I found on the Med cruise, whilst it was 11 nights we missed a lot as we were so busy with the 7 ports, On the Panama cruise in 05 and I expect in 08 there is lots more time to enjoy the ship.

.

We were on the Med repo in Aug and it was very relaxing (btw we are booked on the PC repo Aug 2008, so see you there!).


'The people on the Med cruise were so so nice, some had a meet in New York this weekend.'
Sounds a fab idea. I can't believe how this has become such an active thread already.

Here are our details for your list:
Joan
DS Tom 17
DD Sophie 15
Cat 7 6134
Late dining
Will stay at WDW after cruise in DVC

Very nice OBC!

Fab to have you with us...

 

[CustardTart]

...Will stay at WDW after cruise in DVC...

At which resort(s) are you a DVC member, Joan? We bought in earlier this year - despite going for the tour back in 2000 we just never really 'got it' until we took everyone (2 grown-up kids and partners, Samuel, DH's niece and ourselves) to the Polynesian in summer 2006 and the cost was !!! Suddenly DVC seemed like a fabulous idea...

We're thinking of staying at AKV post-cruise, as this will be our first opportunity to use those points...

 

[kritter]

Very nice OBC!

Thanks, I was pretty happy with it. For my Oct. cruise. She was able to put together anyone who booked with her as a "group." So we all got an extra discount higher OBC and we are getting either a welcome cocktail reception or Palo's Brunch. Plus, in room stateroom gifts. So it is a nice little extra stiff. Plus, twice or cruise price has gone down to more people booking with her.

So not sure if anyone would be interested in trying to get a group together here?? Just let me know I can PM you her information..

sorry made a double post!!!!!

Here is a Funny Pirate Christmas Song:

Sparrow, the Pirate (sung to the tune of "Frosty, the Snowman")

Sparrow, the pirate, was a jolly, happy guy,
With a beaded beard and a mustache, too,
And some black around his eye.

Sparrow, the pirate, is a witty one they say,
He could trick a man with a clever plan,
And then call it all a day.

There must have been some magic in that compass that he had.
For when he held it in his hand, he could steer to secret land.

Oh, Sparrow, the pirate, is the best out on the seas.
Though he needs a bath and some new teeth, too,
He will do just what he'll please.

Scallywag, savvy? Scallywag, savvy?
Look at Sparrow sail.
Scallywag, savvy? Scallywag, savvy?
This is his grand, big tale!

Wow Kristin! That's such a fab deal with some great 'extras'! Sadly, we've already booked through a TA and I have a good relationship with her for getting our preferred stateroom etc. Maybe next time tho' - I'm a sucker for a welcome cocktail. Actually, I'm a sucker for an anytime cocktail but that's another story..

Love the song - I'm gonna post it on my other thread if that's OK..?

Yes, Of course you can I got some other ones so I will post them..

Oh, I totally understand if you have a good realtionship then you have to stay where your happy/comfortable.I just wanted to offer in case anyone else was interested.....

Here is another song:

Deck the Ships (to be sung to the tune of "Deck the Halls")

Deck the ships with lots of booty, yo ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho,
'Tis the season to be looting, yo ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho.
Don we now our pirate clothing, yo ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho.
Think of us with lots of loathing, yo ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho.

Set the blazing town before us, yo ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho.
Cannons fire and join the chorus, yo ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho.
Give us all your gold and treasure, yo ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho.
Then your maidens'll give us pleasure! Yo ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho!

 

[kritter]

One more:

Pirate Ships (sung to the tune of "Jingle Bells")

We're dashing through the seas, in a two-mast pirate ship,
O'er the waves we go, laughing all the way (yo ho ho!),
The sails and skull-flag wave, making pirates bright,
What fun it is to sail and sing a pirate song tonight!

Pirate ships, pirate ships, yo ho all the way.
Oh, what fun it is to sail in a two-mast pirate ship.
Pirate ships, pirate ships, yo ho all the way.
Oh, what fun it is to sail in a two-mast pirate ship!

Did we agree on a name for the group yet??
I looked up Tortola and it means: Turtle Dove

We could put a twist on the name and call our group the: Turtle Tortolas and then if we do T-shirts,etc we can place a sea turtle on them. What do you think??
Or we could call the group: DCL"S sea Tortolas group?
Just tring to think of any idea?LOL

I think Andrew's making a list of potential name suggestions on the 1st post. I love the fact that Tortola means Turtle Dove - might be nice to include that in a logo..?

Just wanted to add a cruise style ticker to remind me of how long...

At which resort(s) are you a DVC member, Joan? We bought in earlier this year - despite going for the tour back in 2000 we just never really 'got it' until we took everyone (2 grown-up kids and partners, Samuel, DH's niece and ourselves) to the Polynesian in summer 2006 and the cost was !!! Suddenly DVC seemed like a fabulous idea...

We're thinking of staying at AKV post-cruise, as this will be our first opportunity to use those points...

We bought into VWL in 2000 (never took a tour - my dh just decided and that was that!) and added on at AKV on the med repo. Sophie and I are going to stay at AKV in April 08 - we've stayed at AKL and loved it. I've seen the mockups at SSR, when I whizzed over there on my own after the cruise, and wasn't disappointed. Now I'm waiting to see the new ones that materialise!
