10/02/04 Antigua Cruise

[DuncanLL]

We are on the Aug. 21st San Juan cruise. I'm so anxious to hear about your experience. We've been on the Eastern and Western before so wondering what will be different... Please post and let us know - especially about the San Juan port. Where does the ship dock? Walking distance to Old San Juan? How did people enjoy the Rainforest excursion? Do kids navigators follow the regular Eastern schedule?

Any news would be appreciated!!!!! Thanks.

Linda

Mike & Kathy, Art & Cathy, Dave & Ellen,
I just won a bid on German eBay on the perfect gift for you - We hope you'll like it, but you'll have to wait til our first dinner. BTW, the first evening's Champagne is on us - Courtesy of the Mouseketeers

I never thought of how handy the tags could be if found staggerinig aimlessly on the dock !!! Eric you are too funny!

Attention Nurses and other Medical Personnel ... I just got a neat Disney scrub top at WalMart. They have two diff versions. One has Mickey, Minnie and Daisy Duck and the other is just Mickey and Minnie BOTH with tropical backgrounds. FYI

 

[Laurarn]

goofynut: thanks for the info on the scrub tops. I'll check them out
Bettemom: I'll check with DH about the St. Thomas tour. What beach are you going to that day?

I know that its been discussed quite a while ago but , we are on early dining. Are the cruisetoberfest folks sitting together? I guess it depends on what rotation we get, but just wondering. Do they link the group together?

Regards,
Laura

BetteMom and Kim what time are you parasailing at CC again? I am working on the bags again each one will be a little different instead of the same this time.

Kathy said that she is not parasailing as she was not born with feathers. Besides that her little arms are too short. Kids are making sure that my life insurance is paid up so they can divvie up the spoils of war later. Mike

Laurarn...If you look at the "List" you will see the dinning/seating. It will have a "M' for Main or a "L" for late. The people who have linked thier dinning tables are noted. As far as I can see the only groups linked during "M" seating is TwinAve and myself, but we have changed to "L" as of last week. Check out the other DIS'ers who have "M" dinning and see if anyone wants to link dinning with you. Disney Cruise Crazy, Fridayfun,Jeanniec,Michelemouse,Piglet33,Auntmeme,Cdnmickeylover, Bettemom are all on "M" dinning.
I'm pretty sure there are more people who linked the dinning, but I can't remember if it is on "M" or"L".

I found a place today that will do the MINNIE Pedicure! DD and I are going to have it done the day before we leave for Fl.

Cathy....Put us down for NAME TAGS. We LOVE the ones from previous cruises. Hung from your lanyard, it's a great ice breaker!CM asked about them all during the cruise. I hope you don't wind up throwing a bunch away
Maybe you should ask who wants them, then only make them for those who want them??Last year I was so worried I would not have enough lanyards, I went out and bought an additional 2 doz. The I came home with 25 of them!

No feathers on me either. I think I will keep my feet on the sand!I also love to count other people's "deck laps" on deck 4 while resting on a comfy chair!

Someone asked about putting the logo on a ball cap. YES, I have seen that done in the past.

Jeanne...thanks for the update. Have a wonderful time!

 

[fridayfun]

Laurarn - I'm at work, so can't give you complete details, but I know there are a few of us linked together who are on the Main seating. We were kindly asked if we would like to fill the last couple of seats when we first joined the boards. I am not certain if there is another Main dining group. Viking (Eric) I believe has a dining list.

 

[Viking]

Mary,
you can be official timer for us: When running on the ship we usually need between 2'00'' and 2'30'' for a lap - depending on the traffic So in an hour we do between 25 and 30 laps.

FridayFun,
I started a couple of tries to gather enough info for a re-issue of the Activities List, which also includes the Dining Groups, but so far I only had feedback from Renee. With our departure just a bit more than 4 weeks away, there won't be much time left for it

 

[Viking]

Ave',
I just saw that Tropical Storm 'Bonnie' is heading your way
Landfall is predicted exactly in your area sometime between Wednesday night and Thursday morning. We'll keep our fingers crossed for you

 

[ARLO1]

Cathy: Andy and I would love name tags. It definetely helped identify and to be identified by fellow cruisers.

Jeanneg: Just checking...we are linked with you guys for dinner reservation right????

Hope everyone is well. Cant wait to see everybody(again?)..

Hi Mike,

We are on at 11:30 just like you.... We can take lots of photos of each other...

See you soon.

Bye, Kim

 

[bettemom]

Hi Cathy,

Oh yes, mom & I want our name tags. They really help her remember her name and what to call me...

Bye, Kim

Hi Mary,

I am bringing the lanyards this year and I did the exact same things as you. I am always sure I will run out so I went and got 40 more.

I am sure there will be extras, but better safe than sorry...

Bye, Kim

 

[twhipple]

Cathy, Bill and I would love nametags. Thanks!

Tracy

 

[cdnmickeylover]

Would love our name tags too Cathy. Still have ours from last year and wore them to a dismeet which was great.

Can also understand about the weather although we are sticking it out wearing shorts. We were at the Renn Festival on Saturday and it started out really warm and then in the middle of the afternoon we probably could have put on winter coats and then it got pleasant later on. It rained for a bit on Sunday although the temperature was ok. It's supposed to rain again today. I feel like I'm going on the cruise to get a bit of summer.

A co-worker just got back from two weeks in London and Paris and she said it was hot there. Unbelievably they didn't go to Disneyland Paris.

Work is busy but am already getting organized to go away -- all those buried files are coming to the surface!

Can't wait to cruise.

[jeanniec]

Cathy -- Count us in on the name tags. We would love to have them and it will be great to see them on other people so we can get to know people more easily. Thanks again for all the great things you are doing for everyone in our group!

Sam and Jean

( I am the Jean without an extra "ne" at the end, but it really doesn't matter how you spell it.)
