Not long now! I have downloaded and printed my e-docs in anticipation.:o

Kevin

Have you seen the prices for this cruise now!!!!???? All of a sudden, on the UK site at least, it seems that all the inside, studio and balcony cabins have sold out and the unsold grades are at sky high prices. If this crossing is so full then it is very unusual in my experience. I cannot help thinking that grades that are showing as 'sold out' now will suddenly reappear as available in a couple of weeks time:rolleyes:. What do you think?

Not long now!:D

Kevin

Hi Kevin. I am sure we must have met! Looking forward to meeting you again! Is that coincidence or do you do the T/As every year? David

Hi David!

I am 100% sure that we have met even though I do not think we have had any long conversations. This time we must put that right.

I do TAs every year but not always with NCL. Last November I did a very interesting itinerary on the Navigator of the Seas from Southampton to Miami with stops in Boston and overnight in Manhattan. Unfortunately, I did not get to see much of Boston due to the poor onboard management on the Navigator. I have to say I always get more enjoyment by traveling alone on the NCL TAs.

Not long now!

Kevin

Hi All. David and Joseph from California here. It's looking like we will be on this T/A with you. This will be our 3rd T/A on the Epic (plus last year on the Jade). 2011/2014/2016. We will be traveling with our kids who are now 7/8/9. Each time we go we are getting to spend more time with the FOD crowd - and hopefully this year will be the best yet! Looking forward to meeting you all and possible visiting with some we have met before.

Welcome aboard!

I also have done T/As on the Epic in 2011 and 2014 plus the Jade in 2016 so for sure I will recognise you.

Not long now!

Kevin

Partner and I just booked on. We love the TAS and the Epic. Hope to see guys we have met on past crossings. Will stay in Europe a few weeks past cruise. No firm plans yet.

Donald and David

Welcome aboard! :D

I have booked my place in the Spa and bought the Spa Pass. The UK price came down a little after a few days of availability, but not by much. When I spoke with my UK Personal Cruise Consultant (the lovely Margaret Forbes-Welch actually sat in an office in Malta) she told me that the spa pass prices had gone up a lot, not helped by the fall in the value of Sterling since the Brexit vote.

I have not booked to see Priscilla or Burn as I have seen both and also I will be staying on the Epic when we arrive in Barcelona. I will be joined then by a friend from Ibiza who will be doing his first cruise so we will do both shows during Atlantic Islands cruise.

The LGBT gathering is usually held at 19:00hrs in Shakers and on the Atlantic crossings there is usually a big turnout.

I made my final payment a couple of days ago ..........Not long now!!!:D

I've not done Jade before. It's been Epic, Breakaway, Getaway, Escape and Spirit (which I love). Also done a few Royal like Indy, Allure, Harmony and Anthem

I too liked the Norwegian Spirit and the Epic of course [it has an unique personality) and I did the Breakaway inaugural Atlantic Crossing. Getaway & Escape I have not done. I am not a big fan of Royal Caribbean and have an ABTA complaint running at the moment so I have not done many of its ships but the Independence I have done and disliked it.

Your thermal spa pass is now available!

 

Happy New Year

Is it my imagination but has the price of the Spa Pass gone up by a large amount? :( I have not bought my Spa Pass yet but will wait until I have spoken to my NCL Personal Cruise Consultant when I get home after my Christmas/New Year break with friends.

Hi. I'm booked on this one. I think we've met on a TA in recent years..

Hi Craig! Welcome to this thread. I am sure we have met before on TAs, I have done quite a few with NCL & Royal Caribbean. I am looking forward to doing this itinerary in particular as for years I have wanted to do a British Isles cruise and the Norwegian Jade is my favourite ship.

We are also on this cruise but from St Lucia on the 4th March

It is our 1st time on Britannia, but have been on various other P&O ships and Princess, RCL, Celebrity and Azamara

Chris and John

Welcome to the thread Chris & John! By the time we join the Britannia you should know the ship well. There is now going to be three of us in our little group plus four (outrageous) friends of my cabin mate from the 10th.

Looking forward to meeting everyone.:)

I checked the website last night and it looks like the thermal spa passes were finally made available and are already sold out. I'll check again in a few days, as I hope that isn't the case! Perhaps it was just a glitch in the system. I know they will be in demand for this cruise.

I hope not :eek: I look forward to my afternoons in the Spa on these TAs.;)

Still no LGBT takers?:confused:

Hey everyone..... There is a big bunch coming...... We have: my Partner Heiko and me from Frankfurt, Peter & Chris, our friend Sven from frankfurt area. Some Friends from san Diego, CA and a friend , Justin from Toronto. We are an age mix between 25 and 40.... Looking forward !!!!!

Sounds good! Sorry I did not acknowledge your post before but I have been busy lately .......... cruising! :)

And still nobody has joined us on this thread. Does this mean there will be no other LGBT joining us on this cruise?:rolleyes:

One more day to go and I am already in cool, windy and damp Southampton.

I am looking forward to meeting the few guys who joined this thread and a few more too;)

Three Days and I fly to Southampton tomorrow:D

Four days and still counting!:D

Seven days and counting! :D

Eight days and counting!!!!:D

Nine days and counting!

:)Ten days and counting!:D

In just over a week I fly to Southampton for just 2 nights in my UK home. My group and I are due to board at 13:15hrs but I think I go a bit earlier than that.:)

Hiya! Allan and I will be on this cruise. Recently booked with our friend Christine. We have a balcony room on deck 10 and Chris has the interior room opposite us. ......then my mum decided she would do her first cruise too.....then Allan's parents thought they would join us too! Should be interesting! It's our first time on NCL after 8 Celebrity cruises. :)

Welcome along! Sounds like you are going to have a fun & busy time.;)

I have recently booked this exciting itinerary with my best mate of 37 years (separate inside cabins solo occupancy).

This is an itinerary I have wanted to do for many years and now I am doing it on my favourite ship of my favourite cruise line.

Early days, but is anyone joining us?:)

I also would like to hear about your experience living in Spain!

See you in a few weeks! Less than a month now. Pity there have been so few posts on this thread.:confused:

You are on my navigator transatlantic as well

 

Looking forward to catching up with you

 

;)

See you in a few weeks!
