12/16/06 10-day holiday cruise

[ICEMANPAD]

gaRy-Thanks for the info about being added to the cruise list!! I pm'd our info. Sorry--we will not be in one of the suites!! On our first cruise last year we booked so late that we were in a cat 11. This year we were spoiled because we were in a cat 6. In order to be able to justify the jump in price for the 10 day cruise, we had go to back and book a cat 11. At least we will be on the ship!!

Welcome back home all you Turkey Day cruisers. I can tell you are all still PUMPED UP from your cruise...it's a great feeling. I had it for about a month after last year's cruise.

In our cruising party are DH - Jim (43), DD - Julia (10) & myself (43). Looking forward to getting to know you all

pooh luver...sorry you're jumping ship I really hope DD's school schedule doesn't become a problem for us. For right now, I'm just ignoring that issue.

Well, just looked at the 10 day forecast for WDW. Heading down Friday Morn for Karen's Jellyrolls meet and the weather looks fine & dandy (sorry, gaRry, just gonna miss you). Well, that is if Delta pilots don't strike and we don't get ANOTHER snow storm. Yes, Stacey...SNOW already . I want it to snow 'cause we are going skiing X-Mas vacation week, but just not on Dec 2nd.

Well, got our tree yesterday so today I will begin to decorate. It's a week long process in my house 'cause I'm a little anal when it come to tree decorating so have to get it started!!!

Everyone have a great day!!!

Hi everyone! Just got back from driving out to NYC over turkey day. I am soooo glad to be home. 7 of us in a van for that long is waaaaaay too much togetherness for 5 days. Jen, we drove through your part of the country, though. I saw the signs for Hershey off of I-70 and thought of everyone here.

I have mostly finished unpacking but still have a few things to finish unpacking. I wanted to take a break, though.

Well, back to the unpacking mess....

Hello Christmas Cruisers!
I peeked in here a few months ago and said hey. We just booked the 10 day Christmas while sailing the Thanksgiving Magic. It was an eventful sailing. as I am sure you guys will hear!
I am Willie, and my DW is Kelli. We have two DD's that will be ages 16 and 11 next year when we sail.

Here is a pic from last week of Ron(Lampskies) and his wife Kim, with Kelli and I.

Way to go Turkey Day Gang!! Hi Willie and Ron!! We were very lucky to see the Magic and Wonder together at Castaway Cay--not sure we will ever see that again!! We are looking forward to getting to know everyone on this thread.

Hi Sue!

No, the Wonder had to have a sea day. so they just sailed by real close. We were on a snorkel trip, so we were out near the Wonder when it came by. There were tons of people on the rail waving and taking pics of CC.
Here is a pic

That is so neat to see both ships! We were on Wonder in '02 and sailed past Magic in PC. Magic was 'out of service' for virus cleaning. I get goosebumps remembering the dueling horns, waves and cheers. Thank you for the pic.

[DCLgodess]

hey all. wow did i miss alot. So many new people. I have added ICEMANPAD to the cruise list? anybody else need added? i made the update yesterday so if you're not on it, email me with:

1- Board name
2- Real Name
3- All sailing & Ages
4- Stateroom(s)
5- Dining time (main or late)
6- Preferred rotation (like APL if you want to be in Lumiere's on christmas day)

 

[KatHuss]

Jen, do you think they'd let all of us have the same rotation? I don't really care what rotation as long as we can sit with some of the fine folk from this board! This will be our first time doing late seating so it is an experiment for us. I expect dd will probably not eat many dinners with us as she likes to eat earlier but that is fine. She can eat with the kids club as far as I am concerned. Makes for a quieter, more peaceful dinner for us anyway!

I cannot believe we are getting closer to the one year mark on this cruise! It still seems waaaaay to far off but it gets closer everyday!

 

[DCLgodess]

yeah they will as long as one person calls and tells them what reservation numbers will be sitting around eachother. Then each individual party as to call and verify that they agreed to this arrangement. Sounds fun huh? I think a majority of the DIS group as main, as i was just looking over the list. I am going to try and add a picture column, so everybody knows who's who as the DIS meet, but that's far from done. lol. I was reading the first couple pages of this thread and wow, lol, it was sooooo dead. lol. There were maybe 5 different people posting and that's it. Now we are up to 15 at the least.
