7/18/2010 Mickey's Baltic Ballyhoo!! Part 2

[Caropooh]

It looks like the Temps will be moderating by the time I get there!

However the trip to the airport will be chilly as the Arctic air is supposed to hit Mass Thursday into Friday!

I was not planning on bringing a camera but will reconsider as I will be playing something called whirlie ball supposed to be a cross between bumper cars & Jai Lai!

Torture... sheer torture.

I mean, Calfornia is a wonderful state, just about the perfect place to live. Except... that it's virtually impossible to find a decent pizza. Let's face it, the best pizza in the world is in New York.

But as tempting as it is, that's a long flight for a slice of pizza - even if there is a Dismeet involved

Grew up in LI, so I was spoiled from birth by NY pizza. I have managed to find some decent replicas in Virginia though.

I'll post more pics on the new thread in a few days.


Izzi, can you post a link to my pics from this thread on the new thread? I think they started on page 227. thx

Actually, I found a few starting on pages 221 and 222
But the best ones are at page 227

I sent pms to my friends to try and convince them to hop on board here. No luck so far though


Has anyone done a cost comparison with the DCL Baltic cruise with other Baltic cruises from other cruiselines ?
We did a rough comparison and thought that with our 10% rebooking discount and takinf into consideration room sizes and extra fees that there really wasn't much difference
Did anyone else find the same thing

 

[MrsScooby]

I forgethow many families we had in the FE for the EB Repo, but I believe it was over 100.

It was somewhere around 120-130. Delivery took a looong time

Leave it to you to post those links!

Leave it to me to pay 20 bucks times 2 to play that stupid sport!
However it is my understanding that alcohol is available on the premises!

Too much serious cruise talk

I was just looking to see how many posts the other Baltic cruises have....
no listing for June 24
2739 for June 12
1094 for July 6

We have 7509 as of this post!

We almost booked for the 24th. A cruise with no Disers?????

WOW lucky escape

It gets mentioned every so often.



It's never too early. I just emailed my tour operator in StP again today for more ideas for something different for us to do. She has lots and lots of ideas for us, this gives us more time to decide. But I'm really leaning towards going to the Fabrage jewelry factory, that sounds heavenly to me, and really expensive.

Oh No! Please don't let Linda know about this option!!! We already have to do the gold room at Catherine's Palace. At least there, I don't think they'll be selling the gold after the tour.

I thought Barb was already in on that date, too . . . Let's keep posting the information and see if we can get Mike and Linda interested in coming up on that day . . . and Sallie of course . . .

I'm pretty sure Linda has to work that day, so most likely we'll have to pass. But if there's another meet later on, we'll do our best to be there!

There was no fighting for the first post last time, I just did it very leisurely since Mike wouldn't.

I gave him the time to post and he wouldn't. I think he was being a gentleman about it.

"A gentleman" ??? or maybe he was too scared that he might be mown down in the stampede

I was being nice. Plus I have heard some nice things about him from someone that's known him for many years.

Me, "gentlemanly"? Them's fightin' words!

PS. Barb, tell Tammy I said Hi. We were just talking about her the other day!

Who me !!!! Never !!!! I'm the quiet, shy, retireing type........... you just ask anyone who was on deck 10 on the sail away party out of Barcelona on our Romancing the Mouse Med cruise

Believe it or not, I'm fairly shy too. You just wouldn't know that if you listen to some of the stories that are told about me around here. And if Laura posts any pictures, just know that they're Photoshopped!

Sounds like a good time. Have fun!

I forgethow many families we had in the FE for the EB Repo, but I believe it was over 100.

I'm pretty sure we ended up in the 130's. I did up a map for all of the Dis'ers on the cruise, and color coded the cabins so we could include everyone, whether or not they wanted to do the FE exchange.

That's what I'm saying!! Can you just imagine walking down the hall and not seeing any door signs?

 

[cruisin'Mike]

I had Zack walk around to deliver with me. We got to Sandra's cabin, and he must have looked pitiful, because she invited us in and shared her candy with him.

I'm sure you'll see a ton on this cruise, just on our door alone. We kept adding signs for each new port, and we got quite a few as FE gifts. By the end of the cruise, there was very little bare door left. And I can't believe we forgot to take a picture of them!

Looks like as you've got previous experience that you just volunteerd yourself for another job

That's actually one that I was planning on volunteering for, but thanks for making sure that I can't get out of it now!

That would just be the worst, bleakest thing. On the other hand I can't believe that there would be a "special" cruise with not one DISSER onboard

 

[Disneynutinlondon]

oooopppps I've just noticed we're on page 251 I wonder how long we're going to be allowed to keep this going.

Don't worry about it -- just keep posting here until they lock it . . . on our PC repo thread sometimes they wouldn't notice until 255 or so . . .

Sounds good to me

Should we just keep on going? What happens if you post and there is no room? Are you just out there in cyber space?

HAA HAA HAA could you imagine all these little Dis Green bubbles floating around "out there" with all our lost posts in them

Are you working now Izzie or are you home already? Me, being a Domestic Goddess, I am just !!
