Lisa-UK Posted March 20, 2008 #283 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Hi all Just checking on all new posts - great to see that everyone is getting excited. I have read that the launch party set for 26th April - and this may seem like a daft question and I may have missed the answer on another thread - but does anyone know when the IOS will actually be in Southampton? A few days before launch? I was planning to go down and have a look and take piccies - with my son. Thanks - getting very excited now...........

Elizanessie Posted March 21, 2008 Author #289 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Just a wee reminder for those going down to see the Independence on the 26th April, the band Scouting for Girls will be playing live on the ship at 5pm. Although there are no big screens you should still be able to hear them even if you are not on the ship :D There will be one cabin in each category open for viewing on all the Pre-Inaugural events.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlooneyb Posted March 22, 2008 #295 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Hi The first is to cruzobsessed *I have now become obsessed with the little video clip at the bottom of your postings with the penguins. Is that a real video of real penguins or from movie? Trivial, but now my husband and I both are trying to figure it out. He says not real, I think real. (it's Sat morn, this is ok to do, right?):) *2nd, I am booked on the 11/07 cruise on Independence and although I have asked this question in a couple different places and have gotten some response, I simply cannot make my mind up. We have booked 6710 which is an aft balcony. Some have said keep it, one posted pic's of what obstructions may look like. Any other feedback, please. This is our third crusie and 1st balcony. THANKS... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlooneyb Posted March 22, 2008 #297 Share Posted March 22, 2008 I just googled it and it says it is claymation. Man, it looks so real!!! Can anyone answer my other question about cabin?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bild Em Bigger Posted March 23, 2008 #298 Share Posted March 23, 2008 LOTS AND LOTS OF PICTURES PLEASE!!!!!:D LIke Liz said I would imagine lots of people will have taken pictures before we get on her. She is in Oslo the week before she is in Southampton so you should start to see people posting pictures from around 20th April. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
