Congratulations Galen for when it comes - sounds like an excellent choice I'm sure they will make it special for you and it doesn't get more special than Venice.

DH's 70th is coming up in a couple of years so I'm saving and planning for something nice for him. Monaco was mentioned!!!

When is that then? Before or after your August cruise?

My 70th is in 2016 so if I am still here I plan to do something like that as well. A firend just came back from a cruise on the QV to Russia and thoroughly enjoyed it so am thinking along those lines although Cunard is a bit pricey for us so looking at Celebrity if we enjoy the one booked for next August

What an excellent plan Galen - another outing for the pearls as well, fabulous

Fabulous idea Galen. Doing something you enjoy will make your 70th a special memory. Don't forget your pearls!

That sounds brilliant. If only your Granspals (as Soop would say) could join you. I think we should have a virtual party on the day / evening.

That sounds like a plan! When is your birthday?

We might not be with you in person Galen, to help celebrate but could we not have a virtual party on board? (I'll dust off me pearls in case) wink

Congratulations on this up-coming landmark birthday. Brilliant idea to spend it cruising, which we know you love. Venice is wonderful!

Pedant alert!
It should have said
'With whom to celebrate my birthday'

Galen Thu 21-Aug-14 22:37:50

As I don't have a lot of people to celebrate my birth day with,
I've suddenly take a decision!smile

I've booked an 18 day cruise on the Queen Elizabeth from Venice to Southampton that takes in my birthday .
