JaneBP Posted August 30, 2009 Author #76 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Any of the pre-crossing cruisers, who are boarding in Civitavecchia, interested in arranging a private car tour to Rabat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lefty Bob Posted September 1, 2009 #77 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Just got a call from TAP Air. The flight from Newark to Lisbon on Nov 9 has changed from non stop to Lisbon to one stop in Porto and then to Lisbon. New arrival time in Lisbon is 9:30am. The flight leaves Newark at 7:35pm. This is for anyone going over 1 day early. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crystal808 Posted September 11, 2009 #78 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Well, 2 months out, and I'm already anxious! :) Promised myself I wouldn't check my GTY status for at least another month...:eek: Any word(s) on staff, crew? Sky Bar-tender? Hope everyone has a nice weekend! Paul ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lefty Bob Posted September 22, 2009 #79 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Any more for this crossing? I think I saw that ame1993 was joinng us. Getting closer. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crystal808 Posted September 22, 2009 #80 Share Posted September 22, 2009 I swore I wasn't gonna check until at least a month out...:eek: But I checked my room assignment a few minutes ago...and it's done! Can't believe it's 7 weeks out and they've assigned my GTY! And, the upgrade fairy was very, very nice to me this time...from an A gty to a B2, up front on deck 5! Wonder if the deck 5 whirlpool gets used much on crossings??? (Guess I'll find out!) Now I'm really getting excited! :D Paul ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curiousx Posted September 27, 2009 #81 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Inspired by Crystal, I just checked our cabin assignment. It's a balcony (B3)...quite a pleasant step up from the A guarantee that we booked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaneBP Posted September 29, 2009 Author #82 Share Posted September 29, 2009 FYI: If you are in Rome on 10/30, the Teatro della Opera is doing 'Tannhauser'. (That's one of my favorites), so I am psyched. Got the ticket though an agency in Chicago. Now I wonder if the opera has 'super titles' and figure if they do, bet it's in Italian.

crystal808 Posted September 29, 2009 #83 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Did anyone else just get a second set of "final" docs? :confused: As nice as the new box, holder & tags are, I'm surprised that SB sent what amounts to a duplicate mailing when I got my "original" "final" docs a month ago or so (in the black SB bag...)! Oh well...6 weeks(!) + one day...but who's counting? :D Paul ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul ;) No SB black bags for us but our TA has advised that docs the have arrived in 4 (!) boxes. I haven't seen them yet but 4 seems like overkill.

I haven't seen them yet but 4 seems like overkill. I now have the boxes...there are two, not 4 - one for each cabin. The folders and luggage tags are excellent - really like the magnetic clips as they are so much better than the typical snap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jschutz Posted September 30, 2009 #86 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Received the "Box" last week. I think SB has done away with the black cloth bag - the new packaging is a welcome addition. The countdown has started - we actually leave San Diego on 11/4 for four nights in Paris - then fly on to Lisbon for two nights before embarkation. I can taste the caviar and champagne now! Bon Voyage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lefty Bob Posted October 2, 2009 #87 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Got my Docs.:) Preparing the packing list. What to take.:confused: Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jschutz Posted October 2, 2009 #88 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Well, as I read it, three formal nights so dress accordingly unless you will be dining at "2" on those nights. Sport coat and slacks would probably do on the rest of the evenings. The day attire is under question - depends a lot on the weather - pool/sun attire? Perhaps someone who has done the East to West T/A crossings can give some idea of the "average" climate and clothing attire. I will bring at least one pair of shorts but let's face it, nature will takes it's own course and we should just be "flexible". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeeJay11 Posted October 3, 2009 #89 Share Posted October 3, 2009 We have also received our documents - we get them a little later in Canada - and everything is in order so now we are really excited to be back on a Legend crossing again! We have done six east-west crossings on the Legend and the weather has always been warm and beautiful with almost no rain so we are counting on this again, and with Captain G-A as our Captain, he will navigate us around the rain to make for a perfect cruise!! :) These crossings are truly an escape from the world - a heavenly break - with nothing but great service, pampering and sheer enjoyment all day long. Its making us smile just thinking about it. CeeJay (Carol) & Wally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got our cruise docs today and we're still a GTY, but looking forward to it none the less! We're getting in late on the 9th but considering a day trip to Fatima -- has anyone done this in the past? Cannot wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lefty Bob Posted October 14, 2009 #100 Share Posted October 14, 2009 ame1993 You are added to the list. Our one day in Lisbon we had a car and driver to Fatima. It was very good, weather was great and very few tourists as we went early. Came back by the sea and had a wonderful lunch over looking a bay. Sorry, I don't remember the driver or the resturant.
