JaneBP Posted January 3, 2009 #1 Share Posted January 3, 2009 I promised myself I would wait until the New Year to post this. Who is joining me? I shall board in Rome on the 31st of October. Can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crystal808 Posted January 3, 2009 #2 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Happy New Year, Jane! I've got a deposit down...hopefully I'll be boarding in Lisbon for my first E>W crossing! (The price of two r/t airfares for the April & Nov. crossings makes it hard to turn down!) We shall see....:eek::D Paul ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woldsman Posted January 7, 2009 #7 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Hi Jane and all other transatlantic 11/11 cruisers.We are almost certainly coming on this voyage. We have paid our deposit and are looking forward to meeting fellow c/c members on Legend in Lisbon in November. This will be our first T/A so we will be newbies amongst you veteran T/Acrossers.Although it is a long way ahead we are both exited about the crossing having read so many informative reviews on both Pride and Legend previos voyages. We just hope that the weather will be kind to us .Cheers for now Best Regards Woldsman.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaneBP Posted January 7, 2009 Author #8 Share Posted January 7, 2009 This is terrific! Now, do we have the nucleus or a whole team for Trivia?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lefty Bob Posted January 7, 2009 #9 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Jane, count us (2) in for trivia. Lefty Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lefty Bob Posted January 21, 2009 #10 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I got a call from my TA that this cruise will be a Virtuoso Voyager Club sailing. All sorts of goodies. Choice of shore events, on board credit or credit toward pre or post packages. However nothing about improving the stock market. Lefty Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaneBP Posted January 21, 2009 Author #11 Share Posted January 21, 2009 That's good news. One thing about the Virtuoso excursions, the meals are divine. Worth going just for that. If there is a lot of walking, I just catch a taxi to the luncheon venue if it's not too far and take the bus back. I also got great news that my dear friends are joining the cruise from Rome to FLL as well. But they don't do Trivia but do play cards. That will take up most of my day, allowing time for my laziness. Any curry fans? Will have to do a luncheon, they are the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lefty Bob Posted January 21, 2009 #12 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Jane, my wife is a big bridge and trivia player. Tell your friends that they can do both. LB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorinda Posted January 21, 2009 #13 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Hi LB - can you explain about Virtuoso Voyager Club sailings? Thanks! Dee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lefty Bob Posted January 21, 2009 #14 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Dee, I am not sure but if you have taken a cruise that you booked through a Travel Agent who is a member of the Virtuoso association - then you are a member of the club. I may be incorrect and would welcome anybody that knows for sure. Lefty Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaneBP Posted January 21, 2009 Author #15 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Jane, my wife is a big bridge and trivia player. Tell your friends that they can do both. LB They don't play bridge, but another game called 'Hand and Foot. It's easy, fun, and one can chatter away while playing cards. Am looking forward to a CC Trivia Team. Dee, Bob is right, that you need to have booked your cruise with a Virtuoso agent, then you are eligible for the on board activities which usually include a cocktail party and a special onshore event. Not all cruises have these Virtuoso events however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curiousx Posted January 25, 2009 #16 Share Posted January 25, 2009 there are 4 of us...only one in the group has sailed transatlantic before (both ways!). We've all enjoyed our previous Seabourn cruises and are looking forward to this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorinda Posted January 25, 2009 #17 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Lefty Bob and Jane - thanks for explaining about Virtuoso Voyager Club sailings. Bahama Boy - will be great to sail with you again and I'm sure you will enjoy Seabourn. It will be interesting to see how you think Seabourn compares to Crystal! Woldsman and curiousx - good to have you on board! This will be only our second TA on Seabourn. We had a wonderful crossing the first time and I expect this trip to be just as much fun. Cheers!

JaneBP Posted February 28, 2009 Author #19 Share Posted February 28, 2009 I thought I would bump this up since I had a nice curry for dinner last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crystal808 Posted March 25, 2009 #20 Share Posted March 25, 2009 And another bump for jschutz... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jschutz Posted March 25, 2009 #21 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Thanks for rectifying the roll call site for me. We did a QM2 T/A from NY to England a couple of years ago - but this will be our 1st east to west on a "small" ship. We did the Legend Iberian Odessey last May so this will be our second visit to Lisbon - a GREAT city. We will be doing 4 days in Paris (wife's birthday) - then fly to Lisbon a couple of days prior to embarkation. Can hardly wait for our daily serving of caviar and champagne in the Sky Bar. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaneBP Posted March 27, 2009 Author #22 Share Posted March 27, 2009 We don't have 36 hours, but here's a good article: 36 Hours in Majorca http://travel.nytimes.com/2009/03/29/travel/29hours.html?ref=travel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaneBP Posted May 8, 2009 Author #23 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Thought I would bump this up and mention that I have dropped the crossing in favor of the Odyssey in the Carribbean in December. I planned the crossing when I was very sick and figured all I had to do was get to Trivia. Thankfully, I am in remission and have decided that I will do the Rome to Lisbon cruise and then stay in Portugal a bit and then visit where I used to live in Germany. This is TMI, for sure. I shall miss the Tug of War and all those sunny days, but the price and allure of the Odyssey seemed to call like the Loreli. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaneBP Posted May 8, 2009 Author #25 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Thanks. I will miss it too, but the chance to sail the Odyssey was too good to pass up and I can't do it all. Promise me you'll have a curry lunch anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
