Wow! I'm bummed that it's taken me so long to find your TR, but now that I have, I can't stop reading it! You look like such a fun group! I'm definitely sticking around.
Karin, definitely do the Eastern!!! It is so beautiful and so exotic!!! So far that is the best thing we have ever done!
Karin!! Did you see this? [/COLOR]
very cute Tyler baby pictures, but she still has some of that little boy left in him!
Who would not love to have three so great looking men taking you to dinner! Your family looks beautiful all dressed up and I think your dress went extremely well with the black and white of the tuxes.
i am soooo far behind. Love the three way mud mess and skipping desserts. So much to read and comment on. I have this funny feeling my sides are going ache for days in May.
The boys are so handsome in their tuxes. I loved the baby pictures reminds me of my sons. They grow up so fast, mine were such cute babies & now they are big hairy men! Treasure these times, they mean so much.
I am treasuring them...although mine already are a little on the hairy side....
I really loved St. John, the park was so beautiful. We didn't get to see much of Grand Cayman because of arriving late, plus it was raining. Our first cruise was eastern & the second was western. The second was our cruise from hell.
My favorite thing on a cruise was to get a boat drink, put my feet on the rail & watch the ocean.
OMG, those pictures of Tyler are so adorable. I love to see kids photos and how they have grown. And he has gone from so cute to so handsome. I had a little bit of a tear in my eye just looking at them. They grow so fast. Thanks for sharing those with us.
AWW....that's so sweet, Chris! I tear up when I look at them, too. Yesterday we had fun looking at the pictures in the scrapbook I pulled out...well, it was fun for me- Tyler just wanted it to stop!
And as for the service for your dessert. . . . . . what's up with that? I don't get the way they serve when you go to dinner. What always torks us off is that we could be the first in our section to be seated but seems like we are always the last served. Why? Who knows. But it is very frustrating. We have let the Head Waiter know about this and it seems to get better after saying something. But still, I don't think there is any reason it should make you late for a show that you are wanting to see. Better luck at your next dinner.

Somehow I didn't get notifications for all new posts here yesterday!
Believe me ........ this morning my inbox was overflowing!
Thanks for the thumbs up on the Eastern Caribbean! Now all I need to do is convince Tom, then on the other hand ....... he is EASY to convince when it comes to DCL!
Thanks for the recommendation and thanks for pointing me in the right direction, Ellen! to both of you!
Even I am nearly convinced that I need to go on the Eastern Caribbean... I guess I will be watching the September/October 2012 cruises on the Fantasy when they will come out...
Do you know if he was a regular Magic server? Or was he new or from the Wonder?
Good luck convincing Tom! But I bet it won't be a problem!
I don't know. After introducing himself the first night, his first name and home country was all I ever learned about him. Other than asking us where we were from, he never interacted with us on any personal level after that. It was odd. The wait staff at our local Chili's is more personable!
Our drink server was very nice, even though I think he was relatively new to the Magic. He and my husband had a discussion about different kinds of beer one night. He let me know if there were certain specialty drink I would or would not enjoy. He brought extra crayons for the kids, made them hats, told them jokes and did magic tricks!
Wow that water is clear! What is that ball the boys were playing with? Looks like something that you get soaked, throw at each other and see who can leave the biggest bruise.
Looking at the pic of the three ships do you remember what ship it was on the left?
Problem solved! Sat him down and showed him your photos and he was all for it!
So, if all goes well, we'll cruise on both the Dream and the Fantasy b2b (I still call it b2b even if we have to stay on dry land for a day! ) in 2012!!!
Your photos are wonderful! The beach looks great. Not so sure about the tendering though, but the boats look huge enough. I am not very good with "small" boats on BIG oceans!
Sorry about your eyes! Hope they didn't bother you too much all day!
Food looks yummy - drink =
Yum, yum the breakfast buffet looks really good. Look at your plate, full of healthy stuff. Me, I would have had a plate full of bacon and more bacon, and some potatoes and mushrooms, plenty of mushrooms. Oh, and the watermelon also.
Oh my gosh, I have a whole lot here to comment on!!!
Sea Day- your time at the pool looks wonderful. Couldn't have been a lovelier day. The Italian buffet at Topsiders loooks good too, did you know I did not step foot into Topsiders the entire cruise!?!?! Strange!!!
What the heck did ya eat???
I don't see Brendan in your Edge pics from that morning...he was in there somewhere (probably with his face buried in a computer). You know what's funny, in the dodgeball pic I said to Ron "Oh look! There he is!" Uh, nope....that was Tyler. Now I am recognizing your kids as my own! HA!
That totally made me ! He was at the computer, by the way. I remember seeing him in there, I probably said hello.
When you guys were at the martini tasting, we were right down the hall at the beer tasting. (I *knew* we picked the wrong one but Ron wanted beer, so.....) LOL! And we must have missed you by minutes up at the pool, we were up there for a short time after brunch but it must have been right when you guys went to eat.
It's like we're living in parallell universes ....
The room of naughty mud nookie for three...wow, you only see this on Disney folks. And they say DCL is just for kids, pshaw! What do they know!?!?! Although we better keep it quiet or the swingers will start bringing their group cruises over from the Carny ships....
So THAT's where all our friends were!! No wonder we couldn't find a third! REALLY????
You all look so lovely on formal night! Dinner that night was wonderful, I agree.....and I am SO sorry you had to wait for (and never got) dessert. I think that night it may have been the kitchen as we had to wait a ridiculous amount of time too, and we couldn't split because that was Brendan's birthday celebration (Which we LOST the video of....UGH! ) I wish we could have made A&S's adult performance, I bet they were hilarious!!!!
They were funny, of course. I wonder what was up in the kitchen? So sorry about Brendan's video!! And also for not realizing it was his birthday!!
Cayman, Sea Grape looks like a really nice beach, can't get over how clear that water is, looks like you guys were swimming in a pool!! The food looks tasty and the call-it-whatever-you-want-colava...yummmeh!
It was a good day- I like Cozumel a whole lot better than GC, though...
And I have to comment on your Tyler mini TR. Look out mama, you are in for some trouble with that one, the girls will be all over him (if not already! ) That is what I could not believe when I first saw ya'll, how much the boys (but especially Tyler) had grown up. Sigh. If only we could keep 'em little ones forever.... (er...ahh...babies or preschool age, we can skip this terrible twos stage!)
I remember you saying that. The girls do seem to like Tyler- but he is too shy to make a move. I have seen them crowd around him in giggle fits both at school and at the pool- but he doesn't make any moves and is kind of oblivious.
OMG- Terrible Twos...and even more Terrible Threes....maybe I'm glad they're old!
Can't wait for more! I need to catch up again!!
Okay so now I REALLY want to go on another cruise. RIGHT NOW!!!
Not going to happen this year though I think....I have a trip in May and then October....so maybe the following year but then again you never know.... That would be SO AWESOME if they really did dock one of the ships in NY...no flight Speaking of flight.....that was a nice flight of tinis you had!!!
.I really thought my neighbor was going to buy ...Sue-- the one that went with me in May well....she just left her husband after 24 years and moved in with some guy over an hour away....I haven't talked to her since Her (soon to be ex-husband I guess) is soooooooo nice and this guy...I mean who knows all I have heard is that they went to school together way back when and connected on Facebook
