22 Sept 2012. First Sailing Out Of Galveston, TX

[RM1SW]

Happy Birthday! Welcome home! And thanks to you and your husband for your service. What branch are you in?

We decided to go ahead and drive down Friday night and will be staying at the Holiday Inn Sunspree Resort that night. TxGoofyGirl will probably be sleeping the whole way down (), so I've a hunch we may be heading out for a drink or two that night around midnight.

OK, let's be serious. We'll probably have a few drinks, wake up and find a few more drinks, and then schlep over to the port after lunch. The Spot looks interesting and a likely destination.

The Tasting Event is now relaunched with a twist!!

For anyone not on the FB page, here are some graphics we'll be using for Tshirts & such....

And:

Sorry the files are so huge!! I'm just now using mage hosting to post on DIS for the first time...even though I've been on this site 12 years...lol

Cost will be $20 per person. DCL will assign us a private room & time for this & we'll post as soon as we have the info from them!! As Jill said, it will be on a sea day, approximately one hour, and we'll have a great time!!

Pink Boas & Tiaras are always a nice touch, but for those who are not so into pink.....we have the other option for you. We're thinking the 'Beer' graphic would be best on a TAN 'T' to keep with the theme, but if you would like pink, go for it!!!!

Jill has the link to the sign-up sheet in her signature!! If this one doesn't work, please try the one there!!

Nice work on the graphics!

One nitpick though; you misspelled "Inaugural" on the bottle. Might want to change that before anyone sends it over the VistaPrint.

We are in the AF we love it so far. Thank you and thank you.

If you want to order a Tshirt or make an iron on transfer, PM me your email & I'll send you the big files for these - they look a lot better with the original file.

If we get 25 who want to taste (minimum DCL needs) we'll send in the request and then get word from them about where & when they want us to do it. If we have less than the required 25 paying guests, we can decide to meet somewhere on our own!!

So if you think you'd like to do this, it's best to sign up as soon as possible. the sooner we can get the request to DCL, the more time we'll have to see if it works for everyone.

It will be on a sea day & about an hour or so....most likely some time between 1 & 4, but we will see

This will be the very 1st cruise for my family. It will be Myself, My Husband and our 6yr Daughter. its only our 2nd family vacation ever and we are SUPER excited. We will be celebrating my 36th Birthday and the 3 of us will be celebrating being together again. Both My husband and I are in the military and I am just returning home from a 6 month deployment.

Welcome to the cruise!

Thank you for your service!

 

[hamm1207]

OOOH pleas share what you got.

When does she pull into port?

I bought 2 t-shirts on vista print.

On ebay i bought a set of plush mickey hands for waving the ship into port. I also bought another outfit for Walt (my traveling mickey ears bear), but "shhhh" don't tell my husband!

I sure will as well.
I wil lalso be doing a Trip report, but it will be slow going as I post a zillion pictures...and I also leave for WDW on Nov. 2, so I won't have much time till I have to leave again.
But I'm sure I'll have the boarding part written by then.

Joining in! I booked the cruise this AM! I know jenseib and a couple other gals on the cruise (though, not sure they are on the group here?). Right now it's just ME, MYSELF AND I in an Oceanview (GTY).

I'm interested to learn about the different excursions. I definitely want a beach day, and to try snorkeling. Gotta do some research!

ETA: I just saw the link to the Facebook group on a previous page, so I put in a request to join!

Welcome aboard, glad there is another group of "ME, MYSELF AND I".

Hi all,

I'm trying to find out if anyone on the FE list has any allergies to peanuts or almonds?? I posted my question on the fb page too.

I just don't want to make anyone sick & I couldn't find that info on the roll call or FEs (which is probably good news, and there are none)!!

TIA

Just booked this cruise! Carol and Mike from Oregon in an OV GTY. I will have to read up on this thread over the next few days to see what group activities are planned. I might be interested in the champagne tasting. Not sure about FE; when is the deadline? We want to snorkel and see some ruins so I need to read up on excursions.
