[CaptainJack]

We will not be joining you on this cruise. A friend of my daughters and her family decided they would also like to go on a Cruise. (Their first one). And, they had their hearts set on seeing Grand Cayman. So..... we rebooked for the September 22 Western.

A month???? That is awesome!!!

We are so excited about the cruise.....soon as we tax return back we can pay it off! LOL!
I know we get to book stuff 105 days out, so I got to figure out when that is! LOL! I have to get our Flounders ressies! LOL!

kamgen - 105 days out will be 06/02/07. Good luck!
As 1st timers, we can't do anything until the 75 day out. I can't wait!

 

[Bareacuda]

Welcome all newcommers!!!

Capt.Jack... glad you changed your cruise...
DH and I are on that one too!

We took almost the entire month off to do the 3 cruises!

Wow, that would be wonderful

I can't wait to be able to book our cruise, but we will most likely have to wait until summer

I have some sad news. Janet and I have transferred our Ressies to the 5 day in September of 08. My sister is traving with us on the 9/8/07 Western Cruise and has never traveled on her own. I was concerned about turning her lose after the cruise so we decided to change our plans. This girl who hates to fly is going to fly and go to the airport with my sister to assure she and her girls get home. I would just panic the whole cruise not knowing if she got home. Yes, I am just a little Co-dependent. But she is my sister and has already been through so much with the lose of the love of her life. I have her friends who can make sure she gets to WDW and I will do my best to assure she gets home in one piece.

I know that our paths will cross at some point in the future. Is anyone interested in spearheading that lunch on Thursday to celebrate our whatevers. I have a data base I can forward if anyone wants to do that. I wasn't planning a big deal just getting together for lunch and seeing if we could have cake for dessert and maybe annoucing who was celebrating what. We were planning on announcing the Secret Mickey's at the same time. Any Taker's??

Have an awesome cruise and I'll see each of you around. Lois

 

[Bareacuda]

Let me get this stright... you ar STILL doing the Sept. 8th cruise... Right??!!!
Your new ressies! WoW we were looking at that one too the other night, and still not sure what we're doing in 08.
You'll have a blast!

 

[Bareacuda]

And...
One more day closer to the cruise!

Yes, we are cruising with Twinprincesses and Ladyemmaann. Wouldn't be cool to back out on family and friends. We are still doing 6 days at the parks before the 9/8 cruise. So I plan on seeing you then. Lois

 

[Bareacuda]

Ok ! For some strange reason I read that as you cancelled both cruises!
Are there some meets doing on??? And if memory is right Ladyemmaann and I are neighbors!

 

[Jennifer48]

Have an awesome cruise and I'll see each of you around. Lois

Thank you Lois and you do the same on all your future cruises!

 

[JNorris]

We are cruising with all of you! I haven't had time to read through all the posts yet, but I'll work on that. This is our first Eastern, we've done 2 3 night Wonder cruises, a 7 night Western, and a 7 night Double Dip.

It's myself, DH, and DD who will be 9 at the time. My DD would love to get to know some other girls her age so she can have friends. We've done this in the past, and it made for a great time.

 

[JNorris]

What excursions are all of you planning on doing? We've been to St. Thomas and St. Martin before (not on cruises), but it's been a while. Although I'd love to take DD to Trunk Bay, I hear it eats up alot of the day just getting there and back. Maybe we will do Magen's Bay instead. And I just don't know about St. Martin. We spent a week there once (before kid!) and frankly, I don't want to deal with the nudity issue, so maybe we will just do a Disney excursion there.

 

[Bareacuda]

Hi JNorris,

We plan on doing the Capt.Nautica St John's Snorkling Expedition. We did it the last time we were in St Thomas. Great Fun... fast and 2 great places to snorkle. Your DD is old enough to this excurtion. We had enough time to come back to the ship to shower and hit the town for shopping and to do the sky ride to Paradise.

You can always do the butterfly farm(St. Martin) with the DD. Bring your camera, there are Hundreds of butterfly. We are planning for the 12 metre Regatta. Haven't done that one before and looking foward to it.

Hope this added to you think about list.

Hi Ann, that's a great suggestion. Maybe we will go to the butterfly farm, then spend a little time at a beach close to the port. We've spent a week in St Martin before, and I know that most of the nudity is on the French side.

Thanks!

We are thinking about doing Coral World in St. Thomas. We don't have very many options with a 4 yr old, but that's okay.

I am wanting to go on the mediteranian in May 08 but the boy doesn't want to go...anyone want to come with?

 

[Bareacuda]

The ship is leaving for the Med THIS summer and Mexico for 2008.
If ya need a room mate... My bags are packed

 

[lg3]

DD (4 today!) already has her Disney Princess underwear and swimsuits set out to pack. I keep trying to expain to her that we aren't leaving for another 6 months and we will have plenty of time to still use and wash them before that.
Saturday is her big party - Snow White theme of course!

My DD always wants to pack about a month ahead of time. She will go into her room, spend about an hour, and come out with a full suitcase. Problem is, she picks out NO CLOTHES! Just toys and jewelry and stuffed animals! Like she even has time on the cruise to play with toys!
