5/27/06 "Il pochi il fiero i blabbermouths" We *will* sail again Part 10

[justmestace]

Hmmmm - I have a copy of the Match your Mate video....hehe..

Virgil

How did YOU get that??? NO FAIR! Now I can't blackmail Jim anymore. I certainly can't afford to blackmail YOU!

 

[justmestace]

We're back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


It was an early morning for us as we left Boardwalk at 5 am. While checking in at the airport it gave us the option to upgrade to First Class for a reasonable fee so we jumped on it! So Jim Bear finally got to fly first class!

WOW. You guys had some MAJOR pixie dust going on this trip, didn't you??

 

[justmestace]

You don't have to pay me for the video. I'll be sending it to everyone and just include you in the mailing list. But thanks for the offer.

DRATS. I was hoping to con the master out of you. Not something the whole world needs to see, you know.

 

[justmestace]

And you never know - it might have been turned in.....

love, Polyanna.....

Jordan told me that she knows exactly where it was. On a shelf, next to a bowl that I kept an air freshener in. The air freshener was gone also. I think the room steward took the air freshener on that last day in preparation for the next guests...in case they are sensitive to perfumes or something. They also take away the big "book" that's in the room, with the dining room menus and our special printed stationery. I never did take out and keep our stationery. But then, they've never taken the book out on the last day of the cruise, either. Reminds me of the Princess cruise where they hid the pen and notepad. Speaking of which, we had no notepad and only one pen in the room.
I didn't feel that concierge was anywhere near up to par on this cruise.

But...just in case, does anyone have the number for Lost & Found?

Sadly, I gained 8 lbs as well. I enjoyed every bite, but Jim must have realized how much I had gained (I only gained 5 on the Christmas Cruise) because on our 2nd day of Castaway Cay at Breakfast Jim (being his sensitive self) said " Ok lets go little Children, lets go Big Mom" The kids laughed while I pretend to cry. After 20 years of marriage, it's not like I was surprised by this commment!!!!

If I could go back in time I would of eaten it all over again! Yap EVERY bite!

 

[soothy]

Not to worry Captain Mickey popped a button on his jacket while we were visitng the bridge with Mark & Mary. Guess he enjoyed the food to much this cruise too.

I am laughing so hard it hurts. Is this true

 

[soothy]

Stacy, I am getting worried reading how disapointed you were. We booked the same cat 3 for our next trip. Was it overall worth it? Do tell

I actually watched it last night to make sure it came out okay.

Me too, and more!!

 

[TiggerInNY]

See Jim! It's not so bad!!

Maria, one of the funniest things I remember was sitting behind you and the kids in the last Bingo (I didn't do the others) and listening to them yell "Go Michael!!!" and "Oh yea BABY!!!"

Still cracks me up......

Kevin, as you could tell it wasn't their "1st time" at Bingo and Michael advises you to say those things when you either GET a number or don't like what he's calling. It was an expensive hobby and I couldn't shake them from letting "mommy" go alone. I love bingo normally and enjoyed sharing the gambling bug with the kids. Now they know the dissapointment I experience when I go to bingo. Another lesson learned. Glad you enjoyed the entertainment. Anybody want a cute little 6 year old boy???

 

[TiggerInNY]

My photos are definitely nothing to write home about... there are whole days that the camera didn't make it out of the bag... and I'm defintely NOT a photographer... just a snapshot-taker... if anyone wants to see them, PM me your e-mail address, and I'll send you the link to the Kodak Gallery that they are posted on...

Yeah - what she said. My camera may have made it out of the bag a little more. I have 186 pictures at the Kodak gallery. Let me know.

 

[TiggerInNY]

Now I know I'm home cause I'm up in the middle of the night. STACEY WHERE ARE YOU??? Slept like a baby on the cruise. I guess the sea air was good for me. AND, I felt great on the cruise...no aches, pains or illnesses. Soon as we got back things started to bother both of us. Hmmmm....what does that tell ya. If we didn't need our entire back yard (1/4 of an acre) to be totally graded, stone walls to be built and new grass - we would've rebooked. Gotta do what you gotta do.

WOO WOO - A TOP WITH NOT SLEEPING AND SPENDING A LOT OF MONEY....

 

[TiggerInNY]

Good morning everyone!!!!

[chip&dale&fun]

Good Morning Maria....Good Morning All.....Have a Wonderful Tuesday!

Yep it is true. He was taking pictures with the families and one of his gold buttons popped off! We kidded him that he must have hit the buffet too often and he put his hand over his mouth and laughed. Then we found out that it was a button from his shoulder that popped off so he must have been working out. He nodded and flexed his muscle for us. It was a cute moment.

We were also disappointed in Concierge this trip - but that is only because it was our fifth time in concierge and knew about what to expect. The room was great as was the location - really didn't have much noise from above. It is sometimes hit and miss with concierge - when we were on our 4 day Wonder in May - they were wonderful - best we ever had - so that clouded our judgement a little.

I think you'll love the Cat. 3.

Ok ladies and gents, boys and girls, if we want to to a photo CD swapping thing, here's the easiest method:

Send all of them to me, I'll combine them into a DVD-rom (hopefully one) or cd-roms(if needed), which I'll send back to everyone who sends us one.
Include $5 for materials/shipping etc. with your submission.

While I will be doing some fixing as needed to make all the pics into .jpg format, I will guarantee quality.

Deadline for submissions for the swap by the END OF JUNE.

Drop me a pm for mailing info.

I'm with you, Scubamom.............
and if I had it to do over again.......I'd ask for 3 chocolate souffles.....just to see if I could get them down, as I now know I can do 2! (ask Sherry.....she saw it!)

OK................time to go for a walk.............. (pretend this guy is "walking with attitude")

One thing I should clarify, and I'm really sorry..... we don't book the Cat 3 for the concierge service. We book it for the extra space in the room. We had three teenagers this trip, and it was worth every single penny, and then some, to have the extra bathroom (especially with the two girls!) and the sleeping space.
One of the best concierge perks (and this doesn't change) is when you are tendering into a port, you get priority tender. No going to the theater and getting a ticket.
I just find it interesting how each concierge team is different. And I think it's interesting that we've gotten totally different "service" after being in the Cat 1, the Cat 2, and the Cat 3's. And we didn't necessarily get better service in the Cat 1, either.
So again, it's not so much that I was disappointed....just found it interesting that there isn't a "standard".

When Shutters retrieved my "deleted" pictures and put them on disk, they ended up being all out of order. Does it matter to anyone that my pictures won't be in order???
Also....technical question....I have waaaay too many "fishie" pictures. When I put the pics onto a disk to send to you, how do I skip over some of the fish pictures??
