Roll Call: Queen Mary 2 17 Nov 2009

[otcsteve]

Caribbean Delights out of New York or the Caribbean Medley sailing Nov 11, out of Southampton.

My partner and I are delighted to finally sail on the Queen Mary 2 and were wondering if there are any other 'family' or FOD who are also sailing on those dates?

Always looking for new cruising friends!

Hi guys - we're booked on this one - this will be our first on QM2 - last Cunard was QE2 TA Dec 91 westbound.

Glad to hear you are going to be on board. So far a pretty quiet listing. We'll still have a great time! Anything special you plan on doing on this trip?

Hi Guys,

I'm going solo on the TA - other half is not into ships as I am - he's meeting the ship in NYC. We've been bareboating in the Caribbean since '79 so we've been to all the ports except Panama and Curacao - just got back a month ago from the BVIs (Tortola). Planning on doing the Panama Canal Railroad and train on St Kitts. Romney Manor on St Kitts is not to be missed (home of Carib Batik) , as are the Baths (Virgin Gorda/Tortola).

Hi Octsteve - there is another thread on this forum for this crossing - Crane

Hi guys

 

You can add another 2 to the list of 'family' on the Caribbean cruise. I did a TA in May with a mate of mine, and was so taken by the experience I've convinced another mate to come along in November. I think you'll love the QM2 and I can't wait to get back onboard!

I'm the other half of otcsteve. We are very excited and looking forward to meeting all of you that have posted. We need to find a way to meet each other. Let's think of a soon so we can meet once we get our bearings on ship!

Glad to hear that there will be at least 5-6 of us aboard. Perhaps we could set a time/place the first night out? Especially since we don't know if they will have a Friends of Dorothy or a GLBT 'meeting' scheduled. We have 2nd seating in the Brittania, I know we sail at 5pm EST, so maybe around 7ish to meet at Sir Samuel's or the Golden Lion?

You'll love the train in St. Kitts, did that a couple of years ago. And we are also doing the train in Panama, the vintage 1930 car. Been to all of the places before, the draw for this cruise was QM2 herself! Never been on, and everyone we know is JEALOUS!

Any thoughts about meeting?
