We are looking at the 16 night t/a in October 2016.

Joe:D

Welcome aboard Herbert and Uwe!

Hope to meet you on board.

Joe:D

Acting crazy, yes :) Been a busy summer and we're off on the Eclipse TA on 01NOV...really looking forward to the break. How have you kids been?

 

J

Doing great!

Just did the 30th RSVP Alaska cruise and loved it!

We looked at the Eclipse TA but chose this one instead.

Joe:D

SERIOUSLY? Robert and I are booked on the Equinox October 2016 sailing! The Silhouette TA was a BLAST! Many awesome nights at the Martini Bar! :)

How are you boys doing, still acting?

Joe:)

Sorry, not my sister.

That would have been great!

Joe

Howdy Jeff,

We always purchase the premium package, a great deal if you drink the way we doLOL!

Get a large bottle of water to keep in the cabin and grab a bottle as we take shore excursions.

Arrive on the 26th staying at the Le Meridian with points:cool:

Joe

Hi Jeff,

You will see all of us around the Martini Bar every night prior to dinner.

My sister lives in High Point:D

Looking forward to meeting you and just hanging out.

Ray and I have been together 27 years:)

Joe

Thanks!

David,

We just booked our airfare through Choice Air and got business class on Lufthansa A380 very very reasonable.:D

Staying at Le Meridien for one night.

Joe

Hi Joe & Ray ...

Glad you found this thread. I find it difficult maneuvering around the "meet me on board" site. How do you know there are so many "family" on board this sailing? Seems like a lot!

 

David

David,

There were over 300 on the cruise two years ago.

It seems to be several on this cruise.

Joe

Glad to have found this post.

Husband and I have just this week booked the cruise.

The Martini Bar will be very active prior to dinner each night if it is like the last Celebrity t/a we did two years ago. Almost 300 "family" on board!

Joe and Ray:cool:

Where is the location of this new restaurant on Equinox?:confused:

Cannot find anything!:(

Thanks for all the info.

This helps to make up our minds:D

Joe

Does HAL offer a beverage package on transatlantic cruises?

X stopped offering and looking at HAL for a crossing.

Thanks:confused:

Cannot find t/a cruises today on the web page, get message "oops"LOL!!:(

the AI package is available on most Princess cruises other then what was stated above. Yes on the Island.

Thanks to all responses!:cool:

Anyone doing this cruise?

Thinking about taking this one.

Joe:D

Is the beverage package available on Island Princess transatlantic 11/6?:confused:

We are thinking of taking this cruise from Rome to Ft. Lauderdale and wanted to know if anyone else will be going.

Would appreciate any tips about the "Connie".:D

Thanks:)

Check out Meet Me on Board web page to get an idea of all the options.

They rate the cruises as either all gay charter, group cruise etc.

Going with "family" has always been more fun for us but we have made life long friends on "straight" cruises as well.:D

Thank you for theinfromation about the Luminosa, it's always nice to get first hand knowledge and not the usual, I heard from a friend whose second cousin twice removed ex boyfriend etc. etc.

 

Were you kept informed about what was happening?

As soon as some power was restored they made three announcements.

We just returned from the t/a on the Luminosa and the crew did a great job handling what could have been much more serious!

Our first Costa cruise and third t/a.

Around 4:30am we were almost shacked out of bed by a series of violent movements that actually turned the tv hanging on the wall on for a few seconds prior to loosing all power. Let me explain that we lived about six miles north of the epicenter during the Northridge earthquake in California and this was almost as violent! Felt the ship would break in half:eek::eek:

I thought we had hit another ship or something that is how bad it was.

Were dead at sea for about two hours, no water pressure, lights or telephone service.

All was restored and proceeded with the balance of the crossing making all ports of call.

Again I commend the crew for a terrific job handling this event.

Would I cruise with Costa again? You bet!:D

Joe and Ray

Check out the W, on the beach near the port.:D

Just received e-mail from Costa about cruise ticket/luggage tags, when I looked over the information there was no mention of the all inclusive beverage package just the water package and gifts for the cabin. Logged into "My Costa" and it shows all inclusive package.

Is this normal or did they miss this?

Joe:confused:
