Mariner 3/13 rollcall

[SnoBirdCruiser]

Ragnar,That is known as hoping for the best but preparing for the worst. You must have been a Boy Scout---you know---always be prepared!!!

There must be a Lobby bar like the Crystal Cove.What time does the Mariner lounge open:confused: ? If there are a number of us they'll open for us.We can only ask--Pat.

[esther e]

Or the Obervation Lounge which I think is always open. Should we plan on that, regardless? Due to the large number of us, we may not be able to a) find enough seats, or b) hear one another outside at the pool bar.

 

Your thoughts???

[SnoBirdCruiser]

Observation Lounge sounds good to us.After all how can we talk if we're competing with music from the band? There IS a band at noon and a BBQ right? Oh I goofed :o I'm not 5'2"--that was my mother---I'm 5'3".Hey inches count when your short.Cheers,Pat and Ray

[esther e]

O.k., let's do the Observation Lounge at 1:00 on Thursday, the 15th, first sea day.

 

Here's who I have:

 

Peter and Esther

Bill

Ragnar

Pat and Ray

Dan and Sherry

Jeanne

Bruce and Susan

Piatty

 

Did I forget/miss anyone?

 

Does anyone know if Regent does nice things for the CC parties, or are we on our own?

 

Esther

[SnoBirdCruiser]

;) Ask and thou shall receive---or something like that. I will tell the F&B manager that we require a few things for a meeting of kindred souls for a 1pm get together in the Observation Lounge or you can,whoever. Any special orders? Pat

[esther e]

That would be nice, Pat. Thanks for offering. I have no preferences, but since it's all inclusive, how about a tower of shrimp, cavier, French martinis, a bottle of Dom....:rolleyes:

[BILLP1]

Esther,

 

I like the way you think...

[Ragnar Danneskjold]

"tower of shrimp, cavier"

 

I know Lady Danneskjold will be there....

[SnoBirdCruiser]

Tower of Shrimp---Doable

French Martinis----Doable

Cavier,mmmmm----Possable

Dom--------------Dream on

But hey,nothing ventured,nothing gained.Cheese and crackers would do as long as the Grey Goose is chilled.:D Pat

[Ragnar Danneskjold]

If no caviar is provided, I'll probably spring for an order or two (but Lady D. will probably eat it all, so be quick and watch your fingers, lest Lady D. mistakes them for blinis...).

[want2Ctheworld]

I am new to the board, and i will be on this cruise!~ Sea you all there!~

[esther e]

Welcome! Would you and piatty like to share a name with us?

[want2Ctheworld]

My name is Eric. I am really looking forward to my first Regent Cruise! :D

[SnoBirdCruiser]

Welcome Eric. :) This will be our first time on the mariner as well.Looking forward to meeting you at the Observation bar.1:00pm on first sea day:D Cheers Pat and Ray

[esther e]

Less than 2 weeks, but who's counting?????;)

[SnoBirdCruiser]

Woooooooo Hoooooo!!!! Picked up our documents today.God but they're heavy.Still trying to pick dates to eat in alternative dining rooms.I still liked the main dining room,Compass Rose ,the best.We'll be in St Barts for my birthday and wonder where the best(meaning ambiance) is to eat.Anyone any suggestions?

:confused: Pat and Ray

[BILLP1]

Your Birthday and St Patricks Day in St Barts . Sounds like a good reason to celebrate...

[SnoBirdCruiser]

I'll drink to that.Think they have green beer there?:p Pat

[esther e]

And my two granddaughters -- 3 years apart, but same day. And we're not even Irish! Instead of green beer, I might spring for a margurita.

[SnoBirdCruiser]

I'm not Irish either. Hey Margarita's are a pale green and martini's have green olives:D Pat

[esther e]

:D Let's raise our "green" drinks!!!!! A little nip of whatever is a MUST on the 17th. Agree?

[Ragnar Danneskjold]

Anyone interested in doing a tour of the engine room? I've heard this can be set up, as well as tours of the galley and the bridge.

 

I think you sign up at the main desk.

[esther e]

I'm on a cruise to get out of the galley! But the engine room sounds good!!! Seriously, Peter thanks you, Ragnar. He will sign up.

[SnoBirdCruiser]

I've done the galley tour on the Voyager last year.It was part of the Cordon Bleu cooking class.Fantastic tour.I'd like to see the engine room,bet its as clean as the galley and IT was pristine. PS they keep the liquer and the caviar locked up at all times so no sampling, sorry Lady D.:) Pat

[esther e]

Ratz. Likker and cav should be available at all times, like coffee, dontcha think????:p
