Hi Howard


It looks like it's the 14th ..... sorry

:-(

So far, all who responded thru email mentioned they have plans
for the night of the 13th. I'm having dinner there that night.
You're more than welcome to join me for a meal, and a few pints.

Thanks!

I'm just back from the QE2 last week and, guys, I am glad to report that she was the best I've seen her. Food and service excellent. Entertainment same as ever.

I am counting the days until 15Dec04 now, not sure what we are at though; Vic can you help us out there?

[mtbny7]

transat jon,

I hope you'll post a review!

What cabin were you in? Dining room? Ports?

24 days to go, my friend........



Looking forard to the crossing, as well as meeting you!
BTW, are you coming to London before the voyage?

If so, join us at the pre-crossing soiree.

Micheal : I will post my opinions and some photos on my vacation pics website. I had hoped to get that done this weekend but it's not looking that likely (my last couple of weeks have been a bit hectic).

Vic : From last week I live in Southampton. I don't think I will be able to get to the London pre trip meet although I would like to; I imagine I will be packing that night!

Gary B : I took a number of pics of one of the suites for you. I'd noticed you asking for specs before but I forgot which cabin you wanted when I was there, so I got the wrong one (8014).

[Gary B]

Jon - thanks!! I look forward to seeing them! Gary

I was on the Oct 21 QE2 cruise (same one as RJMS) and was in cabin 8106 (with the obstructed view). Have some pictures of the cabin we are working on now, so hopefully can get them to you in the near future.

Hi Jon


Guess I'll catch up with you on board.
Let's all have a few pints.


Counting the days ....... counting the days ........



Of course, now that it's close, the hours will drag.
And anticipation will kick in somewhat more.
All I need are my docs ........

[sfo-john]

I'm happy to say that I got my documents on Friday. I had Cunard overnight them to me after a lot of confusion. I'm heading out of San Francisco next week and didn't want to chance them no showing up before I left. I'm very excited about my whole vacation, especially finishing it up on the QE2!!

[BrianBoru]

Crossing docs arrived moments ago! The good news is we're upgraded to Caronia. The bad news is a crappy outbound connection to London. Oh well.

Counting the days and soon the minutes.

Congrats!


Still waiting patiently for mine .......
And counting the days. Have a safe trip, and I'll see you in London. If not at the pub, then on board.

cheers!

Chris


Another upgrade??

you lucky stiff!

[Vic The Parrot]

Oh yea.....


Cunard seems to be pretty generous in upgrades for this crossing. Think I'll call my TA, and ask her if there's any hope for me.

(Any hope for me....)

No comments from the peanut gallery!


:-D

[signman]

No upgrade here. Docs came today, still in cabin 2130.

[Vic The Parrot]

Hi Howard

I want to let you know that my offer of a pint, and a meal still stands on the evening of the 13th.

If you can't make it, we'll have a toast on board.
I'm in cabin 2034.

Looking forward to meeting you!

For anyone arranging transfer to Southampton on your own, National Coach has "funfares" of only one pound available from London's Victoria Coach Station. [url]www.nationalexpress.com[/url]

[transat_jon]

I am sure all of you will [size=2]appreciate my new desk here in Southampton. 11th floor in the centre looking over the docks. In the last few days I have seen Aurora, Oriana and Marco Polo (just the funnel).[/size]
[size=2][/size]
[size=2]The Cunard terminal is just round the corner so I can't see it from my desk but well you can't have everything.[/size]
[size=2][/size]
[size=2]In Edinburgh I was also looking over the docks from a similar height but here has a larger number of grand visitors a year. On the 15Dec04 I will probably pop in to get some pics of QE2 before I head on board.[/size]

Rub it in some more ......

heeheehee

I have posted on the roll call a suggested cruisecritic get together on board : 15Dec04 Chart Room 06:00 pm. See the rollcall at [url="http://messages.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=69846&page=2"]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=69846&page=2[/url] for the details.

Vic, just had another glance at the view, it's still there, so nice.

[Vic The Parrot]

Holy cannoli!!!


I'm flying to London next Saturday!
It's FINALLY HERE!

See you guys at the pub!


:-D

[Vic The Parrot]

Oh yea


Don't forget your swim trunks for the indoor pool.
It's really neat to dip your head under water, and listen to the hum of the engines.


(Another late tidbit for Gary....)


Hi Gar!
