Great to hear you enjoyed Canaletto as much as we did.:D

"would you please pass the veal." Thanks.

Maybe that's a white truck alongside the Noordam.

[FONT="Comic Sans MS"][SIZE="3"][COLOR="Navy"]The veal is now on your dinner table! Yes, we enjoyed it once again (1st 3 times on OSDM last summer). Heard there's a rumor floating around here that they're making you "share" with strangers; Huh?[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

White truck - or just headlights?

I'm sorry - could you explain the white truck reference? :confused:

[FONT="Comic Sans MS"][SIZE="3"][COLOR="Navy"]Line handlers/longshoremen in PE drive white pickup trucks (as opposed to places like Castries, St. Lucia where they ride bicycles. You see a truck in the pic, letting go off her lines might be a real possibility[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

White truck is used by the line crews. Usually a good sign that lines are soon to be dropped.

Well, DWs flight just canceled... they flew an empty plane from ATL to MCO for the flight from MCO to RDU and then couldn't find a flight attendant... so now have to go get her and can't watch the sail away... :(

Have fun all! Good to talk to everyone!

[quote name='aliaschief']It's there but when you search Above and Beyondyou have to click Austraila. New Zealand/Pacific and the 36 day is the last one on the page.[/QUOTE]


ahhh - thank you - I will play with ours in 2015 ;)

That's great for you - I have a couple of people trying to crack my armour and lure me on this one:eek:

Now you will have DW to snuggle with on a very cold Florida evening.:D

[quote name='0bnxshs']We may have to cancel our P'dam booking for November... we just don't have any luck with our FCCs... we've still yet to use ours after 2 bookings and cancelations. DWs company may be nixing any vacation September thru November of this year due to ICD-10 compliance (Mrs Chief will know why!). If so, we will get to book the Ocean Princess for a December TA that I wanted to begin with as she stops at Gibralter and is longer than the P'dam cruise.... so keeping my fingers crossed! ;)

Maybe we'll hear Noordam yet with those nice whistles from SS![/QUOTE]

[SIZE="3"]Oh what a shame! I know you are a fan of the Ocean Princess though - so thanks to you, it's one Princess ship I have kept my eye on ;)

wishing you both the best in the New Year and hopefully the cruises work out![/SIZE]

[FONT="Comic Sans MS"][SIZE="3"][COLOR="Navy"]Btw, just walked in after having had to go back to LAX to pick up a bag that AA messed up last night

Why is NODM late today?[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[quote name='0bnxshs']I hate the idea of sailing by and missing it.... hmmmm might have to look at the Noordam sailing too. It's something I've always wanted to see.[/QUOTE]

Our Maasdam "Atlantic Adventurer" next year, also stops in Gibraltar on the way home - 2 African stops on the way to Europe. It looks really interesting.

Are we still on for 1900? I was in the kitchen working on soup thinking I had one more hour but then I remembered the time difference.

[quote name='aliaschief']OK-Just rebooked our Auckland cruise and was able to get Above & Beyond OBC along with Future cruise credit. Above and Beyond worked for us thanks to our wonderful PCC.[/quote]

Did you book a specific stateroom?

Is, were you able to rebook the same stateroom?
