On a side note I am also doing next year's T/A on the CB. I assume you are on the b2b roll call for next year's cruise. I welcome you to join the T/A only portion r/c. Send me an email (CB2016 link at the bottom of my signature) with your information and I'll send you an access invite to the spreadsheet. IF you can get it to me today, I can get the invite out. Otherwise, I'll send it when I get home.....:):):) Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your trip sounds wonderful. We sailed a similar itinerary in 2013, but missed Iceland, Belfast, and Greenland because of a "massive North Sea storm". I wish you better luck than we had. We sailed with you on the 2009 Ruby TA - our first TA, and a great cruise. I don't envy your long travel day to London! :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are doing the same itinerary next year (not exactly the same) also on the CB.....:):):) Bob Hi Bob, We are on Seabourn next year. We have been on a couple of cruises with them, not the cheapest but exceptionally good.

traveling1969 Posted August 31, 2015 #70 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Hey Bob, We cruised on the inaugural Royal T/A with you. Here's a couple of our favorite London pubs. The Albert at 52 Victoria St. and The Red Lion at 2 Duke of York St. These are near The Mall/ Buckingham palace/Westminster Abbey. The Albert is huge and welcoming while The Red Lion is small and cozy with lots of intricately etched glass and good pub fare. There are at least 3 Red Lion pubs in the area. If you google it, it is the one that says etched glass. Hope you have a great time in London and on your cruise. Bon Voyage! Harry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marjack Posted August 31, 2015 #71 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Dear Bob, Wishing you and your DW a wonderful cruise. We will be joining you next year on the same cruise (you have us included in your wonderful spreadsheet for M&G and other festivities). Next year, we also plan on going in about a week early to have fun in London. We have been there before and love the city. If you are a fan of theatre, you will be in heaven going to the West End and enjoying all it has to offer. I am sure you have done your "homework" and have many fun things planned. I would say our two favorite sights were Westminster Abbey and The Tower of London (you've got to see those jewels!!). A nice day trip is taking the train to Greenwich. Again, have a wonderful time. I know we all look forward to hearing about your adventures and seeing your marvelous pictures. Safe travels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on this cruise with Bob and Holli, and very interested to hear you mention the day trip to Greenwich. We are thinking of doing that this week. Thanks for the recommendation:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Woobstr112G Posted September 1, 2015 Author #73 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Hi Bob Any reason you are doing the cruise next year. yours Shogun Hi Shogun. The itinerary isn't exactly the same. They took out St. Jons and Halifax on the back end and added Boston before the Big Apple. On the front end, they added Flaam and Rotterdam. Added bonus is the whole itinerary is a day longer than this year's cruise. Biggest reason though is I wanted to treat Holli to the Grand Suite. To do that, I had to book it while I was still working and able to work overtime to pay for it. When I retire (maybe 2017) there won't be anymore overtime and we'll have to change the way we cruise.....:):):) Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
