~Have any of you decided to dine together?~

A bunch of us, who had the same dining rotation-ours was late,
linked our ressies and actually sat together every night of the cruise.
Breakfasts were usually missing a family or two
but every night we had 13 for dinner.
We'd all switch who sat next to whom each night
cause talking across a table of 13 people is rediculous

This photo was our last breakfast,
you can see the handle of one of our suitcases in the front of the picture

Hiya

It's been a Bank Holiday over here today (day off work ~ woohoo !!), so we spent most of this morning at a shopping mall. Hubby bought me some lovely black diamante sandals to go with my black dress for the cruise and some black cropped trousers for Pirate night ~ I'm soooooo excited.

I've also added day 7 & 8 to my trip reports

Hey Colleen, I think some of us have put in for first dining and linked our ressies. Hope it all works out!!

Hi Mandy, sounds like you had a nice shopping day. I spent the day shopping with DH too, we bought furniture.

Hope everyone had a nice Monday.

Chat more later

Happy Tuesday everyone.....Its still raining here...Hope it stops ...I have a family reunion to go to this weekend.....So a little P and PD would help!

Oh and I recieved my cruise packet...Not much in it I didnt already know, but it was fun to get ANYTHING from the DCL!

Kelly ~ Miami Vice was rubbish, even Paul (who'll sit through most bad programmes) wanted to get up and leave half way through it. I'm not a fan of Colin Farrell's anyway, but I thought that Jamie Foxx would've been a bit cooler in it. I think I'll just stick to the 80's version

That's ashame! I'm not big on remakes of tv shows (i.e. Dukes of Hazzards & now this). I'm with you, I'd rather remember Don Johnson's days!

It's neat to hear that your been clothes shopping for the cruise! I can't wait to start doing that!! The shoes sound really cute, I love shoes and pocketbooks!

I have some pretty exciting news....I just sent out Randall's passport Friday.

Today is actually Randall's b-day , he has Poison Ivy he had to leave early on the first day due to an appointment I couldn't change, 3rd grade....nothing unusual. 4th grade...poison ivy? Well, it's better than the black eye or swollen eye, I was beginning to think they might report me to the state or something.!!

For the passports!!

It sounds like Randall needs to be wrapped in bubble wrap this time of the year Bless his heart, poison ivy for a birthday present... hope he gets over it quickly!!

Have fun with all of those boys running around, I'll pass the Calgon over

BTW...

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY, RANDALL​

Robin... Hope you're having a great time in FL! We wish we were all there with ya!!!

Colleen ~ I really enjoy looking at the photos you post! It does get me more excited than what I am for the cruise Which is ALOT!!

The last breakfast feels just that... like I will never dine again the same way! It is soooo dreadful!

Glad you & DH enjoyed a quiet night at home, sometimes they are the best!! & DQ... yummy, yummy

Hope this helps for the weather!! A family reunion sounds great, I love getting together and seeing how everyone is!!

You got your cruise packet! Oh, it's almost like Mr. Mouse has contacted you directly! I know that made your day!!

Hopefully ours will come in soon! DSis x 2, both got theirs yesterday! I'm jealous

 

[disallday!]

Not that I caught up... GUESS WHAT!!!

We've got all our passports, the kids' passports came in yesterday! Exactly a month after we filed for them

Next to tackle... deciding what excursions (if any) & what I need to pack

WAHOO!! ​

Good luck with your family reunion, I hope you all have a fab time

I've never received any post from DCL (except my documents), so I really hope I get one of those packets too

WAHOO!! ​

Yay !! Great news that your passports have arrived

I don't think we'll be bothering with excursions, we really enjoy just chilling especially after spending the New Year at WDW - what kind of excursions do you fancy doing ??

I managed to sort out all of Becky's cruise clothes today, we were in a store for about 5 minutes and she found a skirt, 2 tops and a dress in no time - brilliant

We might not do any excursions, the banana boat ride may be the only thing we do since we love Castaway Cay. That will prob be the only time we leave the ship is to hang out at CC!!

Wow... I'm amazed that she found that much in such a short amount of time! Chad is easy to shop with but Carolin... watch out, she usually takes awhile and is cranky in the process!

Okay, now I not so jealous! I pulled a Wendy (sorry girl !) and opened up my sis's cruise mail. It was just a travel kit from DCL, but I still am a little green with envy... afterall she did receive something from Disney

Kelly are you kidding ?? We spent 3 hours yesterday looking in the shopping mall and she couldn't see a thing - LOL

Mandy

 

[disallday!]

That's when I have to stop and get some chocolate or a soft pretzel in the mall... I used to hate shopping with DH, now it's with DD

That sounds horrible, doesn't it Guilt, guilt!

 

[mandymouse]

Guys, what are you looking forward to the most ?? Name 3 things. That should be quite hard as there are so many things to look forward to.

Here's mine

1 - Boarding and hearing our names announced
2 - Sunbathing on the top deck with a Bahama Mama in my hand
and
3 - Meeting you lot - LOL closely followed by relaxing in a hammock on Castaway Cay

Here's mine in order:

1. Being alone with DH
2. Eating in Palo alone with DH (this one is tied with eating my soufle -- all for me! get your spoon out of my soufle! )
3. Seeing an almost first run movie (not rated "G") with DH

I could go on and on.... counting down

Except for CC, the girls and I probably spent an hour off the ship at each port...

I rather enjoyed a quiet ship while everyone else was off doing their excursions. I even fell asleep by the adult pool one day cause it was sooo quiet

Enjoy your planning...I'm still right there with you
