Hi All
Rosie I havent received my tickets yet but I noticed that some people who were going on the 13th June didnt get theirs till 6th June and 8th June. I will certainly be panicking if mine dont arrive by Tuesday of next week. I am getting excited but still apprehensive until the tickets arrive.
Magsy have a great trip, look forward to seeing the photos.

:) With my foot still in it? Just depends. Just what is so interesting about bathroom floors anyway, or were those midnight intruders checking for What Lies Beneath? i.e. bilge, leaks etc. :shock:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi, I'm new to this, but wanted you to know that I spoke to someone in the Shell (Express) office who advised me that their legal department are now dealing with this matter and that they expect some resolution by "the end of July". I am still waiting for a phone call from the so-called Helpline, but no-one even bothers to answer the phone there now! Have tried the link provided by Luci to the contact form, but am a real cynic these days and hate to say I doubt it will do any good. I have been waiting over a year now and, despite offers in the past, have heard nothing for the past 5 months!

hi to everyone,
thought i'd let you know that i have just recieved my tickets this morning for my sinfonia cruise on 12th june. How panicky have I been over the last week :!:
So if you haven't recieved any tickets for your future cruise yet there is still plenty of time so hang on in there :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
All the best for now,
Mark

Hi Craig,

It's certainly be a good idea to check your flights both now and just before you are due to fly. I am sure you don't need to but with all the recent strikes it'd at least give you piece of mind.


Just to clarify that we were talking about confirming flight reservations rather than checking that the flight was happening.

In the Rise confirmed cruise docs there was mention of the necessity to do this (I think it was 48 or 72 hours before, without checking the paperwork) both out and back.

It turns out that this is not actually necesary.

However, I agree with you about the flights in general with all the uncertainty over strikes.

Hi all
I bet you were sweating a bit optimalscooby, today being the 10th and you going on the 12th. Did you actually ring them up and if you did what number did you ring as it sounds like they are not answering the phone/or are they.
I will be waiting for the post every day next week as I fly Saturday a.m. I know I will be a right pain at work going on about not having them yet, it was bad enough this week when everyone was saying are you excited. Not until I get the tickets etc will I believe I am going. Have a brill time now you know you are going.

Hi May B,
Sweating a bit!!!!! I was like the wicked witch from Oz, "I'm Melting, I'm melting"
Yes I rang **** but was told quite coldly that I would get them in time, so i emailed DE, and recieved a call the next day saying that my tickets had been despatched. I have found all through this escapade that emailing/phoning DE has had the required effect. I got the numbers /addies from the link in the index by the way. :D

To say that was a close call Mark is putting it mildly, but...............................

My ticket has just arrived for next Sunday :D - phew!

Snazzy blue wallet with info in. No upgrade, but I'm just relieved to be another step closer after everything.

Has anyone heard from Magsy in Venice yet? Hope she's having a great time ahead of her cruise :D !

Hi May, good to hear from you. No sign of tickets yet, but as you said people are still getting them a couple of days before they are going. Well to hell with it I am going to start packing. Next problem, how do I get it all into 15 kgs!! The ryanair site does say we are allowed 10 kgs of hand luggage though, which I thought was a bit strange. Raher defeats the object I would say. May be the kgs in the plane weighs lighter than those in the hold. But I know which one I would rather have fall out of the overhead storage, and hit me on the head.

The reason that RyanAir say you can take 10kgrams of hand luggage is part of their long-term plan to do away with checked (hold) baggage. Ideally they would like all their passengers to only have carry-on luggage. This is because it is cheaper for them (no baggage handlers) and it makes for quicker turn-rounds.

TICKETS HAVE COME TODAY. Well I know I am going now so its a case of get organised now kiddo. Cant wait. Rosie if you dont get them today I bet yours will come on Monday, maybe they are doing it alphabetically or something but at least you know the Lirica tickets are on their way to you. I have found out the name of the woman I am sharing with but she doesnt appear to be on holiday truth site unfortunately.
Could anyone tell me, in easy steps how to send a PM. I tried the other night to send one to Rosie but couldnt. Much appreciated if someone can help this silly lady!!
All those waiting on tickets be positive as they will be there shortly I am certain.
