12/09/06 Cruise Continued ~ Pirating Bananas DIS Geekorama Part 2 Part 14

[MMcCarthy]

Brandy how did the choir go today? we went to our services last night and I wish I could convince the lead person that she really needs less mic on the guitar and more on the voices. the songs are very easy and we have sung them many times but I still like hearing the words.

 

[becka]

Becka, are you finally plowed out? I bet you are going stir crazy. Your state is much more prepared to handle that amount of snow than we are. we had a 8 inch snow and it basically shut us down. I am hoping we avoid the snow until after we get back. It is suppose to be cold this week but I don't think there is much chance of any precip

The plows have been down our street once but it not that much better than it was before at least in our neighborhood. The main and secondary streets seems to be doing pretty good but they are still partly covered in some areas. The neighborhood is just pure ice.

 

[becka]

Becka what stateroom are you in? I have read about you downgrading but the manifest still had you at 6 something.

Yes we downgraded and now we are in 6539 which is a Cat 11. We were in 2608 on Deck 2.

 

[MMcCarthy]

Hi Lisa

Hi Becka

Hi Brandi

Hi Brack (if you are still there)

sorry I didn't say hi earlier. I keep forgetting to practice everyones names.

 

[becka]

You are very worried about those trunks....

I have to obsess about something! The trunks are as good as anything else....

 

[lbgraves]

Becka what stateroom are you in? I have read about you downgrading but the manifest still had you at 6 something.

Melissa, the manifest is updated. They moved from an outside to an inside.

 

[becka]

Hi Brandi!

Hi Becka!

Hi Missy!

Hi Lisa!

Hi Brandi!

Hi Missy!

 

[MMcCarthy]

Yes we downgraded and now we are in 6539 which is a Cat 11. We were in 2608 on Deck 2.

I guess I didn't realize that 6539 was an inside stateroom. You will do fine. I would much rather have a verandah but we decided to save on the room and do the port hole. with the kids being older, I really don't know if I could have been in a inside stateroom with them. My DD is bigger than me and DS doesn't have long until he is taller than me.

 

[becka]

I broke the news to DS that we would probably not have a window and he was not real happy. He didn't understand why Mickey wouldn't give us one.

 

[MMcCarthy]

Melissa, the manifest is updated. They moved from an outside to an inside.

Thanks. I guess I always assume the higher numbers are the veradahs. I should have realized that they have inside staterooms on the higher decks. Becka, you might enjoy that stateroom better because you don't go way down in the ship.

[becka]

I probably made a mistake downgrading. One of the things my kids enjoyed the most was the porthole in our room and obviously it is something that Nathan wants again.

 

[MMcCarthy]

I broke the news to DS that we would probably not have a window and he was not real happy. He didn't understand why Mickey wouldn't give us one.

Every cruise we have Mickey send us a bottle of sparkling cider for our bon voyage gift. the kids were convinced that Mickey actually sent it to us. I still have to do that tomorrow.

tell DS that he is closer to the fun areas. and that it doesn't matter if you have a window because you can go out onto the deck and see it for real--no glass between you and the sea

Couldn't you tell him something like Mickey didn't give us a window but he's letting you get _____ at the store on board. (or maybe a smoothie at dinner each night)

I'm sure once he gets on board and gets to the club he won't notice. you guys won't be in there all that much. if you need to borrow a window and don't mind a mess, come on down to our stateroom. I warn you though that DD & DS like to unpack everything and make themselves feel realy at home.

 

[becka]

I think once we get there he might be too excited to get upset about it. If I have to I will make something up. I am not going to tell him anything in case we get that upgrade. Then I can tell him that Mickey knew he really, really wanted a window and figured out a way to get him one!

 

[goofyforlife]

hi Becka

hi missy

hi John

hi lisa

hi mickey

hi dody

 

[MMcCarthy]

I just realized I never booked a hotel room in Indy. DH says I better get on the ball and get that done--why can't he do it? because he is gaming. he won't get to do that while we are gone. too bad huh?

 

[becka]

Plus there is just no steamer trunk for me.....

 

[lbgraves]

Thanks. I guess I always assume the higher numbers are the veradahs. I should have realized that they have inside staterooms on the higher decks. Becka, you might enjoy that stateroom better because you don't go way down in the ship.

Missy

In the great majority of cases the even numbers are outside & odd numbers are inside. There are 4 11s that are even on deck 6 forward.

He will get over it because you guys will be too busy having fun!
