figgysd Posted August 12, 2012 #1 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Hello, just wondered if anyone is booked on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pralientje Posted August 12, 2012 #2 Share Posted August 12, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you have a great crossing, we are hoping that our ship is not full but will have to wait and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pralientje Posted August 13, 2012 #4 Share Posted August 13, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sailor without a boat Posted August 24, 2012 #5 Share Posted August 24, 2012 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sailor without a boat Posted August 27, 2012 #7 Share Posted August 27, 2012 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgysd Posted August 28, 2012 Author #8 Share Posted August 28, 2012 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 Posted August 29, 2012 #9 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Yes I agree, I was there in my youth and am very much looking forward to going back.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgysd Posted September 19, 2012 Author #10 Share Posted September 19, 2012 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sailor without a boat Posted September 19, 2012 #11 Share Posted September 19, 2012 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!
