RR, do you mind putting the link of my blog post onto Facebook please? I know that usually when I post anything regarding IE I seem to get a lot of traffic from the Facebook group. I'm guessing someone must post the link up. :D

Looking good for Winter 14 sailings -

 

The Island Escape still belongs to TUI Travel and should anything change, we’d look to contact all affected passengers as soon as possible. Our summer 2014 programme is on sale, and our winter 2014 goes on sale soon as the ship remains popular with our customers. ^Adam

Oh that's good to hear....thanks for posting :) I thought I heard she had been sold ? She is a popular ship and does some good itineraries....we have done two very good cruises on her and hope to go again.

Just to let you all know, Fraser Ellacott, Thomson and Island Cruises managing director is doing a Q&A on here on Wednesday 20 November. Questions can be added now in the following forum:

Maybe if someone could pass the word onto Facebook as I know that there is a large community on there now who I'm sure would be interested in asking some questions to the main man at the top. :)

Memory is ok now, just received a 64GB micro sd disk to fit my Meenova Mini usb reader for the Nexus 7 thank you :p

[Stevio]

Meenova Mini...... Nexus 7.... Sounds like new fangled gimmickry to me.

I have a good old fashioned big brute of a PC to view my Cruise Critic on.

Probably why I am still having trouble posting on here, my browsers keep re asking for me to sign in.... I have to creep up on it with Firefox.

...... Did I mention that my Mrs has got a little 7" nook... But won't let me use it :o

[Rebel Rouser]

Using my nexus 7 whilst typing on here, Google Meenova it might help the memory of the nook 🚀 ;) Its the size of a 10p piece and is 64gb

 

Will be able to store all my films to watch while waiting about at airports :D

[jenny wren]

64gb that's huge RR!!

Not going down that road Of smut :eek:

 

The 64gb chip is no bigger than 5mm square :cool:

[jenny wren]

I did wonder why you needed that much space when we're quite happy with 8 or 16GB...thought you must be taking alot of photos!!
