20040131 ~ Cruising Jan 31 2004 Western Who's with us?

[Cap]

The question has been, what are people wearing for the formal and semi-formal nights?

I'll likely wear a dark suit for formal night, and a grey suit for semi-formal. Judi says she is undecided yet, but will probably either wear a raw silk top / skirt / camisole or a silk dressy pants suit. She's not going to do black velvet on a cruise in the Carribean.

Second warm up question for Cruise Director: "Has this ship ever sunk?"

I didnt' think about THAT! *grin* Good point, although I tend to be cold all the time so if there's any a/c I'm going to need the velvet!

Hey, here's another question for the cruise director -

"I know it says formal dress, but why CAN'T I go in my speedo, it's MY vacation so I can do what I want, right?"

"That smokestack over there - is it venting an underwater volcano?"

Nikki,

Since it's formal, it will have to be the black speedo.

WooHoo, Cap!!!

That was post 1000 and you didn't even brag about it!!!!

Now THERE'S a picture for my mind's eye...DH standing in a speedo next to me in a nice gown for the Formal Night photo!! Who needs Chippendales?

 

[OKWMEMBER]

Hey Cap, did you see my question about whether yoo found a DCL Passporter? Dean says he has a spare one you can have!

I say we go for 2000 posts!!! Who's with me????

If we do this right, we could have LOTS of fun with digital photo creativity. Let's see, Formal Night photo plus a photo from the spa or similar, do a little digital cut and paste work. Think of the possibilities.

Dean, what color is your speedo? You had it off so fast last night, I couldn't tell! Remember black = formal.

We're all going to look so pretty that we're going to need another pre-arraged meet just so we can see each other all dressed up! A formal group photo!

Nikki, red velvet works - but it is kinda Christmasy! I just go w/ black cause I can change the accessories and wear the same dress more than once. And, mines not velvet.

 

[Cap]

Dean and Gary, thanks for the Passporter notes. I supposedly have one on the way. It's probably on the same UPS truck as my documents, which appears to be far, far away.

Here's a link that may help with the Dress Code discussion.

I thought the Cunard Line's definition was best.

*laughs @ Cap's suggestion*

You're a trouble maker, aren't you!! *grin*

Speaking of digital photos, you just reminded me I have to tote along our laptop so I can download our photos when we fill up the digital camera memory card...and I have a fun "digital album" program where I can add music and everything - I'll have to make one up from the trip and send it around once we get home!

Nooo...not thinking about getting home yet...!! Nevermind!

My cell phone also has a digital camera and digital video camera - I plan on taking and sending a few "Don't you wish you were here" photos in key west while we still have cell phone signal... *evil grin*

Red velvet = xmassy...true! Didn't think of THAT either! Hmm. Well, both friends are stunning tall blondes with impeccable taste in clothes, one a former model, so I'll have to see what else they have hiding in there from their "before I had kids and can't dress like this" days...and if they don't have anything I like or that fits my "after I had kids" figure, I do have a long black dress with spaghetti straps and a throw to go around my shoulders, with embroidery on the front...that'd work too!

*grin* Apparently with all our talk of hot tub parties and speedos, we'd all be better off on this line:

Windjammer Barefoot Cruises
Formal:
Men -- Black bathing suit and matching sandals. T-shirt is OK, but may be too formal.
Women -- White bathing suits, matching sandals.


Semi-formal:
Men -- Any color bathing suit.
Women -- Any color bathing suit.


Casual:
Men --
Women --

Karyn, I may be old but not dead - still remember how to get out of those things.

Hey, I can't wear the black speedo - what if someone else shows up wearing the very same thing? Oh, I'd just die.....

Offer is now open to anyone else. I do have an extra passporter if anyone needs one. Just email or PM. First come, first served.

Dean

 

[The4OfUs]

Dean, you've been tagged! Hah! Guess your post in the tag thread worked!! *grin*

 

[dheller97]

Wooooo-hooooo! I didn't even see it! Now, if I just had documents. Are you listening, Tag Fairy?

Dean

 

[The4OfUs]

YOU got a tag, so therefore *I* get my docs first! That's how it works, pal!!



(*crosses fingers*)

 

[Kabuli1]

Good for you, Dean! Wow, a tag!

I have decided that I will never ask for a tag. If I ever get one it will be a complete surprise!

I am jealous, tho!

Karyn

 

[Kabuli1]

Dean, I forgot to say, I'll make sure Randy doesn't wear his black Speedo the same night.
