05/09/2009 May 9, 2009 7-Night Eastern St Maarten... Watch Out!

[scottie]

As I was cleaning out our closet in the garage this evening looking for a piece of luggage for my sister to borrow for her cruise this week... I came to the realization we only have one large piece of luggage and then some smaller ones. Oh my... I guess I will be shopping online tonight for another 29" piece!

Kristen, we (meaning someone else) did this for our westbound Panama Canal cruise. Here is a link to the archived site: http://www.tiggerfan.net:81/canal/

Each thumbnail opened a larger picture. It was great for putting faces to screen names and made it a lot easier to spot people on the ship. If we did this sort of thing for this cruise, we could add a column for the FE participants, special occasions, a link to the FE map at the top, a page for excursions, and any other info we can think of.

I'm not the most artistic or technical, but I can whip something simple up if enough people are interested in seeing a list with photos.

Steve,

This is a great idea. We're in!

Kristen -

I'm fine with adding the last two families to the FE list. I think there is still enough time to prepare for them.

Jennifer

I'm fine with the additions too!

I put together a quick 'n dirty site based on our first page roster and previous FE list (before today's )

http://pages.suddenlink.net/airtime247/

Please take a look to see if you think it would work for us before I invest any real time into it. Also please make sure the link works to our photo. This is the first time I've tried uploading anything to my new ISP so I don't know if I did it correctly.

The site is not much to look at yet but I just want to see if it's functional and if it's something we may use.

If anyone more artistic than I am (and who isn't?) would like to make it pretty, I can definitely use the help! I don't care for the background but it was all I could find that wasn't too loud.

If you want me to post a photo, please email me at AIRTIME247 <at> SUDDENLINK <dot> NET. For other changes or to help fill in the blanks, you can either PM me or post here and I'll update them as they come in.

I'd really like to get everyone's hometowns. This was a fun thing to look at to see who was near us. Maybe I'll scan through the thread if I get some time.

I must say that when we are on vacation we snack alll day long, so to eat that early I dont think we will like it...???

That is a main reason we have always done late seating, regardless of the age of our kids. We find ourselves never hungry while on the cruise with all the options between breakfast/lunch/deck 9/room service.

We also like that we don’t feel that we are having to wrap up our "sun" time maybe as early in a rush to get ready for early dinner .

That’s just us though and I see both sides to the never-ending discussion of early vs. late seating.

My thoughts to the T!!! The only problem that I am having is that when I asked out TA to change us to late she refused! she said with the ages of our kids we NEED early. So we will try it the first night and if I find it to not be working for us I will asked to be moved to late. Do you think I will have a problem doing this?

Good question, I have always heard there is a waitlist for people wanting early dining so I would guess you could do it because someone would be excited to drop to early dining. However, I havent read much about changing after the first day when you board so I am not sure if that would change anything? My guess is this would still work... but I am not for sure.

 

[YenSid1222]

I have always LOVED the late dining. I am still doing "stuff" when I see the early diners lining up. Plus, I don't want to feel rushed to get to the show (if it is a show night. I like seeing a show then heading to a post-show dinner..feels much more like an evening that I would do in New York or something.

I think we're all going to have a great time either way...but I have stressed this one myself. We had late seating, but my wife wanted early cuz of the kids (5,3,1) so we were able to get early...but ever since I've really thought that late might be better!
However it plays out, just be glad you get to share a meal with either Scottie's family or mine...because we're both just really funny guys and your meal is guaranteed to be one to remember!
(Scottie, please start being funny. Anytime now.)

We are on the waiting list for early if i don't get ready for dinner i would miss the shows. So it keeps me on schedule.
As for changing after the first night not sure if they will but it doesn't hurt to ask i know we have changed tables before but not with this line.
