10/24/2009 Bash on the Boat Cruise (I'm with BOB) Thread #11
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is Thread #11 of the BOB threads.

If you're new to our group, you're not alone. Several of us have sailed together before (on the 10/20/07 Western Cruise - a.k.a. Konked Kruisers) and several more are new. To indicate the ones new to the group, we have put an * infront of their DIS name. There are 13 new DISers and 19 returning KKers.

The following is the same as the other first posts. For those of you new to our DIS Meet thread - WELCOME. There is plenty of good info in this post.

As usual, I'll be back here to update this post periodically. I will try to keep important information up here for all to reference as well as for all our new friends who come to cruise with us. If something of importance comes up, PM me and I will add the link.

We have dubbed this cruise "The Bash on the Boat" because so many people are celebrating birthdays or anniversaries on this cruise. You will also see "KK2" in the title. As you will read, many of us just sailed together on the 10/20/07 Western Cruise. So, with many of us returning here, we are dubbing this KK2. For those of you who didn't sail with us, please don't feel that you are not part of the group. We are a very open and welcoming/friendly bunch. We had such a great cruise last time, but feel it will be even better this time. Come along and enjoy the fun. We will get off-topic many times over the next 2 years, but it is a great way to get to know everyone.

A good place to start for planning this trip would be Cass' website. She has done a great job to organize almost everything you'll need for this cruise and posting here on the BOB board. Here is the link to her site: http://www.cassworld.ca/bobers.htm

Incase anyone is wondering what the FO game we play here on the B.O.B. cruise meets thread, Jen gave a good explanation of the game:

FO is a game (for lack of a better description) that was started on the Konked Kruiser thread that some of us belonged to for the October 07 cruise. Don't ask me who started it or how, I joined that threead late.

Anyway, the game in a nutshell....if you post, and your post is the beginning of a page, then you try to get the second post on the page also. It means you have started a "Fresh One" or "First One" (I forget what the actual term was).

Now, this isn't always as easy as it seems - if there are multiple posters on at the same time, and someone else gets the second post, you don't get to "claim the FO". The 40 second rule between postings comes into play.

We had decided to stop playing this little game when the DIS instituted limits on the lengths of threads....but old habits die hard, I guess, because some of us still try to claim our FO's (I am guilty!). So, play, or ignore, either one is fine! We're all just about having fun and being fans of DCL one way or another here.

Glad you found us Andy.

Missed you over on #10 while closing it out.

Hope you get some sleep tonight.

[goofyfreak]

Well I think I will head off to bed also. Have a good evening everyone. I hope to see lots more pics tomorrow. I have loved looking at them all.

[CRSNDSNY]

Yeah! I snagged number 7!!!!

[captchris]

I kept seeing the page numbers creeping over 250 and didn't want the DIS gods frowning on us. :rotfl2: :lmao:

[JLDSMD]

If anyone is missing from the BOBer list, don't forget to PM Chris.

I know all the new people who joined in the last week or so.

[CRSNDSNY]

I'm hoping for the first FO but I know I should shut down and get to sleep!

[Laxmom]

Man! The old one was closed as I typed my response. Now what were we talking about? Ah yes....airports and tickets.

Hate to go between terminals at CVG also! Don't mind the tram as much as the bus!

I always check Tampa for lower fares also. The more options the better!

[JLDSMD]

But look who was able to get the first one. :cool1:

Had to post so it showed in my CP! Off to homework for me! Night all!

I can't stand the buses at CVG, although it is kind of neat being on the tarmac looking up at the aircraft. As far as convenience it stinks!

Get some rest. Is it hard getting up in the morning to hit the gym? I'm sure a headache doesn't help either.

You could just use thread tools and add it to your subscriptions.

BTW, does anyone else have all 11 threads still in their subscriptions?

[JLDSMD]

So, did everyone leave now? :confused3

[captchris]

I am going to try to dress up the first post a bit. I guess the various formats didn't copy when i pasted. I'll be back in the conversation in a few.

I know that one time I couldn't do a lot because there were too many characters (letter, numbers, symbols) in the post. It does limit you, I just can't remember to how many.

Cass, I meant to tell you that when Jay and I were in Boca we had a chocolate croissant in your honor one morning as part of our breakfast! I didn't think it was very good - too dry and too sweet - but Jay liked it, even though he did comment that the ones DCL serves are better! :goodvibes

I just realized that this thread includes Chapter 11 in the title ... now I feel like we're all bankrupt! :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

Must be trying to tell us something about paying for the BOB. :rotfl2:

Maybe we should have Chris change the title back to "Thread" from "Chapter". It looks like we only used "Chapter" the last 2 times.

Just a thought.

[minnieandmickey]

My Dear Chris (AFEG)
I would like you to know that you have created a monster. For in the back of my refridgerator is a 4 pack of Tetley's and a 4 pack of Boddington's. I blame you my dear sir and request that you send the adequate monetary value of said items on a monthly basis so that my dear Monster can stay in the beveragedome he is accustomed to.
Miss you my friend.

I had one everymorning for 20 mornings on the Magic. I did think of Cass's Rob the first couple of times. They were heaven, I did however noticed that the ones in the buffet were more shaped like a danish, whereas the one's at Palo Brunch were true crossaints

now that's what I call living it up! I would have had to have gone to the Cove Cafe for a mochaccino to wash it down, though. ;)

I don't recall seeing them in the case at QC Cafe all trip. I'd walk past and glance in, but never seen them there.

I was happy to see them on the Palo buffet. They weren't as good at Topsiders, but served the purpose nonetheless.

It was a hard life but I was glad to sacrifice those 20 days for the cause. If I didn't have to pay for the mochaccino's I would have!

Jeff,
I am not sure if I posted this yet or not, but I saw Ronald at Palo's. Seems that is his permanent position, he was just a temp for the dining room while Yolande was gone. Of course if I had known this I would have requested him instead of our other server that we liked.

Ooooh chocolate croissant :cloud9: Thanks Bendy, I'm honoured :goodvibes I find the ones at the Beach Club are like that, dry and way too sweet :crazy2: But the cruise ones :love: :lovestruc perfecto! :thumbsup2

Oh Cass she is getting so big. Loved on the first video where she said cheese. She's definately a cutie!:cutie:

LOL, yeah I laughed at the cheese part too! :lmao: When we get back from Vegas I will be starting to plan her second birthday!! :eek: Time flies eh?

I've only been to Palo brunch once and the chocolate croissants they had there were exactly like the ones at the buffet, disguised as a danish!! :rolleyes1 On our first cruise, I passed them over for the first 2 days because I thought they were a danish, which I am not too keen on. Then my tablemate asked us if we had tried the chocolate croissant yet. Ooooh I could have kissed her!!!!!! :lovestruc :worship: :thumbsup2 :lmao:

[Timon]

Ooooh Mikey, did you watch Big Brother tonight :mad: :headache:

[Timon]

Anyone else here watch Prison Break??? I just love that show!!! It's SO well written! I remember watching the first season thinking what the heck are they going to do after they break out??? :rolleyes1 But this is the third season and it's just as good as the first! ::yes::

[Timon]

Ever feel like you're talking to yourself???? :rolleyes1

Speaking of a warped mind, I'm watching Andrew Zimmern. For those of you who are just getting up and getting ready to have breakfast you don't want to know what he is eating at this very moment. :eek: He is in Iceland for this episode.

OK. It's home made blood pudding. This one is a family hand down recipe. The good news is that it's a good source of iron.

Seriously though, blood pudding is a favorite to Europeans. I had an opportunity to try it when I was stationed in Northern Ireland when in the Navy.

I'm going to close with some humorous thoughts on home remedies.

1. AVOID CUTTING YOURSELF WHEN SLICING VEGETABLES BY GETTING
SOMEONE ELSE TO HOLD THE VEGETABLES WHILE YOU CHOP.

2. AVOID ARGUMENTS WITH THE FEMALES ABOUT LIFTING THE TOILET
SEAT BY USING THE SINK.

3. FOR HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE SUFFERERS ~ SIMPLY CUT YOURSELF AND
BLEED FOR A FEW MINUTES, THUS REDUCING THE PRESSURE ON YOUR
VEINS. REMEMBER TO USE A TIMER.

4. A MOUSE TRAP PLACED ON TOP OF YOUR ALARM CLOCK WILL PREVENT
YOU FROM ROLLING OVER AND GOING BACK TO SLEEP AFTER YOU HIT
THE SNOOZE BUTTON.

5. IF YOU HAVE A BAD COUGH, TAKE A LARGE DOSE OF LAXATIVES. THEN
YOU'LL BE AFRAID TO COUGH.

6. YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT
DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE
AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE.

7. IF YOU CAN'T FIX IT WITH A HAMMER, YOU'VE GOT AN ELECTRICAL
PROBLEM.

DAILY THOUGHT:
SOME PEOPLE ARE LIKE SLINKIES - NOT REALLY GOOD FOR ANYTHING BUT THEY BRING A SMILE TO YOUR FACE WHEN PUSHED DOWN THE STAIRS.

[Morsel (Chris/Lynn)]

On the above note of home remedies, I'm calling it a day. Good night to some and good morning to others. :thumbsup2

I've never had a chocolate croissaint onboard. BUT, I did have one elsewhere here at home and also thought of Rob when I ate it!!!

I had one everymorning for 20 mornings on the Magic. I did think of Cass's Rob the first couple of times. They were heaven, I did however noticed that the ones in the buffet were more shaped like a danish, whereas the one's at Palo Brunch were true crossaints

Oh, by the way --- GOOD MORNING!!! Two weeks today and I'm in ORLANDO!

Good morning all...

Just subscribing to thread 11....I barely followed the last 15-20 pages of thread 10. That went fast!

It also looks like I'll have to do a better job of posting....my post count was WAY down!

[Verandah Man]

Gotta get to work, see y'all later..........:wave2:

Oh, by the way --- GOOD MORNING!!! Two weeks today and I'm in ORLANDO!

Hooray for you! :cool1: :yay:

Jay and I will be there in exactly four weeks! :woohoo:

I asked this near the end of the last thread but maybe the Repo BOBers didn't see it so here it is again.............Is there anything in Aruba that I should not miss out on seeing?

The natural bridge and the beaches are lovely. We did a jeep tour and it was great. I'll post some pics at the weekend.

Good morning all!

Are you cruising in or staying on island? We were there last year for a week and love, love, love Aruba!! We would rather go there than Hawaii. The people are more friendly, the flight is more manageable and the cost of things was less than Hawaii. Any questions, just ask.

[Timon]

Good morning BOBers :wave2:

Andy,

Did you get any emails from WDW regarding the "free food" offer this fall?

Suz says "no" to going on this offer, but we have some time to book, so I'm holding on to the email.

Might see you down there if we go the first weekend.

Lina is going for a job interview this afternoon, it's to be a Hostess at one of the more upscale restaurants in our area. Our friends had their DD's wedding reception there last year, the reception was like $100.00 a head.......:eek: :eek: :eek:

THE SNOOZE BUTTON.




Maybe that is what I need to do with Rachel's alarm clock :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: She has multiple alarm clocks in her room and she keeps hitting the snooze button for a good 1/2 hour before she actually gets up

[Timon]

All booked for the Radisson too :thumbsup2


I only had the choice of 2 double beds, no king or queen :guilty:

Oh well, that may work out if Kira is sleeping in a normal bed by then. One of us can sleep with her :goodvibes


So has anyone eaten dinner at the Radisson before? Are you able to get something while at the pool? Not sure if we want to trek over to Grills :confused3

We're looking at coming in on that Thursday and the Rate doesn't apply to Thursday.

Luckily, AAA has a rate of $107.10 on Thursday and $116.10 for Friday. Average is $111.60, so not too much more than the Rate for the group.

I'm looking at the rates for the 2 nights we'll be there and it is $135/$145 for a 1 Bedroom King Whirlpool Suite. It has a pull-out sleeper in the living room portion.

Here is the description:

Our Two Room Whirlpool Suite Features:
-Our exclusive Sleep Number bed with air chambers allows you to adjust the firmness of the mattress to your exact level of comfort with the touch of a button. To further enhance comfort, you will appreciate our bed?s quality linens, down pillows and finished with a premium down-filled comforter nestled in an ultra-soft duvet cover
-High Speed Internet Access
-Whirlpool in the Bedroom
-Pullout Sofa Sleeper in Living Room
-Workdesk with Cordless Phone
-2 Large Screen TV's-Cable TV with HBO
-Refrigerator-Microwave-Wetbar

Not sure which to go for.

[captchris]

I wish I could book the Radisson, but have to wait until June to finalize my travel arrangements. I have to make sure I am not getting transferred. I don't want to make airline arrangements for Hartford if I live near, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Cincinnati, etc.

If our flight arrangements get us to MCO late, we will stay at the MCO Hyatt, but I would really like to get in earlier so we can have a good meal again at Grills!

I may be wrong, but I don't think the rate is non-refundable. If you want to go there, I'd book the room. You could always cancel it later.

Diane and I ate there and food was excellent in 2005. In fact, we arrived late when they were closing lunch and they still served food to us, we were starved from not eating on the plane...Only had Southwest Peanuts...Company Plane..;)

Didn't eat at the pool, but did have some drinks...:thumbsup2

According to my confirmation the rate is refundable as long as you cancel by Oct. 21, 2009.

Our list of BOBers wanting to stay at the Radisson sure has grown. :banana: I am in the process of working on getting more rooms added for our group because between those that are already on the list and others that are expressing an interest in staying there the night before we will need more rooms for the BOBers.

If anyone is interested in possibly staying at the Radisson Fri. Oct. 23, 2009 please let me know so that I can try and get an idea how many more rooms I should have added to our contract if I can. With us still being at more than a year out I don't think I'll have a problem, I'm just waiting for the woman I have been working with at the Radisson to return my call or email from this morning.

We're still trying to decide what to do. We are debating on one of the three ideas:

1 - Checking out Vero Beach resort pre-cruise.
2 - MNSSHP pre-cruise. I think going ON Halloween might be too busy for us.
3 - Radisson at the Port

Depends on what you want/need I guess.

We don't need anything fancy, we will be arriving around supper time and grabbing a bite to eat and then some pool time. Early to bed and then maybe some room service breakfast and then off to the port. :thumbsup2

You can book now and cancel with no charges up until 10/21 I believe.
Was Grills that good???

I vote for #3 ;)

We went on Halloween night in 2005 and it wasn't as busy as people kept telling me it was going to be.

[captchris]

Grills was pretty good. It sure beat the McDonalds for breakfast at the airport and lunch at McDonalds outside of the airport. I will say though, the service at the MCO off airport McDonalds was quite good as was my quarter pounder. :rotfl2:

That sounds terrible, but I really don't like McDonalds!

It doesn't hurt to book a room at the Radisson, no $$ is needed now, you can cancel up to a day or two ahead of time and not have to pay for the room.

That sounds like a good plan. The budget shuttle was fast but we were seperated for 15-20 minutes.

[Laxmom]

I'm not sure what we will do. We were thinking of coming down a couple of days early to do F&W or MNSSHP. Haven't even decided if we are going to use a car service or rent a car. It is just the 2 of us this time so easier to manage than 6.

That sounds like a good plan. The budget shuttle was fast but we were seperated for 15-20 minutes.

Plus, once you get in the terminal, there really isn't anywhere to go. Suz will go secure our spot in line and DS will watch some cartoons.

The key for us is to get the #2 boarding pass. :thumbsup2

I was browsing around the well known travel sites today and am considering looking into flying out of one of the NY airports for our cruise. The prices look good from White Plains, and LaGuardia. The prices are based on this years dates, but promising nonetheless.

[millerpjm]

It doesn't hurt to book a room at the Radisson, no $$ is needed now, you can cancel up to a day or two ahead of time and not have to pay for the room.

I wish we could book at the Radisson....but with the whole crew of family coming, it's going to be quite a trick of logistics to get us all to port. I think we're going to end up doing what we did for '07 - stay at a hotel near the airport (probably not the Hyatt), get our own ground transportation Saturday morning, and get to port by 9:30-10:00 am. Last time, I got about the last #2 boarding pass (which I traded to Tart and Dawg since my mom ended up with a #3) which was just fine.

I guess I'll just have to wait and see all my DIS buddies at port!

Chris - I was wondering how you were getting airline prices already! :confused3

We live in Southern WI but flew out of Chicago Midway last year - I got a good rate. I have no idea how much it will cost this time.

Jeff - when will flights be released for our dates? I know you know....

I think the major airlines, (American, United, Delta, Continental, etc) will post their rates and schedules 330 days out. The LCC will be closer to the dates.

It's not a whirlpool that has standing water in it, it is one like you'd have in your master bath at home, you fill it when you use it.

I hope they scrub the tub after each guest. :scared:

All airlines except Air Tran should be out at 330 days. You'd have to calc from the day you're going go down to get the outbound.

Now if you're doing the round trip, you'll have to wait until 330 days from that date.

Since there are 365 from 2008 to 2009, just add 35 days to the date you plan on coming back (or flying out if booking 2 one-ways). We plan on Nov 1st, so that would be December 5th (I think).

I always start looking a couple days earlier just in case it happens to pop up early. Plus, I usually start checking at midnight each day.

[JLDSMD]

I think the major airlines, (American, United, Delta, Continental, etc) will post their rates and schedules 330 days out. The LCC will be closer to the dates.

Well Andy, I didn't read ahead today either. Guess you and I are back to that again. :rotfl2:

[JLDSMD]

So, now that we started the new thread everyone disappears? :confused3

[JLDSMD]

Fine, I'm taking my FO and going home. :snooty:

It's not a whirlpool that has standing water in it, it is one like you'd have in your master bath at home, you fill it when you use it.

I hope they scrub the tub after each guest. :scared:
Yeah we had one in our old house in Maine. The realtor told me the bleach trick on how to clean it. The problem is that crap and gunk get in the jets and just sits there with soap, and other stuff.

[goofyfreak]

Here is a short video of my ride home from the babysitters. Harrison always wants to sing his song and gets VERY upset if anyone else sings it also. He is screaming "NOT YOUR SONG".:rotfl2:

View the 2nd video it is the one that I got him doing it. The first one is me trying to get him to sing and he wants me to turn the phone around and not video him.;)

We hardly use ours at all. Heck, DS uses it more than we do. In fact, he was just in it a couple nights ago. Before that, it was him who was last in it.

Everyone wants one when they buy or build, but no body uses them. The big thing now are the "spa" showers. Now that I would like to have. I take a shower everyday, can't remember the last time I sat in the tub.

Yeah we rarely used ours. My kids when they were younger would accidently turn the jets on and became terrified of the bathtub for a while!

[Verandah Man]

How early did you head over?

Also, how many "stay ons" were there? Wasn't there quite a few for that cruise?


We got drpped off at 10am, but didn't get our boarding pass until 11am. There were 29 families that stayed for the 5 day after the 15 day repo.

The natural bridge and the beaches are lovely. We did a jeep tour and it was great. I'll post some pics at the weekend.

Thanks. We have a dune buggy tour that should take us to Natural Bridge. I also plan on spending a lot of time on the beach under an umbrella!

[goofyfreak]

Good morning all!

Are you cruising in or staying on island? We were there last year for a week and love, love, love Aruba!! We would rather go there than Hawaii. The people are more friendly, the flight is more manageable and the cost of things was less than Hawaii. Any questions, just ask.

We are staying there for a week. Scott and I are going with 4 other couples. The kids are staying home this time. We can't wait. PM me everything you thing we should no miss. Thanks. Would also love to see pics.

We went to Palm beach twice. If you are staying on the island and in the hi-rise area, you will be on Palm beach.

The water there is awesome. :thumbsup2

Cute videos Lori, kids, gotta love 'em!!! :goodvibes

[captchris]

I would love to take a Southern Caribbean cruise some day. The ship we went on our first cruise was repositioning to a 10 island 11 night itinerary from San Juan. That seemed to be very popular reading the cruise critic boards. I would love to go to Barbados, St. Barts, St. Kitts, Aruba, etc.

[goofyfreak]

Are you going to a hotel, time-share, or condo?

We are staying at one of the couples time share. I believe it is La Cabana. I don't know much about it since they have done the planning and booking. That is sooooo not like me.

They have 7 night cruises out of San Juan to those destinations.

You can get to Aruba, Cartagena, Panama on an 11 night cruise out of Miami (round trip) also.

If you do 9 or 10 nights, you can get to the Islands you mentioned as well.

I just can't figure out why DCL sails at 18 knots to go to St. Maarten all the time when they could sail at 23 for those first 2 sea days and get to Antigua or some other island further down.

Then go to St. Thomas or better yet, maybe go to San Juan once in a while.

Need something different than their usual two Caribbean itineraries.

We would go back there again on a cruise ship (wouldn't stay there for a vacation). Lots to see.

Wow Jeff enjoy that mandatory meeting. Mandatory meetings always feature the things in life that require the most common sense. I just salute and go, but usually dread them!

However, the one mandatory meeting that I will always go to happily is a "muster drill" :thumbsup2

Thanks! When we took off on this flight my daughter said to me, "Daddy there is lightning out there." I said to her that it was just the strobe light on the plane she was seeing, but sure enough there was a storm coming in.

When we did our climbout it was really interesting to see the storm from a different angle. You could see the cloud tops surging and the frequent lightning. It was really quite a show.

The highlight of my day is sitting at the practice field with the other moms goofing off. Today we discussed buying shoes at discount stores. I complained that nothing good is left for a 7 1/2 shoe. My friend can wear a 5 1/2 or 6 and finds all the good stuff. One mom said that at a size 9 1/2 she only can find what the drag queens won't wear!:lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

It's the same stuff every year. Then we have to go to the classroom. Not sure what was different then when the teacher came to the house? :confused3

I really wonder if they would track us down if we didn't go. Not sure if Suz signed us in or not.

We did get a sheet from the teacher with DS's name on it, so may be they'd know that way.

Guess I need to plan vacation for this week each year. They ought to love that. :rotfl:

I find myself checking every few minutes, but it is usually while I'm at work. :rotfl:

[JLDSMD]

Well, since the meeting at school screwed up my working at home, and since I was up late last night and up early this morning, and since I'm tired, I'm going to bed.

Good night.

I've been catching up on this thread. WOW!

Mike and Robin--what precious grandbabies!!!

I soooo know that feeling. We have to attend a Food Bank Meeting once a quarter. One day we had a freak breakdown with one of our vehicles. Our full size van had the power window motor break in the dead of winter and had to go in for emergency repair. Elaine had our other car in Hartford for a meeting. It was like getting an Executive Order from the President to get excused to basically a housekeeping meeting where they just go over procedure and blah, blah, blah. I felt like a little kid at the principal's office and not an executive!
