Couldn't agree more, I'm still debating whether to Grill or not to Grill. So much easier to go to dinner when I like but, by not dining in Britannia, I feel like I might miss out on great social opportunities.

Take a standard cabin and come join us in Britannia, you'll have a much better time!

I agree!

I just noticed we're on page 27 already and we have 17 months before we sail! How's everyone in the Northeast dealing with the heatwave? Everyone ok?

So far so good here, no power outages...yet. I heard Brooklyn was having trouble, don't know if anywhere else is or not.

I wonder if the threads are unlimited or if we'll have to start a new Christmas thread.

Anyhow, am I the only one disappointed we didn't form in time to be going together this Christmas instead of next? Then again, Nina wouldn't be able to join us so everything happens for a reason or so they claim.

Hey, (Not that they would allow me on in the first place but if they did....) I know my midwife wouldn't have minded coming along to assist me in the event of an early delivery. It's the neigbors that would have a problem when my cabin turned labor & delivery! Oh yeah, and the doctor onboard probably would have gone into a panic at the words "stand-by" and "natural". Not to mention the captain having to suddenly account for 1 more passenger. If the baby is born in international waters immigration comes into effect. But just think of the publicity for the Cunard Board!

LOL but, then you'd HAVE to name the baby something like "Cunardia"

Is anyone else planning on coming into NYC earlier than the 19th?

So if we have another girl "Mary Cunardia" would do, but now what for a boy?

Maybe something like Captain Cunardia! Just giving you a heads up that I will be sending in my booking form by Friday.

Captain Cunardia, that's cute Thanks for the heads up, I'll be on the look out for it. By the way, if you are booking the pre-cruise and need to add days just let me know how many and I will give you a price for the extra nights.

Also, just so everyone knows there are a still a few slots left in that "first 8" for the pre-cruise package to be free!

Ok I'm ready for a lobotomy... It's been a day

We all get those days, unfortunately

Nina, just a heads up, payday is Thursday for me. So I'll send my booking form no later than Friday.

Nick, I hope today was a better one for you! Just think, the weekend is not far away!

Looks like I am going to be busy on Friday, I'll be sure to clear my schedule to accommodate the bookings! Thanks for the head's up

I'm another one booking late. Can't seem to find enough hours in the day lately!

Look for my booking form then too.

Since you are all planning on sending them in around the same time, if they can be in by Saturday at say 3:00pm so I have time to process them all before the sale ends (and me have to stay up till midnight) that would be great!

Wish I was part of this group - perhaps the next Christmas sailing you offer on Cunard we'll be able to join you.

We hope you can Shelia!

(Nina ... you can expect to hear from me tomorrow afternoon. )




Hope everyone is having a good summer.

Just double checking - Nina during sale week my deposit should be around $1000 for the boiler room and I get the extra on-board credit, is that correct?

You're in the boiler room ??

Cool! I'm next door ... stoking coal.
