Sorry for the mispelling. That's the second time I did that.

 

QueenK2, this trend concerns me. In past years the roll calls were filling up by Spring. At this rate, we can have our meet and mingle party in a row boat.

 

The june 16th sailing of Navigator is till looking for fellow passengers to help us plan transfers and shore excursions

Our roll call for 8th Sept is also very quiet :(

 

I think this might be because a lot of the passengers will be from UK/Europe and CC isnt so well known this side of the pond ...yet.;)

 

Hopefully all the sailings/roll calls will pick up soon :D After all we are all going on a beautiful ship.

February is coming to a close. Another month and soooo little activity at our Roll Call. This is a ship that hold 2 to 3,000 folks. Hopefully a few more have discovered cruisecritic and the Roll Calls. If you are sailing on Navigator on June 16th, come join us at:

Not meaning to be rude but it is Southampton....all one word.....you might have problems getting map directions etc if you spell it incorrectly...and we wouldnt want you ending up in timbucktoo.:D

 

Hi Liz

 

We'll be on the 16th June sailing and will give you a guid Scottish perspective upon return. I've got a wee problem at the moment and was looking for advice. You're probably aware that BA no longer flies from Glasgow to Southampton. This isn't a problem on the outward journey as we always fly down on the Friday and spend a night in Southampton. Our problem is the return journey. Flybe (who have taken over the route) have 2 flight times-8.55am, which would be great, and 17.45pm, which would be rubbish!

 

We will be Diamond by the end of this cruise and we are in a suite. The ship is due to dock at 5.00am. Do you think we have any chance of making the 8.55 flight? I know we can have a taxi standing by and it's only 25 minutes to the airport, but disembarkation worries me. Hopefully we'll be allowed to take our own luggage off.

 

Any advice from you or anyone else would be greatly appreciated.

 

Regards,

 

Alan

Oh heck Alan....that sounds like a risky flight to try to get.:eek:

 

Although the ship will dock at 5am...I would guess they wont start disembarkation until around 6.30/7am.To be honest I wouldnt take the chance on that early a flight out...but only you can make that decision,sorry.

 

I booked my flights with RCCI...at £70 each from Inverness it is a great price and transfers are included from/to Gatwick at no extra charge...although it means we dont have a night before cruise in Southampton that doesnt bother me at all.

 

The only thing that worries me about our flights is the low baggage allowance now....how the heck I am going to keep within the allowance for a 14 night cruise is my biggest worry.

 

Sorry cant be more help....hopefully someone else here will be able to help you out.

 

I look forward to hearing all about your cruise....hopefully you will have such a braw time that you will book the Independence for next year.:D

Thanks Liz,

 

It IS worrying and perhaps we should have taken the Gatwick option, but with the baggage restrictions, Aileen likes to have a day's shopping in Southampton for toiletries and a few extra pieces of clothing which can be dumped after the cruise......we also have a Travel Inn about 100 yards from the airport, so everything is really handy. Hopefully the nice people at Customer Relations will help (especially if we book next year's cruise onboard like we did last year).

 

Thanks for your advice, and don't forget to book the white water rafting in Vigo. It's the best excursion we've ever been on!

Hello,

Myself and my wife will be on the June 16th sailing,travelling down from the North-West of England the day before and staying in a hotel on the way down to Southampton.

As elizanessie has said this board and its cruise critic meetings is not that well known over here and this could explain the slow sign up rate for the meeting.Will add our names shortly to try and bolster the group.I also know of another couple from another forum here in the U.K. and I will try and get them to sign up as well.

Sorry grumm but I cannot help you with your flight question.In the past we have used B.A. Connect and the timings were more convenient than FlyBe's.It is unfortunate that B.A. Connect's service is not available and may stop us flying down in future.Maybe FlyBe might introduce a more convenient flight timing in the near future.

Like you we will be Diamond after this cruise.

That's all for now,I will pop in from time to time as the cruise gets nearer.

Iain

Can I put a word in for the July 14th sailing, please ? As Karen says, our roll call is practically non-existent - I think it's because so many Brits will be on board and not enough of them have discovered these boards. This will only be our fourth cruise, but it'll be the first where we haven't gotten to know people beforehand...............and we're shy..........................!!!!:o

Hiya, Liz and Alan, by the way - nice to speak to fellow Scots.
