02/12/2012 4 Night Dream Valentine's Cruise - The Love Boat Sails Again !

[Mog's Mom]

Just looked at all our Magic Med cruise pics from June last night and it was amazing!!! We wish you an equally fabulous experience!

But looking onward and outward to the next time we are putting our energy into this cruise! We are definitely interested in doing FE's and hope others are too!!

It has been awhile since I been on the board so I just wanted to stop by and say "hi"

I haven't made any pre- or post-cruise plans yet and no air yet either. We are going to Bermuda on a cruise next month so once I am back from that, I will start to get serious about making the rest of the plans for this trip.

I hope everyone is having a great summer!

We are definitely interested in the FE as well! Already researching ideas!

We are interested in FE as well. I've got some ideas and just need to narrow it down.

We finally booked our cruise. We are celebrating our 6 year anniversary(18th-Close enough.) and valentines day too. Seeing all of you on here has got us even more excited. Looking forward to talking to all of you.

After reading all the info we would be interested in FE too.

It is great that this group is becoming more active! Welcome new cruisers! Only 200 more days to go! SW opened up flights this week, that is a sure sign that it is getting close

I can't wait! Time has really been passing since I booked the cruise

 

[jdybnsn]

Just back from my 10 night Med. cruise, so will start pulling stuff together on here shortly - I will try to use the first page of the thread to post important information, such as the FE lists (and anything else you guys think would be useful), so that it is easy to find.

Wow.....I can't believe we will be sailing again so quickly - we used to make one cruise every 2 years, but suddenly I have done 3 cruises (and a total of 24 days - which should have been 25, if the Magic had not got stuck on CC in Feb. 2010) in 18 months !! Eeek this is getting an expensive addition !

Hi all!
I am another part of the CO family cruising the 'Loveboat'. I'll have my husband, Scott, and 2 boys, Stephen (4) & Jacob (3 time of cruise) with me. Looking forward to the meet ups and FEs.

Sadly, we won't be sailing the Loveboat this time around. You are all going to have to make sure that jdybsyn and her family have a truly "Magic"al anniversary for me!

 

[chrystine]

Just staying by to say HI I hope everyone has a nice weekend!

 

[CO_Mickey]

School starts this week and looking forward to having more time to get things done!!! Was wondering when and how do we start to organize our FE stuff? I am anxious to get started!

From my experience doing the FEs, someone in our Cruise Meet volunteers to maintain a tracking spreadsheet of those who want to participate, and we collectively decide on a cut-off date for new signups, trying to choose a date that is late enough to allow late newcomers the chance to join, but not too late that it doesnt give people time to plan to buy or make their gifts. I would recommend closing out around 2 months or so prior to sailing.

Just off our first Disney cruise in July and we had to do it again. Funny, I didn't realize it was the "Love boat" until I started reading the posts. Unfortunately, there will be no romantic Valentines dinner at Remy since that is CC day and pirate night... and I will be dressed like Capt. Barbossa!!!

I have read that the weather in February is very hit-or-miss. Anyone have any past Feb. Bahamian cruse experience?

I look forwarding to chatting with you all as we get closer to Feb 12th.

Hey El Cid. " I have read that the weather in February is very hit-or-miss. Anyone have any past Feb. Bahamian cruse experience?"
This will be 3rd cruise in feb. on a 7 day we had 1 overcast day. On the last one(11 day) the weather was gorgeous. The water was choppy coming across the area where the ocean currents meet the car. currents. The bigger the ship is the less it affects us do good thing we will be on one of the largest ships

Sounds good! Thanks for the info.
