Juliet,

I may not do many posts but i look every day and have a very good laugh at some of the posts.

i just like to make sure that i have the correct info before putting things that wil help those still trying to get things sorted

Dizzy asked what happened to all these people (listed), Well dizzy I was one of those on your list - still battling - refused vouchers - said I wanted a trip this year - told only way was if I shared - agreed to this - they could not find anyone to share with me - I found someone to share - finally a call "We are in negotiations with the Express and until we have satisfactory outcome to these negotiations we will not be making any more bookings" - back to square one.

Rosie - thanks for the info that they may be back making bookings again in a couple of weeks, I will leave it until then and start back onto the Express etc. If I don't get anywhere I will be first in the queue when Watchdog comes back on in the Autumn.

I was all sympathetic with the situation to start with, was prepared to be flexible, helpful even, but I am seriously starting to lose my patience.

I now only visit the Holiday Truths site once a week - try not to depress myself with all the excitement from those of you that have cruises coming up - good luck to you all - I sincerely hope you enjoy them.

Once (I'm being positive) I have a cruise booked I will go back and read in detail the wonderful write ups on the cruises that have taken place and get a little more into the mood.

I will obviously let you all know how I get on so that others who are still fighting and benefit from our experience.

I may not do many posts but i look every day and have a very good laugh at some of the posts.

Same here. I try to look in at least daily but don't always have anything helpful or funny to say, so keep quiet.

HI Rosie,

I've been on the Lirica, got back last weekend. I've put a review on the 21/05/05 Lirica roll call. The ship is fantastic, you will have a great time. If you have any questions about the ship feel free to Pm me or ask on the roll call, cheers

Hi to all the cruisers hoping to embark on the Melody on the 13th of June can anyone tell me if they have received any actual tickets yet. Has anybody who has returned from a successful trip any info on how many days prior to departure they received their cruise tickets.
Does it sound like someone is getting nervous as the much anticipated cruise draws ever closer.
looking forward to making some new friends in Heathrow

It appears from other posts that people are receiving their tickets 9-10 days before the date of travel.

luci

Good Morning again,

Forgot to say that the week is in Amsterdam anyone recommed a not so expensive hotel outside Amsterdam (Aug 1st - 6th)

Feel like I'm taking to myself, but thats not uncommen with the coven they just ignor me as well, I feel a bit like Mervin the Paranoid Andriod.

Off to put the pan on now Sunday Breakfast is was the highlight of the week for me. (Or used to be before my mates were frightened off by the sight of the coven 2 Sundays on the trot).

Phil Morris

Hi Phil

If you go to the main cruise forum index, at the top it shows the user names of who's online for that forum. Hope that helps.

Juliet

Hi bigdavek,

Re: tickets - I shared on the cruise and only got one set of tickets sent to me, this may have been because I paid for them on my card. If you have paid separately I would assume that you would both get a set of tickets. Both names were on my one set of tickets.

I only received the tickets 5 days before cruising so you can imagine the panic

Scarlet.

Phil if only you didn't live so far away, we could set up a friends against the coven, recovery system.
How are you feeling now, are the ribs healing?
Has your mate who you were on the boat with, visited you yet?
The very least he could do is to organise an escape committee.

dizzy

Hello, re tickets - I received mine yesterday, the 5th of June for cruise (Armonia) departing 12th - so just a week before. My cruise is for two people and I have both tickets, all the stuff, in a natty little navy nylon MSC pouch.
