2010 - cruises

[Andy F]

Reading another thread from Jerry posted earlier elsewhere has given me an idea.  If heading off on a cruise then consider posting your details here and see if anyone else is travelling at the same time.

I think this topic is a nice idea to allow the Forum members to meet up on common ground.

However for those of you who don't know already, do bear in mind that both CruiseCritic and CunardCritic offer lively "Roll Calls" where you can meet many more people online who will be on your cruise and discuss it both before and afterwards.  If it wasn't for the CruiseCritic Roll Call, I'd never have met SingleMalt Ali and therefore never got to dine in PG with her and her Mum which would have been a tragedy!

Who has any trips booked for 2010 -when and where.  Sadly no sea time for me yet apart from a short jaunt on an Irish ferry

Actually I'll be joining QM2 for a short portion of the World Cruise - from Singapore to Hong Kong.

As for land trips, my mother is thinking of a short trip to Beijing in April. And who know what trips my friends and I might plan as well.

I wonder whether any of these will lead to mini-meets of the QE2Story Forum on board various ships?

I have a couple at planning stage (not yet confirmed) -- SS Rotterdam in February, and Marco Polo in April.

Something on vikki, in October, fly to Barcelona, a jaunt around the med & fly back from Venice, (much smoother than the Bay of Biscay eachway  methinks)

[matdark]

HAL in the Med in August, unfortunately can't afford Cunard again for the moment!

[andy liney]

Minerva in April and the new QE in December.

Does Waverley count?

Does Waverley count?

Only if Cal mac Cally Isles does Rob!! LOL

To be honest cant get any excitement for any cruise....we lift a brochure then just put it down again... with no QE2 to sail on theres no incentive.......,not for us anyway,,...maybe we have been spoiled???

having said that we tried for  the northern lights on Marco Polo in March but its sold out....but arent over bothered....there are HUNDREDS of ships to choose from......too many...and not a decent one between them!

[Rob Lightbody]

I was looking at the cunard brochure and noticed that QM2 is doing a 4 nighter and a 2 nigher this year.

I started thinking about it, started doing my sums, and then realised i simply couldn't be bothered!

I sailed on the Marco Polo in 1965 across the atlantic to Montreal when she was the USSR Alexandr Puskin. I always check to she what she's still doing.
