Just checked Regent's website to see what they had listed for excursions. I punched the wrong tab and got to the pricing page. It is now showing every category closed with one exception the Master Suite. We still have over a year to go, I am so glad this dingbat signed up for this cruise so far in advance. Can't wait.

Aarrgghh!! The cruise will be full?? Good news for Regent - less good news for us Dingbats, who'd hoped for a ship a bit less than full capacity, in order to have a better shot at second nights at Signatures and Prime 7.

Frank - Although my size 12's don't take up the space your 16's do, they still are heavy and bulky enough that I much prefer to leave them at home. Thus, we will keep our fingers crossed that Regent amends the dress code (the results of the poll are pretty dramatic). In that happy event, Frank will not have to schlep his size sixteen shoes and suit to Sydney. (I love alliteration!!)

Beth - Even though I rudely branded the woefully misguided LCTers who voted for DINGO rather than T-DEVIL as "Dingbats", I think that is a very good moniker for those of us on the cruise. Tazzies has too many connections to that Disney character, who probably doesn't even drink or participate in Trivia.

Cheers, Fred (happy to be a Dingbat)

Fred, you probably won't have any problems swinging a second night in Prime 7 over two weeks. However, I think Dingbats (very cute moniker) will have lots of problems getting even one reservation in Signatures. ;)

I cannot believe this cruise is showing full so far out!!!! The recession must be over! Yeah Right!!! Thanks for the concern Fred, hopefully we are EC all the way.. We too hope we can get into Prime 7 more than once... Signatures on Navigator? is that after the drydock or something, why dont I remember Signatures from Navigator last December...

FV

Frank, I think Prime 7 is going in over drydock. No Signatures.

Lordie, talk about a senior moment!! Of course there is no Signatures on Navigator. I was focusing on our Voyager cruise in December. Nonetheless, I am still fervently hoping for EC all the way.

I bet the cruise isn't sold out. My guess is a consortium has a block of cabins reserved.

How can I resist a cruise with all these wonderful LCT ladies. Add me to the Dingbats!

Hey add me in cabin 518!

Lauri and David,

Glad to have you join the roll call.

Jean and Clyde in 814.

We reserved but I promised someone (Frank) that I wouldn't post it yet so we're not telling anyone that we are booked as Dingbats and I am not putting it in my signature (well, there is no more room)...shhhh.

Looking forward to seeing you again, Kathy!

Kathy, I promise not to tell Frank.....

Looking forward to finally meeting you both!!

Same here, Andi and Beth.

We don't have a cabin assignment yet. I like playing cabin roulette.

One year from today the Dingbats board the Navigator for DINGO. Our countdown really begins!!

WOW Beth I can't believe we only have a year to go. I think we booked this on SAMBA, boy time flys by. Can't wait to see all the Dingbats!

Carolyn

Carolyn, ONLY A YEAR!!!!! I wanna go n~o~w!!!!!

Is Australia ready for you?? I suppose only a year will tell!! Can't wait to see y'all.

I love it when you talk Southern, Lee!!!

We just made our 3 night precruise reservations using our Hilton Honors points at the Sydney Hilton. Yeah!

We have been talking about a pre-cruise to the GBR and Sydney. Guess we need to do some serious research and make some decisions.

Sure wish I could of figured out how to get to the GBR.

Dixiechick -

It's simple. Simply exit the Sydney harbour, turn left (north), and keep going until you see lots of people snorkeling up by Cairns and Port Douglas.

Dingbattedly yours, Fred

Beth: That's the only foreign word I know!!

Just love your sense of humour Fred - are you coming to Sydney any time soon? Lee

Thanks Fred. Guess I will start training by swimming upstream on the Tennessee River:)

Forever Dingbats!

Lee - Alas, we will not have the opportunity to come to your beautiful city until next November, when we will spend a few days there before T-Devil (aka Dingo). Then we will join the merry band of Dingbats on the Navigator for fun and frolic in the Antipodes. Cheers, Fred

Fred: I'm relying on one of you to get me on board while you're in Sydney! Dinner will do - you don't have to get me all the way to New Zealand! Lee

Lee, We would love for you to join us to NZ. I can send in a request to get you on for lunch as we don't spend the night onboard before leaving port. The ship does arrive the day before though, maybe someone doing b2b can get you on for dinner.

I was only joking (sort of) - I think being a stowaway could be fun though!

Lee, we can get you on for lunch... I'll put in the request a few months before we leave. What fun we will have. Some of us MOOSEies together again!!!

Add us to the list. We are very excited about the trip.

I sure wish we could do this one, but I keep telling myself I can't do them all unfortunately. I know you all will have a great time as the itenerary sounds wonderful.

I believe this is fully booked already - looks as if I will have to become a stowaway after all. Perhaps I shouldn't be advertising it though! Anyone out there who won't be filling their wardrobe? Like Arlene, I would dearly love to be on this one. Lunch sounds great though! Lee

I've got space in my room!

Glad you will be joining us... IF this cruise if fully booked I am sure there will be some drop offs since we are a year away.. Perfect for any LCT folks who want to jump on...

FV

Thanks Lauri for your generous offer - is it for wardrobe space only?

Seriously, my son and I are booked on the Dover to Monte Carlo cruise in September and I don't like my chances of beng able to take another cruise that soon afterwards, especially when it means missing my husband's birthday! Miracles do happen though! Of course, if I could talk him into cruising ....... Lee

I won't keep you locked in the wardrobe

I am game to do the bridge climb...if Frank doesn't protest too much. He won't do it I am sure. We aren't positive of our pre-cruise plans yet although we probably should start thinking about it.

Kathy, just a heads up, I signed on for the bridge climb with Regent when I was in Sydney, and it was canceled for lack of enough people. So if you do a pre-cruise there, might want to include that in your plans!
