Thank you - DB wanted to see if he could organise a darts tournament.

You can probably hear me sighing relief that there is no dart board!

My husband Richard is 36 and also works at a different hospital. His main requirement for a holiday is that there are places that he can walk to avoid cabin feaver.

This is Richard's first cruise, and my second, although the first was a school trip on a ship with the decor and facilities of a cross-channel ferry!

We have been married four months today, and we are so looking forward to spending time together.. work is such an inconvenience!

We are flying from Manchester to Heathrow then on to Houston... at the moment planning on arriving on 16th May to allow us time to recover from the flight, and possibly to go to the Space Centre.

At the moment we haven't booked our return to Manchester from Barcelona... it's looking like it could be expensive as it's the end of the UK half term holidays.

so excited to be joinging you all!

Welcome and congrats on your marriage! If you are intersted, we stil have two spots open for the "adult" tour in Gibaltar.

wow, you could be gold for the equilvant of the 15 day Hawaiian! Still would rather do Hawaii than 5 3-day Caribbean cruises even if not Gold

The British are coming, the British are coming...lame, I know but that's what popped into my head when I read your post and I couldn't help myself

I have finally got around to updating our website with the pin trading event details.

Please see below link to let me know if you wish to attend.

Also, please let me know if I haven't picked the best place for it or if you have any suggestions on how to make it better

Thank you!

My DB is a keen photographer and is wondering if anybody would be interested in a photo walk around the ship on a sea day or evening?

I won't bother doing a whole page and poll for it on the website yet until I see if there is any interest

Boo! Okay, done venting now.

From what I read on the CC website, they used to do it that way....and I'm with you, I wish they'd go back, but as usual, Disney benefits those who live in Florida most.....

We are still silver too, total of 32 nights, but only 4 cruises. We'll have 6 soon as we're doing a b2b over spring break, that will add two, but not in time to make a difference for this booking...

I (or we) would be quite interested in this. I seem to remember someone on this cruise took some great shots on the Magic, they might be able to share some ideas?

Welcome to you both, so glad you've decided to join us!

Too many exciting things to do to get cabin fever. The days will fly by all too fast.

Looking forward to meeting you both on board, alas because of kids school we won't be flying in until the morning of the cruise.

I'll let him know - he will be over the moon when he knows someone else is interested

Maybe my DH and your DB should get together....he'd be thrilled to attend/help/take pics.

My DH would be interested as well, he loves his camera! He just took a photography class and is trying to learn settings and such.

Oo what camera does he have? I think I will set up an event then. DB is really looking forward to sharing and swapping tips etc!

He's got a Nikon D4 and another Nikon that I can't tell you the model of...maybe a D600? Hahaha

Oh, yeah.....they could probably spend hours.... :rofl2:
