****Live From the Golden Princess****

[T&J]

Actually Stacey, we prefer about 7:00, though at home we usually eat between 6 and 6:30. That's why Personal Choice works so well for us on most occasions, but of course on ships like the Pacific and Royal, you do have to make a committment.

 

Arlene

 

Actually Stacey and Arlene I am more of 7:00pm to 7:30pm person as well.

But I had to make a committment and Arlene was pointing a gun at my head!

[T&J]

You are addicted. Going to an internet cafe????

 

Ok, my treadmill time is over and I didn't even have to wait one minute. Imagine that. :)

 

What is the cut for this cruise's most travelled luncheon? Let's see if we can make the cut this time.

 

Coffee/breakfast awaits. Later.

 

Arlene

 

Actually I think you have easily made the cut off from what I know thus far...there isn't that many Elite's like on the Pacific Princess. I believe the cut off is 18 cruises on this one. I suspect on the next one to Egypt we would have way more Elite's than on this one.

 

I just came back from treadmill #8 for one hour and there was no wait...EMPTY as usual so I think I'll be sticking to this time in mid to late afternoon. Perhaps in the morning it's a zoo upstairs for all I know.

Tony, you've got me laughting so hard I had hardly type!!!

 

Gotta go now and spread some rumors on roll call about the great Champagne and Caviar party you're throwing...

 

Vicki ;)

 

I'll do this much...I'll spring for cheese and crackers platters and hors d'oeuvres...order the Champagne and Caviar at your Own Risk of being billed for it! BTW, I like Beluga Caviar with my chilled bottle of Veuve since you're ordering!

18 cruises? Piece of cake!

Can't do workout in the afternoon; too disciplined. Must be early AM or I won't do it at all. Milt is already lining up for #8; wants the TV under his nose.

We'll he can have it if I stick to my mid afternoon routine, but then again I won't be able to know whether it's a "cheese day" or "egg day" for you!

LOL.....there are not too many people in this world who would know that. Or remember it. I am impressed and laughing hysterically.

Arlene

P.S. Today was a "cheese day."

[treesah]

Arlene and Tony: Please enlighten me. What's a "cheese day" as opposed to an "egg day"? Or is it a private secret that you're not willing to share?

[T&J]

We'll what a busy afternoon and evening thus far. Got back from teh gym and showered and came here to post and went back upstairs to my Suite and waited for Sue and Stan to arrive at 6:00pm for some Wine and Cheese. I had asked the Head Waiter in my section after coming back from ashore taht I forgot to fill out a canape card and that I had two guest coming for 6:00pm adn if they wouldn't mind arraging just some cheese and crackers for the 3 of us if it wasn't trouble.

 

I got a knock on my door at 5:55pm and this guy shows up with a plater fit for a 30 lb turkey with about 6 different assortments of cheese, grapes, crackers, frsh cut strawberries, kiwis etc...the palter was more for like 10 then three.

 

We enjoyed the sailaway from Corfu on my balcony and watched the sunset go down as the Oceania Nautica had left first.

 

The view was amazing as we sailed past Old Toen Corfu and the fortress.

 

We went to dinenr at 7:00pm and had a magnificent meal. they served us teh same seafood appatezier as they served me the other night followed by a plater of deep fried calamari with marinara sauce. They then made us a special spagetti in pesto and olive oil with chiles and a greek salad to finsih our meal. The bakalava for dessert was served warm and it was so fresh.

 

I am now so stuffed and ready to go to the "Office"

 

I forgot to mention the restaurant I ate at in Corfu was "l'etoile bleu" ...blue star and had a nice salad and pan fried red snapper with a glass of Greek white wine and walked back to the ship by 2:45pm.

 

We are making our way to Katakolon very slowly and thus hardly any motion. We are scheduled to arrive tomorrow morning at 7:00am and depart for Athens at 5:00pm.

 

More to follow later tonight from the Godlen Princess heading for Katakolon, Greece.

I always said you had great taste!

 

Let's see how things go at the Office and then I'll let you know if it's Beluga and Veuve or just fish eggs and Spumante!

 

Vicki

[JotWorld]

Don't like Domino's. Can you make it Pizza Hut or Papa John's instead? :D

 

Arlene

 

I LOVE PIZZA!!!

 

A & T, you know I haven't even got to the Pizza Parlor this trip:(

(but I plan on making up for it on the 2nd Leg)(&in/on Rome/Golden later this month)

Anchovies & Sausage - My Fav (I even carry a can of Anchovies, with me when going out for Pizza, in case they are out of them) A Pizza w/o Anchovies is like a Day w/o Sunshine.:D

Arlene, You like Anchovies, Don't you?;)

Tony, 100 Anchovie & Sausage Pizzas anytime, as long as you're paying:D

Have a good night at the office. We're heading out soon to an early Halloween party; starts before it gets dark. Oh yes, we're dressing as Princess cruisers. :)

 

Arlene

 

That's the Same Costumes Irene & I wore last night:D :D :D Bill

[JotWorld]

Stacey, same here...I don't do the shows but rather go to the "Office" Javier does ALL the shows or a movie and then comes and finds me in the "Office".

 

 

Speaking of the "Office", it was pretty dead in ther last night and I would have expected for Halloween that it would have been "rocking"....Oh well more $$$$ for me....I did quite well!

 

Tony

 

Tony, It's Only the "OFFICE":D to you, as you Make Money There & We Don't, that's why it is the "Casino";) to Us.

 

If Fact I'm going to start Calling the Internet Cafe the "Internet Casino" still IC ;) , as I lose more Connections than I Win, & so does everyone else!:( Maybe you can tame it, Tony?:confused: Bill

[JotWorld]

Did you mean tonight ( your morning) or at any time during your thread? I was the one who said Envy would be envious when she hears about your OS. ( post #60) I wouldn't miss your threads for the world. I enjoy cruising vicariously with you on all your cruises. Thank you for letting me come along. Good Nite!

 

Mary

 

Hi Mary,

Hey Tony, I Noticed we're getting on the Same Ship when you're getting off twice(Golden 11/29/06 & Pacific 1/10/08) & of course staying on the Pacific for 58 Days when you get off in Tahiti? Am I avoiding you or are you avoiding me?:D :D :D My Best! BIll LIVE on the CORAL(Leg#1)

Not Even My World(Cruise)?

 

Bill, If I could afford the world cruise, I wouldn't have to cruise vicariously with you and Tony. I'm lucky we're able to do the 7-12 days ones. Well, can't really complain....we're going on our 3rd cruise this year in 3 1/2 weeks. A 5 day one on the Carnival Elation. That keeps me happy! Nothing like the cruises you and Tony take.

Mary

[JotWorld]

I am having a great thank you! Glad you are enjoying my postings. The luncheon I believe is being held the only sea day we have which will be 2nd day before disembarkation in Rome. I am anxious as well to hear what they will be doing for her Wet Dock. The wet dock has just been moved now for the Golden to remaijn in Civitavecchia for those 7 days.

 

Tony

 

We'll we on it 11/29 right after you, & I hope they do it right!:) Looking forward to your update after the Luncheon!;) My Best! Bill LIVE on the CORAL

[T&J]

Just got back from the "Office" and it was a complete "push"...didn't make a thing and didn't lose a thing either!

 

The Casino was pretty much dead tonight as well. There was no one anywhere on the ship even in teh Dinning Rooms as well.

 

I am just goingt o go upstairs now to the Horizon Court and get some light to eat and then BED!

 

We arrive tomorrow morning in Katakalon, Greece at 7:00am.

Hi Tony,

 

Carol and I have finally got our feet back on the ground after spending 13 days in South Africa. Did all the sights in and around CT for four days. A very beautiful part of the world. The Blue train up to Pretoria, your kind of style, simply ultra first class. Then off to Kruger for a 7 day safari which was an experience of a life time. Spent a couple of days around Joburg and came home via Zurich. I miss my office instruction but am doing my best to put your advice to good use. Dropped into the Niagara Casino the other day with some fairly good results. Hope to catch up with you soon.

Hello Norm and Carol...that sounds like it was a trip of a lifetime. I had so much fun on that Bangkok to Cape Town cruise with you and the others. It was really nice meeting you both and hopefully someday I'll be able to sit down with you and give you that "promised blackjack lesson".

 

Take Care
