08/15/2009 -Eastern- Tortola Treasure Seekers

[Andrew DEREK UK]

I went through the thread, so far, and tried to cut and paste where everyone had put some detail of their group in a post, and then put it on post 1 of the thread, if anyone has been missed it most likley was there wasnt too much detail.

If you post your details;

Disname/your first name
Names and ages
Location
Cat
main/late dinner
How many cruises
pre/post stay

I will add to the front.

...If they are all done in the same format they could be cut and posted into the first post...

Here's a more concise resume, Andrew...

Me: Karen (46)
DH: Richard (46)
DS: Samuel (16)

Cat 4 8088
Late dinner
6th Cruise on DCL
Post cruise stay in AKV...

 

[CustardTart]

Good ideas! Should be think of a name with Tortola in it somehow?

...I would suggest we hold back on a name for a while, as the cruise only was released this week, firstly to allow as many people as possible to find the thread, by a search, and secondly it would be nice to include as many as possible with the discussion of the name, Thoughts?

The Tortola Treasure Seekers just sprang to mind...

Updated,

If we can keep this format it will be easy to read and understand ,and easy to copy in.

Maybe later we can, or have someone create an excel list, but still very early days.

Thats a nice name! Like that.

any other suggestions?
Lets leave it, just now to ensure new cruisers find us quickly, I see at least one thread was started, yesterday, then with agreement we can change.

We did the great list of names cabins etc for the Med cruise and also there is one for my Panama in 08, so its a great idea, we need some format and then I could post these on the first post.

It would be good for

Names and ages
Location
Cat
main/late dinner
How many cruises
pre/post stay

If they are all done in the same format they could be cut and posted into the first post.

I think as word gets out more will join us within weeks

Thanks Andrew!!

Hi everyone! I just booked this cruise - it will be me, DH and DD (who will be 7 at the time)...Aug 15 will be our 11th anniversary. I can't wait for Tortola!

Sue-

My DD will be happy to see another 7 year old girl on the ship! We couldn't convinve our kids to stay in the kids clubs on our last cruise but I'm hoping this time they will "meet" some other kids beforehand and WANT to stay at least for a little while!!

Abby

...Aug 15 will be our 11th anniversary...

Congratulations, Sue!!! Something else to celebrate!!!

Anyone else got an excuse to party???

I know what you mean, my daughter is a bit too old, at 13 at cruise time, my son will be 10, they like to get to know other kids on the cruise by pen-friends before the cruise, then they meet up quickly and go straight to the clubs, particularly as we have two sea days at the start for the clubs.

However as mine are on the 2008 repo first, ( and do not know about this cruise as yet) I would want them to get to know kids on the REPO first, as last Med cruise they were confused expecting some kids on the Med cruise but they are on the 2008 cruise!

We just miss out on the 2009 cruise Wedding anniversary 30th, maybe still in Florida and Sons birthday on 3rd September.

We will have our anniversary on the Magic in 2008, and DS has had a couple of birthdays on previous cruises, just misses out in 2008.

Some point we will get a list together.

 

[CustardTart]

We just miss out on the 2009 cruise Wedding anniversary 30th...

Ooh I think I'd be celebrating throughout the whole vacation, Andrew! That's too big a milestone not to! We celebrated our 25th on the Magic in September - it was fantastic and we thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience...

...We couldn't convinve our kids to stay in the kids clubs on our last cruise...

This is the only aspect of cruising that I'm nervous about. Our DS is a mature teenager and won't be trying out the teen club until next August. He's a sociable chap and I just really hope he enjoys the experience - oh well, fingers crossed...
