Guess what, Ian. My husband is an old guy also and I do not play either. He also likes to be active. Sounds like a good match. I'll call you once we are on board and you two can meet up at the basketball court (deck 11 aft). Decide what would be a good time for you.

Safe travels,

Ian, does your wife play cards?  Marian

Hi Marian

We are in cabin 1291. Just to be clear, my wife can't play. Her ankle won't allow that type of exercise. I am an older guy, but in pretty good condition, and I love to be active. Tell your husband to be gentle with the old guy 😀.

Hope to hear from you soon

Ian

Hi, Heide. My husband and I are to be on this cruise. Would love to meet up with you and your mom to play cards. I am in your mom's age bracket. My husband enjoys playing cards also. We don't have our room assignment yet, but when we do I will give you our room # to be able to be in touch once on board.

Marian

Hi, Heide. Our room # is 7419. I will be in touch once on board. Safe travels, Marian

Howdy, my best friend and I are also going to be on this cruise and love to meet new people and play cards/games! We are both in our mid-late 30s but age is just a number!

Hi, SwellBee.  We will soon be onboard. It is very exciting. I will be in touch once I scope out an area suitable for playing. It looks as though there will be four of us. Could I please have your room #? We are in 7419. Safe travels,  Marian

Hi 

 

I didn't realize they would have room for pickle ball. I would play if the time worked out. I am not a regular player, but always like to have fun.

 

I had booked this cruise some time ago, but just realized that I hadn't looked at the roll call

It's right around the corner now. 😀

Hi, Nic 6318. Thank you for your reply. Pickleball is played on the basketball court deck 11 aft. We will check on this when we board and I will call you with info. Is your room # 6318? Ours is 7493. It is my husband, Jack who plays.

Hi. I would be delighted to include you and Richard. I bring 6 decks. As with most games, there are variations on hand and foot. I'm sure we will have no trouble adapting. I also play golf but understand there are different ways to play. We will meet on deck 10 near the Lido. I understand that there is a small bar in that area.  I will contact you closer to our sail date with more information. Thank you for responding.  Marian

Is anyone interested in playing Pickle Ball? My husband, Jack is interested and bringing his paddle.  Marian

Hi, HeideB.  We are in room 7493. Please contact me when on board. It looks as though there will be four of us - perhaps more. Please send me your room #.  Marian

Looks like I am now traveling solo.  Still want to play cards!  Any other solo travelers on this thread?  Am in room 8372.  Looking forward to meeting everyone!

Hi, Travels247. We are in room 7493. I will contact you when we are on board to plan a meeting place for card playing. It looks as though there are now four of us to play. I am looking forward to meeting everyone.  Marian

My friend Richard and I love to play hand and foot and many other card games.  How many decks are you bringing?  I know everyone has different rules and we are flexible as to what they are.  We also play a game called golf....love spades....etal.  We like to find a place that is close to a bar since we have the drink package!  lol.  This is my 112 cruise, so we normally dont even get off the ship in most ports.

Hello Everyone, This is Heide and Kevin Bradley joining this cruise and excited for it to get here soon. We would love to meet some new cruise friends to play card games or other games with.

Is anyone interested in playing Hand and Foot? I am bringing my cards and I understand there is a good place to play card games near the library.

Marian

Hi, we are Jack and Marian from PA. We are looking forward to exploring this magnificent ship. Is anyone interested in pickle ball, mah jongg, hand and foot or canasta?

Where are you parking in Bayonne? Is there a more reasonable facility other than the cruise port?

My husband and I are frequent cruisers on multiple lines. We usually tip (cash) our cabin steward and main dining room staff in addition to the gratuities which are automatically charged to our account.  Does anyone know if these hard working individuals actually get to keep this cash?  Or is it pooled and distributed across the board?  If, so, does the cruise line automatically receive a percentage?

Roberta

You are right, Gordon. We will be on the Equinox. Thank you for the correction.

You will love the Eclipse.

Marian
