Silver Spirit 11/14-12/2 (FLL-Barbados-FLL)

[MiaPortia]

Mark and I can't wait to experience the Spirit! Any others sailing on this B2B?

[Master Echo]

Hello Mia,

Yes we too are doing a back to back but not the same two as yours. We are sailing from Barbados on November 23 and disembarking from there on December 11th.

Think there is another doing the Thanksgiving cruise called Paul.

Looking forward to hearing from you.:):)

Best regards

Master Echo

Master Echo -- we'll be on the second half of your cruise also doing a back to back.

[MiaPortia]

Hi, Master Echo, Emtbsam, and Paul -
Mark and I are also looking forward to meeting everyone onboard! I think we are close enough to sailing that we can bring out the luggage and officially begin the "countdown!" Mia

Hi ...

I see there is some CC on this cruise. Let us make a date to meet up and say hi to each other.

Paul.

[MiaPortia]

Hi, Paul - This is our first trip aboard the Spirit so we are not yet familiar with the ship. Any thoughts where CC folks might meet for introductions?

[Master Echo]

Hi Mia and Paul,

It is our first time on Spirit too, so Paul if you know the Spirit perhaps you could suggest where and when?

Are either of you staying in Barbados pre cruise?

So much to do - beginning to panic!!:eek:

Regards
Master Echo

[Master Echo]

Thought you were on our second one - have to smuggle ourselves in your luggage for your 2nd cruise:). That would be lovely - could live on a cruise ship!!

Perhaps we could meet up when you get on board on the 2nd?

All best wishes
Master Echo

We are boarding on 11/14 (same as Paul, I think), so it sounds like a get-together on 11/23 (when you board) could work!

[Paul 8718]

Hi.

This is PAUL..... I will be joining the Barbados - Ft. Lauderdale cruise on November 23 - December 2nd .

Thanks.

[MiaPortia]

Hi, Paul - Sounds like you are boarding at the same time as Master Echo! Might you know of a spot on the Spirit that would work for introductions (11/23)?

[Paul 8718]

Hi.

Embarcation day (11/23) is usuall very busy. So I think a late meeting about 9-9;30PM (after dinner) in one of the lounges may be a good idea. What is your opinion ???

Thanks..PAUL

Perhaps you folks may like to read our report from last year. Hope it helps.

Hi, Meow - Thank you so much for posting the link! Mark and I will be traveling on SS for the first time and all impressions were greatly appreciated!

Hi, Paul - Your recommendations seem spot on; 9:30 could work for us. Comments in Meow's posted thread indicate that the Observation Lounge might be an amenable meeting spot (unless, of course, the remnants of "Sean" make things a bit too bumpy...) From the Spirit’s deck plan, “The Bar” might be another suggestion.
Thoughts?

[Paul 8718]

Ok... then lets schedule our CC meeting at 9:30 PM in the observation lounge on 11/23. The ship sails at 11 PM, so it gives us plenty of time to say hello to each other, before we "sail away" !!!!

[MiaPortia]

Sounds perfect, Paul. Mark and I look forward to seeing everyone in the Observation Lounge! :)

I watched the sailaway live on the webcam yesterday. Departure was rather late, caused by heavy incoming port traffic, so it was completely dark as Spirit got underway. It was a beautiful sailaway, I hope that you're all having a wonderful trip.
