Noordam Maiden Voyage Cocktails & Dinner

[Ziggy7]

Ziggy, "bepsf" Brian is handing the Martha Stwart taping. See past posts on the "Roll Call" thread. We won't find out for sure until after January 20th.

 

Cheers

Thanks, I have an email into Brian about another reason, will wait til he returns from where ever he has been and then check in with him, Thanks! You all are wonderful! :)

Ziggy7-

 

Okie Dokie, tell Mom & Dad that we will be sorry to miss them. Hopefully we will be able to coordinate a Pinnacle Evening Onboard!

The Servers for this site WERE very slow today. I feel your pain.

This is a long shot, but you look so familiar.....are you by any chance related to my "honorary Uncle" Walter Murray?

I thought it was worth a shot....

Hi All,

 

We are excited about the Noordam inaugural too. My husband and I are bringing our daughter and his parents, so there will be 5 of us. Yes, it was incredibly expensive, but inaugurals don't come around that often, and Feb. 22 is my 40th birthday, so we splurged.

 

I hope to see you all onboard. Unfortunately, we won't be able to make the dinner on 2/21, because we are driving up from VA on 2/22. It sounds like great fun though.

 

Take care and hope we all have a wonderful time!

Mary--

 

Welcome to you and your family!

Please join us on the Roll-Call boards for party planning and other chatter!

 

By the way, where in VA do you live?

My Sister, whom i will be visiting after the cruise, lives outside Richmond in Quinton

[Cruiser Mary]

Hi Brian,

 

Thanks, that sounds like fun! We live in Vienna, just outside D.C. We moved from Chicago just over a year ago, so I don't know much about Virginia yet, except it's pretty and the weather is mild. Hope your sister likes it. Williamsburg is nice too. Cruising is always better though. We are on a cruising string now that started with Thanksgiving (Crystal Harmony), then Christmas (Zaandam), and now, my birthday in February (Noordam). My boss is about to put an end to it though!!!

Looks like you've cashed in the family farm this year - Good for you!

 

Did you say that you're driving to NYC?

Amtrak has great prices on trains from DC straight into Penn Station which is a short cabride away from the pier. Since I'm going south after the cruise, i found fares to Richmond for as low as $69/person!

Dont know how that compares to driving and parking - but might be worth a look?

 

Looking forward to meeting you aboard!

Vic--

I havnet received a note from you to set you up w/ the group for late seating, have I?

[RevNeal]

Vic had BETTER.

And, Brian, if you need me to I can try to secure some help in scheduling a group table (or group tables) from the manager of Ships Services. I'm sure your TA will be able to handle it, though ... it seems like a pretty straightforward matter.

[bepsf]

Thanks Greg - if it becomes an issue, I'll certainly let you know!

[RuthC]

:confused: :D

Aw, Vic. That's so sad. :( Ca'meer let me give you a hug.

Feel better now? :)

[Ziggy7]

:confused: :D

Poor Vic, no your not dirty silly! Just incase stay away from the water or you'll be mud hehehe :) Hugs !!! ;)

[JimandStan]

Ziggy-

 

You are so darned sweet! Why don't you join us for dinner, on the 21st, even if you aren't sailing?

 

Brian- Glad to hear that you are back to your old self! The flue is a B#@^(*D this time of year!

 

General- We will be forwarding our Hotel info on Tuesday of next week (Paris is getting us a FAB Hilton discount ;-)

[JimandStan]

General & Mrs. Max-

 

I've been posting this in threads all over, trying to let everyone know that we will be at the Waldorf Towers.

I'm thinking of joining you for TOTR, after Martha, if I can still get tickets.:confused:

I will let you know

[JimandStan]

I've been thinking......what should we do to identify fellow CC'rs once we're on the ship? Should everyone wear a yellow scarf, or, perhaps a yellow rose in our lapels?

(I picked yellow, because the CC logo is yellow!)

:p

How about a GREAT BIG neon sign, flashing "Cruise Critic!"

[General Max]

I will have my blue and yellow cruise critic hat on
