Hi Everyone I have been off this site for quite awhile but decided to come back and see if I can keep up and catch up w some of the folks I have connected w in the past. A lot of member names sound familiar...that was nice to see. We have cruised mainly w Celebrity and also a few on Royal Caribbean. Our last cruise was on the Allure. Loved the ship. We have cruised the caribean, med, transatalantics and will be cruising to Alaska in june 2013. Looking forward to getting to know everyone. Gail

It has been so exciting watching the progress of the Solstice. Will look forward to hearing the results of the undocking. We are booked to sail on her April 19th. 15night transatlantic. Plenty of sea days to discover all of her nooks, crannies and special spots. Gail

ok... now i miss everyone more than before. truely a magical trip shared with so many new friends. It was amazing going through that window. we were in with all of that luggage before we knew it. Tonia any luck with the roommate situation? Sure hope we both get to come along with this group. Joey, I am sure your pins came out great. You have high expectations- i know we discussed this one time about picturing something in your head being one way and when it doesn't turn out just what you had pictured- you can be disappointed. That's me too.... so I can imagine your reaction. How is the planning coming along? Any new takers? Gail

Joey I'd be proud to wear your design. You did a great job designing it. The blue will make a nice touch. Now...just have to continue to keep my fingers crossed for us to go. I have to tell you... every time I open my jewelry box and see the millie pin- I smile with the wonderful memories. Gail

We voted with our fingers crossed that we will be able to make it. I really want to do this group cruise. Only time will tell. Gail

to bed after midnight after shows and casino and up by 9am on sea days but earlier on port days.

Black jack table...thats where you will find Paul every evening and on sea days. I love to watch and to play when finances allow. We also love Let It ride but don't see that much on the ships. If it has to be a machine play, it would be video poker.

Yipeeee.... the countdown has begun. Enjoy the anticipation. Wishing you smooth sailing, beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Gail

We love the whole feeling of being on the ship, good value- entertainment, food etc- don't have to think about what to do in the evenings- everything is there for you. Plus- unpack once and see a different port everyday! Love, Love, Love the whole experience! Gaol

We would really love to do this group cruise... we may be to taking our oldest grandson to Disney the fall of 2009. if his folks come down with us (which is what they are considering doing) we may be able to work both since we would be in florida anyways. We would be interested in one of the first two options. But price and time will be the key to whether can swing it. I have got my fingers crossed. Joey...Thanks for your research... Gail

We sail solo as a couple... can't seem to find anyone of our friends who are interested in cruising. too bad for them. But we enjoy each others company and it is nice to be able to do your own thing. We certainly did find it fun to meet so many from our roll call on our last cruise. It made it quite fun to know others. Gail

We are okay with leaving from florida. It does have its pros although more expensive for us. We would prefer either RCCL or Celebrity. We really would prefer to stay away from Carnival. Looks like the Caribbean is going to win this poll. We will just have to try revisiting the med/ greek isles/turkey in 2010. something else to look forward to. Gail

Well Joey....I voted but I really wanted to vote twice. We had a hard time making a decision although I voted for the med....cruising out of NJ is appealing because of the sea days and the cost savings for us not having to include an expensive flight in the budget. As I have said, we would love for a cruise where most the most people can go who are interested. we are flexible. Gail

Jackies and Carmen...We also liked Barbados. Did some off road excursion that brought us to some beautfil views. Diane- how was the TA? We are planning on booking one for Nov 2008. We will be visiting the Canaries as well. how was the crossing...bumpy or smooth. how about temps? Glad to see you back on the board and hope that something can be worked out for a reunion. Joey, when do you leave for your cruise? Tonia- are you still around? Any luck talking to your TA? better run- checking in at work... Gail

Joey I like the second cruise you listed. Is that on Celebrity? on the Galaxy? I like the overnight in Istanbul. Have you ever sailed on the Galaxy? If everyone decides on the carribbean we could go along with that choice but the med does call you once you have been. G
