Greetings -

I'll be onboard, traveling with the Pied Piper group.

See you all in the Commodore Lounge!

In Malaga, the obvious choice is Alhambra Palace and Gardens if you haven't seen that before.

In Barcelona, ships usually dock virtually at the foot of the Ramblas, and everything is in easy reach from there. It's a wonderful city to walk. Sagrada Familia is my favorite spot there, and that's easiest if you are waiting at the door when they open - so it's a fine thing to do after our overnight. It gets busy, as do the Gaudi apartments. The Hop-on hop-off bus is a great way to do Barcelona.

I just came off another Pied Piper group cruise - westbound on the QM2. It was a great time. A smaller group - just 20 folks, and more than half were traveling in the grill suites, so just 8 of us in the main DR.

Looking forward to a likely larger group in April.

I'll be part of the PP group as well, traveling with a very FOD-friendly lady friend (in an adjoining cabin!).

I've done a bunch of PP cruises over the years, and this is my 8th trip on Cunard. It'll be Vicki's first on Cunard. I had taken some time off from the very formal evenings, but I'm looking forward to putting the tux on again.

We're leaving for a few days in London prior to the cruise on December 10. Seven sea days will be wonderful.

there are always lots of homosexuals, especially on Celebrity.

There will be an FOD gathering announcement posted near the guest services desk, so visit there... and we're ALWAYS at the martini bar before late-seating dinner.

No - they don't usually publicize that. I know that Bruce is expected to host, and he's one of the best hosts they have.

A buddy of mine and I will be traveling on Explorer, taking advantage of the no-single supplement offers that's been on for a couple of months now.

Anyone else on board?

I'll be part of the Pied Piper group on board for this crossing. Looking forward to a wonderful 16 days....

I took advantage of the no-single supplement deal a few months back, and booked this. Combined with British Air miles for the return trip, and Southwest miles to get to FLL, it was a deal.

Will be traveling with a friend, but in separate cabins..... and staying on in London for six nights afterward.

It's been awhile since I've been on RCL. I have to say that I'm already annoyed at the number of marketing emails they're sending... I'm hoping they aren't that aggressive once on board.

Looking forward to meeting everyone!

David.

Thanks for the welcomes. Online check-in is done, luggage tags arrived, I got signed up on the Facebook group, so it's official.

It's probably common knowledge, but I heard that there's a big Halloween Party not far from our hotel in San Juan, in case anyone else is staying over for a night.

Not sure if this'll be the place to be or not, but it's nice the timing worked out. ;)

I'm a late addition to the bearcruise.com group. I've done a bunch of Celebrity cruises over the year, and a number with Pied Piper, but this is my first bear cruise. And then to find out there are two bear groups on board!
