I'll be joining you guys from Duncan SC, and hope it is a fantastic cruise. I will be traveling solo, looking forward to all the new friends that I will meet.

Super cute video from last years transatlantic cruise.

[diknjoe]

Thanks for posting Vjoe. Hope we have (at least) as much fun.

 

We're advised that there will be a "Silverdaddies" group on board.

 

Welcome y'all! Don't be shy. Maybe we can join forces for some fun on board. (FOD, LGBT Meet and Greet , etc.) Stop in and say "hello"!

We ( Doug and Kevin -Hot Dog) and Dick and Joe have been having a discussion offline; about linking our dinner reservations. Congenial dinner companions add a lot to enjoying a cruise, and sure beat the alternative.

 

If you would like to join us, please send an e-mail to diknjoe@tampabay.rr.com if you're interested.

 

Thanks

Vjoe the video was superb!! Don't think there is a way it could be topped this year. I'm glad we are making the crossing this fall-next year Royal is cutting back on port calls. We will probably pick up a car in one or more of the ports to do our own tour. Anyone interested in sharing? Doug

[Vjoe]

I had to cancel, am changing jobs and the time off for the cruise is inconvienent with my new plans. Would love to go, hope you all have fun!!!

Hey Hey Hey Hey!!!

 

I booked this cruise Monday. I have been reading through the RCCL 10/27/12 thread. Onlyup to page 78 of 177. Still a ways to go to get current. I decided to cheat and cum here to see who was worth talking to.

My name is Randy. I live in Kansas City, MO. I was on last falls Navigator of the Seas Transatlantic.

I met Doug ( of Doug & Kevin ) & Bob on that cruise. I will be roomines with Bob on this cruise.

 

I think Doug is getting all of us connected to eat dinner together.

 

Give me some time and I will get some activities planned for different ports and see who wants to join in. Suggestions would be appeciated.

 

Anyone else speding a few days in Barcelona before the cruise? We need to get together and go out while we are there.

Got to get ready for work.

 

Later

[diknjoe]

Randy:

 

Welcome aboard! I'm Dick and Joe ( the handsome asian dude) is my partner.

 

I'm gathering data for the dinner arrangements. As I understand the process, we all need to contact our respective travel agents (etc) to make this happen. If you like, send me your name (s) booking number and room number, if you have it, along with your e-mail address . and I'll get them out to everyone at the appropriate time.

 

Thanks

Can we have a translation of the Latin, please?

I'm counting on KCRandy to read through all the regular CruiseCritic messages-I have been so lax in all of this. He can update us on the important things. For everyone who hasn't read through the 3500+ posts, Barb has organized tours from Cadiz to Seville and from Malaga to Granada and the Alhambra. Spain Day Tours gives CruiseCritics some tremendous discounts on their tours. Additionally there are lots of activities for the CruiseCritic group such as a cabin crawl, meet & mingle, martini tasting, poker run, slot pull and recently added cruising for dummies seminar. Be sure to check the other side of the CruiseCritic Roll Call if you haven't done so, and sign up for the Meet and Mingle. It's fun, and a great way to make new friends on the cruise and scope out people to meet. Plus you have the chance to win fabulous prizes! Doug

It is the motto of Chuckles the Clown on the MTM Show:

 

a little song, a little dance,

a little selzer down your pants.

Latin always makes things look so profound! LMAO!

I'll be joining the cruise following a cruise on the Serenade, I am from Boise and Palm Springs and will be traveling alone. Bs83703@yahoo.com

Kinda quiet here.

 

I have been in communication with 5 of you on the ship already.

 

I am gathering information so we can see who will be on the ship and an easy reference to communicate with one another should we choose to do so prior to the cruise.

 

We can see who will be dining at what times ( this makes it easier to go to shows together etc ).

 

We can share information on what excursions or interests we have at the ports. Organize shore excursions if there is the interest.

 

We can easily share information & ideas. Any "must see's" or "don't waste your time" from previous travelers is always helpful. Hopefully I can get some activites planned on the ship as well.

 

Just throwing out some ideas:

casino

ping pong

shuffleboard

play cards

work out

flowRider

rock-climbing wall

ice-skate

play mini golf

meet & hang out at the pool

have cocktails

stargaze.

 

Please email me at happyrock8 @ hotmail dot com. ( Delete the spaces and replace dot with . ) Just email me to say hi. If you do not want your email address shared, please let me know. I can always blind copy in emails.

 

 

Thanks,

Randy

Hi All, booked this cruise today, will also be travelling alone, hope to join you's for dinner if its not to late, have a tentative booking for late sitting but understand this can be changed, can you book shore excursions once onboard or do they have to be prebooked? Looking forward to meeting you all, Mick

[diknjoe]

Hello Mick:

 

I think the first thing you need to do is change your reservation to early dining. Otherwise if we link with you , we might all end up messed up.

 

I responded to your e-mail with the rest of the steps needed to get this done.

 

Thanks

Hi Mick, this is Ron from the QM2 in May (Ron, Ray, Rich) hope you have a good time and it was nice meeting you. I'm hooked, I'll be taking the QM2 again on Dec 15th from London, but not with a group this time.

 

Cheers,

Ron.

[091971Cruiser]

If anyone is interested we would be up for forming a table for late seating.

[honda62]

Hi Ron, good to hear from you, Qm2 again, lucky bugger, sent you an email. Dick i linked the reservation numbers and looks like it went through so hopefully will be joining yous at early seating. Hi to everyone else, looking forward to meeting you all, Randy the activites you've mentioned all sound good especially the "have cocktails" see you,s onboard

[honda62]

Another question, has anyone cruised from Barcelona before? I will be arriving on the morning of cruise and wondering how far the cruise terminal is from the airport, doesnt look that far on the map ( lol famous last words :o ) would it be easy just to get a taxi or book a transfer before i leave home, any advice would be appreciated. Thanks Mick

Mick:

 

You may be linked to us; but from my understanding of the process: each of us has to link to you as well, or it won't work. It's a total pain , but if you will answer my e-mail we can get it done. If you like, I can re-send my e-mail.

 

Now to your previous questions.

1. You can sign up for excursions on board, (Explorations Deck 5 aft).

2. The airport is about half an hour from the port. We purchased a transfer from Royal, but there are plenty of taxi's available.
