If you're still accepting suggestions for the Inaugural for London, I'd like to add Brown's Hotel to the list of candidates.

This is a wonderful boutique hotel located in Mayfair

This one looks great!

Glad you all like my suggestion of Brown's Hotel in London. It is a lovely hotel and always my first choice when in London.

So are we going with Browns Hotel?

Hopefully the location is great!

I won't be able to say for sure until we have dates to give to the hotel and find out if they can accommodate us.

I guess no further information yet on the new QE. I thought by now they'd release something, granted we're still two years out but, they start promoting Oasis of the Seas early. I figured Cunard would do the same with the new QE.

Ok gang, what hotels do we want? Close your mouth Nick Yes, I'm conceding and coming along even though we have newbies with us. I'm not missing this for anything or anyone!

HA! I KNEW you wouldn't be able to resist!! Just face it Andy, you do like us!!

Patrick, it isn't the "regulars" that concern me but, even the type that turn me off will not stop me from booking this one. Trust me, it isn't our regular gang at all, it never was...

I know Andy but, I have to have some fun teasing you a bit!

So as long as you're here, hotel suggestions?

I'll hold to my past suggestions:

London:

Brown's Hotel - http://www.brownshotel.com/
The Savoy - http://www.fairmont.com/promo/savoy
The Langham - http://london.langhamhotels.co.uk/en/
The Landmark - http://www.landmarklondon.co.uk/

Southampton:

De Vere - http://www.devere-hotels.com/our-hotels/grand-harbour/the-hotel
Hilton - http://www.hilton.co.uk/southampton
Marriott - http://www.marriott.co.uk/hotels/travel/sougs-meon-valley-a-marriott-hotel-and-country-club/

Personally my vote is for either Brown's or Langham for London and De Vere is the ONLY way to go in Southampton - Just my opinion

2 nights London, 1 night Southampton is still the plan, now that I have dates and soon a head count I can start approaching hotels. Devere is the choice for Southampton, London will depend on who out of the recommendations can accommodate us the best.

Wow, I better get my tail going - Nina REALISTICALLY suites are going to be gone in a heart-beat. What are the chances of getting a Princess Grill cabin? And, no that doesn't mean I am taking one, I just want to have all options before deciding.

That makes two of us Nick!! Nina, I will get my booking form in over the weekend and my parents better make a decision fast. So right now we're one cabin for sure, maybe two.

I'll be looking for your form Patrick, we of course want you aboard!

Since you are a past passenger and I'm "Nina on the Spot" the chances are good

You are the BEST Nina!

Nina, I MAY book through you, correct? And, given our time zone difference, may I fax my credit card info to you?
