Anyone else aboard?

Hi Guys

 

My partner and myself will be on the Serenade of the Seas - September 19, 2009 cruise. we are from Atlanta Ga.

[apollobeach]

Hi Guys.....good to have you with us!!!!!

 

There is a Serenade of the Seas thread under the Roll Call section for our cruise in September - it's labeled repo cruise - check that out......it is full of all kinds of good information for you.....and of course, ask away........

 

The CC group will be meeting at 3p.m. sailing day for an informal "meet and greet" in Schooners.....bring/wear beads if you have them.

 

The official 'meet and greet" will be on the 20th.

 

After going into the thread, in your post let Ann know who you are and your cabin number. That way you'll get your invite for the "meet and greet".

 

The group will also be having a "slot pull" on day 9.....info's in the thread about that if you're interested.

 

Any questions, just ask....this is our third trip to Alaska; first by ship.......so much to do!

David - Al.....See you on board.........we can tell you a few things that have been suggested to us........

 

Sitka - Don't miss The Raptor Center...also, Totem poles

 

Juneau - Mendenhall Glacier and the tram up to Mt. Roberts.....really fun

 

Skagway - There is a train excursion - Chilkoot Charters and Tours (we're taking it) - sounds fun.

 

In Vancouver, we leave from Ballentyne Pier.

 

In Seattle, we dock at (I believe) Pier 66, which we understand is not a great area, and pretty far from town. So, we chose an excursion, since Seattle is new to us.

 

Any other questions, just ask!!!!!!!

 

All The Best.......

The only plans we have is to try and go to Butchart Gardens in Victoria Dinner would be great lets see what we can work out

Hey guys........

 

We'll be arriving into Vancouver about 12:30 on the 17th - should be at the hotel by 2 we would think.......if you guys would like, give us a call when you get in - The Hyatt number is 604 - 683-1234......ask for John Whalen and they'll put you through and we can go from there - there's a nice place downtown called Mooses - it's on the web, sounds kind of nice and funky....and affordable. Check it out and let us know what you think.

 

Have a super weekend.......

Hey Guys - We've just canceled our participation for the dinner Friday - seems the group is going out of their way and doing everything to accommodate two people who are being difficult at best.

 

Of course, let's still set up dinner for Thursday or Friday.

 

Take care - Have a great day.
