2/9/2008 - Valentine Cruise 7 Night Western - Anyone On The Love Boat ?

[tevagirl]

Sherri, great pictures! Thanks for sharing. I noticed the picture of the guys with the unicycle. That wasn't your Chuck, was it? That was hysterical!

 

[Giefu]

Nope, not my Chuck.
That was hilarious though.

Gladu enjoyed them. Let me know if you see anything that you want an original of.

Hey all! What a great cruise! I think this may have been the best of the three. I think the food and service was the best this time.

It was great to meet everyone who was able to make it to one of the meets. We ended up seeing Brian, Ian and Jackie and their families the most. Jackie's family ended up being our dinner mates! The kids enjoyed each other's company which made for a fun dinner.

Thanks for the sail away pics Andy!

We did rebook for 8/15/09 but that may be pushed out another year. We'll have to see.

Hi everyone ...the blushing bride here ..back at last !!

....blushing because I did not get to meet all of you ....I wasn't trying to avoid buying those drinks guys HONEST !!!


...we were at the Mickey pool at 2pm the first day, but could I get the kids away ......heck no ........we only just made it to our room in time for the safety drill !

It did not help that I'd left my handy spreadsheet behind in the UK either, and that the internet on the ship was so S-L-O-W ...unsurprising, since it cost 75cents a minute..... and it was taking me almost $10 a time just to get logged onto my email page, let alone trying to surf these boards for information - forget it ! .

Well, I did get to meet some of you (albeit on the last day in some cases), and I'm really sorry if I didn't get to meet everyone.

We had a great day on our wedding ......couldn't have had a more perfect day ....even though I'd been up half the night kicking myself for not packing an umbrella, because the cruise director Christain had told me it was forecast for 40% chance of rain, for our big day on Grand Cayman

Luckily, that information prooved incorrect, and we had clear blue skies and crystal green seas ....a fabulous wedding service at Grand Old House witnessed by Etmom and her family (who I have to thank for giving me the information about the place in the first place).
Afterwards we had a fantastic meal (you MUST try that place if you ever go back - it was wonderful) followed by a dip in the sea in the full wedding attire - crazy and fun .....the kids didn't need any encouragement I can tell you !

Sorry I've no pictures yet from our photographer, but I will post them when I do !!!

Hope you had good journeys home - what a great cruise.

Hi everyone!! We made it back to Canada safe and sound (and exhausted--got to our airport hotel at 2am with 3 screaming little ones!!). Happy to report that the weather here was in the 30's--so nice to come home to!! It was so nice meeting many of you!! I really enjoyed meeting my fellow disboarders--what a nice way to start off our cruise.

We also had a great week, probably our best cruise yet, and we did rebook onboard also.

Unfortunately, we had a rough time after our cruise. We did Epcot, and were hoping to do MK and AK, but my two oldest girls came down with a NASTY flu and were very sick (my oldest one still is) so we will have to do the parks another time!! We bought the extension so we won't have to lose out on those tickets.

Again, so nice meeting you guys! Talk to you later

Hey, you reminded me ........I was really poorly straight after the cruise too. I woke up the morning of disembarkation with a sore throat and felt really,really sick all day.

By early evening I was running hot & cold, and felt so ill I had to go to bed....thank goodness for the kids camp at the Omni Hotel !!

I took paracetamol over the next few days and did improve greatly ....but I was left wondering if I'd picked up some bug off the ship

....but I was left wondering if I'd picked up some bug off the ship

I'd say it's a good possibility. Sherri and I both came home with cold/flu symptoms as well (congestion, runny nose, feeling like you have a fever even though the thermometer says you don't)

Sorry we didn't get a chance to meet up with everyone. We had a great time. We loved our table mates, had a great time on our dives. The wind in Key West on Sunday kind of limited our outing that day, but we still had a good time. Our pictures are posted for anyone who is interested.

Great pics. Looks like we were out by the adult pool watching the 'water' golf contest at the same time......oops, seens DH & I in your pics.

I was the first lady golfer. No pics because my DH videoed the whole thing. How embarrassing. Funny though.

Too funny.......good for you, for getting up there. I was soooo hoping a woman would win, just because.

Welcome home everyone!! We sure did have some great weather on this cruise!! I too agree that the food on board was much better this time around!! It was nice meeting some of you....sorry we didn't get to meet everyone!! It's snowing here today a far cry from last Friday when we were at Castaway swimming in the ocean! What's wrong with this picture!! LOL It was nice being in such warm weather....but reality is back! Hubby gave me another cruise for Valentine's Day we are going January 31, 2009 he booked it on board. We will go to St Croix and St Thomas. Anyone else book this cruise? Hope everyone arrived safe and sound back home.
