Always have gone to the BBB.

I don't know why but we always do end up there.

I think I like to be up where I can see out.

 

[Cruisin]

See Betsy, you are not wrong

The BBB is usually the first place we head when we get onboard the ship.

Have some lunch and then the cabins are probably ready to get into.

Then I just like to walk around and look at things, like the kids clubs etc while they are fairly empty of children. Even if you have no kids with you, it's neat to have a quick look.

Hehe....two things I noticed...

1st...I forgot I've been to the Carribbean , so I guess *that* would be the furthest south I've ever been away from home.

2nd...Mandy said Soccer Come on Woman! You live in England right? It's Football!!!

oh yeah...everyone on the DIS answered Happy Endings

 

[tiggerwannabe]

Ever find yourself looking into the background of a picture?

Look! It's the band from rockin bar d and DJ Dave!





Towards the end of our cruise, DJ Dave was doing adult games at the pool & he *knew* the horn was gonna blow! I caught on as quick as he said..."Cover your ears!!!!" The horn went and O m g...the echo down on deck 9 with that horn blasting overhead is LOUD! ...but wonderful...

Everybody else who caught on got a good giggle out of it as we all took our hands back down off of our ears.

My 2005 Christmas cruising friends are already planning on have our reunion, Christmas 7 day, 2009...I'm hoping my TKer friends might consider trying to hit that same cruise. Of course we'd have to invite all the upcoming 010707 tker cruisers as well, doncha think?

Who's in?


btw...clicking on the picture above will take you to my cruisie photo album if y'all find yourself with some viewing time.

[mandymouse]

2nd...Mandy said Soccer Come on Woman! You live in England right? It's Football!!!

LOL ~ I know, but usually people from the US think that football means American Football, BTW your cruise photos are brilliant

Mandy

 

[disallday!]

Colleen ~ Love the pictures, especially little Wilson zonking out before the party ends Soo cute!! If we don't empty our savings, checking, and half to do a second mortgage, I would love a Christmas cruise! I don't think DH would want to leave home and be away from family (mine & his) at Christmas... we'll see

Mandy ~ I was wondering if my answers would be too confusing I put both soccer and football


Happy Friday to all our cruisers! I am getting rather ancy about this whole thing, the kids passports cannot get here quick enough!! We have most our trip planned, just a few more details to work out!

I can't wait!!
