Hi All!!

I am soooo new to this, but you are all so sweet I just couldn't resist.

I am Elizabeth (27)
DH Shawn (29)
DS Ethan (7)
DS Eidan (2)
DD Elana (2 1/2 mos)

We will be joining you and all the other beautiful people on the Double Dip cruise 12/9

Questions... looks like many of you have been here since 04... Do most of you recommend booking on the ship as early as possible or holding off until you get on shore to check online?

Well I look forward to getting to know all of you!!

 

[klineyqueen]

Welcome Elizabeth and Family!!!
I am glad you will be joining us! We are a fun group of people who are having a blast getting to know one another before the cruise.

Send all of your information (listed on the first post) to lbgraves (lisa). She will get you hooked up with our info and then the planning can really begin!!!

We are also cruising with a toddler and baby.

So glad you are joining us!

John and PJ - - I did read every single post. Although, my DD had me up at about 5AM with those new teeth. I am also putting off finishing my project for class so....you won out over my project.

 

[klineyqueen]

I got the personalized pencils ordered from oriental trading. I am really trying to get all of my .

Today (after I get my project do...get going I know) I am going to Reading (that is the biggest town around here) to do some shopping.

 

[slindamood]

John and PJ - you are too funny!

I wake up to see 5 new pages - OH NO - are all of those John talking to himself? Thanks, PJ, for at least giving it the illusion of a conversation. And we have new cruisers observing!

(John - didn't I hear at a CLE that the Ohio Bar has some committee to deal with such afflictions?)

And it all started because you thought you were being left out of the tiara planning? or would not be allowed to have bedazzled jeans?

Anyone can wear a tiara - no one will be left out. And I'm sure Lisa will be an equal opportunity bedazzler.l

 

[waltsgirl]

I just read all the post from last night! I am trying to make an appointment to get John in to see a Doctor, I think he is NUTS!!!! HELP ME!!!

 

[RealMickey]

I appreciate all of you being in chat last night to keep the count down so I could catch up.....all of you except John and Penny

 

[RealMickey]

I don't care what you all say..I still think that is Lisa dressed as Cinderella.

It is 106 here with the heat index.

Lisa, we have had heat index temps of between 105 and 110 nearly every day for weeks! I can't wait for December....for various reasons!

 

[RealMickey]

In John's photos from the balloon lift, the photo of his daughter with the HOF queen and court reminds me of you guys....they are all dressed alike wearing tiarras. Now if they were wearing lime green, that would be perfect.

 

[Jhalkias]

Hi everyone,

After changing a tire, and getting the dog some exercise, I got online this morning. Did I go a bit "overboard" last night???

Anyway, Amy called from work to let me know she has enrolled me in a DIS twelve-step program, and now she does think her DH has lost his marbles.

Suzanne, unfortunately CLE only deals with substance abuse, not DIS abuse, and while I guess I wish I could say that I had a few "sheets to the wind" (like these clever plays on words??), not a drop of an adult beverage was responsible for last night's behavior.

I still have NO idea what all this talk about Tiaras and jeans is about. I must have really missed something in chat last night. (Do I really want to know?)

Thanks again Penny for allowing me to retain some small shred of sanity

Welcome Elizabeth and family. I promise, they are all not as nutty as I was last night. In fact when they get chatty, the conversation turns to form fitting women's undergarments and this little .

[slindamood]

John -

I guess there will have to be a new technology induced affliction - "talks incessantly to oneself on a chat board."

 

[87Heel]

Good morning all, and welcome Elizabeth,
First, to Elizabeth... I still have a small fraction of my sanity... but I only signed onto the boards a few weeks ago. Feel free to proceed at your own risk (but you'll enjoy the ride too much to leave!)

Reviewing the pages from last night is too much fun. There's work to be done! Shopping to do! Parties to attend! Yeah, I'll get right on that.

RealMickey, do you happen to work for the paper in Montgomery? My brother's first job after college was for the Alabama Journal.

 

[Jhalkias]

Elizabeth,

We actually booked this cruise well before we were onboard for our last cruise. Booked it in July of '05 before our December '05 cruise. We then checked onboard to see if re-booking with the onboard credit was less $$$ than the booking we already had (it wasn't).

We are already booked for the Dec 1 '07 cruise in a SPH right beside Lisa and family, and we will do the same analysis.

We got a really good price on the '06 cruise, but not too much of a savings on the '07 cruise, so we MIGHT rebook onboard for the credit - just have to see how it all works out.

If you book early and then cancel, you don't lose anything (as long as you cancel early enough) other than DCL has $250 pp of your hard earned money for awhile.

John
