Joining here now to say add me to the increasing list of Spice Girls! Forgot to add myself, as I'm always hesitant until I am absolutely sure!
I've cruised before with each and everyone of you on the list, and looking forward to being with some whom I've not seen for too long! And I just adore the NAME! oh my, so many new ports for me, it will be a long wait to see them all! haha, I am going to double up with my familial obligations in 2013 to free myself up for 2014 Thanksgiving and Christmas eve family gatherings that are always a big undertaking for the entire extended family on my side.

Im a little slow off the mark, but we are in, too. Susan & Wayne (764). We were in your 'neighborhood' last year on Voyager, up a deck this time. Might have to run downstairs during the Block Party!

I know this is a long way off but let's start thinking of maybe having a group dinner for Thanksgiving. There aren't that many of us and we all know each other so it would be like having family. Just a thought. Maybe they would bring out a whole turkey to the table so we could have the family dining thing as well as any other mains people want.

Pam, fantastic idea. On one Regent cruise we saw a whole goose brought out to the table. Grandfather, traveling with large family group, carved the goose. I think getting whole turkey served should be easy. Of course, we might need many turkeys!

If you request a whole turkey (or more than one) order it before the cruise so it can be available. It's been done before, a group of 10 had one for Thanksgiving on the Discovery Cruise and another had one in the Amazon in 2012. A real turkey is so much better than their standard turkey roll ups.

A fantastic idea Pam. We had Thanksgiving dinner with Ngaire and Ken and Tom and Mona last year so maybe we can start another biannual tradition!

Good idea. We were on Regent last Thanksgiving and one group had a fabulous looking turkey with all the trimmings. It looked like there were two tables of 6 or 8 who were served. We were really jealous

What a fun idea for you all. I would definitely recommend pre-ordering the turkey. On the Discovery Collection in 2008, Crystal and I had the opportunity to enjoy Thanksgiving dinner with Captain McNeill, the ship hostese and 3 other couples. All 10 of us ordered the turkey (not all Americans at the table) and it was delicious. In 2010 on DINGO, we again celebrated Thanksgivingon the Navigator to a disappointing rolled turkey.

Good. We will make room for all who want to join. Love the idea of a family style dinner without having to do the cooking. This year it was a 24lbs turkey next year someone else will do it. Now on to Christmas.

lol, I didn't even read the stuff that we need an Indian visa. I think I have every visa required in most parts of the world. Now I have to do this one?????????? I usually just pay extra and expedite. Makes me nervous not to have my passport. I'll be looking into this tomorrow.

I dropped my application off at the Houston Travisa location on April 15 and it was ready today. If you consider mail both ways it should only add a few more days.

I still need India visa, any others can be obtained when we get there, is my understanding.
Last time I needed another visa for Brazil I used visa service that Regent uses but forgot the name - it went very fast and smoothly. I asked Susan W to email me what the service is but haven't heard from her yet.
If we apply soon should not need expedite fee.

Marc, we got an India Visa a year or so ago. We used ABriggs in Houston and it took a little over a week to get it there and back by mail. Just be sure you dot all the i's and cross all the t's--apparently they're very picky.

We have used CIBT with good results. I believe that is the service most cruise lines utilize. Hope that helps, Ted
