[hmansure]

your a very caring parent and there is nothing wrong with that. my parents were in your position too. when i was on my frist cruise this past august, my parents let me do what ever i wanted to do on the ship but they gave me some ground rules. i was 15 then, im 16 now LOL. they gave me my freedom on the ship to hang out with the other teens but when it came to getting off the ship and going on the excursions in Nassau, i had to be with my parents at all times. i never left their sight. but i'll be 17 by the cruise and my parents are probably gunna give me the same rules and stuff. im gunna be in the Stack probably every time im on the ship LOL so i hope i can meet teens my age or around my age. i hope i can get to know Samuel and the other teens that are on the DIS going on this cruise.

I hope my kids have a positive outlook like this when they're your age! DS was 11 on our last cruise and spent most of his time at Ocean Quest and he's looking forward to having some more freedom next time.

Paula-

Since I used to be a TA, I usually book all my own. Last cruise, I gave the ressie to a friend so she could get commission but I did most of the legwork and got no OBC. This time I transferred with Kristin's TA to get the OBC. I'm a ressie control freak too but I suppose when it comes to cruising with no pre/post cruise stay other than 1 night, it's pretty cut and dry.

I'm sure this was covered somewhere in the last 7,000 posts, but Im too lazy to go back and search - what is Kristin's TA offering?

Nikki-

I just read that New Kids on the Block are staging a comeback, which made me think of you!

I'm so there, and I have to take my DD Jordan to see her namesake. Yeah, I'm going for her, definately her.

She doubled my OBC from booking onboard. Plus I had $50 OBC for CC member. So I have $450.

This is what we have now for 2 staterooms.... A $200 OBC from booking on board.... the additional $50 CC offer for each stateroom, and a $100 credit for each stateroom from TA.

Tonight on the Dis..... Did Abby resolve her sports bra problems? What's up with ED? What did Kristin's husband say when he returned home from a business trip to find out she's been watching Playboy women jumping on trampolines? Will the Dis censor Harry again? All these questions and more may be answered on the next episode of.......

Well I think that is different based on the cabin you have.
In my case I got an extra 300 OBC on top of the OBC I had from Disney for booking on board and then the Castaway Cay member benefit if you booked with DCL within the first ten days when this cruise went on Sale.

The OBC was only part of the reason I went with Carol, she responded so quickly to any of my questions before I even switched to her.
I haven't been disappointed yet.

Thank you, Basic electrical I will tackle , but the large items I leave for the experts. In my younger days I used to repair power supplies.

I am also a Amateur Radio operator ( Ham radio) that is.

Ed-

Did you ever come to the Hamvention when it was in Vandalia (Dayton) Ohio? It was this HUGE HAM event but unfortunately a couple of years ago it was moved to a different location.

Strange weather. It's sunny and 43 here at that moment. We spent the last couple of hours outside running around the yard. The kids have friends over - it's chaos here!

We wandered over to Wawa and walked into Tony Meola, former goalie for the U.S. National Soccer Team, and considered a pretty big soccer "legend" - if there is such a thing here! Fairly exciting day for the boys! DD is playing on the swings - it's nice to hear the sounds of kids laughing and playing in the middle of the winter.

That is cool... Has the chaos ended???!!!!!!!

 

[PrincessMom2002]

Abby, back from the gym?

Yup. No horror stories of nekkidness though. No lewd pictures to share. No treadmill hogs today. It was a pretty tame visit today. The pool was packed though! Geesh. This place is always packed on the weekends. Weeknights are a great time to swim because there have been times we've had the pool to ourselves. That suits me just fine because then I can go down the dragon slide and not make a fool of myself in front of strangers!

 

[kritter]

That's a shame - hopefully you've left by now...

He is home now!!!!!!!!!

Harry - you are too funny for your own good!

Karen, do you use a travel agent in the US or one over there? I am curious..I have always booked everything myself but now with the OBC's that everyone is offering I have transferred to a ta. I like having control...Need to get over that! I moved our August trip to DU...

Just wondering who most people currently use...

Abby, Ed, Tonya, Nikki and I used the same TA.. SHe is great she will match any OBC you have. Just ask any of them what a GREAT offer they all have gotten. .I emailed you her information!!!!!!!

Family movie night,

We are about to bathe the kids, read with them, then watch We Are Marshall.

Kristin-If I don't call you tonight please don't take it personally!!! DH was kind of giving me "that look" last night because I was dis'ing so late. So tonight I figured I better watch a movie with him.

 

[kritter]

Paula,

I know the feeling, for most of my trips I don't use a TA as I like total control, but when it comes to cruising, I decided to use a TA, as its nice to have another resource to help me.

This cruise I am using Kristin's TA. I found her responces fast and I got a great OBC too.

She really is Great....Glad, you like her ED!!!!!!!!!

 

[PrincessMom2002]

He is home now!!!!!!!!!

Good! It's good to be away and miss them! I actually encourage DH to go on yearly golf trips with his buddies. This year he says he isn't going though. Is the man crazy or what?! I WANT him to go! Get out of my hair for a week so I can miss him.

Nikki, She is GReat. SOrry forgot to mention your name in my last post!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He is home now!!!!!!!!!

Kristin-

Did you survive the nephews or did they end up not coming because of DH's flight delay? Did you tell DH that with any luck sometime before the cruise he'll have two tall blonde women jumping on his trampoline instead of just one? Ooh ooh, I wanna be Holly! OMG, sorry. It's a Sunday night folks. I do NOT know where my manners are. Kristin, if you want to be Holly then you can be Holly.
