Hey guys quick question, since I'm a self-confessed shopaholic, is there anything in particular I should be looking to buy while in St. Thomas or Antigua. I have a particular affinity for crystal.

If anyone knows of any deals just too good to pass up, would appreciate the info. Would like to start looking at stateside prices now so will have a reasonable comparision.

Sorry if this has been asked and answered. previously.

Zapp1213 has sent her info :thewave:
Tonight I'm with Gramps watching a western starring 'the Duke'. Both of us are big John Wayne-fans. Tomorrow I'll be out of the gym very late, so the update has to wait til Friday.

Please send all requests for updates/changes until Friday noon EST.

Reminder: For those who want to join the dive/snorkel-excursion in St Thomas, please contact me this weekend as I will send the list of participants on monday to the dive-shop.

I'm sorry Sharon,
but I don't know anything about the shopping possibilities at St T, but there should also be a kind of briefing on the ship. Although DCL usually promotes mainly shops they have contracts with it should be helpful.
And perhaps you should post that question on the regular cruise boards as an extra thread - You'll probably get more info that way.

I am with you on the shopping. I went to www.dcltribute.com and printed off the "Shopping In Paradise" guides Dave has posted there; those come with the navagator for each port. I tried to look up websites for some of the retailers listed, but most do not allow shopping online, they were just informational sites...so no luck on prices. Many many years ago, we went to St Thomas and my mom will still talk about the great jewelry deals they have. I will be convincing Tim that I need a diamond right hand ring, and I am sure he will be trying to convince me that he needs a Breitling watch....sometimes we like to forget we are "civil servants" for a living and spend money like rock stars!

But check out Dave's site, see if the port guide offers any help...btw, there isn't one for Antigua....

Anyone else?

I got a Cat. 6 for $5227.67. I really want to go in May, but I can't.

I almost can't keep up with you all! I didn't check the board for two days, and four pages of posts were added.

Heidi is really excited to get in touch with Ciara, so if there are any other early teens on board, PM me with your e-mail, and I'll give you Heidi's e-mail.

Someone asked where I'm from (sorry, it's on a previous page, and I don't want to leave this page). I'm in Crystal Lake, Illinois--far northwest suburb. Naperville is about an hour south of me.

Also, the person from Lakewood, NJ? I grew up in Middletown. Was there for 25 years till my hubby moved me out here.

I can't wait to get the list from Eric--looking forward to "getting to know" you all.

Marianne,
I just sent you the most recent edition of The List. The update with your data will follow Friday night (My time)/Friday Afternoon (Your time).

Have fun with it

PS: Don't be confused, I sent it from my AOL-account, not from the Yahoo - It was quicker that way.

 

[Sarah'sMomfrom PA]

Zapp1213....I just sent you a pm.

Ciadriamom...check your emails...I sent you one earlier today.

 

[Sarah'sMomfrom PA]

twofoxes....I owe you a reply to your email...it has been crazy around here lately but I promise that I will email you with our contact information for our August vacation in Colorado...we are flying into Denver and renting a car so meeting up would not be a problem..we are spending a week in Colorado and then driving to Salt Lake City and spending a week there. We have already been to New Mexico (drove there on our trip to Sedona, Arizona) so if we go anywhere it has to be to a new state (we try to do at least one new state each year and the hardest two are already out of the way (Alaska and Hawaii)....hmmm....you are close to Wyoming...never been there....another state crossed off...anyway, I will email you by Friday.

Well we have a cat 11 on the Florida to Cal repo cruise 3521.78
2 adults .. on hold with dcl... and still waiting to see what dreams does for us as we asked for cat 10 deck 5 secret porthole room..


KIM and u ????

Yes I can Imagine the reception the Magic will get ....
AT every port that it stops at as we went on the Western Inaugural and that in it self was awesome... never mind pulling into CAL.....

as for the airfare it appears that JET Blue out of Boston

Might Be the option for us ? As they are about 75.00 bucks less than SW.. and will get us into florida at 9:30 pm verses 11pm on sw.... will keep u posted....


Im going on a 14 day cruise.....lol

Hi Guys,

Just got off of the phone with my T.A. who was at Disneyland for the announcements. We are now reserved in a Cat 11 for the panama westbound cruise for # 3371.78. She let on a little about what the reception will be for the Magic, she said it will be UNBELIEVEABLE.

Of course it will not be the same without 100 or so of our cruising friends...


Peter, If you guys have a better price with Jet Blue then I would definately go with them. It is too much of a hassle to drive to Boston for us. I think I may call Southwest and see about getting on an earlier flight , you are right, arrival into Orlando @ 11pm is late, then to drive to the cape...


Well I am pooped, I am off to be somewhat lazy for the evening...

Bye everyone,
Kim

ciadriamom, love the new "logo".
Zapp1213, you waited 2 days!
piglett, hygiene, and bettemom, Congrats on your next cruise. I'm sure it will be a blast.
Viking, isn't that list ready YET? That's the problem with you Germans, procrastinaters, and unorganized. (your loving sister, Ave')



Later, Ave'
