Anyway, just to let you know i&#39;m having a great time on Arcadia (now we&#39;ve reached some hot sunsine)! As you will see from James&#39;s blog we have had some pretty awful weather coming across the atlantic, but strangely enough the BOB was perfectly fine! <br /><br />Anyway not tempting fate. Going to post anonymous and hope for the best. Hope to speak again soon.<br /><br />Elaine (aurorabore)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1549524304374457964.post-82078122496983992772009-12-27T15:02:56.628Z2009-12-27T15:02:56.628ZHi James,<br />Not been on Arcadia yet but my son -Matt Gardener- is playing piano on Arcadia.

In fact we enjoyed our cruise so much in the summer that when we got home we changed our booking and we are now staying on for the full world cruise. The keyboard is already packed!<br />Hope you have a wonderful Christmas and a happy and peaceful New Year. Please pass on our best wishes for the season to Commodore Burgoine and all the officers and crew.<br />With warmest regards from Ann and Colin (Aled&#39;s Aunty and Uncle).aj001f1695http://www.blogger.com/profile/00163456637431872876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1549524304374457964.post-53520831409364907072009-12-23T13:05:04.844Z2009-12-23T13:05:04.844ZJames glad you are all relaxed and ready to go,have a fabulous christmas on board and looking forward to seeing you on Arcadia in february from auckland to southampton.<br /> Kind regards and merry xmas.<br /> The Beal familyAlan BEALnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1549524304374457964.post-34533141183585377102009-12-23T12:48:43.623Z2009-12-23T12:48:43.623ZHi to all on Arcadia, wishing everyone a merry Christmas.<br />Hope you have a pleasant trip around the carribbean.<br /><br />Best regards, geoff witts <br />Perth,<br />via Cebu city, PhilippinesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1549524304374457964.post-71248829355059714732009-12-23T12:41:32.016Z2009-12-23T12:41:32.016ZNice too see you back James.Hope you had a goos leave just a quick seasonal message to wish you and all onboard The Mighty Arc a Very Happy Christmas and Smooth Seas for 2010.<br /><br />Alan GAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1549524304374457964.post-5797511840581577582009-12-23T11:46:48.555Z2009-12-23T11:46:48.555ZGreat to see that you are back James, I for one did truley miss you.<br />Merry Christmas to you and all those lucky buggers on board Arcadia.<br />Only 9 weeks and 4 days until we board Aurora for 9 weeks.<br />How fast time goes this time last year we were all excited about our half Grand Voyage on Arcadia, now with fantastic memories of our 7 weeks on Arcadia we really do know what to pack.<br />Have you seen/talked to Elaine Aurorabore?<br />Hope to hear from her soon, really love reading her input on the blog.<br />Great to hear from Jay, who was also on Arcadia for part of the Grand Voyage this year, it must be about 12 weeks till you board Aurora,guess you are as excited as we are.<br />It is very hot and sticky here and I am so looking forward to going to cooler places and wearing proper clothes, coats, boots,etc,etc, something that we just don&#39;t get to do here.<br />AND...No Santa does not come down our chimneys cause we don&#39;t have them, he surfs in!<br />Chronic shyness makes me remain Annonymous, may come out of my shell one day.<br />Have a good one!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1549524304374457964.post-46478115117647255922009-12-23T11:43:30.286Z2009-12-23T11:43:30.286ZWelcome back James and Merry Christmas to you and everyone on Arcadia. <br /><br />We were on the Christmas Markets cruise and left Arcadia the day you joined so we missed you again.

Lovely to see you back, glad you had a restful leave. We have just spent a week in Madeira and saw Oriana disappearing into the fog on Wednesday. She was unable to dock due the the high wind and rough seas. We were so disappointed. Later that day the weather cleared and the sun came out, so the passengers missed out. The weather was very mixed for the week and I see the rain has not gone away this week either.<br />Have a good Atlantic crossing and send the warmth back to us from the Caribbean. It&#39;s still horrible here. Please send Cristmas greeting from me to Aurorabore, Elaine, who I know is sailing with you, lucky thing.<br />Regards to all Judith<br />Rregards to allJaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1549524304374457964.post-15047398990177928342009-12-22T21:26:52.763Z2009-12-22T21:26:52.763ZWelcome back James!

However must say the Headliners shows during that cruise were fantastic, well done to them. We will be thinking of you on Christmas day especially as we spent Christmas 2005 onboard, sailed though the Panama and flew home from Accapolco !!!!<br />Regards, <br />Derek.Derekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08689277643916242290noreply@blogger.com
