Lars, I hope you make it to Malta this time!

We are so excited about cruising with you and your friends. Let's hope for good weather. The time between now and the cruise will go quickly.

Char, We are hoping so too

We had a nice adventure planned the last time.
This time we are only staying 7 hours so I think we might do a ship tour
Not that I have started to plan or anything

We are excited to be cruising with you also. Its going to be a fun cruise for sure.
We are not keeping the same cabin as on the Nov. 6 sailing. "A"does not want a D1 aft cabin in case the weather turns bad. I guess we are looking at a Hump cabin either starboard or portside.
I asked which side was the best on another bord and apparantly the starboard side faces the dock more often.
You have gotten yourself a nice cabin in a nice location. The cabin next to yours in available but I seem to remember you are not particularly keep on cigarette smoke and we are smokers so I will choose another location No problem there.
What we really are aiming for is a suite garantee category to become available. If its a good deal and we get assigned a GS or above we will take it, if not we will stick with a D1.
Time will tell right As of now the D1 are priced at $1529,- pp minus Platinum discount, so not to bad at all.

We already know we will be taking the train this time from where we live to Barcelona. We are going the day before and will stay at the same hotel we used last November. We are not staying overnight after the cruise but training straight home.
What more do I know so far??? yes, Egypt. We will be doing a private day tour from either Alexandria or Port Said to Cairo.
I have had this cruise booked for over 6 months now Its been booked, canceled, rebooked and re-shuffeled.

lets hope many others will join us on the Roll Call. I think I know where to find them

The time until the cruise will go quickly

I have made the first cabin change already We are still in a D1 but now we are just aft of the hump, the balcony is bigger.
Lee, we are just a few doors down from you.
Still waiting to see if Katie has kept her aft cabin or if she has changed also

Here is a photo of the Brilliance of the seas, starbord side.
Can you see you cabin???

Great shot of the rooms. Is that deck 7 above the life boats? If we are upgraded to GS we will take it. Otherwise we will stay where we are. You got a really nice price on the cabin. Can't wait to meet you and your friends. Thanks for the consideration but if you or Katie want to grab the room next to us please do. The smoke will not bother either of us. I used to do 2 packs a day and there are times I actually enjoy second hand smoke.

Deck 7 is above the lifeboats. The Grand suites are to the right of the hump and Owner sutes to the left of the hump.
Thank you for the offer but ow I think we will be staying put. We are only 3 or 4 cabins down from you. Where Katie has chosen her cabin I am not sure of yet.
