Thanks, Marsha! Nope, I don't think so....I really like those
transatlantics...very relaxing! I think 7 day cruises are too short
anymore..they should all be at least 9 days! ;-)

I agree with you Annie, better be safe than sorry..by November, the flu may
have invaded our space and it's best to be prepared. I wish you a wonderful
cruise too!

Well, Jeff, check with Cal Ford and see if there are any cabins left on the
Regatta next month OR
Come with George's group on the Solstice in February or his May 10th group
to Alaska on the Star Princess! We'd love to see you again! OR you could
join us on the Voyager of the Seas in December! ;-)

Yes, Jean, it will be the Regatta again March 9th. I wish it was sooner

watch for picpockets in Las Ramblas but some wonderful things to see.

I'm also a year older since then, Tom, and after the year that I just had, I
NEED smaller right now! ;-) It is supposed to sail out of Houston/Galveston
which means no air fare for us.(Thank God!) Also family time constraints
made it the one to take. Hopefully the ship already will be decorated for
Christmas as that is what I really enjoyed on the Liberty last year!

The Solstice is going to be a very modern looking ship and that is what
Kevin and I find so appealing.

Then you would be doing a B2B, one week before us and then you can show
us around? There are going to be lots of good people that I know you
know and enjoy sailing with.LOL

Robert, I hope Ike did not treat you too rough. My oldest son lives on
Clear Lake and he did not evacuate. He was without electricity for 48
hours. My youngest lives about 10 minutes away from you and he lost
power for 5 days. Here in Louisiana, we had wind gusts of 50 mph and we
lost a few trees. We did not lose electricity, but thousands of our
neighbors did.
So, when is your next cruise?

Thanks, Annie...I am really looking forward to it and hope that I feel the
same way as you and return again!
There is so much to see there that I hope we can do most of it in four days.

Hi Robert!
So good to hear from you! I've missed your posts here! We returned in mid
September from a seven day trip to Poland, Hungary, Slovakia and Czech
Republic followed by a seven day river cruise up the Danube from Budapest to
Prague. I'll take a real cruise ship any day...they don't spoil you enough
on river cruises. ;-) But it did give us a chance to see quite a few
European cities including Vienna, where we attended a lovely concert at the
opera house..
I hope that Ike was kinder to you than he was to others...The pictures of
the Houston/Galveston area were absolutely horrible and CNN on the river
cruise really did an overkill job scaring us... We thought we would have no
home to come back to the way that they went on about it..and all we got was
some rain and the poor refugees who had to escape...thank heavens for text
messages from our family telling us that all was fine..But you are right
there... I'm glad that you are okay and hope that your home was safe and
untouched.
Thanks for the good wishes! When are you going to join us on a cruise?
Don't be a stranger and pop in more often!
--Jean
Robert Strauss
wind stayed at about 75mph for hours. A red oak tree about 35 years old
fell on the corner of the house. I just got a contractor to start work on
it yesterday. Several of our neighbors had many thousands of dollars in
damages from fallen trees. We were without power, phone, internet, hot
water for 10 days. What a joy it was when the power came back on. Many
people aren't aware of this, but the deductible for damages from storms like
this is 2% so none of the repair work is covered by insurance. There goes
the money for a great cruise.
We'll cruise again but don't know when. We did squeeze on in around last
April. In about 10 days we are going to Vegas for 4 days, and we just came
back from a trip to CT to see family, so we aren't too deprived.
I still see a lot of familiar names on RTC so its good to check in now and
again. I'll be off and on until we get serious about another cruise.
All the best to you,
Regards, Robert

Oh, Robert,
I am so sorry that you suffered so much damage! And being without power for
TEN days must have been horrible...I can imagine the joy when it finally
came back on. No, I didn't know that the deductible for storm damage was
only 2%. Wonder if this is the same with all insurance companies...we are
covered by State Farm. To get a contractor to finally come out so long
afterwards must have been very taxing, too.
I'm glad that you were able to get a cruise in last April and I envy your
going to Vegas...we have not been there for years...I hope you win a huge
jackpot that covers your contractor's bill and then some!
Take care and as I said before, don't be a stranger here!
Best to you always,
--Jean
Jeff
Exactly! I wonder if I could swing that? Well I guess if I go for a
cheapo cabin, lol....but I'll have the ship all mastered by the time
y'all get on, lol.... I'm thinking a nice 10/11 day or 14 days b2b would
be nice!!!
Jeff
Sue Mullen
So go and book the Solstice already and stop procrastinating(VBG). Just
make sure you are on the ship when we are on it. Also be sure to take
second seating so you can sit with us and with Lola and John, just a few
of our former tablemates from the Crown Princess.
Go call or email George and get your cabin already.lol
sue
Jeff
Oh yes, I'm a late booker! I could do an inside cabin....and swing 2
weeks! I did ask George about Sleazy....but will be doing election
stuff through November 4. But 2 weeks in early Feb.....I could swing
that!!!
Jeff
Sue Mullen
I know election time isn't good for you, but there is no excuse not to
go in Feb. I will be waiting to hear that you have booked the Solstice!!!!!
sue - getting as bad as Jean and Ermalee about twisting arums.LOL
Jeff
I'm seriously thinking about the Solstice. So who's going?? I think
the Aqua class cabin sounds intriguing!

Me and Kevin, Lola and John, Jean and Ed and I think that is about it
from the SGC on the Crown Princess. There are lots of other people of
course and I think you would know a lot of them.
I think
> the Aqua class cabin sounds intriguing!
This would be great for you, but mucho $$$$$$$$.
Do you think your mom would join us?
sue
Sue Mullen
Jean, I am getting pretty good at twisting arms, but no where near as
good as you and Ermalee.lol
sue
Jeff
So that's a whole bunch!
I think she'd sail on anything pretty much, although not carnival,
lol....but Celebrity and HAL which she liked better most definitely!
She's willing to try Costa too I think.
I will go look at those Aqua cabins again, although really their main
benefit is the free spa stuff which I would actually use.
I guess when I took her to Alaska on the Galaxy we had a concierge class
room. So, she's used to livin' large lemme tell ya!!!
Jeff
Sue Mullen
On the Solstice I wanted an aft cabin, but the only aft cabins are
concierge class. We have too much going on right now to book concierge
class, gotta save some money for my nephews wedding in St. Thomas.lol
Hope your mom will join us!!

Hey if you're going to their wedding in St. Thomas they shoujld be glad

Jeff
Sue Mullen
My nephew and his fiance already said that everyone who does not live in
St. Thomas, should not give them a gift. Somehow I think we will ignore
them and give them a gift, just the same as we would with the rest of
the family.
So has your mother said ok to the Solstice yet and when are you going to
book already? Maybe by the time we come home from our cruise you will
be booked?

Haven't even had any of those discussions yet!!! When do you guys leave??

No that would be bad! Well....when I go home this week for turkey day
I'm floating the various cruise proposals to Mom, which are:
1. Go away the week of my folks' anniversary (Jan 6)
2. Go away the week of the inauguration (and/or rent out my condo for
lots of money, lol...)
3. Go on the group cruise on Celebrity...
It's going to be either 1 or 3 I think. She is already going to Florida
for a month in late Feb, so I'm thinking either 1 or 3, but....honestly
I could do both no problem!
