2011/2012 Reunion Cruise?

[BethC1952]

Initially I mentioned a Reunion cruise for the month of December in 2012. However, Bill has been having discussions with Tracey Whipple (a former employee of Dreams Unlimited and now owner of a new travel company). She is offering (kind of how DISboards/DU hosted the cruise we just went on) a seven-night cruise special on the Fantasy in October of 2012. While onboard, we booked a "dummy date" to be moved to a real 2012 cruise on the Fantasy. We're just waiting on the exact dates and pricing from Tracey. If you want, I will pass this information on to y'all. We plan to go on this cruise and support Tracey's new venture. If you've ever used DU in the past for a DCL cruise, you most likely were in contact with Tracey. She is great! But sadly, no longer with DU (for reasons I will not go into on this forum).

I'm interested in the cruise information! You can PM me here or message me on Facebook!

Just found out that I will most likely be going to Andersen AFB on Guam, or Lajes AB in the Azores! So I'll either be living on an island in the Pacific or an Island in the Atlantic!

Both sound like fun, I'm hoping to find out this coming week.....

Taking off next weekend for an weekend cruise on Monarch of the Seas - chance for an adult weekend! Got a great rate on a single cabin!

Take care everyone!

Okay, how many cruises have you been on? Everytime I read, you have just been on a cruise or on your way to another cruise. Are you going to retire on The World?

Bill almost taught for DoDDS in Guam when we first got married. Guam and Germany were two of the places they mentioned he might have been sent to. Guam looked very tropical. Are you still a Recruiter? If so, how does that work in Guam?

My nephew is currently in Marines Basic Training in San Diego, CA. I hope he is sent to Guam instead of Afghanistan.

Good luck wherever you end up!

32 and counting! .

Are you going to retire on The World?
No, but I may decide to work on a ship after I retire from the military. The pay for officers is great, and you get up to 50% of your time as paid vacation!

Are you still a Recruiter? Yes, I'm still in Recruiting here, but once I leave I'll go back to the regular Air Force.

My nephew is currently in Marines Basic Training in San Diego, CA. I hope he is sent to Guam instead of Afghanistan.
I was stationed in San Diego for 3 years, you should try to get out there for his graduation, it's beautiful!

Good luck wherever you end up!

Thanks! Btw, loved the photos of your snow covered palm trees!

Jennifer-
I'm so glad you guys had a good time on your trip. I'm so sorry the kids got sick though.
Definately keep us in the loop about that cruise next year. I really want to go!!

Nothing yet on the sale of the house. We had one person look at it a couple of weeks ago, but nothing since then. Our realtor called today and she is going to have an open house for the other realtors tomorrow. Cross your fingers that something good comes out of this!!! I also applied for a Secretary I position at the Vero Beach resort on Sunday!!! I couldn't pass up the chance to apply for that. Hopefully I will get a call about it. I've been checking my phone every 15 minutes since Sunday!!
I'll keep you guys updated on what goes on!!!

Last day on the Dream. I've taken lots of pictures, and will try to upload them as soon as I can.

plutojudy - The adult pool is pitiful! Everyone I spoke to agrees that they really messed that one up. The area by the pool is cramped and crowded. There are more adult areas up on deck 12 and 13, but there's not a lot of shade there.

We sailed up next to the Magic while she was docked at Castaway Cay yesterday and the ships took turns blowing their horns. It was pretty cool.

Overall the Dream is a beautiful ship, but just doesn't have the charm of the Magic or Wonder. The aquaduck is a lot of fun, and the Midship Detective Agency game is cool - kind of like Kim Possible at EPCOT. But you really end up scratching your head at some of the decisions they made with this ship.

I'm anxious to hear your opinion Beth. Oh by the way, be sure to bring an card with a magnetic strip that you can use to keep the lights on in your room.

After I get back, I'll have to tell you about all the riots that have broken out over the souvenirs - which are already on Ebay by the way.

I just found a whole collection of old key cards from previous trips. I tucked a few of them in my wallet for the lights.

I had read about the riots over the souvenirs. I have a few friends who have asked me to get them a "Dream" pin. I told them I'd do what I could, but no guarantees! I don't plan on ruining my trip over some pins!

I'll be taking tons of pictures, too. I'm actually doing some "scouting" for a travel agent friend of mine who wants to be able to show his prospective clients a view of the ship from a passenger, not a travel professional.

I can't wait to see your pictures!

Wendy-
I hope you guys had a great time!!! My BIL and SIL just got back from a pre-inaugural sailing for my SIL's conference. They loved the ship too, but said there were some things they liked about the Magic better.
They also told us about people and the souveniers. That's just insane!!!
We've already bought a couple of the Maiden Voyage wine glasses from ebay!! lol I would rather buy it there than have to be in the middle of a knock down drag out fight.
Can't wait to see tons of pictures!!!

I'm hoping I get there! They're predicting another storm for Saturday. I've got my ear on the weather, and if it looks like it's going to impact travel, I'm going to try to change our flight to the latest one I can get on Friday.

I'm going to put some pictures on Facebook on Sunday when we board (I hope). I can't post a link here, but I think most of you are already on my friends list. My phone gets a bit fussy about posting stuff here, too. Sometimes I can and sometimes I can't. I'm not going to have internet access on the ship, but I'll have it as soon as we get back to Pop Century! Of course, yesterday I realized that I can't find the charger for my digital camera, and I haven't seen it since we moved. Maybe I'll be buying myself a new camera on the cruise!

Finally got my Dream pictures posted! I'll put an abbreviated version on FB, but here's a link that includes sub-albums of the different areas. Just look for the list on the right side of the screen. Enjoy!
