tawcat Posted June 16, 2004 #1 Share Posted June 16, 2004 We did it, booked for the April 14th sailing. Thanks to everyone that gave me input, it helped a great deal in choosing this cruise. Looking forward to experiencing sailing with Celebrity. Hope to see a few of you aboard.

Randyk47 Posted June 16, 2004 #3 Share Posted June 16, 2004 That's fantastic Tawcat! Wish you were with us on the 21 March sailing 'cause we're going to have a heck of a group. We'll try not to use up all the fun. Until Galaxy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tawcat Posted June 17, 2004 Author #4 Share Posted June 17, 2004 Char - actually ended up booking an inside. The cruise is pretty well sold out and there were not many choices left. told the bride and she is ecstatic, said she didn't care what kind of cabin it was. so i guess i did good. randyyk47 - yep wish we wrer aboard then too, but our schedules dictated when we could go. this sailing works well as my wife will be celebrating her b'day at sea!

Randyk47 Posted June 17, 2004 #9 Share Posted June 17, 2004 Yep....I told Lou we need to start to plan our next cruise. DW saw me typing that....very cold stare and icy feeling in the room. However, she is interested in the shore tours for March and was reading the info out of the Celebrity brochure to me last night so not all is lost.

excitedofharpenden Posted June 17, 2004 #10 Share Posted June 17, 2004 You are all too organised This is the earliest we have ever booked a cruise. There's nothing for me like a bit of pressure to focus the mind Having said that, it is only the excursions we need to worry about now and we are actively talking about those on our Roll Call thread. Say......I think I'll have that cigar!

tawcat Posted June 17, 2004 Author #15 Share Posted June 17, 2004 have to agree randy, the canal is one thing everyone should see in their lifetime. i've been trough it from both sides, different circumstance however, i was dressed in green, carried weapons, and were after a guy by the name of noriega. this time it'll be neat to be sitting in a deck chair with a beer enjoying the sights.

marc and jan Posted June 18, 2004 #20 Share Posted June 18, 2004 There was no doubt in my mind, as soon as I saw you were even baiting her hook, that she was something special to you. What a lucky woman, all husbands should be so attentive. Kudos to you for giving the little woman the birthday of a lifetime.

marc and jan Posted June 18, 2004 #22 Share Posted June 18, 2004 That’s what happened to us, we became spoiled real fast. You can’t beat the service onboard, and my husband swears by the food. But it seems you’ve been on different cruiselines to compare it to than us, we’ve only haven Carnival once and RCCL once. The other 6 cruises have all been on Celebrity. You’ll have a great time!
