10/24/2009 Bash on the Boat - Thread #1

[JLDSMD]

***************
This is Thread #1 of many. Please check the first page of the Cruise Meets thead for the latest thread titled "10/24/2009 Bash On the Boat - I'm with B.O.B.
***********************

O.K. I'll be back here to update this post periodically. I will try to keep important information up here for all to reference as well as for all our new friends who come to cruise with us.

We have dubbed this cruise "The Bash on the Boat" because so many people are celebrating birthdays or anniversaries on this cruise. You will also see "KK2" in the title. As you will read, many of us just sailed together on the 10/20/07 Western Cruise. So, with many of us returning here, we are dubbing this KK2. For those of you who didn't sail with us, please don't feel that you are not part of the group. We are a very open and welcoming/friendly bunch. We had such a great cruise last time, but feel it will be even better this time. Come along and enjoy the fun. We will get off-topic many times over the next 2 years, but it is a great way to get to know everyone.

First, here is the list of Characters:

arielhead = Tanya and DH with their DD (will be 14) and DS (will be 9). West Virginia.
B9erSteve = Steve and Laura. They will be traveling with their DS and DD. California.
CarrianneB = Carrianne and Rob with their 2 DS who will be 7 and 9. Wisconsin.
Cheryl N. WI = Cheryl and Al with their DD who will be 15. Wisconsin.
cntkg1 = Nancy and Chuck (a.k.a. Charlie Tuna). Wisconsin.
Disgrits = Paige and Rob. Virginia.

hockeychic = Kim and her DD who will be 17. Canada.
JLDSMD = that is me, Jeff. I'm traveling with my wife, Suz and our DS who will be 9. Wisconsin.
Karen Mouse = Karen and Neil and their DS who will also be 9. England.
medicalman = Sean and Cath with their DD. England.
millerpjm = Jen and Pete with their DS who will be 6. Wisconsin.

Jeff! you beat me to the start of the thread!


I'm booked!

I even decided to bring the kids along!

We went for the same cabin assignment that we had before we were upgraded last time

2606!

I was so hoping for the Eastern. After seeing Jeff's incredible pictures, I really wanted to go. (although a double dip would have been nice.)

It's official! I am so excited!

 

[B9erSteve]

A little update on myself, since I have not been posting too much lately. I finished my Christmas Decorations on Dec 1st. And opening night was a fantastic sucess! I just now looked at the video from Halloween and I'll probably edit that and have it up on youtube within a few days. Laura and the kids are doing very well. I'm hoping that I can get Laura online more for this trip as she knows quite a few of you personally this time.

I was hoping for Eastern too! I really wanted to go to completely different ports (a double-dip still goes to Cozumel, which we've done).

Yeay!

BTW,

Funny thing about the cruise being released today. Laura told me that Leah specifically prayed last night that we would go on the "Mickey Ship" again. She said she needed to give Mickey some more kisses and hugs.

Looks like it's cabin 5024 for us!!!!

 

[cntkg1]

Hi Steve!! It'll be nice chatting with you for the next two years again. I hope to get to meet up with you onboard more often this time.

 

[Walt & Di]

Thanks again Jeff

Thanks Karen with the Info on rooms, we changed from 2576 to 5524 (last SPH room of the six available), so neighbors we are

You bring up a good point Nancy...I felt like I didn't get to hang out with KKers as much as I wanted to - and the meet at the Mickey pool was a bit rushed for me (I had to leave early to get my boys our of the pool and dressed for the muster).

Since we have an extra sea day, should we "plan" a party sometime?

 

[minnieandmickey]

Looks like it's cabin 5024 for us!!!!

Hey neighbor we are in 5022!

We're booked too! Celebrating our 40th birthdays!

 

[Karen Mouse]

Is it too early to start making my door magnets?

 

[Karen Mouse]

Hey neighbor we are in 5022!

We're booked too! Celebrating our 40th birthdays!

Hey Becky - you're sandwiched between me and Nancy

Neil will be celebrating his 40th too

 

[Karen Mouse]

f.o. - sorry - I just had to steal the first one

 

[millerpjm]

Is it too early to start making my door magnets?

Maybe just a bit....

Although I'm glad I saved all the clipart I found online! Although I'm sure I'll be looking for more!


Some artsy type needs to change or modify our "logo" too!

Maybe we could beg Cass to alter it for us - she's a whizz at that sort of stuff.

We need a big "2" on it

 

[Karen Mouse]

Hope this helps someone - got it off another thread


5020 and 5520 have a great view and are the non-connecting rooms. 5022 and 5522 also have a clear view, however, these are connecting rooms and may have more noise (depends on the family next to you!) 5024 and 5524 have the most obstructions.
