ging466 Posted September 2, 2011 #51 Share Posted September 2, 2011 As it turns out, I found out today that I have to go in for surgery on 15 Sep to remove the left side of my thyroid( and maybe the whole thing ). Hopefully, the left side will show no cancer and that the nodule is benign with no further action required. What a bummer! Sure hope it doesn't screw up the cruise plans. For those that think I talk too much there is a bright side. The doc said I'll probably lose my voice for a while. We are still planning to go, but time will tell. Good luck dougburns, hope all goes well. Cheers Jennifer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dougburns Posted September 13, 2011 #54 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Thanks for the info, Wes. Too bad we won't have that wonderful Grand suite this time. We could have had a couple more big parties. Guess we'll have to arrange something elsewhere with Paolo once we board. Maybe the Observation Lounge. No word on our docs yet.

aruba jack Posted September 14, 2011 #55 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Thanks Wes for the information. With this crew the cruise will be wonderful! We had Captain Sangiancomo and Fernando on our first Silversea cruise and they were the best! Hoping to meet all of you on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dougburns Posted September 17, 2011 #62 Share Posted September 17, 2011 As Wes posted, I'm home and recovering. Fortunately, the thing was benign, so I'm ready to cruise in Oct.

philipb Posted September 22, 2011 Author #65 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I returned last week from a cruise around Great Britain on Queen Elizabeth. It was good. Food, service, fellow passengers (and the weather!) all exceeded expectations. We had a very nice cabin which gave us dining in the Queens Grill so that helped to give a 'smaller ship' feel as I don't really like big ships. Now it's time to think about the Lisbon - Barbados trip next month. My tickets arrived today and so it all seems quite close now. I started this thread some time ago and according to my notes I have the following posts from fellow CC's: Colonel (Ret.) Wes - Wes and Ida dougburns - Doug & Lynn Kathyjoy - Joy (from Washington - we met on board this cruise last year) Aruba jack - Sharon & Jack Christraveller/EagerTravelerBC - Kelley & Chris Bsrkent - Barb & Steve Passportready - names unknown Conte di Savoia - names unknown If there is anyone else out there, please let me know. Last year there was a much longer list and so our leader - Jennifer from Sydney - arranged a pre-cruise get-together in Lisbon and a get-together on the ship in Stars Supper Club on the first morning at sea. Paolo the delightful Hotel Manager arranged catering for this event. It was very well attended and we all got on famously. Because our numbers are smaller this year I would suggest an informal get together - again on the first morning at sea out from Lisbon and suggest we meet in the Panorama Lounge (Deck 9 aft) on the port side from 10.30 onwards. I will be there and hope to see as many of you as wish to show up. If you need to contact me I am in Cabin 524. Best wishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare WesW Posted September 22, 2011 #66 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Philip, thanks for taking the lead to get our group together. Pls count Ida and I in, for the informal get together on the morning of the 22nd. We also got our Silverbox/dox Monday.. r/ Wes ps..good catch doug.

dougburns Posted September 22, 2011 #67 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Wes; You're a bit off, but since you're Army, I can understand it. The first day at sea is the 22nd; we board on 21 Oct. See you next week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Focused1 Posted September 23, 2011 #68 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Hi Philip, With great regret, I want to let you know that I have had to cancel my booking due to events of this past summer. I hope you all have a great time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aruba jack Posted September 23, 2011 #69 Share Posted September 23, 2011 We are looking forward to meeting all cc members on board. Thanks Phillip for setting this up. Counting the days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsrkent Posted September 23, 2011 #70 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Thanks Phillip for a good plan...Barb & I will expect to see ya'll inside the P lounge (Deck 9 aft), port side, a little after 10:30am on the 22nd. We have done our doc dancing and are looking forward to fair winds, following seas, and some great new shipmates. Best news is still about Doug's outcome! All the best, Barb & Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougburns Posted October 4, 2011 #71 Share Posted October 4, 2011 You can add Emmy Webb to the roster. She's from London and a fun lady. You'll all enjoy her company, as we do. She doesn't post on CC. She'll be aboard from Lisbon-FLL. Emmy coordinated the vow renewals for Lynn, me, Wes and Ida on the 2010 maiden crossing. Only a couple of weeks now. Look forward to meeting new friends and renewing old acquaintances. Wish we had Capt. Corsaro, but he says Capt. Sangiacomo is a good guy. Of course, we'll have Paolo as Hotel Director and Fernando as Cruise Director and that's excellent. Heard from our butler this morning and he's waiting for us. Time to start gearing up to party!!!

Rare WesW Posted October 4, 2011 #72 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Hi Doug, look forward to cruising with our wedding planner (Emmy) again :) Just about two weeks and we'll link up in London for our flight to Lisbon. r/wes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dougburns Posted October 4, 2011 #74 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Never even have to tell Gareth what I want. He just knows. As soon as I sit down the drink is there! Hope Nancy will be aboard in the Panorama Lounge and Ricardo in the cigar lounge at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conte Di Savoia Posted October 5, 2011 #75 Share Posted October 5, 2011 We will be departing two weeks from today, hoping to enjoy a couple of days in Lisboa before boarding the ship. This will be our 7th cruise with Silversea, all of the prior trips on Silver Cloud. It will be interesting to contrast the smallest with the largest. We will see everyone in the Panorama if not before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
