bepsf Posted November 3, 2005 #552 Share Posted November 3, 2005 ...have you and Ralph decided to come to HAL? I think it's a great idea that you'll be able to visit family before or after the cruise - I'm planning to do the same and see my sister in VA, probably post-cruise... (Gotta give the kids their souvenirs!) We have lots of private parties planned - including a CC Bon Voyage dinner party in Manhattan the night prior to sailing, dinner parties and luncheons in the Grill Room, etc - and as you know, the Caribbean is wonderful in February! We'll get to see the naming ceremony and I'm sure NYC will put on a grand show for the inaugural! There will be special commemorative souveneirs, celebrities and dignitaries aboard, etc. So far, there are at least 4 gay men coming that I know of - if you and another couple that I'm working on come along, that will make 8 of us plus the 18 or so others from CC that are booked... Personally, I'm looking forward to standing on deck bundled up in my cashmere with a cocktail toasting Lady Liberty as we sail away from NYC. BTW: You know I left WF. Studying for my real estate license now... :D Beav? Andrew? You guys wanna bust out the steamer trunks again and come with? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazerboy Posted November 3, 2005 #553 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Would love to, but it's a little close to my Spring TA, and I'm still a workin' gal, so .... Sounds great though! Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tedson Posted November 3, 2005 #554 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Brian, if you sell real estate like you sell people on cruising, you'll be a big success :D No, I didn't know you had departed the Farg...I'll miss our little inter-office email chats :rolleyes: Ralph is doing an obligatory trip to visit his folks in NY next month, so not sure he'd want to go back east again that soon. And I think my manager is doing the Dawn Princess 10-day SF round trip in February so I wouldn't be able to get the time off. But I really do want to try Holland America someday :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gails95608 Posted November 5, 2005 #555 Share Posted November 5, 2005 we just booked this- are any of you thinking of going? also, can you reassure us- our ta says sailing out of san francisco heading north is very bumpy and we need to take seasick rx. (we took crystal from vancouver to san francisco memorial day with no problem.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaerobear Posted November 5, 2005 Author #556 Share Posted November 5, 2005 We have sailed many times out of SF north to Vancouver/alaska/etc. it is not rougher than any other cruise. Ed/Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tedson Posted November 5, 2005 #557 Share Posted November 5, 2005 Gails...ditto what aerobear says. We had rougher seas in the Caribbean last month than any I can remember out of San Francisco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaerobear Posted November 6, 2005 Author #558 Share Posted November 6, 2005 Speaking of "rough seas" has anyone sailed from FL to Brazil? Was it a rough ride or smooth like most other routes? We leave in about 40 days and were just wondering. Ed/Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazerboy Posted November 7, 2005 #559 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Gail, we did this same cruise on Princess two years ago, and did the reverse for six days this Fall. Both tinmes were vbery smooth. We'd like to do this one, too, but have a few others booked for '06, so we'll have to wait until the last minute to see if that works out. I think BruceMcDou is on that one, though. Andrw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRCruiser Posted November 10, 2005 #560 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Hey guys: Just found out that the Queen Mary 2 will have its Maiden Call in San Francisco on February 4, 2007 as part of their "Around the world in 80 days" sailing. The ship will overnight over here and will depart on the 5th. Beav: haven't posted for a while but have been following your thread about the Spirit. It is like I have always said about NCL: there are so many corners that you can cut to save money before you can actually notice it. However, NCL has gone way beyond that line and you can tell that all they want from you, as you said, is every dime you got! Andres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blazerboy Posted November 11, 2005 #562 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Just put the fourth of Feb. on my calendar, as I, fates be cursed, will not likely be on board! We can work out details later! Good idea, Brian. Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like we will be cruising transatlantic with you soon Blazerboy! Regards, Floris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazerboy Posted November 14, 2005 #565 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Floris, Thought you'd posted once that you might be on the TA! Great! Also, I use the photo you took (think it was you) of the Infinity under the Bay Bridge pre-drydock as my screen saver, so thank you for that! Check out the roll call if you want- seems like a good group. Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFOflyguy Posted November 19, 2005 #568 Share Posted November 19, 2005 Hey guys, Just thought I'd say hello. New to the group and always looking for new friends/travel companions. If anyone is interested in setting up a time to meet for a group happy hour/coffee etc, count me in (and if I'm in town, I'll help coordinate)...Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tedson Posted November 20, 2005 #569 Share Posted November 20, 2005 Hi Ken, welcome to the group. The "East Bay Contingent" has met for coffee twice, but the last get-together on your side of the Bay was back on Pride Parade weekend, so I guess we're overdue for another. Are you still going on the Disney Cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFOflyguy Posted November 20, 2005 #570 Share Posted November 20, 2005 Hey Ted, Thanks for the welcome. Yep, I am sailing on the Disney Magic on the 26th, with my brother and his family. Fortunately, I do have my own cabin to escape the madness. Keep me posted when the EB guys get together again, I'd like to meet you all.

aaerobear Posted December 12, 2005 Author #572 Share Posted December 12, 2005 I was wondering that myself, a friend said it was "HOPE" but it does not look like that. I need to drive down there and do some snooping. Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aaerobear Posted December 13, 2005 Author #574 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Brian, I meant the SS Hope, the hospital ship. It was in port a few months ago as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digby Posted December 13, 2005 #575 Share Posted December 13, 2005 The ship in dry dock is the Paradise. It is sitting beside the old Independence which has been there for many months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
