WHAT?!?!? - you got money on this or something?!?
...so that you can maintain eye contact!!
(Pssst...I don't think it's the economy he's trying to stimulate.)

You were too quick for me.

) Some folks were just plain SCARY.... I won't name names..... I told my DH that someone should have told this DISer he was on a pleasure cruise with Mickey and not a military vessel heading off to war. 
Can you name this DISer? Otherwise, I did force myself to go up to most folks I recognized. Disappointed I missed out on all the evening shinanigans. Didn't know when and where folks were getting together. 
I was able to meet Pete at the Heads Up Bar. He didn't seem to recognize my name though. DH and I shared an elevator with him and Walter also. I was in a very cramped elevator with Kevin and I asked him where he was going (like it was any of my business). After giving me a weird look and asking why I wanted to know I think, he said he was going back to the room. He said John was there taking a much needed nap. I turned to my DH and said that this would be a great time to swing by and ring the doorbell then. Keep in mind, I never actually introduced myself to Kevin. He probably thinks I'm a weirdo now. I had the 'don't want to bother' attitude too but I sooo wanted to meet them. Corey and Julie were so enjoying the time with Ferris that I never would have intruded on that. I actually walked by them when they were playing in the fountain with Ferris. Corey was wielding the camera. (Julie's favorite moment on the cruise.) How can you interrupt that?! I met a few DISers but found myself shy at times. There were a couple of times I wanted to go up to Tonya but couldn't get my feet moving. She was within a couple of feet of me. I coulda just hollered at her! Slapwhitey, tmli and their son Ben were AWSOME tablemates. I would link reservations with them any time! (Not sure they feel the same way after dining with DH though.
Dodie, it was nice meeting you even if it was just in passing.
There are so many people I missed speaking and feel bad about it.

Having everyone together for the first time was a bit overwhelming. There was no way to meet everyone. I'm ashamed to say that there was a couple of times that people would walk up to me and say "hi Paul" and continue on with a conversation but I didn't remember meeting them before!
We have decided to adopt Deb's (LeftInNorway) solution.
We are enlisting her to stand at the gangway and identify each and every one of you with indelible Sharpie to the forehead.
This will not only serve as identification, but it will allow everyone to maintain eye contact.
And who knows....we may create a cruise trend......like hair braiding.
I respectfully disagree. I waited and waited and waited at the bar for you and you never showed up.Glad I was able to meet you Dara but next time you need to come out at night. You would have found us.
