Hi Everyone

 

I read the boards everyday. With xmas approaching fast, I am getting more and more excited about my upcoming cruise.

 

Deidre.

Hi Everyone,

 

Jingles here too. This forum has made me so prepared for our first cruise in 21 days - wahoo. I too visit everyday but don't always post, doesn't mean I'm not here. Have been visiting for over a year now, must say it's had it's ups and downs and yes some names have disappeared (which isn't always a bad thing).

 

It's just nice to know you can always ask a question and someone will be able to answer it and not make you feel silly.

 

Cheers

Jingles:D

 

PS Did I mention it's only 3 weeks or 21 more sleeps till our cruise. Aaaarrrghhhh, excited and nervous and panicky all at the same time. Must get on to that packing list.:)

[Westaussie]

Lovely thread ... good to see some 'old' friends again! Read the boards every day.

Hi from Sydney (not far from you Karmac) I too come here most days. Love the feeling I get when reading about other peoples cruises while waiting for my next one (May '10) And the info is invaluable. Nice thread Karon.

Hi...

 

another "oldie" signing in...we still read the boards every day, and are still here - over on the roll call with Westaussie and anglwingflys...we have been very busy moving house etc, but are back "onboard" now...

 

Yes, a lovely thread Karon...we have been members for 8 years, and still enjoy all the good stuff on here... I know some of the others are over on the "other" forum, which is also good..I read that one too!!...all good info....:)

Hi Everyone,

I am still around too... over on rollcall (CC)

for our next cruise , doing a lot of reserch on the net about Bangkok(pre cruise), so I guess I am lurking :(.

but I love to read every post still.

cheers Deb

 

 

 

Make sure you find the time to visit the State Tower in Bangkok!

 

They have 2 bars that do fantastic cocktails,one up on 63rd floor Sirocco,s and another on the 76th I think?

 

This is a true 5 star hotel with views to match!

 

You are allowed to visit for a meal or just a drink.

 

This is a must do in Bangkok.

 

We are going to stay a few nights there for my 50th in two years time:eek:

 

last time we just went for drinks and couldnt believe how great it was.

 

This place has the "Wow factor":)

Hi Guys, glad to see you are still around...No cruise countdown in your siggy.???

 

Can you believe it is nearly a year since our Pacific Dawn cruise. Wow.

[fishtaco]

Hello everyone, I haven't posted in a while because I haven't cruised recently. I'm booked on the Pacific Sun 8 night West Australian coastal cruise up to Broome in January for hubby's 50th.:)

 

 

We are on the cruise to Bali after your cruise!

 

We should pass each other in freo as we are going nice and early:D

I absolutely love this forum.. I joined early last year under the name of cruiseship_virgin but have since changed my name.. Lost my virginity in Feb on the PD ;)

 

This forum has been of endless help to me and I'm so grateful for all the advice I've gotten from people on here and now I can even offer some tips :)

[elloello]

Before my cruise in July I checked this site at least 5 times a day for almost a year lol

 

I have settled down to checking about twice a day and I am hoping to cruise again next year (need time to save).

 

It was great to meet others from here on my July cruise, cruise enthusiasm is so contagious!

[staranice]

Another newbie here.I can't get enough of this site and have learnt some valuable information for my cruise in Oct 2009.Everyone is friendly and always reply to questions i have posted.Thanks heaps:):):):):)

[Gold Coast Cruisers]

Gosh it's so nice to see so many on here :):)

 

Even if you've not got a cruise booked it's still well worth checking in to see whats happening in the CC cruising world.

[LouLou28]

Hello everyone! Great thread Karon!

 

I have been a member here for about 2½ years (found the site after our first cruise ... so wish I had found it BEFORE that cruise) - but it has always been a great source of info (and laughs sometimes:rolleyes:)! Have been on two more cruises since that first one!:p

 

I haven't posted much of late --- two reasons, started a new full time job (after 7 months off:eek:) and don't have a cruise booked ... but I think I'm about to change that any day now - just waiting for the prices to come back from our TA.

 

I usually check in daily (time permitting) sometimes twice .... you'll probably see/hear me a bit more once we've booked again!:D

[Oxymoron]

yeah, these and the other boards are awesome for catching up and getting cruise ideas. I spend lots of time reading threads and taking notes and I am 191 days out from my cruise!

[fifties chick]

Hi from the Granite Belt, Qld..I just love checking in every day and touching base with all my fellow cruisers on our roll call...which has now grown to 230 pages and 4597 posts..We have learned so much, that the TA's don't tell you..Ciao Ronda

[robinph]

Hi everyone, only joined this forum a few months ago, but am now addicted,If I don't check the site at least once a day I get withdrawl symptoms. I hate it if I have to miss getting on for a day or two. :(Thankyou all for your interesting and imformative points of view I love it!!!:)

[cruisey13]

Hi all,

I am from Brisbane and joined last week so am very new to this. Great to know that there are so many people that adore cruising as much as i do, i find it is a real holiday for mums with no cooking or cleaning. I just love it :):):) We have cruised twice with our third in Jan 2010 on pacific dawn.

Thanks karon great idea inviting members to say hi it has made it easier for me to post, i look but never say much.

I looked at the Bali cruises but the kids will be back at school by then and the Christmas cruises didn't suit as we have family coming to stay. We are in Bunbury so a holiday without flights is a bonus and even better, no kids!!!!! :):)

[NSWP]

Hi there, I am still here. Still getting the odd hammering on the Princess board, who cares.

[SpiffyChicken]

Hello from Canberra! I've only just joined CC and I love looking through the posts. I've been taking lots of notes for newbie cruisers. I go on my very first cruise in November and I've talked a friend into coming with me (she didn't need much convincing ;)). Thanks for all the great info!

Welcome to CC. Hope you enjoy your first cruise but beware it's an addiction! What ship are you on?

[SpiffyChicken]

Hi Westaussie, I'm on the Pacific Dawn in November going to Noumea, Wala, Ouvea and Vila. I'm celebrating my birthday on the cruise with a good friend, and we're really looking forward to it. My brother is a cruise addict, so I have him to blame ;)

[aussiedisneyfan]

An oldie is back. I attended counseling to cure my addiction to this site. hee hee. Certainly have cut back on my visiting here and started trying to socialise with my family. But I love this family so much too. :D

 

Oh, and it is great to see so many Canberrans on here now, it used to be me and one other.
