Ok...I am going for real this time.

[klineyqueen]

Todd!

On the DVC member cruise they played POTC: DMC after the pirate party.

Pj

I guess that rules out the interactive huh ??

 

[elaineteresa]

ok this is a neurotic question -

but can any experienced cruiser give me what your typical day at sea is.
It would be helpful if PJ, Angie and some families chimed in so I could see the different perspectives - single, w/kids, empty nesters etc.

How do you start your day? what do you like to do during the day - review navigators, wing it? etc.

In what subtle ways is it different from a port day. Like I know I will not be doing .........

just curious. no experience here.

thanks so much.

[elaineteresa]

good moorning all!!!!

 

[elaineteresa]

for those of you with young boy cruisers - Giona is almost 6 (in Jan)

what is the most important things to remember to bring -

or I wouldn't want to be caught on a Bahamian island without.....

I wasn't planning on bringing a lot in the toy category because I think there will be very full days. Is this a mistake? just some things for the dining room?

I just need a brain dump. LOL.

[elaineteresa]

we are way behind on our quest for 50,000 - unless we up our frivolous posting quotient - we might not hit 60,000 - right Becka.

we need to put our axes to the grindstone and just babble.

 

[elaineteresa]

plus I am trying to hit 1,000 personal posts - all on this board since August - that's quite a lot.

 

[elaineteresa]

here's my train of thought ----

Lisa can make several people honorary mods - so they can skip the 40 second rule and post at will.

 

[elaineteresa]

another thought ....

we adopt the Walton family way of waking up and going to bed and acknowledge each member of the DIS family in separate posts.

 

[elaineteresa]

good morning Brack!!!

 

[elaineteresa]

good morning Brandi!!!!

 

[elaineteresa]

good morning Karen!!!

 

[elaineteresa]

get the idea?

 

[elaineteresa]

so Becka, if we have 15 regular posters (approx.) and 30 days left to get to 60,000 - how many would we need to post per day so that we hit it.

we can have John1 develop a contract to all commit to 20 posts per day. Just quickly ballparking it with no other factors thrown in there - we should just about make it by cruise day.

I hope that this works. It's the UNCW Fight Song.

Brack you are awesome

 

[BuzzBoyMom]

Becka are you there still? how many days til we cruise? it has been a real rough couple of weeks and I don't think it will be any easier until the cruise begins. I haven't had time to read the thread and what is really awful is that I can't even begin to do it. I think I will just start from here. I do get to start packing this weekend and can't wait.

Hugs Missy. I think a lot of us really need this cruise!

 

[elaineteresa]

of course there are a lot of things working against us.

but if we added say 5 more people to our regular list of people who posted that might account for holidays, packing, stressing etc.

 

[elaineteresa]

so anyone who has one of those neurotic thoughts like I am sure I am going to forget XXXXXX.

Post it here.

up our post count.

 

[BuzzBoyMom]

No they are very strict about the age limits. They have seen the BCs too so there is no getting around it.

Thanks guys. That's what I warned them. The one family has a 4 1/2 YO and the other one actually turns 5 on the ship, so they wanted to do one of the excursions....now they are making me feel bad that Disney won't let them do it.

Okay - it is less than 30 days till we leave and NOW you are doing research? And this is my fault, how?!!!
