The Crossing was the best ever ! And I've been on a few. Captain Lund is a legend. What he and his senior officers did for the crew will go down in Sea Dream II history. The party with the crew was excellent. Will it ever be repeated ? Depends how many of you book next year. As they say "what happens on the SDII x-ing, stays on SDII x-ing" How's your foot doing Ria ? Did any of you see my notice on the x-ing blog (day 6, photo 9 on http://www.seadream.com/seadrem2-europe-dcrossing-2012-day-6) ? Back on board very soon, see you there Bob !

Thanks for the link. And, yes this is our first Grandbaby. We are visiting him now in Gainesville, FL.

 

And. we just did the final payment for the crossing..

 

A little over 3 months out.... Looking forward to it.... Now that we have air, hotel, and cruise decided and paid.

 

Next step is to figure out what (if any) tours to do in Barcellona for the two days we are there before the trip. Anyone booking anything?

[dutchies47]

How was the the new grandbaby? We never do tours and explore on our own. In Hallnd now visiting family and then doing AZ with Johannes fro 11 days through Norway Like AZ bit is not SD.

We are flying from New Orleans (KSMY) to JFK... and then over to BCN on DL#94 on the PM of 10/23. If you are flying on Delta, we are probably on the same flight.

 

We are staying at Hotel Continental Palacte in BCN. Have a city tour booked on the afternoon of arrival, a Montserrat & Wine Tour on Thursday, and a Medieval Mountain Tour booked on Friday.. then onto Sea Dream.

[dutchies47]

We are flying to JFK on DL and then DL also to BCN so we will probably be on the same flight We are not big tour people and like to explore ourselves Booked a private tour in Madeira We have been there a couple of times and did the tobaggon,cablecar,botanical gardens and wanted to see more of the island Booked it at Danieltaximadeira.com and was for the 4 of us 95 Euro total and is 4 .5 hrs Will pick us up at the pier etc. Looking forward to the crossing Hope they will stop in the ocean again.See you next week

For those wondering (there was a question on another thread), the word from SD2 is that all is well. It was apparently rather rough as they were leaving Barcelona but things have calmed down and comfortable. Weather is cool but warming up.

 

They passed Gibralter a couple hours ago. No word though as to when (or if) the crossing website will be up and running.

 

There are 73 passengers with many of the usual suspects among passengers and crew.
