Wow, that's scary about your son! I'm glad it all worked out in the end
Tara, I'm loving your trip report, and I can SO relate to your worry about your son! I'll look forward to what lies ahead!
Wow, Tara, after such an awesome day on St John & such beautiful pictures! I'm so sorry you had to go through that ordeal with your son. Whatever was he thinking?! Not having kids of my own, I can't imagine what that must have felt like. It's going to be really interesting to hear how the rest of your cruise unfolds!
Realized I'd missed your St Martin report. Sorry the island was not as nice as you hoped. I really do want to get to Maho Beach to see the planes some day.
well since I don't have kids I don't understand how you felt about your son being missing for that time, but I can kind of understand why my dad use to stalk(know where I was at night). He doesn't anymore since I am 24. I can understand your son wanting to be out with friends though, I've had plenty of late nights, till 4:00am once
I just wanted to say congrats on that win.
We had 48 out of 50 (missed Proclaimers and Tight Fit -- never would have come up with that group; I was thinking of the version by the Nylons but couldn't remember their name).
That cruise was the first time I've seen the ear buds as prizes, so I'm glad we did end up winning some finally.
I can only imagine how much anxiety your son gave you that night. I don't have kids, but I remember worrying my parents at least a couple of times when I was home from college.
I think that was also the night of the Pop! game show? If I'm remembering correctly, by leaving early you missed quite a show in the Tube that night.
Just finished reading your latest report...and proceeded to chew out my 9-yr-old daughter, just to be proactive! (Naturally, she is still too young for a curfew, but I figure it doesn't hurt to begin discussing this issue as soon as possible, including the consequences when/if she pulls this stunt.) Glad that everything was ok in the end!
I am really enjoying your report! we leave in 12 days with our 16 year old DD and 11 year old DS. Your report is giving me lots to ponder and will help us be proactive. Can't wait to read more. I would have a really hard time coming up with a suitable consequence too - one that wouldn't end up being a punishment for the parents as well! Thanks for sharing your experiences!
Were the teenagers in the Royal Suite? I say this as I know they had a teenage girl in the Walt Disney Suite & we were right next to it. They always seemed to be having people over there.

If I could do that, I think I would have publishers knocking down my door!! Let's send pixie dust to each other that we get it in the next 20 years!!

AWWW!! 48!! That Tight Fit missed us all up! If you were sitting close to us you could have heard him shout Proclaimers 10 songs later and we could have tied!!! Oh don't even have me thinking about college breaks, eek!!! We were soo exhausted that night...wait! I think we did stay for the Pop game!! That was where they had to match the cards, right?? Yes! We left right after that...they were hilarious!! We got back to the room around 11:30 right after Pop
Ok, if you stayed through Pop, you might have seen the beginnings of the "entertainment" as it was sometime during the game when the presumably rather intoxicated guest removed her dress. She took to the dance floor after Pop.
I think it's going take all the Pixie Dust in Pixie Hollow for me to get it within the next 20 years Love my wife with all my heart, but she and I are like oil and vinegar sometimes.
The more I read your story, the more it's like looking in a mirror. I am the bargainer in my family....when we went to Nassau I bargained for everything...best deal was when I bargained for hairbraiding at 80 cents a braid versus the 2 bucks onboard. I am the dancer out of the wife and I...when we were on the Wonder I wanted to dance, but she refused.
Oh man would my kids have been in hot water had they pulled that stunt. They would have been locked in the cabin the rest of the cruise. You would have thought that girls dad would have had a little sense to send everyone out after 1 in the morning. Oh and by the way my wife is alot more flexible with curfews and rules of the house than I am.
Great trip report thus far! This is Jim (and Heather) from the cruise. We had a blast with this group
Yoda, we must have been just a few doors down from you (12508).
Yeah, parenting teens. ! Testing limits apparently - guess he found them!
I enjoyed reading about your "girls' day" on St. Maarten. I am very proud of you for being able to "let" the boys stay put. Do they have a smiley for "pat on the shoulder"? I can totally imagine myself in that situation. I think I'd also say about 1,000 times that day "Oh if they only knew what they were missing!" Important thing is that every individual did what made him or her happy. It's a vacation, right?
Just returned from a 7 day Alaskan cruise which was spectacular! Deciding on our next destination now!
Kids. Can't live with them Can't kick them out fast enough lots of love
We were there with you guys and going through most of this with you (except the heart attack that was the night before your bday!) and I'm SO loving your trip report! Gives me inspiration to write ours..Maybe-you know me! Loved eating at Palo with you guys, we had the best night, we never get out like that, it was as if we have all been friends for so many years Yes, totally agree with Mayito our server in Palo-he was absolutely incredible, awesome service, only complaint I could ever say was the wine situation...Palo trains their servers well!! We would have never even come close to drinking an entire bottle, heck you and I didn't even have a glass! What an awesome cruise, haven't gotten to your birthday yet Next year-much better!!! By the way all three of your kids are AWESOME! Love them!

Imhall2000....your trip report is AWESOME!! You have cracked me up several times. We had an issue with our oldest and a late night as well on the last cruise. We will definitely be setting up some guidelines on our upcoming Fantasy trip to the eastern carribean in March.
Was this "topless wonder" a blonde?? If so, we saw the beginning of her night during the 80's contest...Trevor even stopped and one point and said "I don't think I can stop staring"...She was just getting started at that point
Oh Jim and Yoda, I'm so sorry to say that I do believe the room they were in was near y'all...hope they did not keep you up and if you have any bulletins to share, you better let me know! Asked son today where that room was and it was on the 11th floor. He mentioned he liked the TV in the mirror..so had to be concierge floor. Aha!!! I should have been Sherlock's Watson!!
You are a good mother. I'd still be seeing red.
