Hello_Sailor

[quote name='serendipity1499']Hello Sailor...

First of all welcome to Cruise Critic...I just came across your post & unfortunately no one has seen it..The reason your post has not been seen or answered, is that you posted on the "As You Wish Dining Thread" which is a stickey & not often read..The thread you posted on is only about Dining on all HAL ships...I doubt that you will find anyone on your cruise there..

However there is a way to look your cruise up:

May I suggest that you go on to the Roll Call Boards:

[URL]http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=86[/URL]

Then Scroll down & click on the Noordam Roll Call:

[URL]http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=316[/URL]

Then you will have to click on the date of your cruise...Since you don't mention a date I can't help you there..You will find many posters on your particular cruise..Don't know if any of them are Aussies but go through all the pages...

Hope you see this & are able to follow the directions..

Cheers....Betty[/QUOTE]

Thank you for your advice and for finding my nearly 'invisible' posting Betty.
We will have a look at the threads that you recommended.
Our Cruise starts from Rome on Noordam on 16 August, 2011 for 20 days...probably too short a period, but it should be a lovely cruise.
Cheers, Les...

Great to read all the comments in here...they gave me a heads up on what to wear on our forthcoming cruise.

 

It will definitely be miniatures and tux..

 

Cheers, ;)

[FONT="Century Gothic"]G'day,

It is good to read some of the advice contained in these posts. I wonder if there are any other Aussies who will be aboard for this trip when we sail in [B]Noordam[/B] in late July around the Med.

We are really looking forward to the trip with a little time in London and one week in Rome before the cruise followed by another week in London and returning to Australia via Penang for 5 days, to unwind on the way home.

Looking forward to meeting some of you long term HAL sailors... I used to travel Grey Funnel Line, but have now retired and am looking forward to the relative luxury of HAL, although it is gunna be hard to control my urges to wander onto the bridge or down into the engine-room etc....!

Cheers for now from flood-bound Queensland, Australia. ;)[/FONT]

Thanks for the great job you have done with the photos Joanie...we enjoyed looking at them.
