This cruise squarely hit our "Bucket List" as we have only been to one of the ports and dearly want to spend some time in Venice.
So we're booked.
Eugene: Pls add Ray & Penny to the roll call.
Cheers! Ray

Welcome aboard. We'll have to share Cleveland stories. Did I ever tell you that's where I'm from?

Thanks for the welcome aboard Eugene. We're really looking forward to this cruise.
No, we never did talk about where you're from but we sure will while we do our "floating" from port-to-port. Actually we only had a short conversation during Ho-Down.
Cheers! Ray
p.s. I was born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska but was transferred many times by the railroad. Penny was born and raised in England and we met in Brooklyn, NY.

I remember that we had a short conversation at Ho-Down in the lobby of the Aloft. Of course, I follow your posts, videos, etc. on LCT.

Sorry you canceled Grand Prix, but very happy that you'll be with us on the Med. cruise.
(Interestingly, I was just saying to Gail today hat I hadn't seen a post from you lately.)

Gosh, have to really take a look at this one. Love the itinerary, Venice, Rome, Sorrento and Portofino -- whewwwwwww! At the top for the moment, but still thinking. Oct 7 would be our next favorite. Not to mention what a great name this one has. :D :app:

Istanbul is so awesome Joanna and I know you will love it. We stayed two nights after CLEO last year and didn't come close to seeing it all. But we had a great guide and saw a lot.

Priscilla & John: Welcome aboard and how nice it will be to see you again but in the meantime, see you at Hee Haw. Kathy & Al, the same goes for you!
JoAnn & Frank. Good luck on your decision. Either way you can't go wrong.
And who will we be meeting for the first time on this cruise? That's always something to look forward to.
Cheers! Ray & Penny

Well this may be the one.
Very good and dear friends for 42 years + are really interested in this one, so if they go we go so to speak. Hopefully will know in the next couple of days. Love, love this itinerary so it won't take much for us to do it.

well since our friends decided not to go and we have done so many of these ports before, we have moved to PAGODA and won't be doing this.  Will miss everyone, but decided to use our $$$ for something new. Kathy - thought you and Al had signed up for PAGODA but don't see you on the roll call. Priscilla - sorry we will miss you, but so glad we saw you at HEE HAW.

We will miss you too Priscilla and so glad to have seen you at HEE HAW. It was a hard decision, but several factors contributed and we decided since we had been to almost all these ports previously it was time for something new. Thanks for the good wishes, Frank was most happy, needless to say.

Hi JoAnn,
Sorry you won't be joining us. Yes, we are on PAGODA. We are also booked on SUMO and most likely will have to cancel one of them....if only we could say YES to everything!

Kathy - well we are dearly hoping and keeping our fingers crossed that you will choose PAGODA, I mean come on, Frank won the teapot on that one, so you have to be there with us.  Truly hope to see you then, and we will truly miss being with all of you on GONDOLA. But things are changing in our lives and we have to make choices......not to mention the money fountain is running lower and lower gotta win that damn lottery!!!
