Arcadia J714

Hi any one cruising 22 june 2007 ;)

Hi

My next door neighbour is going on this cruise, but she doesn't have a computer so she can't reply to you! Her name is Mary, and she's taking her 87 year old mum as a special treat. She's feeling a bit nervous as it's her first time! They are both really looking forward to it though.

Libralass is also going on this one, no doubt she'll be replying when she sees your post!

Yes I am, and hubby:D

 

Holding a cruise chat meet up in Crows Nest at noon on first day at sea - Saturday, you would be very welcome from the cruise critic board !!

Others will be from Cruise connections the pando board, and 'welovecruising.co.uk board. Only a sprinkling so far,

 

Haven't found many on this one yet !

 

I was a bit miffed to see £250pp obc being offered for balcony cabins with 2nd sitting still available a few months ago. We booked a balcony a year ago and got none. But I complained and got £200 lol

 

My photos of last cruise on Arcadia can be found on:

www.sveale.photosite.com so you will recgonise us in the Crows Nest.

 

Have already booked my 2008 cruise on Arcadia to Venice on 5th May. We love her,

 

keep in touch

Sue:)

Many thanks for your reply. We would love to meet up at the Crows Nest on the Sat lunchtime.

 

As we mentioned we are new to cruising so we look meeting people with previous 'experience'.

 

See you in 5 weeks and counting.........

 

Regards

Steven & Betty

Helllooooo…..I've only just stumbled across this site and seen the messages about cruise J714!! We're going on that cruise too, me and my husband to be that is, and 11 of our family and friends!! Can't wait as we're actually getting married on the second day at sea!!! I'm soo excited I could burst!!!! If we don't see you all at the Crows Nest on the Saturday (as I'm meant to be getting my pre wedding hair trial done sometime around lunch!!!), I'm sure you'll spot us…well on the Sunday anyway :) …we may stand out a little especially as we're planning on staying dressed up in out wedding outfits all day !!!

 

It’s not long now…..4 weeks and 5 days!!!!!!!!!! Hoorah!!!:)
