Star Flyer T.A Oct 2012 malaga - barbados

[figgysd]

Hello, just wondered if anyone is booked on this?

[pralientje]

If you are on the Royal then I will be there as well. But I will join the ship in Lisbon on November 8. I just heard there will be 200 passengers for the crossing!!!! Full ship and not something I am looking forward to, I must admit. Hopefully there weather will be ok, so the pianobar will not be overcrowded. See you in Lisbon.

We are on the Star Flyer, leaving from Malaga on 20th October, so unfortunately will not meet you. Hope you have a great crossing, we are hoping that our ship is not full but will have to wait and see.

Sorry, should have read your message more carefully. Pity indeed we will not meet this time. Will let you know if I hear something about how many passengers there will be on the Flyer. Love this ship, travelled from Tahiti to Monaco on her in 2010! Have a very nice trip, nice passengers and good weather.

Hi Figgysd!

 

Yes we are booked on the crossing as well, is this your first time? We did the crossing on the Royal in 2010, and had a fantastic trip. We're really looking forward to this one as well! John:D

We are at the Malaga Palacio Hotel for the two nights prior to departure. We plan on taking a trip to Grenada one day and see Malaga on the other. Cheers!

[figgysd]

Ah Grenada, what a beautiful place. Malaga is also a very interesting place to explore with some good tapas bars! We arrive around 7pm and are staying at the Don Curro Hotel which is walking distance to the port entrance though depending where the ship is docked we may need a taxi unless the port authorities have sorted out the transport.

[Sailor without a boat]

Yes I agree, I was there in my youth and am very much looking forward to going back.:)

[figgysd]

I seem to remember reading somewhere that there is a dress like a pirate day on board do you know if this is the case?

[Sailor without a boat]

Yes there is, on the Royal some people made their costumes on board, but most came prepared. There is a costume party after dinner with games etc. it was a fun evening. Funny you should ask, we were just looking at what was left of our costumes last night!

[figgysd]

Have fun getting your costumes together, we shall start now and see what we come up with.

about the current Star Flyer trip from Southampton to Lisbon, on its way to Malaga.

[figgysd]

our travel documents arrived today, not long now.

[Sailor without a boat]

Yes we received ours as well. We really can't wait much longer! Will look for you on board, we are John and Jill.

[figgysd]

Yes see you on board, we are in 404. Do you know how full the ship is?

[Sailor without a boat]

No, I don't. I was on the phone with Star Clippers today, I should have asked! We are in 342.

[Sailor without a boat]

Apparently we will be almost full, they tell me there are only four empty cabins!

[figgysd]

thanks for finding that out, only a week to go, yippee!
