Kiwi Kruzer Posted July 14, 2010 #726 Share Posted July 14, 2010 I now have a much greater appreciation of how clever all you "followers" are, as well as your levels of patience. :) More often than not its luck.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi_cruiser Posted July 15, 2010 #727 Share Posted July 15, 2010 More often than not its luck.:D That’s so true :), you just have to look at the web cam at just the right moment, and sometime you get a good shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MMDown Under Posted July 15, 2010 #728 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Does anyone know which blogs are remaining and whether any new ones are starting? Haven't seen any recent updates. Southampton was probably a big day. How do you find them unless someone tells you? BTW Luck to some, but a wealth of experience to others! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Australian family Posted July 15, 2010 #730 Share Posted July 15, 2010 it is all down hill from here so they should go faster LOL.... Hi Joanne Have you seen the email today from one of the large cruise booking agents here in Australia offering guests the chance to win $10 000 obc by booking a cruise on next years world cruise? On top of that you also get $4000 obc. Princess must be keen to sell cabins! $10 000 would buy a lot of drinks. Leanne:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare MMDown Under Posted July 15, 2010 #739 Share Posted July 15, 2010 My Atlantic initiation was an unforgetable experience, with ropes tied across all lift wells etc. so you could hold on as you went past, so you didn't fly across the ship. Everything was roped down, after furniture and the piano lifted. And I didn't get seasick. My last TA was like a millpond, yet I knew people who felt seasick at the slightest ripple.

Gaznjo Posted July 15, 2010 Author #740 Share Posted July 15, 2010 this is my second attempt at posting this... the first time we had a blackout mid sentence and now the power is back... I have posted the link to this guys video's before, but I thought it appropriate to share again.... this video is of the crossing of the atlantic with the QE2 and queen victoria in tandem... rough ... did you say rough LOL.... hmm just one thing did anyone notice that the ship is going left to right at the begining and then goes right to left towards the end.... am I missing something here... but that can't happen can it LOL.... joanne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazzaw Posted July 15, 2010 #745 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Can we please change this conversation?? We will be sailing from Southampton on 15 January - so our first introduction to an Atlantic "crossing" (North to South) will be in the Northern Hemisphere winter!! :eek::eek: Although -- it is the luck of the draw on the day . You can see here why they are making hard work of it right now.
