Just printed off our tickets for Christmas on Oriana (I know....off-topic again!) and we are allocated a 3p.m. arrival slot. Good job we have priority !
Obviously you have not been informed of the changes to the embarkation system that are starting in December.

What changes are those please David? I don't recall seeing anything.

My eTicket clearly states that we are returning to Mayflower on the 4th. January but if we drift off course and finish up in Bermuda I won't complain, see you all in the Old Cock and Feather pub.

Ours also shows returning to Mayflower on the 4th and we also have a 12.30pm check in time so I have printed off the tickets in case they try and change that.

Thank you Ray, but Lizzie and I are eating at a favourite restaurant called Enio's. I've been there quite a few times and not been disappointed.

Best wishes

Better rotate the picture through 45 degrees - you will probably spot him lying in a corner !!

Ray,

I wil be organising a get together for our Facebook group, as I usually do and I always invite any other people I know from other forum. I will be posting the details on here when I get them. It's usually the first sea day.

It would be great to see people from this group as well.

Will do Ray, and I certainly would not avoid you!

Lynda? I expect to spend some time in Magnums too so no doubt may see you there. Look out for a 60 something 5' 2" silver haired lady! I see you hail from Fulham? Interesting as I was born and bought up in Hammersmith/Fulham. Maybe we have shared background!

Best wishes
Maureen

Hello Maureen, small world, we now live in Hammersmith but I was born and went to school in Fulham. I'll keep an eye out for you, I'll be with my husband David who has shoulder length dark hair and speaks with a Scottish accent, although he is in fact from Derbyshire.

Best wishes

Lynda :wave:
