Hi all,
I just wanted to say a big hi to all those that I met and a apologies to those I didn't.
We had a wonderful albeit busy cruise so didn't get to spend as much time with you all as I'd anticipated.
Our trip home was incredibly long but we finally made it home to New Zealand on Monday to find the airlines had lost our luggage and our flight to our city was cancelled so we had a long 4 hour wait until the next flight.
Our final suitcase arrived yesterday so I've finally got to unpacking and doing the washing - joy!
Someone mentioned they had Zan from Macedonia as their server, he was our server in 2003 and we had a blast, he was actually serving on the same rotation as us this time and we could see the family(s) he was with having a good time.
Our servers were average at best. Robert and I are both vegetarian and every night we would have to ask if the soup was vegetarian - each night our server had to go and find out. For the record, it would appear all soups are made with chicken stock. I would have thought he would have found this out before we had to ask. Also every night without fail, he would recommend to us the meat dishes - duh! A couple of times, it felt as though our meals were virtually thrown at us.
Our assistant server was better but nearly as attentive as our server on our 2003 cruise.
We also placed a deposit for a cruise and will push out the date to 2008 at the earliest - we'd like to do a special itinerary one or a longer cruise such as the 10/11 day ones on the Wonder.
