22 Sept 2012. First Sailing Out Of Galveston, TX

[texasbloke]

Thanks for keeping up with the roll call I know that it is hard to keep up with all the changes. We would like to add that we are celebrating our 15th Wedding Anniversary! Our actual Anniversary is 11/15, but since we got such an amazing deal and this was the cruise I wanted to be on, since it is the 1st 1 out of TX, we are celebrating early.

I have added a column for celebrations to the FE list. If you are celebrating any special occasions and are on the FE list please let us know.

Our stateroom number is #2558

Hi guys! Finally jumping on board with this board. Super excited to be joining everyone on the inaugural trip out of Galveston! This will be our first cruise and I definitely want to have the full cruise experience! I will add us to the FE exchange and need to figure out what else I need to know. Totally confused about lanyards etc.

My name is Ashlee and I will be traveling with my husband Roger and our almost 5 year old daughter Milla. We are in #7548! Excited to "meet" everyone!

Welcome to the group Ashlee... Your room is near mine. I am in 7566.

There are lots of fun stuff going on. Glad you joined the FE and hope you plan on joining the Champagne Girls "Beauties and the Beasts Event". You can sign up on the link in my signature. Be sure to sign up on the one for the Inaugural cruise. Girls will wear a pink boa and tiara... We have posted some pics for T-shirts too if you want. This is a fun event so please plan to join in.

To sign up for lanyards I think you need to go to the post on page 7 near the end of the page. Post is by Traditionsatsea.

We have a meet and greet planned for 3:00 in Promenade Lounge on the day of embarkation. Promenade Lounge is mid ship on deck 3.

Thanks for the warm welcome! We just moved our room to 6592. Wanted to get as close to the middle of the ship as possible (I've had motion sickness in the past). Glad to be here!

I updated the roll call list a day early! Please double check your info, and if it needs revised or info added just let know! Green highlights indicate missing stateroom numbers, and yellow highlights indicate other info is missing (such as names).

If anyone is interested in joining the lanyard team, please let me know. The lanyard team is in charge of designing, purchasing, and handing out the lanyards.

I'm Jon and TxGoofyGirl is Katy. Our cabin is #5648

Ok I have been looking every where for the answer to this question and can not find it. Does anyone know if you are able to leave the kids at the kids club while you go ashore and if so is there a cost?

I have signed myself and Mike up for the champagne tasting. He is somewhat of an event photographer and so will be taking lots of pictures but also wanted to do the tasting.

We are flying out on 19th September and staying at Hobby Country Inn & Suites prior to joining the cruise.

We now have a number for our Gtee cabin 7552.

Anyone recommend a good steakhouse in the area of the Gulf Freeway?

One of my favorites and also one of Houston's best steakhouses is Bonnie's Beef and Barrel. It is located on the Gulf Freeway a couple miles from Hobby. He is a link to it. (It is a little pricey but worth it)

Kids clubs are open with no fee. Only one that charges is the Reef nursery.

Journal/Autograph Books: Reminder.... Anyone else interested in having a very special and personalized journal/autograph book please let me know ASAP. We are getting close to cruising time and I would like to make sure anyone wanting ones gets one. Please PM me for more info if you are interested in them. The cost is $35.

We are flying in to IAH on Friday afternoon. Looking for a hotel that provides airport transportation and would like to find something near a store so that we can make a beverage run. Any suggestions? Cheap is good, we just need to grab dinner and sleep.

Yay!! We are getting close!!! We need to have our minimum of 25 participants met, then DCL will give us a date & time.

But...if we don't get the required number of "paying customers" for them, we will still have our event!! We'll need to pick a day/time, but for now we are hoping for more participation so Disney will host us!

Awesome to have an event photographer too!!

Reminder: the link to sign up is in TxMermaid1 (Jill's) signature!!

We are getting really close. Make sure if you are signed up to the Champagne Girls, Beauties and the Beasts Event that you have put down your reservation number.. (only those wanting to pay for the tasting) We need that in order to book the event.
