Judy, sorry but I fell asleep in my chair with my laptop...well, in my lap yesterday.
The Radisson hotel has not gotten back to me yet. So I will go ahead with the Atlantica job. This way I will have an open door at both hotels which will be good both for me and "A" in the future
Yesterday I had 2 phone calls for potential buyers for my plot.

I really need a car SOON. Its very strange to be without. I dont like taking the bus and its hard doing the groery shopping when we have to carry it home We sure get exercise enough I miss the freedom a car provides.

This is the prices for Star Princess from Seascanner which we know is for the German market and does not need to reflect the price in the rest of Europe:

ALSO I spoke to a Norwegian TA this afternoon and they told me they book Princess with the prices from the US webiste!! i.e. I pay in US dollars BUT they will not honor a price drop. Not for princess and not for RCI, Celebrity either..
So I suppose I will wait to book until the price has gone down a lot I have seen prices for Princess in October/November for around $700,- (inside of course) balconies for $1000 or something WHICH in Norwegian Kroner is alright actually!!
I guss for my future Celebrity/RCI cruises I will still use US agents!!

Oh and one more thing We are down to smoking only 5 cigarettes per day now I or we rather never smoke a full cigarette but maybe 1/2 at a time or 3-4 puffs and then we save the rest for later!! I like this metode
I will stick to it. We bought some nocotine gum the other day and we bough felt sick from them. We got nauseous after chewing on them after only a few minutes!! Horrid stuff

Hi Lars

I am having major issues today on here This is the worst it's been.

One thing for sure, don't book using Seascanner for Star!

If we can hang in there, I know there is going to be a sale or discount promo for Star in November, I can just feel it If I'm wrong and it doesn't happen, we'll discuss re-evaluating this whole Star cruise due to the pricing being so very expensive

Hmm, maybe we should go to an off topic area or back to the BOTS thread just in case?

Well I'm not sure if this post is going to make it since I can't really even navigate on here If I disappear, I'll try to get back later today. Unfortunately since I'm at work, I don't have the time to figure out what may be CLF's problem

Well that's good news from the Norwegian TA! But I wouldn't be happy about no price drops! That doesn't seem fair.

Congrats on the 5 cigs/day! That will save both you and "A" a ton of money!!

I've never had the nicotine gum, but it doesn't sound like something I want to try for sure NOW!

Ugh, I wish they'd figure out just what is happening with this site? I'm using Google Chrome right now and just got an error about a Plug-In being unresponsive. Forget IE or Firefox, neither will go anywhere on here for me today.

Whatever is going on, it reminds me of the old "Chat Room" days when someone would ping or bomb the room when you were in it! I do wonder if we got a hacker trying to do something. Maybe they think the passwords we use here we'd use elsewhere or something? or they're trying to steal frubals? Heck I don't know!

did you read my post 644 and 645!!! New info there about pricing etc!!

The price WILL go down and we WILL be going on the STAR...with or without seascanner

I feel your frustration and pain with all the problems here.
The techs are working really hard to have it fixed asap!!

Would it be any help if I flew you over to us here in Norway so you could surf CLF wihout any problems??? I would you know

Yes, I did see those posts

Last night people who didn't have problems before we having graphics issues, but I was fine and could go just about anywhere using Firefox. But this morning is a different story

Aww thank you! If we weren't planning to go to the mountains this weekend I'd be looking at flight schedules I'm going to have a busy July running back & forth to the mountains as I've finally narrowed down my calendar. This should be the last weekend up there without internet access we're just going Friday afternoon until Sunday. I'm getting dsl installed next Friday, 7/17 I'll be up there with my Mom that weekend from 7/16 thru 7/19 and the following weekend, Mike and I will be making it a long weekend from 7/23 thru 7/28.

My Boss has monopolized the month of August with possibly taking 3 weeks off So if I go in August it will be just regular weekends. The 2 weeks the Boss isn't taking off I'll have stuff to do for our Golf Outing and before I know it, I'll be cruising on Adventure of the Seas

Of course in between all this I have Dr appointments and my Mom's specialist appointment to take her to, my calendar looks quite full!
