Anyone else dressing up for costume night (halloween)?? Can't wait!

Just out of curiousity, is the Pirate night still going on even with all the Halloween themed things? We're trying to decide if we need to pack a separate Halloween costume in addition to Pirate garb (or if we just be pirates for the costume party!)

We are taking our Halloween costumes(if I get mine done!) and will be dressing up if there's an adult contest this year.

Pirate night and Halloween festivities were seperate nights last year and many people just wore their pirate stuff twice to save on the packing room.

Hi All....

Just wanted to let those that were able to add me to the FE last minute, that I was finally assigned to room 7532 Thank you

So excited!! See you all in 9 days

I forget who was working on the spreadsheet, but I was wondering...if it is a true spreadsheet on Excel or something and you could do this with just one click of a button....

is it possible to get a copy sorted by room number? It would help while making deliveries.

If it isn't something you can do with just one click of a button, PLEASE do not put any work into it. I will make a relist here.

Thanks!

Is everyone ok just writing in langeveld's stateroom number on their spreadsheet (7532)???? Otherwise I can update and re-email out a list.

As for sorting the list a different way---that is all Gratefulparrot. I will defer to his expertise!

Now I have to get SERIOUS about packing!!!!

No problem at all - I've already done it. =)

Thanks - we may just do that, too. We're trying to keep checked bags to a minimum to avoid paying any extra to the airlines...

I have it in Excel sorted by stateroom. PM me your email and I'll send it to you. No problem.

Edited to add: I am an idiot! I forgot to put my DD as a passenger so NO WONDER it came up $446 less! I am SO sorry for getting any hopes up! Ignore everything below.

I was just messing around on the cruise website (looks like more rooms are booked up now - maybe not as empty as we hoped).

If you put in the FLR discount, the rates are VERY MUCH reduced than they were last week. My Cat is $446 less! I've got an email in to my TA, hoping she can get it lowered.

Since you helped me out before, Lori, I wanted to be sure you knew about this! Anyone else with an FLR discount might want to call too.

And, BTW, why do I even have a TA? Isn't this something she should be on top of???

 

[TheBeadPirate]

LOL.... Thanks for the potential heads up! We were in Hilton Head for the weekend and I just signed on.

Although I'm pretty sure your DD would be very upset to get to the boat and not have a spot!

Hi All,

Been busy, busy, busy - so I'm checking in. I'm finalizing my FE gifts and looking forward to meeting everyone.

Tiggerish- I see 2 adults along with the children in Cabin 5024. Do we have first names for them?

langeveld- I'm delighted to include your cabin in our FE group.

Is anyone else driving in the day before and staying overnight at a hotel in the port area?

I'm sorry for the last minute notice, I've been sick the last few weeks with a sinus and double ear infection. I'm a type 1 diabetic and I just can't kick this infection. I've barely left the house, forget doing any work on our fish extender gifts. Because of this my Boyfriend and I will no longer participating.

We leave Thursday and I haven't even started except for candy for the kids and I just can't pull it together this quickly...feeling as badly as I do. I'm so sorry for the short notice, but we simply can't participate. I'm so sorry for the short notice, but hope everyone has a great cruise!

Oh, you ain't kiddin'! Since she did all the FE gift work, I hardly think I could get away with it.

BTW, we drove up to the port today. I was wrong, we're 30 minutes, not 20 minutes from there. We got to wave off the 10/10/10 sailing of the Wonder! DD was about to split a gut with excitement. I have some cool photo's if anyone would like them for scrapbooks. That's one thing we can't take a picture of while we're onboard - the ship LEAVING port!

Hope you feel better before the cruise! Rick and I are both fighting colds/sinus goop also, although no where near what you're going through!

In fact- here's hoping everyone feels like partying by cruise time!

Hi All,

Anyone following the weather in the Atlantic? I am out of town(Texas), so not able to watch the local new in Orlando. I did just see on the news here in Texas that there is a depression forming near Honduras and may become a hurricane by Tuesday. Getting nervous...

Would love a pic of the ship in port sailing off!!! too cool!!! (just when you get a chance, after vaca or whenever!) Thanks!!

I would be interested in a pic of the ship leaving port. It would be a fantastic pic for the book we will be putting together for my daughter's wedding memories. It wouldn't be a picture she would be expecting to see. You are definitely right.....not a pic you can get while onboard!!! Thanks much!

langeveld- From what I saw that storm will pass through Cuba by tomorrow night, so it shouldn't interfere with our sailing. Obviously, we never know what storms due to port areas, but that's the chance we take. I once got rerouted to Miami because Port Canaveral was filled with sand after a storm, but as far as I know that's only happened once! Fingers crossed for good weather.

 

[MouseinMelbourne]

Yay! It worked! Editing post to include all pics. Some are good, some are bad. Take whatever you want.

These were taken 10/10/10. The beach are I am standing on is called Jetty Park. There are tons of locals there that congregate to wave to everyone setting sail. They will be starboard side only.

Sorry for all our stuff in the picture. MAN that ship is huge! I didn't realize how far back I needed to stand to get the whole thing.
