If I'm in Limassol at the time, we could meet up for a couple of beers and I can give you that wedgie I promised you.... :lol: :lol:

No Chance, if it ends in Limassol I will use alternative arrangements and spend the whole time in Salamis Hotel via Ercan instead. However if we should ever meet and that is unlikely as I am boycotting the south till the agreement, I would be careful not to produce your wedgie, cause you will not like the pain it will give once I shove it where it belongs, up your pouch, old boy.


think you better explain to this skint turkish fellow what a wedgie is.

Global cruise operator includes occupied Famagusta in 2010 ports-of-call list
By Charles Charalambous

HOLLAND America Lines (HAL), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Carnival Corporation, the largest cruise operator in the world, has included the port of Famagusta in the occupied part of the island as one of its ports of call for its 2010 European cruise season.

According to a HAL press release carried by a number of travel business websites last week –saying “new itineraries offer unique experiences” – the six HAL ships allocated to its European routes will call at 11 new ports in Europe throughout the 2010 season, including Famagusta.

HAL’s website currently offers two cruises calling at Famagusta. The first is a 29-day “Ancient Lands Discovery” cruise departing from Greenwich, London on 11 September 2010 and ending in Piraeus, Greece. The second is a 14-day “Ancient Splendours” cruise departing from Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy on 26 September 2010 and following the remainder of the itinerary for the longer cruise.

As part of the combined itinerary, the cruise-ship “Prinsendam” is scheduled to call in at Famagusta for one day, arriving at 8am and at departing 5pm. The destination overview on HAL’s website says: “Founded in 300 BC, Famagusta offers centuries of history and modern Mediterranean delights. Explore the world famous ruins of Salamis including beautiful mosaics, a magnificent amphitheatre, Roman baths, and royal tombs; wander the ramparts of the ancient Citadel and gaze at the harbour from Othello’s Tower; visit St. Nicholas's Cathedral, built in the gothic style of the 14th century; and enjoy the pleasures of world class Mediterranean beaches.”

Last year, HAL offered 12-day cruises for the period May-September in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Balkans, which included Limassol as a port of call. The company’s website describes Limassol as being “very much in the Greek sector of Cyprus”.

HAL, which describes itself as “the highest-rated premium cruise line in the world”, was founded in 1873 as a shipping and passenger line. It switched to running cruise ships full time in 1971, and in 1989 became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Carnival Corporation, comprising 11 cruise brands – including British brands P&O Cruises and Cunard Line – operating out of five countries. Today, the cruise line operates 14 ships to 320 ports in more than 100 “countries, territories or dependencies” and carries nearly 700,000 cruise passengers a year.

Global cruise operator changes Famagusta ports of call to Larnaca
By Charles Charalambous

THE CYPRUS Ports Authority (CPA) has forced Holland America Lines (HAL), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Carnival Corporation, the largest cruise operator in the world, to remove the port of Famagusta in the occupied areas as one of the ports of call on its 2010 European cruise schedule.

Following the publication of articles in the Sunday Mail, Phileleftheros and Politis, which highlighted the inclusion of Famagusta on the cruise operator’s list of ports of call, the CPA intervened through the Association of Mediterranean Cruise Ports (MedCruise), which obliged HAL to change its itineraries.

HAL announced two weeks ago that its 2010 season would include three cruises in September calling at Famagusta, under the headings ‘29-day Ancient Lands Discovery’, ‘14-day Ancient Splendours’ and ‘28-day Ancient Lands & Black Sea’. The company has now decided to replace Famagusta with Larnaca.

The move came after the CPA – which has been a member of MedCruise since its creation in 1996, and has a seat on its board of directors – pointed out that HAL’s action in listing Famagusta broke a law passed by the Cyprus government in October 1974, declaring the ports of Famagusta, Kyrenia and Karavostasi closed to all craft.

It was finally established that the company had been misinformed by third parties, resulting in its erroneous actions. HAL has issued an apology to both MedCruise and the CPA, and has made a commitment to correct its error.

Enjoy your cruise YFred. Just don't be too disappointed if you land in Limassol instead, if there is no settlement by then.! :lol:

Oops! Sorry YFred, I made a mistake. You are not going to Limassol after all, but to Larnaca instead.! :lol: :lol: :lol:

This is why YFed's political understanding is only ONE dimensional who gets let down every time with his claims or what is told to him to be fact, when they are just messing with his head. If the Cruise Liner was ever going to land in the north under present situation, they would have listed the port of call as MAGUSA, but no, they put Famagusta instead. Not very political correct, was it by HAL to do that. It was likely to bruise the “trnc’s” ego as being a sovereign nation. That's the clue that YFed missed............again. There is a sucker born every minute, but in YFred's case, he is the sucker "born" every minute.! :lol: :lol: :lol:

What is the reason of this post-the same time Yfed sent his post i told him to not rush. The whole World is working under a certain logic. Is very simple-if someone wish to- to understand it!!!!

The cruise starts Sep. 11 ( :shock: ), 2010! That gives plenty of time to the lads at the MFA to sort things out. :)

Good Luck. You'll need it.
I've just booked my tickets for the 11th and they accepted. See you there.


I don't think you will get a refund! Bon voyage! :lol:
