I also hope Nadya can join uskeep your casr ready Hats

And so say all of us. She didn't think that she would though as all flights are fully booked this week now. She must be totally gutted. Let's all hope for a small miracle.

We have been invited to the two night cruise on 22nd April 2010. This is before the naming ceremony. This is because we are Elite members of Captain's Club.
Got free car, parking gratuities and drinks in the package.
Will be leaving Southampton before 8.00 a.m so will miss the traffic trying to get in.

Thats cancelled now isn't it? Did celebrity phone you and manage to get you into the naming ceremony on Saturday?

I hope Eclipse gets back in time for Saturday, and is spruced up and prepared for the naming party. When I was on Azura for her naming it looked like a lot of prep had gone into the naming - boarding over pool, setting up lighting etc etc, its going to be hectic to tidy up after all these 2000 people get off who are collected from Bilbo.

me thinks that i recall you saying you were a T totaler, or am i mistaken?

Aah but you've not accounted for the fact that I'm on the two days prior to you and there will be a shortage ...........Threshers is only a twenty minute walk from the docks though.......Wilba

I think "Dan Hanarhan" might take exception at being called " Hanratty" I think the latter James was quite notorious, thouge eventualy proven inocent.

Just seen a local TV interview with Celebrity's BWC Dan Hanratty.
Eclipse sails 7pm tonite from Southampton for northern Spain, to pick up stranded Thos Cook & TUI tourists.

Don't know whether this will screw-up your bash, fingers crossed for you that she'll be back in time. Ferries take about 36 hrs e/w.

Weather latest for Saturday

Southampton 16C and sunny

Having read some of the previous posts are you saying that the free cruise the 2 days before us is cancelled?

I hope the naming ceremony cruise is not cancelled as I have booked a suite at the De vere the night before on the cheapest (non refundable) tariff, that is if you can call it cheap.

Me thinks Peter is pulling your leg there...........The drinks are free the whole of the time you are onboard in all bars.........Wilba

It's ok Wilba, I know - we are simply both pulling each others legs!!! But thank you for the information anyway!

QUOTE:

I very much doubt that we'll make it. Our flight was booked for tomorrow morning but there is such chaos and all flights are fully booked all week
THAT'S LIFE !!

Oh how awful Nadya but there is a glimmer of hope that flights will restart soon so once again, fingers crossed - we don't want to miss you!

QUOTE:

hope you all really enjoy yor weekend onboard, have a drink for me (oh so jealous).

wishing you safe journeys and great weather x

Thanks Helen, hopefully your turn will come soon!

Southampton is going be very very busy on Saturday. The Sun Walk, Eclipse Naming and all the other cruise ships going out that day.

For the first time we are taking the coach from Glasgow to join the Grand Princess and my OH is extremely pleased that we are not driving as we usually do.

Hope the weather holds and it's a great day for all concerned. Sorry not to be meeting you all, but as I've said before, look out for me waving from the GP around 5pm.

Well, what else will you be doing?:D

Apart from eating, drinking and having fun, I will be learning how to insert 'chattering classes' and 'we want a badge!' in my posts!

Just learning you understand, not actually giving up eating and drinking time or anything like that!!!
The bus is an excellent idea and I hope you both have a wonderful cruise! Bon Voyage!!!
