Sailors, thought I'd start a new roll call for our exciting "Gilligan's Island 3 day Tour!"

J.B. and I will board in London on Aug. 29th.....we'll see 'yall on board the beautiful M/V Pride ship!

' Lest we forget. "La Dolce Vita!"

MB

Goldring, soooo happy you will be on board! I understand we're to have a few VIP's with us ~~~~along with "The Gilligan Gang!" Yippppeee!

Happy Trails and Sails!

MB

Martha....

You know I will be there. Am totally excited to experience Seabourn, along with meeting everyone from CC.....

Goldring....nice to see you and the Mrs onboard as well

Me too! Me too! I'll be there and I can't wait to meet you all. Sounds like we are going to have a fab time. Counting down the days!

I just received my preliminary documents for this fabulous cruise. What a nice surprise! Out of all the cruiselines I have been on, this is the first time I have ever gotten pre-final documents.

If this is any indication on how Seabourn does things, I know my first Seabourn experience is going to be a wonderful one.

Don't keep us guessing...Who are the V.I.P.'s?

OHHHH, for once, I've zipped my mouth shut!!!

Actually, some from the home office in Miami enjoy this 3-day NY-NY sampler.

We never know just who might show up! I do know one VIP that will be joining us.........hint, initials are P.R. (I'm thrilled!)

Come join the Gilligan Gang and merrymake with us! It's a FUN long weekend!

MB

Just returned from the Silver Wind, we were docked with the Legend in Menorca, she looked great! Looking forward to the Pride! See you all on board!

Well, I got my cabin assignment ofr the Pride, a handicapped cabin. Anyone have one of these? I was really looking forward to having a nice tub. Looks like I got what was left, next to an elevator....

Hhmmmm perhaps I should call my TA as I haven't seen my cabin assignment yet. Do you know if this cruise is sold out yet? I would certainly think so. After all, what a marvelous way to spend a long weekend - Cruising the Seabourn way......

Our Pride Crossing, from London to New York, Aug. 29th will be a packed ship, I heard! I'm guessing we'll have workers on board coming back.....they will probably disembark in NY City on Sept. 16th........then I certainly will not be surprised if the "Gilligan's Island 3 Day Tour" is a sell-out!!! It's a wonderful, fun-filled 3 days! AND, we'll have so many great Seabourn-ites on board! Icing on the cake!

Sail on........

MB

Hi All,

Just heard from my Seabourn rep that the sailing is full! (so I am staying in my handicapped cabin)

I'll be the one taking a bath in the hot tub!

JT

JT~~~~~I think our Crossing (Aug.29th-Sept.16th) is almost a sell-out! I would bet our "Gilligan's Island Tour" IS a sell-out! Don't worry about your suite.......ALL suites are very luxurious!

If anyone would like to bring "birthday party goods", please do so! As I will leave on Aug. 25th from Texas, I don't think I'll have room in my luggage to bring our party "goodies" I've visited with a few sailor's and they said they would be happy to bring aboard a few things.......we'll just all "chip in" and share.......I will ask Cheffy to bake us a big cake!

OH, and don't forget, I think we decided to each bring a 'lit "gag gift" to exchange! What fun and phooey to celebrate OUR birthdays on the beautiful M/V Pride ship!

I'll see 'yall in New York City!

La Dolce Vita!

MB

gag gifts! what fun! For those that sailed last years cruise, what was the dress like? Is their a formal night? were their tuxes?

avalon1025~~~~we decided to each bring a 'lit "gag" gift to our birthday party on the OLD CC board.......we thought it might be fun to exchange so everybody would have a party favor of their "Gilligan's Island Tour!"

And YES, there is a formal night.....it's the 2nd night out. As to the formal wear, the fellows wore tux and the ladies looked "smashing", in their

"haute couture", cafe society wear!

Looking forward to meeting and sailing with the CC gang! I think we must have around 15 or so on the "3-day Tour!"

See 'ya in NY City.......

MB

We will be joining your cruise as well, Both my my wife and I are looking foward to another cruise on the Seabourn Pride.

My wife is celebrating her 40th birthday, hope to join you all with a celebratory cocktail.

Can't wait to jump into those cold silky beds

We are staying a few days prior in the city.

by the way, where exactly is the cruise terminal ?

Smooth sailing

Ira & Marta

Ira~~~~we are so happy that you and Marta (many folks call me "Marta") will be joining us! Absolutely join the "birthday gang"......we will all look forward to meeting and being with you! Don't forget to bring 2 'lit "gag" gifts.

During your muster drill look up at the Sky Bar railing and you'll see a few of us drinking champagne.......I'll be the one in the Tiara! (we will have come from London---and are not required to don lifejackets)

The cruise terminal is 54th Street, but if you come by Taxi, he'll know where to drop you off. The "red-caps" will take care of your luggage and see that it's sent to the Pride ship.

Again, so happy you and Marta will be joining all "The Gilligan's Island Gang!"

It will be an unforgettable 3 days!

FYI, Friends of ours tried yesterday to book passage and were informed that the ship is sold out. I advised them to waitlist.

I havn't received my cabin assignment as of yet. I will call the lines next week.

Ira~~~~Yes, the 3-Day "Tour" is a sell out! So sorry your friends couldn't book.......but, there is always a chance of an opening. There is still time.

I'll be in Suite 206--Deck 5

We'll see 'ya in New York City!

MB

Call the line, my gty cabin has been assigned.

For all of you experienced Seabourn NY Waterways cruisers, is the Casino ever opened on this voyage? How would they do that if the ship is close to shore (which by my best recollection would be the entire stretch of the Hudson).

And I too called Seabourn and yes, the cruise is sold out! I received my guarantee as well and are very happy with my assignment. This should be a fun voyage, if only I can find a hotel room that is reasonable. For some reason Hotels in NYC that week are running very high.

Looking forward to meeting everyone.

Hello There:

The ship goes out to sea at night so that the casino can open. During our first 3-day the weather was poor one night so we dropped anchor next to the Statue of Liberty & overnighted there instead of going out to sea (casino was closed).

See you on-board!

Sailor's, why don't we all meet at the Sky Bar after the Muster Drill? I know Eric De Gray will have a "sail-a-bration", probably with the band. If we want, we can all wear some type of a "birthday hat"....... this way, we will be able to tell "who's who" as to our C.C. group. Just an idea. It will be an "informal" evening and we'll have some time to visit and meet everyone before

dressing for dinner.

Soooo, if 'yall think this is a good plan, "don't forget your birthday goofty hat" and a small gag gift!

Sail on.......

MB

AB, thanks for the information. I thought the casino would only be open at night. My DH was hoping that it would be closed, but alas while he is 1,000 miles away his wife can squander all of his life savings (only kidding!).

And Martha dear - can any of us wear a birthday tiara, or is that reserved for you.? I adored reading the story about your Gilligans cruise last year - am wondering if wearing a Tiara would get me on any earlier!

Looking forward to meeting everyone next month.

By all means, wear a "birthday TIARA!" I've decided to wear "Longhorns" instead of my glitzy Tiara! I'm saving that one for the evening! hahaha

I don't know about the "early boardin'".......you might try sweet talkin' the Port Authority Agent! Sometimes when I board, they don't know just "who the %$#*&" it is.......hahaha

Looking forward to seeing everyone on board the beautiful M/V Pride ship!
