Live 18/5/2019 Indy's back in Europe

[kernow]

Boarding opened at 10.45 and we were straight on

Thought we had made a mistake and boarded a Celebrity ship when we saw they were giving out free sparkling wine!

We are on Indy on June 29th and cannot wait. We have been on before two years ago and loved it.

Would it be possible for someone to let me know who the Cruise Director is this year? 

Any your cruise everyone, look forward to your reviews

Today's  Compass

[mrsroller180]

Hi kernow were you attaching a copy of todays compass?

[kernow]

It looks like the cruise director is Jamie Fentiman. There was a bit of confusion before the cruise as apparently Jamie was taken ill on the TA and it was said he was leaving today but according to the info he is still on. I'll  let you know if it's any different.

Jamie will still be on board for a couple of days handing over to the new CD who is covering and will leave the ship in Hamburg.

Yes I see it now thank you so much. I was really hoping it would be Joff eaton as he is brilliant. Im sure they are all good. Thanks everyone.

Thank you. Will post about the new CD when we have seen them.

Cabins opened at around 1.15.

Details of C&A amenities, there are 603 D and up on board.

[kernow]

I think someone made a mistake with this one, it says to return by day 9 but we are only doing a 7 night cruise

Perhaps there is something they haven't told us😁

[kernow]

Just been to Izumi and asked if we could use the D+ BOGO for the Hibachi and the answer is no, only Chops or Giovannis. She did offer 20% off tonight making it $36 but we declined.

 

I've just seen a flyer and the deluxe beverage package is $78  with a buy one get one half price offer.

Please let us know if they are using the VCR lounge as a DL overflow tonight.

Thanks 

Graham.

Good morning from somewhere in the very foggy North sea. Think we'll be staying inside today as it's chilly on deck.

To update from yesterday, VCL is open as an extension of the diamond lounge, we went up around 7 and it was busy but there were plenty of open seats. We even managed to get a window seat in the lounge itself.

 

Last night's dinner menu. I had the fishcake, salmon and trifle and all were good. Sorry I forgot pics.

[kernow]

The cruise director is a young English guy called Mark Rous. We haven't seen him in person yet but watched the morning show and he seems pleasant.

 

We're off to the meet and mingle shortly, there were over 80 signed up so should be busy.

[sherrjo]

Enjoy we did Indy summer 2017 and summer 2018 going on Explorer next Friday 🙂 can't wait.

Today's Compass

I assume someone was having trouble with the Fahrenheit to Celsius conversion on that first cruise compass.  82F would be 28C, but 12F would be darn cold.

 

Following along.  A couple of our friends did the TA, and stayed on for this cruise.  We are flying over in July to do the 14 day Italian Mediterranean Cruise.

Was the DL full and did they use an overflow last night,?

Thanks

Yes, they had the door open and were using VCL, they were checking Seapasses at the entrance. We were able to get seats at 7pm.
