And boy do I have a lot to report...ship, ports, people, adventures. Be prepared! I'll post the link to the new review here once I actually get started.

Hi Carol,

Oh noooo!!!! Poor baby. How did you do that? How long do you have to wear a cast? I've already started to sort out the first pictures and I really promise to hurry up especially for you.

 

Stef

[tadleycruiser]

Thanks no cast just a sling. I was looking after my mum and was walking back from dropping of shopping for her neighbours and slipped and fell back landing on elbow. Today is my other halfs birthday and I have spoilt it. It was fun seeing how my 16 year old wrapped the presents.

[barbienj]

Just saw this, thoroughly enjoying it!

Stef, You are such a tease.

 

I am looking forward to joining you and the family on your cruise so please teach Tarik how to do the laundry and all your other chores so you can start your review. Please, pretty please.

[Sailing Grandma]

I check every morning to see if the link to your next review is posted :)

Hi I came across your review whilst reading Melissa's review from her comment in there about the Panda cars that she saw :). Thank you for all your hard work in the write up and I'll look forward to reading your latest review soon. BTW I have a white 4 1/2 year old Panda car called Pip . He's so much fun to drive :D

[Kreuzfahrtneuling]

Sorry for the delay everybody...got sick:(. Nothing big, but fever and the most gigantic headache imaginable...lol gained 2 kg during the cruise...lost 3 kg now because of sickness...I'm quite the happy camper:D. Just started the new review! Be my guest!

Yay!!!!! Not yay on the sickness, sorry, hope you feel better. Running over to the thread now.....

[tsahall01]

Whewwww!! Took me 2 days to read your review from start to finish!! Great report. I am taking my first MSC cruise in 2 months, so looking forward to your MSC review--off to a good start. After reading this one, don't know how I'll handle the cliffhangers.:eek:

 

I so totally enjoyed the stories and background and meeting your family. I would go back to read your other review, but I'm getting big butt syndrome sitting here trolling cruise critic for info.

 

The info on Venice and Dubrovnik is very helpful. Unfortunately, I have to wait a week or two to book it as it is too far out!!:eek:

 

I, too, am a big planner (hence the trolling)--I have a file folder with a slot for each cruise port and pre/post cities.:rolleyes:

 

I'm on the Fantasia, departing from Venice and stopping in Bari, Dubrovnik, Athens, Heraklion, Marmaris, Valletta, Messina, Rome, and ending up in Genoa. All those ports in 11 (:eek:!!) days!! We have two extra days pre-cruise in Venice (at the Danieli--my husband works for Starwood resorts, so we got it for a steal), and then one night in Genoa, followed by 2 nights in Milan!

 

My DH is having a double knee replacement this coming Friday--giving us 8 weeks to whip his new knees into shape for the cruise:eek:. Gotta practice cracking my whip and becoming the cruel taskmaster:D

 

Can't wait for your next MSC installment!!

 

Hope you are feeling better!

 

Cheers! Susan

Hi Ayasha,

 

:)no worries, feeling almost healthy again. Thank you!
