Jim, Are you and Jan interested in escorted October New England cruise from Montreal to FLL ? I think a lot of us are doing that.... :lct:

No Marcie. Jan won't do the Navigator. :(
Says she will go without before getting on that ship again.

J & J :rolleyes: :rolleyes: ;) ;) we, too, had bad experience and not on your trip - ours was 27 nights LONGGGGG

Jim, it's not our favorite either BUT we're going to give it another try in Oct '11...hoping for the best!

Aloha and Hi Marcie

Look like we will see you again.

Christina and I have also decided to try the Navigator again in Oct. Who else is planning on this cruise ? Can we bring our cat ? I would feel a lot like home !

John

Kind of starting a roll call for this cruise.

I think we'll give it try again Navigator I mean... still thinking - I like Montreal to FL NO long air flights - Jim we aren't on the crossing

Hey, Jim...as you know via e-mail we are back "aboard" after going 2009 without (except for a great fly/drive trip with my son to Sweden)....looking forward to Barcelona/Ft. Lauderdale, and hope we get a nice compliment of LCT folks to help us enjoy those great sea days!
Tim & Penny

FYI.
We will be interested in flying in at least
one day early to Barcelona so we can play tourist.

Jim, Ida and I are joining our good GA friends Sue/Tom for this Voyager 2011 TA. We also are booked on Voyager TA this November. Have done preliminary research on Barcelona (Cruiseluv (Maria)) intimately knows Spain/Barcelona (down to the best espadrilles shoe stores she recommended for Ida..nuts). After much research on tripadvisor and communication with the Gen Mgr of Hotel Regina, this is where we are staying for two nights this November. Mr Sanchez committed to me that when
we arrive o/a 9 am, 6 Nov they will do their best to have our room ready (at no charge). After securing our luggage/valuables, we'll immmediately take a private half day tour with Barcelona Day tours. Maria has given us robust Barcelona info that will fill our Barcelona Dance Card on Sunday.

Good info, Wes. Thanks for sharing. It will be helpful for Alice and me as we will be in Barcelona for the first time a couple of days prior to boarding the Mariner, Barcelona to Venice 10/31/2011.

Just added (jbittle) Jim and Pat Bittle

Soon I will do a new roll call with just this cruise on it. :) :D

Way to rally the troops, Jim!

Theresa and I are considering Barcelona...

Hi Mark and welcome to the board!

Great Mark!

GOSH!
Mark sent me an email asking me if I saw
the news about the terrible flooding in
Madeira Portugal going on.
That is one of the ports on this cruise!! :ohmy:

Here's some BBC footage of the flood/mudslides:

HI HI Mark and Theresa - we sure had fun with you on Paris trip!!!!!!

You and Tony brought the fun, Joanna!

Add us to the Roll Call: G 718

Wonderful news Mark!!
Welcome aboard!!
It must have been all our
emails that did it. :D

But I haven't told Theresa yet!!

OH! :ohmy: :eek: :ohmy: :eek:

Not to worry Mark, we gals just love surprises, especially when they involve NO cooking

Way to go Mark, You'll love the trip and we'll all make sure Theresa enjoys the sea days.
Jim & Pat

Oh I've done that a few times Mark - it always had happy ending :D :D

Okay, Jim. . . you are putting so much effort into this Roll Call, you can add our names. Dennis and Jackie -- suite 818.

Great. Jackie.
I have you on the list. :app:

Anybody out there have any ideas for a name for this cruise??

Add us to the list!
Gil & Arlene. Cabin 742.
And a 2nd Weiner on this sailing.

:D :D :chicken:

Wonderful news Gil
It will be great to see the two of you again
and be able to do our 1st cruise with Arlene.
Not enough time to visit at Embassy Suites in FLL
and aboard the Mariner in Papettee Tahiti.
'MINT" was a long time ago! :ohmy:

I am afraid the other Weiner canceled this cruise.

Gil, we decided to cancel or Voy 2011 TA & book Oceania's newest ship (Marina) for our Nov 2011 TA (16 nites vs 14, embarks Rome, plus we're booked on the Voyager 2010 TA this year that embarks Barcelona.

Well Karen must have gotten busy and
was not able to close the voting for us
on this cruise but "SPLASH" won it by a large margin.
Congratulations go out to Joanna!! :banana:

Jeffrey and I are now booked on this one too. Just way too good of an offer to pass up. Cabin 707. It will be my 5th Atlantic crossing by ship so I cannot wait. We're really looking forward to TUT this year and hope we'll see some of the same LCT'ers on SPLASH.

Cheers,
Kent & Jeffrey

Cabin 713.

Alright!! :app:
Welcome aboard!
It will be good to see you again since "LAMB"

Jim, Please add Gail and me to the list, too (cabin 731). Now if I can talk myself into 7 consecutive sea days ...
