[piglet33]

I also want to say that I enjoyed meeting all the new people and seeing the "old" crew again. I can honestly say that this was the best cruise we've been on yet (even with the food fights during dinner). Lenny said the other day that it was so nice when we were just walking around the ship and having someone just walk up to us and say hi whether we knew them or not. Knowing all of you has made our cruises even more special and memorable.

Eric - thanks again for all your hard work on the list.

Renee' -- It was indeed great to meet so many new friends. As Lenny said, wherever you walked on the ship you were bound to meet someone in our group. That was so cool -- just made us feel so comfortable. This is without a doubt the best cruise ever for us and definitely one of our best vacations. Our dinner table was so much fun and so wacky at times. We had so many laughs that I'm sure we wouldn't have had with strangers. Pirate night was the best. I am having a great time showing the picture with the two of us and our mustaches. Thank you again, Bette and Kim, for making the cruise so memorable. Thanks again, Renee', for finding that marvelous Pineapple Beach resort with all the freebies. Loved your ties, Jim! So nice to meet our new friends from Detroit. Glad your seasickness didn't last too, long Denise!

Had to call DCL yesterday and move our stateroom assignment over by one room. Now we are in 6584 instead of 6582. Sam remembered that the plexiglass on our balcony was loose and made noise at night. After another 2 years, who knows what will be loose, but at least it made him happy. Right now we are looking forward to our June Wonder cruise with DD, DS & DGS.

Welcome back home, Bette and Kim and Fiona and Jim! (Hey! I'm a poet and didn't know it! ) Sorry your vacation finally had to come to an end.

I have a question about the Cruisetoberfest email account... I forgot what I did in the past. Should I send Eric my private, regular personal email account with optimum or should I use my yahoo account which I usually use for computer stuff. I think now that they increased the size of storage, Yahoo! probably would be the best way to go.

Thanks for listening to me think aloud. It is helping me to remember. I believe for the original Cruisetoberfest I used Yahoo! but kept having to delete emails since the account did not hold a whole lot so for Cruisetoberfest II I used the optimum account. Regretfully, we did not make Cruisetoberfest III.

Okay, made up my mind. Sending email to you shortly Eric.

I'm back with another problem.

Eric, when I click on the Cruisetoberfest link in your posts, it opens the email account in Netscape, which I never use and never set up. My email is either with Outlook Express or Yahoo!.

I can't use the link. I need to know the exact addy to send mail to so that I can physically type it into the Yahoo! email. The link does not give me an exact address.

Thanks for help.

I'm not Eric, but I can help with this one. All you have to do is right click on the Cruisetoberfest link and select "Copy Email Address", then all you have to do is paste it to whatever email program you use.

I can help, too. Do you use Internet Explorer? If so, go under "Tools, "Options" (otherwise, go thru Control Panel, "Internet Options"), and check the "Programs" tab. What program is listed as e-mail? It should say "Outlook Express." Then, when you click on a link such as Eric's, it should open a new message in Express.

Mary Jo--you are absolutely correct when you said, "You'll never want to cruise with just your family again." I cannot imagine that I was on the boat 2 years ago & didn't know ANYONE. I agree that it was so great to walk on the decks & see someone in our group--even Bette having coffee at ungodly hours of the morning! Or Avé looking for coffee @ 2 am! (We're going to have to find SOMETHING to do after midnight!)

Love, Marianne

I have to send it as a PDF anyway as Ave's PC still has a medieval Office-version on it.

Folks,
I found another interesting link for Costa Maya, check it out: CLICK HERE and for those with computers not being able to follow the link here it comes in plain text: http://www.xcalak.info/
Clicking on VISITORS brings you to lots of activities like Diving, Biking, Kayaking, Fly-Fishing, etc.
I intend to do the Activities List again and will put all useful links on it as well. So if you have anything you want to have on that list, send it to the Cruisetoberfest-account.

Once you cruise with 150 friends, who wants to cruise with strangers. Strange people Yes! Strangers NO!
