I don't know, Marc...how would the pink poop match the rugs in your house? I'm still thinking about the iceberg thing...Maybe bring along a little portable fridge...such souvenirs...

Marc, once you get a whiff of the penguins, you may not be quite so enthusiastic. As a substitue, I'd be glad to give you "Turdley" who was our mascot on one of the Antarctica cruises--he's a penguin, has happy feet, he poops pink jelly beans, but he doesn't smell bad. I think there's a picture of him somewhere on LCT--I think the cruise was called POP :lct:

Whatever happened to the sliding penguin in someone's signature line? We need to revitalize that one for us ZODIs.

Marc, so glad you found the slapping penguin. It always makes me giggle!
pammy, I used to read Mr. Popper's Penguins to my 4th grade classes in the library. They loved it and I never tired of it. I won't be seeing the movie. but will keep the story in my head.

Getting back on topic...
Is there any reason Regent shouldn't put Burma back on the itinerary? Hasn't the situation settled down enough to go there; especially as they are still going to Egypt?

Olivia, I would love to do some more cruising with LCT, so I agree that the right place, and right price, with the right ship often compensates for the freebies with Regent. That statement applies more to us singles than the couples and the fact that I am not a drinker, but I did a 35 day cruise on HAL's Prinsendam, and never missed the perks on Regent because of the cost differential (and the service and food was comparable) Lynn

We found CC, Ngaire,and Antarctica in 2001 when we were researching a cruise for our 10th anniversary in December 2002. We had almost decided on Society Expeditions World Discoverer (now Silver Explorer) over Hanseatic just because more cabins on Queen instead of single beds. Then, we decided for a warmer weather cruise and ended up on Mariner. :D Since then, we had planned on traveling with Ngaire twice to Antarctica and moving/work got in the way both times. We are glad that we are finally going. I think I found the penguins not long after that initial 2001 research.

I think all the 2013 will be 100% single supplement initially. Pretty difficult for a single to pay that.

Another 100% year from Regent. How sad they will continue to turn their backs on their loyal singles. You can remove me from the interested in India list. :(

Tombo, I am sorry but I am not sure if you are already a client of Brown and Keene from just Tom and Karen and your acroynm I cannot tell.
Email me at keene@brownandkeene.com if you want to join the Brown and Keene waitlist please.
If you are another agencies client then you can ask them to book you when the bookings open and you can still be part of the LCT group on board for almost everything that is not a problem. Only a few functions that you could not be included without being a BK client as the ship would limit the participation to people in the official BK Group.

Well goodbye Regent, Hello Silverseas, Your Venetian Society looks even better now. Should have switched earlier. ( about the time Christian switched!)

Well we got the email today with the "sort of" 2012 /2013 schedules. Guess Jan and I had better really enjoy "SPLASH" because it looks like it is going to be a long time before we will be able to go on a Regent cruise again. :(

Just thought I would let you know I have had enough requests for the New Zealand/Australia trip that I will probably also escort that cruise.
January 9 - January 24 - Auckland to Sydney on the Voyager.
I always like "going home" can never go enough times on that cruise.
Marc no idea on the pre and post hopefully some details will be on the web but often it just says something like "3 day Taj Mahal package" but no explicit details. All remains to be seen -roll on tomorrow.
My plane leaves at 2.00 pm for Canada it will be crazy morning.

[/QB] Ngaire, this is first time I remember you arriving day before cruise starts! ;) See you on Thursday. :lct: BTW, I was looking at the 19 Dec cruise Bali around Western Australia to Auckland. Too many choices, too little time, too little money. ;)

Ngaire, we've been looking at that Auckland-Sydney on Jan 9/13, and like it a lot. If you are going to escort, we will likely transfer to that sailing instead of our Oct/12 Istanbul-Venice (booked with Susan W). Please add us to that list of interested parties.
