... and apparently is going out like a frozen leg of lamb here in RI. AGH!!!
It's snowing outside and the forecast has my area slated for 8-12". I need some warm weather!!

I can't completely knock my state, though. A few weeks ago I went mall-walking and picked up two formal/semi-formal dresses on clearance for a total of $34.

Now if it would only warm up a bit here so I can spend more time walking in the great outdoors instead of the shopping malls. I somehow keep buying clothes under the pretense that they're "for the cruise" as if I didn't already own any garments that could be worn on the cruise.

Figures yesterday it was a beautiful sunny & warm day (well warm for us here in Ontario Canada) so what do I do but wash and vacuum the car. It was all sparkling clean driving to work today and then about 1 pm the "blizzard" started and it is still snowing here and it is bitter cold . Apparently where I live we will be getting more snow than other areas because it's coming off Lake Ontario and I don't live that far from the Lake. Yippee...more shovelling for me!!!!

Come on May!!!!

I too am buying clothes saying they're for the cruise. I now have too many clothes to choose from.

I keep checking....but still no room assignment for me & Mom. I guess we'll be joining Scott, Lynn, Kim & Bette on Deck 4 in the Life Boat Suites. I guess I should be thankful that we'll be on the ship. I don't really care where they put us. We don't plan on spending much time in our room.

Well I went "wine shopping" on Monday night. Spent over 1 1/2 hours checking out all the Ontario wines - mostly from the Niagara Region where I live. After some serious deliberations and recommendations from staff & customers I made my choice and I hope you guys will like it.

Elaine

P.S. Only 51 more days!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[first timers]

Alex-I remember running into you and Carolyn on the first afternoon of our 10 day Christmas Cruise as we were coming off the staircase. I loved your denim shirts and about the first question out of my mouth was Have you been posting on the Dis Boards and you said what's that? My DH stood there thinking I was nuts, but after he had such a great time on the cruise, I think he really understand what a "family" we all become. Can't wait to cruise again with you and be dinner mates too!

Linda

Linda, it was interesting that we saw you and Ken around the ship as well as other disboarders. It made it easier to get involved with the disboard. We met so many people on the 10 day cruise, this cruise will give us 14 days to meet people. We still call and visit with people we met on DCL cruises. This cruise will be a visit with 200 or so of our close friends. Alex

OK Linda, we saw then first. We were at lunch at topsiders and I saw their "first timer" shirts, so I said something along the lines of "you must be on the May Repo cruise also" they said "yes, and we are staying on board for the first west coast cruise as well". I then suggested that they get on the boards and include something about "first" in their ID. I did notice that you were talking to them later in the day.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm ready for a vacation!!!!!!!

[erickara]

Okay, my turn to post under my DH's sign on...This is really Kara. Welcome nitrame! I'm glad you jumped in. Sounds like you've been lurking - love it!

Now Ken and Linda, let's not fight over Alex and Carolyn! You two are too funny!

I had fogotten that Cabo is a tender port. Never had to tender in before - another first!

Okay, back to Survivor...

Cheers, Kara

Bill

We didn't want you to know what a fish was - & then when you saw it, you would think you were the special one. Now it won't be a surprise. Dang !!!!

I AM ON DIAL-UP AND GOING ABSOLUTELY

GOOD MORNING -

 

[Scott H]

Welcome aboard nitrame , you will find folk here to be very friendly and helpful. Keeping up is pretty easy by simply checking Peter’s most excellent updates. Reference all the cult comments just remember – don’t drink the Koolaid, sorry my dark humor side could not resist. “If we couldn’t laugh we would all just go insane.”

I am with you Ken, I need a vacation……..

 

[Scott H]

I have downloaded some charts to my GPS so we are all set to navigate.

DCL reservation site show Cat’s 4,5,7,8,9,10,11,12 available. Funny they don’t list the Life Boat Suites.

OK, now that the Fish has been figured out,
Do You think we should tell them about the Propeller?
Or how about that first Flush
..... and you thought taking the air seat on ToT was a big fun.

 

[meb51]

Tender only....no dock space for big ships!

Not sure how it will be in Cabo San Lucas but when we went to Cozumel several years ago, there were vendors on the tender going to and coming back from the port. It was amazing to see how much the merchandise had been discounted on the way back to the ship.

 

[nitrame]

Hi nitrame

Inquiring minds want to know more. Like name, rank and serial number. Just kidding, name will do for now.

Welcome aboard and join the fun.

Ken

Ken,

Well I go by E, I am going on this cruise with DH, DD (1/2) and our dearest friend. She is the biggest disney nut BUT has never done the Disney Curise thing. Should be fun for her.

Hey, Bill

Check out the pics of the stateroom doors at cast awayclub.com (leave out the space between cast and away...)

 

[videogal1]

how about that first Flush

Now, THAT was the only thing about cruising that freaked out Cash! WHOOSH!

 

[epjenk]

I told DH last night that I had signed us up for the DIS list and that he was not the only "reluctant" spouse. He just laughed at me- but then his next question was "Are you sure they aren't swappers?" I don't know if that would make him more or less comfortable with the DIS concept. Kidding! He has lurked on here quite a bit when we were getting ready for our two Wonder cruises. Heck- we wouldn't even have known about the repo cruise if we hadn't been lurking the boards to get ready for our May 2004 cruise. We are from the South and as the saying goes "You've gotta dance with the one that brought ya." So, DIS'ers- we shall waltz through the canal with you.

Yeah, you are right. I never did make it to Topsiders that day, but the rest of the family gorged. I was on deck six being all creative. I had to decorate 4 stateroom doors like big huge gifts with bows for those grandkids. And then I started this trend that spread throughout the ship. You should have seen me smiling when I saw other cruisers coming back on the ship in Key West with Christmas paper they had purchased and then sitting up and down the hallways decorating their doors! But it was that annoying talking Santa down the hallway that took deck 6 over the top. Thank goodness someone took it away and "hid it" until the end of the cruise!

No official "door decorating" for me this cruise! (Well.......I do have a couple of little things planned for themed days!)

When we were on Royal Carribean May 2003 on PC cruise and stopped in Cabo, there were no vendors on the tender boats. I doubt DCL would do that just for insurance liability reasons. (On second thought....if DCL made a cut on what they sold..................that's another story!)
