Sept 18 2010 WB TransAtlantic Pirates/Capt Jacks Re-Repoing Repossession Cruise Pt.5

[orlandothebeagle]

Thanks everyone for the luck! I just got my marks and had 32 out of 60 in the mock so would have got a pass in the exam - which trust me with this one was what I was aiming for. About 50% of us got a pass with the rest failing by around 10 marks so as you can see its not an easy one for any of us!

well done

No we are late dining. We never get main/early dining. Even at home we rarely eat before 8pm so on vacation we much prefer to do the show(s) first and then dinner.

Another option to catch us in our ties is that we ALWAYS get photos taken....so between the dining seatings you're sure to find us in line for one of the photos!!

Thats like us, we eat really late, woohooo, I better be sitting beside you guys! eye candy!

pj, we are pif!!!!

and there is an M & S in Gib, don't know if it has a food hall though. I thought I might pick a few bits if it does.

Food !!!!??? Sarah, WHY would you want to go to food hall unless it was for wine

thanks for ms link, Ive saved my gift vouchers from xmas.

Im still hoping that they do start selling their food online! I took part in their survey panel over Christmas (you did online surveys on their new adverts which was mega cool - saw them before they were on TV). One of the things that was discussed was online food shopping! Really would love this!

That would be great.

Our M&S is only a 5 minute walk away, and I more often than not pop in for some food items. Just far too nice!!!

Phew! That's my last assignment almost finished for this course so I'm having a break and checking in....looks like you lot have been very chatty!

Since I don't know how to post pictures...here's a link to a thread that has a picture of the inside of the wonderful gift box given on the EBTA !

Thanks it looks great!

I was on the cruise. We had 2 formal nights and 2 semis. The confusion arose because there was a difference between the "cruise overview" sheet (which listed 3 semis) and the Navigators (which had 2). Some people did dress up on the "extra" night as we were all unsure. I compromised and wore my best "non-dressy" outfit. Free alcohol was served at receptions on both formals, not at the semis.

Thanks for the info....and free alcohol eh? sounds good to me!

I am also a member of Girls without Gallbladders!

What can I say... I am just a joiner!

Thank you! I'm hoping so! This time next year I hope its all going to be over and Ill look back and be very calm about it all! Just got to get through 3 exams in May and nother 3 next year and its over!

Brilliant, well done Sarah!
Good for you!

That would be me ..... just send me a PM if you want to link late dining. I am not really doing a spreadsheet as I am not that techy ... it's more of a list.
Sounds like we need to wait until after 75 days

Must get round to sending pms to all the people doing the lists!

and there is an M & S in Gib, don't know if it has a food hall though. I thought I might pick a few bits if it does.

Oh that's a good idea!

OMG.... I just got back from the East Bound Trans and it was awesome... I went with my two friends who had never cruised before and they had a blast.... well to make a long story short, guilt set in that my dh and by 2 dd's didn't get to go, so now we have re-booked for the September return...

I am very EXCITED... I also have almost all of the navigators from that cruise so if anyone wants any information,,, I'll be glad to share.

My crew: DH - Peter, me - Denise, dd- Jessica 12, dd- Kimberly 8

This will be my 10th cruise
My DH's 9th cruise
and my dd's 8th cruise.

We also did the Trans in 2007 (the return) and so everyone is so looking forward to this trip.

Hope to see you all there.

Welcome aboard!! I would love to hear more about your perspective of the EB TA. I am Noel 59 and my DH is John 66.

Just my thoughts.

Does anyone know if the Morrisons in Gibraltar is actually the Safeway on google map?

Where most tourists go to get their duty frees. Better prices than main street for cigarettes. Alcohol is generally more expensive than shopping around in the Main St. area.

After much speculation at the time of Morissons' take-over of Safeway, the company have now re-affirmed their commitment to Gibraltar. The store is currently undergoing refurbishment works as the last remaining Safeway store to be re-branded as Morrisons.

Note that all prices in Gibraltar are in Gibraltar Pounds (equivalent to Pounds Sterling) though Euros are generally accepted at the prevailing exchange rate. Change will almost always be given in pounds.
This place is a building site.

Yes, sarah, i thik it must be.

 

[MrsMork]

I wonder why we put an 's' on the end of maths?

The full word is mathematics, which has an 's'. Is the US word mathematic without an 's'?

it is mathmatics here also, but we shorten it to just math. Silly Yanks!

Marks & Spencer. One of our best stores with branches in just about every big town.

Fantastic food shop, and I buy most of my clothes there. Famous for supplying most of the Country's undies!!!!

So we will need to plan on checking this out.

Hello Newbie question....

Whats all this "link Dining" all about???

SW

SW, by linking our reservations we will be on the same dining rotation and be seated in the same area of the restaurant. A great way to get to know lots of DIS friends better. If you are early dining send an PM to me and I will add you to that group, if you are late dining then PM TotallyAngelic.

That's what I thought too, Marilyn!!

 

[granmaz]

That's what I thought too, Marilyn!!

She is going to need a dedicated walker after every alcohol tasting me thinks!!!

 

[tig82174]

This is AWESOME!!! I hope that we get to see them all!!

I am hoping for the larger number of formal and semi as well. Moslty because my son (13) will actually dress for this!! Its fun!! Now I just need to find DH and DS matching tie/summerbunds sets... Where does one get these?

You can get them on ebay with a decent selection and at reasonable prices.
