Woo Hoo!!.. Luggage Tags are here

Just received the luggage tags from RCCL.
It always makes the cruise seem closer when they arrive. Just 4 weeks to go, and funnily I'm really looking forward to it, even though it's not the most exciting destination we've been to.
Then again the ship is wonderful, probably my favourite ship.
Definitely my favourite RCCL ship. Normally a great atmosphere, and if Joff Eaton is still CD we'll be guaranteed some really good entertainment.
His progressive quiz is something to behold, probably the best quiz on the high seas.
Btw, we've booked the Travelodge at Eastleigh the day before the cruise so we will have a nice relax before we board. It's a smashing location, only 20 mins drive from Southampton and it has a Harvester restaurant and a lovely pub as part of the complex. So a leisurely drive down on the 12th a nice meal and then a couple of pints then bed. Just about the best way to start a trip.
Anyway just going to get a coffee and watch Match of the Day....God it's a hard life.

Travelling Companions

Just found out that two couples we met on other cruises are booked on this trip. Ken and Margurite who we met on our Hong Kong cruise in March 2010 and Mike and Liz who we met on our Christmas & New Year cruise in 2010.
It will be great to see them again, we had a ball last time on both cruises.
What a small world this cruising community is :-)

RCCL US Guest Relations

Once again the US office of RCCL guest relations have come up trumps. I had a problem with some missing OBC that had been promised to me. One quick email to Adam Goldstein's office and the problem was quickly sorted. I would definately suggest th
at if you have any problems with RCCL get in touch with the Miami office. They have been very helpful, far better than the UK office IMHO.

First cruise of the New Year RCCL again

Well we've booked our first cruise of 2012 and we're going with RCCL again. It's on the Independence of the Seas to the Canaries. We've done the trip a few times, but at this time of the year unless you go long haul it's just about the only place you'll get some decent sun IMHO.
Also after this trip we will be Diamond Plus with RCCL (don't worry I'll still speak to you all....LOL).
Anyway we sail on 13th February and as usual I'll keep you informed of anything that happens. (I'm writing this as if someone is going to read it....how sad...LOL)
