JimandStan Posted December 29, 2005 #1 Share Posted December 29, 2005 A group of us, are meeting for dinner and cocktails at The View Restaurant on the 47th floor of the Marriott Marquis on Tuesday, February 21st, at 8:00 P.M. Noordam sails on her maiden voyage, the next morning, and, as this "revolving rooftop restaurant" has magnificent views of the NYC Ocean Liner Terminal, we'll be toasting the ship. If anyone is interested in joining us, leave a message on this board, or email me at fixeruppers@optonline.net We will also be meeting for pre dinner drinks at "The View Lounge" (also on the 47th floor of the Marriott) any time after 7:00 P.M. The Marriott is at 1535 Broadway, if you need to know how to get there from wherever, use www.mapquest.com.....it's a great resource! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted December 29, 2005 #2 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Although we will not be on the Noordam, I do love your information about the Marriott. It has been years since we have been in New York. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkacruiser Posted December 29, 2005 #3 Share Posted December 29, 2005 I have stayed at the Marriott Marquis and have dined at The View. It is a delightful restaurant and lounge! When I was there, in 2004, a prix fixe menu was available that offered very good choices for a reasonable price. Have a wonderful Maiden Voyage!

HeatherInFlorida Posted December 29, 2005 #4 Share Posted December 29, 2005 I am so jealous ... I want to come:( ! There are going to be so many wonderful CCers on this cruise that I think I'm going to just bury my head in the sand and wait 'til it's over. And I miss NYC, too ... my home for 20 years. So I'll say a little toast to all of you as you toast the Noordam that night. Have an absolutely fabulous, wonderful time everyone of you!!!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevNeal Posted December 30, 2005 #5 Share Posted December 30, 2005 Heather -- and others -- there ARE vacant cabins remaining aboard the Noordam for this cruise. Yes, it's over-priced ... but there are only just so many "Maiden Voyages." So ... don't burry your head in the sand ... "book it" and come JOIN US! <sigh> Yes ... I know ... money may be made out of trees, but it doesn't grow on trees and we don't own them either. I UNDERSTAND the frustration over not having time or resources to make this cruise. I had to finagle things in order set aside sufficient time and resources to do it myself ... and that wasn't easy. :) However ... you don't HAVE to moan and groan about it ... you CAN join us, if you wish. All it costs is time and money ... two commodities that, yes indeed, are hard to come by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimandStan Posted December 30, 2005 Author #6 Share Posted December 30, 2005 Right on, Rev! And Remember, even if you can't join us on the cruise, you can join us for the Bon Voyage Dinner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeatherInFlorida Posted December 30, 2005 #8 Share Posted December 30, 2005 Ah, gee, thanks for the invite!!! How I would love to. But unfortunately the timing is just wrong (not to mention the cost). But I will raise my glass high to all of you, I promise. I wish you a wonderful Bon Voyage:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimandStan Posted December 31, 2005 Author #9 Share Posted December 31, 2005 We will miss you, Heather, our party could use some Va Va Voom! Gee Wiz, you toasting us there while we toast in NYC, I think I saw that in a Joan Crawford movie, once...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kryos Posted December 31, 2005 #10 Share Posted December 31, 2005 I am so jealous ... I want to come:( ! Don't feel bad, Heather ... so do I. :( If only this wasn't so soon after my return from the Amsterdam, I would actually get on a train and go up there for a night. But, sadly, even though the 21st falls on my night off, the budget is gonna be really tight ... too tight for a night in New York City that soon after a 30-day cruise. Oh, well ... hopefully someone will post about the good times had ... then we can all at least share in them vicariously.

JimandStan Posted January 1, 2006 Author #11 Share Posted January 1, 2006 Rita- I actually felt bad for you, until I reread upir post and realized that you are just returning from a thirty day cruise! Hope you enjoyed every minute of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeatherInFlorida Posted January 1, 2006 #12 Share Posted January 1, 2006 JimandStan, I've been pondering Va Va Voom ever since yesterday;) . Of course I'm seeing this as a good thing which says a lot. Anyway, wish I could be there but sadly you guys will have to be without this particularly "Va Va Voom" girl. I'm sure there will be someone else with plenty!!!!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mechcc Posted January 4, 2006 #23 Share Posted January 4, 2006 I need to win the lottery. I really need to win the lottery. I really really need to win the lottery. I really really need to win the lottery NOW! Have always wanted to join all on this cruise, but alas, will have to toast you from home and plan on taking the next maiden voyage of a HAL ship. Looking forward to all of your reviews. May you be blessed with smooth seas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really really need to win the lottery NOW! Have you bought a ticket? ;) God can work many miracles ... but you've got to do your part, you know. Just remember ... gambling calls forth a double-tithe -- 10% because everything belongs to God, and 10% as a sin offering. :) After all ... the priest has gotta cruise too. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell you what, if I win prior to this cruise, I will pay the 10% to God and reimburse you for your cruise as my sin offering. Does that work?;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
