Oh sorry about that if it's wrong.
Hopefully they'll have something similar on Norman Atlantic.
Hell no, don't be sorry. It just builds the excitement. I gathered my kids around and showed them the picture, and how we could have a nice picnic on the ship. They loved it. I agree with the other sentiments, seeing our boat has been out of action (I think), for the last few months, hopefully they will have taken the opportunity to do a few little jobs on it to make it more comfortable. I was on the celtic horizon ship, her sister, and they are supposed to be identical. Functional is the word, not a cruise ship by any means, but for 350 euro for 5 of us return, I will put up with it.

Four weeks to go for me. So, here's my itinerary. I am very open to observations, criticisms, or general comments.
So. Me, wife, mother in law
, two kids into car about 4pm and head for wexford. Wife needs gluten free so big feed in The Bailey, Enniscorthy on way down.
Into cabin and 1 seat on boat, beer, dvds, pass the time.
Arrive in St N and head for campsite. Its about two or three hours south of the port.
A week there, chilling out, exploring the area and on the following Saturday head for Disney. I figure out that's a drive of about 5 hours. Someone mentioned taking the train, but it appears the car goes separate to the people on those trains. Got a coo
Four days at Davy Crocket Ranch, Disney, maybe take one of those to myself and check out Paris. Drive back to St. N for the sailing home. Maybe try and get there early and check out the submarine pens.
Anyone any recommendations for things to see and do?
Anybody got any comments on anything ???? I seem to recall someone else mentioning they were on my sailing - 27th June.0 -

Cité des Sciences et de l'Industrie
Its reasonably close to Disney- at La Villette
Its Frances quite remarkable science museum- with different quarters aimed at different age groups. The history of industry exhibits- include an old Citroen 2CV assembly line, a Concorde- and a nuclear submarine. All exhibits are fully visitor interactive- you can go onboard the nuclear sub and into the ops room and see all the controls- the Concorde has guided tours- you're not allowed wander on your own onboard.
There are also exhibits governing all the different sciences- with interactive experiments you can do.
We normally spent 2 days there any time we were in Paris- its quite a remarkable facility.
Check your dates carefully- its one of the most popular exhibits in all of France, and weekends or holidays are really really out of the question.
Website: http://www.cite-sciences.fr/fr/accueil/
Curious fact about where it is- it used be the biggest abatoir in Europe- before the French government decided to gentrify the area. The facility is independent- but under the auspices of the French Ministry for Education- and features special events for school children.
Most of the exhibits are in French, English and German- and the staff are lovely. Do try to use any French you have- it makes them happier......... 0 -
