Great photo and congrats on the banner!

Well thank you CarrianneB.

Any plans yet ?


We need to start promoting some organization here, and considering that you have seniority in cruising and defenetly in DisBoarding I guess you have the upper word on this. What do you think ?

I found this thread tonight and it has lots and lots and lots of info on Med Cruising.

The first post dates July 12th, 2006, and it runs for 85 pages. I told you it had lots of information !

But it does have quality information. So if you have the time I recomend to read it.

The thread beguins with the following question by Kissimmee:

"We want to do a layover in either Paris or London and were wondering if Orlando - Paris - Barcelona - Orlando will be cheaper than RT Orlando - Paris and a separate RT Paris - Barcelona"

It gets really good after that, so here's the link and thank you to all of those great tips:

The thread is called: The Med Thread - All Sailings - Mediterranean

Hey there - just giving ya'll a bump back up to page 1! I started a website for my little merry band...I put a link on my meet thread. Debating about adding it to the first post so more peeps can follow it... I probably will once the other peeps have a chance to look at it & proofread it. I got a good bit done so far...but have lots more in my mind that I want to add.

 

[MRAven]

My most sincere sympathies to all of those related to the tragedy in Chile.

 

[MRAven]

I would like to get some oppinions on which is best at dinner time while on the cruise: First Seatting or Second Seatting ?

My personal experience has been only on Second Seatting; this are my reasons:

1.- DW and DD take for ever to get dressed !

2.- More time to stay at ports or shore excursions.

3.- I'll be so much hungrier, therefore enjoying much more dinner.


For this Med Cruise, I've also booked Second Seatting but like I said would like to hear other oppinions.

 

[Anal Annie]

Well, I am full of opinions so I'll give you mine about the dinner thing. We always eat late dinners at home (rarely before 8:00) and are even more inclined to eat late on vacations. We hate to cut our days off to stop to eat. And on the cruise, having early dinner means rushing back onboard from whatever excursion you were on to shower & change. I always feel bad for those people who have to pack up & leave the pool at 4:00 or 4:30 so they can be ready by 5:30 for dinner - BUT it clears the pool area out so I can have it all to myself. And another thing is if I eat THAT EARLY then I am definitely going to be hungry again by like 10:00...so I would be looking for those late buffets...can we say CALORIES!? Ummm...don't need those!! I definitely do not need 2 dinners slung around my waistline!!! Finally, especially important to note on these Med cruises is that we have 2 ports with onboard times of like 9:00 pm. These are going to be LONG days...and I fully expect that we will be trying to make the most of our time on land in Naples & Rome and could possibly miss dinner altogether - that would be even more likely with an early dinner seating.

I am already wondering how early we'll be able to find out what night will be formal night, semi-formal & lobster night! Since the 7 night Meds will be new I think it's going to be hard to plan for Palo etc. I just hope formal night is not on the Naples or Rome nights. We may plan to do Palo brunch on our sea day instead of a dinner this time. It would require less packing as it would be a little more casual than dinner and it would eliminate me trying to decide which night...And if I can't get a slot for brunch maybe we'll just skip Palo. We have never done the brunch but I hear it's quite good. But it is usually only be available on sea days & since we only have 1 it will book up quick.

SO. There ya have it. My opinion is for you to stick to the late dinner.

 

[CarrianneB]

We love late dining. We have plenty of time in port, don't need to rush through dinner, and usually we aren't hungry enough for early dining. We tried early dining on our last cruise and are moving back to late!

 

[MRAven]

Well, well; late dinner for reasons exposed so far sounds better.

But remember, at least 50% of the cruisers on each ship have to dine earlier.

I did notice while booking cruises that unless you state otherwise they autometically place you on first dinner. So, for all of those that are a little bit like CarrianneB, Anal Annie and myself ensure to request second seating; don't leave it untill boarding.

So far 3 - 0


Here is something to consider:
At what time is sunset during summer time (August) in the Mediterranean ? You may not want to miss it !

 

[Anal Annie]

We are definitely booked for the 2nd dinner seating. I would pitch a real fit if they tried to put us on the early one! Sunset is when it is. We usually have at least our smaller camera with us at all times on vacation so if it's sunset time I would leave dinner for a minute to run out on deck to check for a sunset shot. Animator's is the only restaurant without windows so we would be able to get an idea of what was going on outside from either Parrot Cay or Lumiere's.

 

[CarrianneB]

I agree that you need to ask for it - but one time I did and was told it was booked full!! I eventually got it, but that gave me incentive to request at time of booking every time.

 

[MRAven]

lol

Don't forguet the late afternoon snack they offer by the pools if you happen to be on the ship. Ice cream, chocolatte chip cookies, hot dogs, burgers, pizza, wraps, expresso coffee, etc.

If you are in the early diner, you can't enjoy them as much other wise you won't have any appetite.

British people may call it Tea Time !

Here's another question:


Who thinks this fellow is kind a creepy ?


If you ever see a business man dancing like that make sure you take the first exit out !

Just one of the dancing guys isn't as creepy at that "TVGuy" who has like 10 of them in his siggie!!

Your new siggie pic looks good...
