parislady40 Posted July 29, 2006 #1 Share Posted July 29, 2006 We are not one of the largest, but definitely one of the most enthusiastic boards. We all look forward to our cruises with such anticipation!!! Lets start a when are you sailing post. For us, it does not matter which year, just the fact that we are sailing. Even if you have not booked, tell everyone when you want to go. Our ships may be small by choice, but our numbers are not. DH and I are sailing the 17th Sept to 8th Oct, from Lisbon to Nice, back to back to back. When are you sailing???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welshapple Posted July 30, 2006 #12 Share Posted July 30, 2006 We will get into the 'spirit' of things here! The Wind Spirit that is. Transatlantic, November 18th, 2006, Lisbon to St. Thomas. It will be our first crossing on the Wind Spirit, but our third on small ships and our tenth crossing all told, including one freighter. Being under sail (at least part of the time) will definitely be a first. We're looking forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will certainly make sure the ship is ready for you, but I'm afraid :rolleyes: I can't make any promises as far as leaving much wine behind! We have been buying some Spanish Wines lately and so far have found some winners. Saturday in Barcelona will be wine shopping day. Shirley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

golfergal Posted August 1, 2006 #20 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Thanks Shirley! We are planning to stock up in Lisbon as we love Portuguese wines and then pick up Spanish wines along the way (we love them too). Unfortunately, we will not have much time to shop for wines in Barcelona before catching our flight home on Monday. But we will squeeze it in, unless, of course, we drink too much wine on Sunday and need to sleep in rather than shop Monday morning. Either way, we will certainly be enjoying our wine. We were disappointed with the wine selections on board last year, so we will be better prepared this year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfergal Posted August 1, 2006 #21 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Parislady - We will definitely be on the lookout for the 4 people with the biggest smiles at the Compass Rose! We sailed last year with my parents; this year it is just the two of us so we will be smiling too! Sheila and Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
"Wandering Wino's&quo Posted August 1, 2006 #22 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Still figuring out what to do at most of the ports, although we do at least have our plans set for Lisbon and Barcelona. Can't wait!!! Like you, we are not sure what to do at the ports except Barcelona and possibly Lisbon. Here are some notes that I have made so far: :cool: Ibiza - is one of Europe's favorite beaches and a party island. A favorite thing on Ibiza is to sit at one of the Sunset bars in San Antonio, the sun sits around 9. The Cafe del Mar is a great place to listen to the Ambient music along with 100's of others as the sun sets. ( We thought this could be fun after having dinner on the ship). :cool: Palma de Mallorca - Again this looks like a great place to visit the beach and relatively easy by taking the local bus from the port into town. It also appears that there are palaces from the Rennaissance or Middle Ages to see. :confused: Marbella - :confused: Tangier's - This is a place I'm not too sure about. Some people have said not to even get off the ship and others seem to have enjoyed the city. We are still doing research. :) Barcelona - A beautiful city. One thing that I have read over and over again is to be very careful regarding pick pockets while you are in Barcelona. As you can see we still need a lot more information, if you have any ideas we would love to hear from you. Shirley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WonderArn Posted August 1, 2006 #23 Share Posted August 1, 2006 We'll be taking our first Windstar as a Greek Isles cruise out of Rome on Wind Star next May. The boards have been very interesting to read for this line. We are very excited about this particular trip! --Arnie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
