elviso Posted December 1, 2011 #2 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Hello Everyone, I'm a first timer...planning a cruise for next year on the Carnival Spirit out of Sydney in October. Is anyone else planning to go on this cruise...or maybe have tips? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjf000 Posted December 9, 2011 #3 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Next cruise is Trans Atlantic & Baltic Sea on Princess Emerald departing Ft Lauderdale 26 April 2012. CC and the roll calls are a great starting place to interact and learn from others doing the same cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmond James Barry Posted December 23, 2011 #8 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Edmond Barry Prefer Princess cruises (almost Elite) aged 73. Travel with wife similar age.

Rare Kinkacruiser Posted December 25, 2011 #9 Share Posted December 25, 2011 I'm puzzled as to the purpose of social groups. As there is no interaction, wouldn't a roll call thread do a better job ? You can only access your groups via the user panel, so I suppose it's more private. Yor thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewelzy Posted December 26, 2011 #10 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Just returned from NZ on Celebrity Century. Great cruise, loved NZ and can't wait to go back again. Celebrity Century is a very comfortable ship with great staff that just love to serve you. Hubby really loved the Hamburgers from the poolside grill...great afternoon snack after returning from being ashore. Murano specialty restaurant was unbelievable. Merry Christmas to all and Happy New Year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreyFunnel Posted January 1, 2012 #15 Share Posted January 1, 2012 G'day Everyone and Happy New Year! I thought I should join this social group and start off by wishing you all happy travels in 2012. It's going to be an exciting year for all of us, I think. Debbie, Edmond, Wendy & David, and Mary-Alan must almost have your bags packed for your February sailings, followed closely by Buranogal in March. Then Anna, Phillip & Gail depart in April, while Shenya gets married and sails on her wonderful honeymoon cruise in June. Then, Jasper50 and Larry & Liz leave in July (we'll just miss you in Europe), as my wife, Diane, and I leave Oz in September for 3 months in Europe. We're taking the advice of Judi & Rick, who recommend Celebrity, and we'll be sailing on the brand new Celebrity Reflection, from Venice to Barcelona, after we've done Jasper's cruise suggestion with Scenic Tours (on their new Scenic Crystal) from Budapest to Amsterdam. Finally, we wish Elviso a happy brithday cruise in October. Not sure what's happening in Europe, from a financial perspective, but let's hope it doesn't affect us in a negative way (like fare increases or cancellations!!). Anyway, all the very best for 2012. Regards, "GreyFunnel" (Chris & Diane, and our avatar, Billy Bob - who always travels with us). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roses 44 Posted January 2, 2012 #16 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Happy New Year. Cruising on the Volendam from Sydney, 31st January 2012. As I have a perfume allergy, I am looking for some people to meet and join for dinner (Free Seating dining) who don't wear perfume, or who would be willing to delay applying their fragrance until after the meal.
