impressive! give that girl a chocolate smoothie.
(see, i remembered your strawberry allergies)

Thanks!

I didn't even know those chairs existed until my 4th cruise!

First of all...where's Misty? Where's our countdown chick? Someone go and check on her!!!

Robins been promising to make a slide show DVD of our last cruise for months now. We sent a package to Nancy and Chuck earlier this week with a note saying "be careful opening, slideshow dvd is enclosed."
I was laughing for days in anticipation of them opening that package only to find out there was no DVD enclosed.

aint i a stinker?

Stinker? I can think of a better adjective Mike.

Thanks again for the info on Maho. Not sure if I'd try to get that one in or not. Last thing we'd want to do is miss the ship.

Thanks for letting me post and ask questions. I see the threads out there on the main cruise board where people say "I'm tired of people asking about...." or "I will not respond to anyone that asks...." It is like you don't want to even ask a question out there.

I hear ya. I mostly stick around the cruise meets threads too. It's safer here amongst friends.

We LOVE questions it gives us a chance to talk about our favorite things

I know what you mean about some of the other threads not being friendly. Just ask Nancy - she started the famous 'refillable soda cup' scandal Too bad. There's so much fun stuff to talk about I'm not sure why people feel they have to find fault with everything, including each other. I pretty much stick to threads for my cruises now. (the thread for my other cruise has turned nasty recently )

Just stick with us - we like to have fun

Oh man!!! As soon as I read Tim's post I thought about that story Kathy. WOW...that one turned ugly and quick!

So I just discovered a cruise app in the VZ Android app store - It is called Shipmate.There is one for each major cruise line. I downloaded the DCL one. After I choose my cruise sailing, it gives me information about it and a countdown. It's not the Disboards, of course, but its fun to have a cruise app! I'm sure the Apple apps store has something better, but this is certainly a start!

Has anyone else tried it?

I just got my iPhone on Monday but also heard that Apple is taking their time on the cruise app.

I'll take a shot:

Dawg, Mr. Tuna (Nancy's husband Chuck), Tony (Nancy and Chuck's son), Nancy, Robin's empty chair and Stacey (Chuck & Nancy's DIL).

Excellent Kathy! You win the prize. Mike will buy you all the chocolate shakes you want on the cruise. Just bring your punch card. (notice I said "shakes", because there is no such thing as a chocolate smoothie).

St. John sounds gorgeous. Is it far from St. Thomas? Does DCL go there with excursions. Not too sure about going to another island on our own. We'd be afraid of missing the ship.

Is the St. Maarten tour you talked about short enought to get some beach time in afterwards? That may be a good choice.

Yes, DCL does do an excursion, but you only get a limited amount of time on beach once you get there.

As for St Maarten, there is loads of time for some time on the beach after.

hey princess Heather.

Hiya Mikey. Howya doin?

That's ok Kathy, I'll buy you a chocolate smoothie and I'll join you. . . These people don't know what their missing.

Sounds like a plan!

It's all good here My pet peeve is when people answer someone's question with telling them to use the search tool.... thanks that was very helpful
I like to just hang out here too... this is where it's at!

Exactly that search tool is not very easy to use, you put in Eastern Carribean and every thread with the work Eastern or Carribean comes up. I've even tried just selecting threads and still have issues with that.
Don't be afraid to ask questions here, we won't bite, and if Dawg tries we all have the squirt bottle to help with that.

I hear ya. I mostly stick around the cruise meets threads too. It's safer here amongst friends.

Thanks everyone. Glad to know there are people happy to answer questions. You would think that the reason people are on these boards is because they love Disney and DCL. I know that if someone brings up the topic with me, I get a big smile on my face and could talk for hours. I love both topics.

Thanks for bringing me up to speed.

Those chairs look very relaxing by the way. May have to try them out this cruise.

Yes, DCL does do an excursion, but you only get a limited amount of time on beach once you get there.

As for St Maarten, there is loads of time for some time on the beach after.

Maybe it would be better staying on St. Thomas and finding a beach there. Don't really want to pay big $ on a DCL excursion and then only have a limited time there.

Good to know about St. Maarten. Thanks.

 

[MN Mickey]

Well, time to enjoy more of the February thaw. Funny how when the temps get back above freezing we think it's warm. Going to be a few warm days here over the next week, but I still wish I was on the ship right now. Hope everyone is enjoying their weekends.

Megans Beach break was lovely. If you want to keep the price down, take a taxi and then pay the entry fee at the gate.

We just finished watching Best Places I've Ever Beenisney Memories on the Travel channel.
good show never seen it before.

a little DCL on there!

Hello everybody. I have had the worst week in a long time. It first started off I was in a car accident on Monday. I came out of it with a broken leg, 3 fractured ribs and a headache that will not stop. The accident happed because the other driver was texting and did not see me stopped at a stop light and hit me going at least 45 mph.Then on Thursday (right after I got out of the hospital) my childs pet cat that she adores came suddenly sick. We took it to the vet and he told us it was a mysterious illness and there was nothing they could do for it. My daughter is 3 and it is hard to get her to understand her kitty will not be sleeping with or playing with her anymore. We are still dealing with this issue. I do not know what to do. Soooo

I am finally here to do the countdown. I am sorry for the delay. I need the cruise even more now.

We have only

more FRIDAYS left before our cruise

sending big hugs. Not sure if you live in a state where texting is illegal but I really hope that person gets the book thrown at him or her. Soooo glad that you are on the mend. Big hugs to the 3 year old too.

Awwww Misty, sorry to hear about the accident. Texting while driving is illegal here in Wisconsin too so I agree with Becky, I hope they throw the book at them. I do hope you get better soon and extra for your daughter too.

So sorry to hear about your week. If texting isn't illegal in your state, it should be and hopefully this will get it to be. If it is, I hope the other driver is prosecuted to the fullest extent. They should be made an example of.

Also, sorry to hear about your daughter's cat. It's hard for kids to understand what is happening with things like this.

You guys are so sweet. I thank you for all of your support.
I think this is deserving of the saying "I need a vacation"
