Thread: BRILLIANCE OTS - TRANSATLANTIC -14th April 08

Pulease - don't remind me about packing. Still shopping like crazy - the Ralph Lauren stuff here is so cheap!! Unbelievable.

I did try to upload a photo on here - without success - for some reason, I never manage it!!!

Anyway, you will hear me before you see me, probably!! Two little ol' ladies with British accents - won't be too many of those on board. Rule Brittania etc.
We will see you on board - I will find you, no worries. After all, how many Gail and Tom's will be in a suite on the Brill?? Detective Roz will be on the ship and within two minutes will have found you.

Roz....is Sundet Captain for the TA part too? I thought I had heard someone else was taking for the TA part and then on to the dry dock in Germany.

Spycruiser....we've only just recently "met" Roz online but have corresponded via email concerning sharing transport to London. She and her Mum have graciously invited my wife and I to split a taxi/mini-van from Southampton. She's a refugee from another cruising message board where some people apparently have no sense of humor. Perhaps this is the "dark side" referred to.

We are very much looking forward to meeting the "two ladies" on the TA. As my intro posting probably indicated my wife and I are relative cruise novices but are quickly figuring we will probably make this a regular thing after our youngest (daughter this time) gets married in 2009. Got the two sons married off last year. So soon we will be true empty nesters with college and wedding expenses behind us. Cruising looks like a way to meet fun people... like Roz.

Last I heard, Capt. Sundet (Petter is Better!!) is taking us to Southampton. Possibly not though - things are quite fluid at the moment with RCCL Captains.

However, it matters not - as long as its a tall, handsome Viking!!! Even ladies of a 'certain' age like the eye-candy - especially in the white uniforms!! Some of them are truly a feast for the eyes. What say you Char?? I won't tell the Bobster if you agree!!

Just hope he likes baking cakes!! My aim is excellent!!

Ha! You are wicked, Roz! I've seen some eye candy in my day.

Quick post...sorry I still use that other site way too much.

Had an email from Roz aboard Brilliance and it is in great shape, service and food excellent, and the 2ladies are cleaning everything up so it sparkles. Petter Sundet is driving.

We are getting very excited to get down to Miami and get onboard on Monday. Meeting the 2Ladies will be nice too. Biggest worry right now is chance of heavy snow tonight and tomorrow that (along with maintenance issues) may delay our flight. At least so far ( ) Northwest has not been harassed by the FAA's sudden attack of dilligence. Then again the pilots may strike due to the NWA/Delta merger plan going forward without the pilots agreeing on seniority first. Never a dull moment!

Thanks for the update!

I certainly hope nothing slows down your departure for Miami! Are you flying in before the cruise or the day of? Lots of folks have been "inconvenienced" by the airline problems........hope they get them fixed pronto!

Tell Roz hello from me. You are gonna have fun with her and Clare. Enjoy your cruise and be sure to report in from time to time.

Mr. Sequim88,

Please tell Roz and Clare we are very sorry that we didn't get in touch with her before she cruised. Gail became very ill (nothing contagious), which unfortunately, we had to cancel the Panama cruise portion. I would appreciate it if you would send her an email of that fact. If she'll give us her cabin # I will be able to call her when we board next week. Thanks Tom
