4/25/09 Magic - First Visit To Tortola!

[CKCruising]

...I did have a bit of an idea for a cruise banner for us though. What about using the letter flags that ships sail to spell out Tortola and then add the numeral flag for one. We could put the flags on one line and then add the dates of the cruise below.

I don't know that I know how to do this so if anyone has any idea how to carry out the idea..... Go for it!
...
What does anyone think?

Can I join in if I make the banner? This looks like a good idea...Let me see what I can come up with over the weekend.

Chris.

LOL! You don't need to DO anything to join in. BUT I do need help with the banner.

I only sort of know Word, so I was putting it together in that. I found a nice font and all the flags and even figured out how to size the flags and put shading around them, and then .....

I am stumped. I thought a nice color background might be nice, but couldn't figure out how to do it or how to size it or even how to get it to where people could see it so they could give their opinions on it!

So... You definately wouldn't be stepping on any toes here! If it would help you I could email you what I have.

Thanks for any and all help!

How does this look?

I had one with black font but changed to the yellow as it was easier to read.

I used the Taking it to Tortola slogan, to see what I could do, but that is easy to change.

Any suggestions are more than welcome.

I can't post any samples in my posts yet until I get 10 posts (hence the useless posts ), so i just have to use my signature to show you guys.

From my blind eye, looks wonderful to me.
Just one question, are there 2 flags the same, the red/yellow diagonals?

 

[CKCruising]

I spelt T O R T O L A

The T (Red-White-Blue Bars) and the O (Red-Yellow Triangle) are both repeated

I could put the letters inside? Personally, I think it adds a bit of mystery without.

Hi Everyone!

My family and I just booked this cruise last week! I can't wait to get back on the ship!

We just got back from a 4 night Wonder cruise and I miss it already We did an FE exchange and it was a blast! Would love to do it again!

The banner looks great!!

I'm glad everybody is getting on the "fish extender bandwagon"!!

I would be willing to compile a list of everyone who wants to participate...young or old...and your room numbers (if you know them).
This makes it a lot easier when delivering gifts.

I'll start the list with myself;

Morgy827 (27) & DH (33) Room....I can't remember right now but I'll look it up

Here is the link to the Banner (You will have to replace the ____ with http as I can't post a link yet)

We've had this cruise booked for a couple of months. It's me, DW, DS (4) in one room and his two grandmas in the next room.

I think I'd be interested in a fish extender, but it seems a bit intimidating if the group is large.

Thank you for the banner, i love it!-- but look at my sign. I can't get it to show up- any ideas?? Computers are not my thing- thank you!

Not sure about the fish extender thing- it sounds like fun, but very time consuming from what I have read on other trip reports. What aboput a secret Mickey or something where we all pick one family to surprise and that will lighten our load on the way to and home- what does everyone think???

We are in for the fish extender exchange.

Thank you for the banner, it looks great!!

I have heard about hte fish extender exchange but I would have ot agree with amy2girls, it sounds time consuming. I like any2girls idea about a secret mickey exchange.


Just tried adding the banner but can't. Guess I will have to wait till I get home and use that computer. I really do hate these web filters at work!!

 

[amy2girls]

Thank you CK - it looks great- thanks again for your ideas and help!!

 

[amy2girls]

SO........... Southwest opened their dates today - through May- not looking good- $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ CRAZY!

On my last cruise we had about 20 rooms participate which seemed intimidating at first but was really not that bad. People were really creative abd came up with itmes that were small enough to pack as to not take up to much space. If you search on the boards there are many, many great ideas for fish extender gifts. The best gift we got was magnets that were made for each night of the cruise...so on pirate night there was mickey & minnie dressed in their pirate outfits with the date on it, on formal night they were in their formal outfits, etc. It was really fun to come back to the room and see which new magnet was stuck on our door. I'll try to get a picture of our door if I can remember how to put it on here.

I am willing to give anything a shot once. Is it more about gifts for the kids or everyone?

Now I just need to get grandma working on these
