MisterMom Posted October 2, 2016 #226 Share Posted October 2, 2016 And we are back....... Hi everyone..... 3 week countdown..... YaaaaayI'm guessing we are still the only females in the group..... Oh well, it will be fun either way. We were touch and go about whether we would have to cancel, due to some medical issues, but fingers crossed, we are good to go..... It seems quite quiet on here, given that we are just 3 weeks out now, I guess, some people have had to cancel? I also noticed that the main roll call is onto thread 4 now and they are hoping to get to thread 5, looking like a busy sailing. Hopefully we will get to meet some of you onboard Karen Sent from my iPad using Forums Hi Karen: Welcome back! Yes, this group is somewhat quiet. I guess we're saving up our energy for the cruise! Looking forward to meeting y'all as well. Dan and Derrell (the Double D's) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzPinoyCruiser Posted October 2, 2016 #227 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Welcome back Karen! Maybe some are already on holiday mode... we are leaving in 13 days to Madrid. Any suggestions for our first meeting? As to location and time? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe and I prefer an early time to a late one (like after dinner). Location? Any venue that doesn't have entertainment. Thanks so much for asking!

Guys please suggest for at least the first meeting that we can all go together then we plan our next meeting moving forward onboard. Maybe first meeting right after sailaway party? Just to say hi hello and get to know each other's faces then we decide when is the next meeting etc? Suggestions are much appreciated.

Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk We are hoping the CD staff is watching this. They have begun to schedule the LGBT gatherings and publishing them in the compass, which they didn't do until last year. When they did it was 11pm in a bar with a folk singer and a loud amp. Not the best for conversation. Some "family" approached the CD who changed it to after dinner at "Vintages"(wine bar). Of course the bulletin board is "free for the public" to post anything we want. The Compass should be in our Rooms when we arrive . Let's see what the staff decides to do and decide how to respond. Joe and I will be at the "Solarium" sail away. After muster drill.

Mitchie872 Posted October 3, 2016 #231 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Yeah, would love to meet up with everyone early in the cruise, so I can see a familiar face throughout the cruise. After sail away would be great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oskar95 Posted October 4, 2016 #232 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Hi guys, we passed the 20 day mark!! I agree, after sail away would be the better choice. I would also prefer a more quiet location with no loud entertainement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D&J When we were on Oasis, it was advertised in the Cruise Compass and was held in Vintages after dinner.... This was a nice venue as it wasn't too busy and people were able to chat. Conversely, on Allure there was no mention in the cruise compass and we didn't see any other family .... Apart from the large 'bear' contingent that were onboard and organised their own events. Is the Solarium sail away, being organised by the main roll call, rather than just the two of you hanging out there? If there is nothing in Cruise Compass, the bulletin board beside guest services is a good place to pop a note just stating time and place.

Sent from my iPhone using Forums I was wondering this too. I wasn't sure aboout the large group from the main roll call and a little leary, but it's a big space and would be a nice place for a quick meet up at sail away. Dale and I are planning on it. we're almost there!...Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPA2005 Posted October 7, 2016 #236 Share Posted October 7, 2016 You can order shirt from there but us coming from Sydney decided to print it on our own through vista print... hope that helps!!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Yes it did.

T-Boy67 Posted October 7, 2016 #245 Share Posted October 7, 2016 2 Weeks to go, so I thought I would say hello. Chances are we've cruised with some of you before. Tom and I (Toby) are from Manchester, England and will be travelling with another LGBT Couple from San Diego and one of them straight couples you hear about from Sparks, Nevada. Look forward to saying hello on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
