheers

Let me start a list here... others can add to this list...

David,

We met on the Diamond Princess last year and I thanked you then but it is nice to put it in writing. Cheers

I well remember your excitement then about the World Cruise, and here it is only 2 weeks away.

Have a really great time.

While you , and all on board will be doing it for real,

we cruise tragics back home, will be following in the

"virtual world".

YES INDEED, BON VOYAGE TO ALL ON BOARD, ABOVE ALL ENJOY !!!

We will be following the blogs !

Enjoy your world cruise, no need to really say that because we know it will be absolutely amazing.

but please look after Dawn Princess cos we get on when you get off in September. LOL

I'm with the others , this does make it all real. Joanne has kindly put my blog link in her post, ta for that. I'm only going half way around and haven't really cruised before but after reading these boards for the last year or so, I think I am addicted to cruising! I would so love to do the 2nd half of the trip, but that will be another dream ........so so excited!

Have a wonderful time everyone. (I'm getting too used to these virtual world cruises now - with Dawn Princess the last two years and Barry's over the Christmas season. Nice to escape to the blogs if we can't be actually there.)

Bon Voyage!

Jo-anne

You will have a great time on this cruise :) - what a list of ports!

I am a bit worried about the later part of it though - because I read today that Samoa is going to move the International dateline!!. That is going to upset all your clocks and watches - and you are not going to know whether it is today, yesterday or tomorrow! :p Oh, the problems faced by World Cruisers!! :)

oh barry I am more worried that the Egyptians can't stop arguing.... which will once again threaten our stop at port said!!

Wow. It only seems like a few weeks ago that we were all

following the last world cruise. It can't really be a year :confused: can it?

Hope that everyone on this cruise has an absolutely fab time.:D

BON VOYAGE to all those sailing this world cruise.

Have a wonderful time.

Have fun! :D

To Everyone on the 2011 World Cruise....

Adding my very best wishes for a safe , happy and amazing time. My goodness, Joanne, you've been waiting 500 days:eek:

Have a great cruise folks. We are on next years, so we will be following you all the way around. I am sure it will be the trip of a life time, have a fantatstic time

Cheers

Steve

Best wishes for safe and happy travels to all the 2011 world cruisers! I am looking forward to following the blogs and this thread. What a fab trip you will be having!!

Joanne I'm sure you're going to enjoy every minute of this wonderful world cruise. I can't believe how quickly a year has past since the last one.

Our neighbours are boarding Dawn Princess tomorrow, and when they disembark you will be arriving at the wharf and will see a big Welcome to the 2011 World Cruise sign as you check in....:)

They (our neighbours) did the 2010 World Cruise so know how excited you will be as your board the ship on the 25th.

They wish they could stay on a do it all over again..:)

BON VOYAGE, and we'll all be 'watching you'....:rolleyes:

Jilly:)

we are heading off down there again this morning as our friends return from the hawaii cruise.... trouble is a silly man decided to protest on the bridge.... making it traffic bedlem to get into the city...

You must be all be so excited, now that the departure date is near, as many of you have been planning your cruise for so long. What a wonderful adventure, you are going to have.

5 blogs to follow already - what a feast for the rest of us!

Thanks for the links, Joanne. It has been a delight to follow your planning and join in with your enthusiasm.

thankyou everyone... you all help to make this so much more exciting....

Next time she docks in Sydney it will be to pick us up

here she was today....
