8/17/08 Captain Jack's Repossession Repo Cruise to PC thru TPC #15 /Life After the PC

[cruisin'Mike]

I think we're very interested in the Baltic, and hoping that they'll be 12 night cruises like our DISboard sleuths have speculated. Then I hope we can swing it! If we have to choose, we probably won't be doing the transatlantic though. As much as I love the Magic, I'm really interested in seeing those European ports.

Well,Harley was so happy to see me when I picked him up at the vet, he peed all over my feet! Good thing I was wearing flip flops and not my sneakers or those shoes would have been toast! I had a warm can of coke in the car and I just poured it ontop of my feet before I got in.

one more use for warm coke

 

[MrsScooby]

What?
I totally do not even remember ever seeing Trevoy acting up- seriously. PM me what happened or something because I don't remember it! I thought Trevoy was a sweet (and yes, very polite) kid and don't remember him acting up in any way! I was even thinking I wish I'd put Ruby in the OQ because she probably would have hung out with Trevoy since they hit it off so well before the cruise hanging out swimming and stuff. So what did I catch him doing that for some reason my brain decided to totally forget? LOL

It may have been me as I saw him giving Monica a hard time at one point.

Monica tell him I've seen worse, from folks much older than him

We were lucky DS14 had his meltdown in the cabin-much worse and glad noone saw it

 

[MrsScooby]

Baltic is sounding good right now-less chance for a peeling sunburn right

I have to agree.

Has anyone heard from MaineJennifer
Her DM got sick while on the TOAL and they had to leave early
I know she was stable when they left and they were mostly being cautious, but I haven't seen her post yet. I hoping everything turned out ok
They were great tablemates.

Oh, no!!! I hope everything is ok now.

one more from #14...

Let me toss an wild question out there to the group.

Let me preface it with an interesting story.

The evening before the cruise we ate at Goofy's Kitchen in DLH and we overheard our waitress talking to another table about the upcoming repo cruise. I figured the people she was serving must be going...

So I asked her. And she said, "No those folks are friends of mine. I was telling them that I was going on the Repo cruise."

Suffice it to say, we hit it off with her from then on. Our respective DDs hit it off and we sat near each other at several of the shows in the Walt Disney Theatre.

She is not a Disboarder. We never got her contact info and never had a formal goodbye.

Her name was Laura and her DD (about age 9) was Madison.

I have great pictures of them. If anyone has contact information from them I would love to share the photos with them.

Alternatively, does anyone know some one that works at Goofy's Kitchen or plans to eat there soon?

I hope you find them! That is an interesting story!

I'm with you! And I've never been to Europe! I don't know how I've let that happen!!!

Hello fellow Pirates,

I know I didn't post much because, quite frankly, the thread moved way too quickly for me to even try to keep up. I managed to keep abreast of what was going on via the slower Pirates Zone thread and a big hearty thank-you to Tom for organizing that. In fact, I was a little apprehensive about doing this cruise without really "knowing" many of my fellow cruisers. I knew as early as embarkation that my fears were all for naught. I was totally floored by just how welcoming and friendly everybody was. I participated in the FE list expecting that most people who didn't "know" me would just bypass my cabin. Boy, was I wrong! Day after day, my FE was filled with many wonderfully creative and generous gifts. Some of you guys are just too funny......I LOVED the messages on the poker cards and nearly passed out when I saw the chicken! Thank-you so very much for your kindness and generosity, but most of all, for making me feel like I was part of the bunch.

I also loved the costume parade on Pirates night and appreciate just how much time and effort many of you put into creating those wonderful outfits.

Thanks to all for making this trip so very special.

Jeanne

Wasn't it fun?? 10ds put the chicken on his lanyard -- and then had to stop wearing his lanyard to the Lab because *Too many kids keep touching my chicken*

[BibbidyBobbidyBoo]

That is such a shame. I didn't realize that one of the DISers had to leave the ship early. Hope that everything is Okay and will look for an update.

Ditto all of that!

Hmmm...wonder how long before DCL gets them to delete that information from their site like they did when DISers found info on the Med?

So Dis is really secretive about these things?

LOL
Maybe Monica just thought I saw it or MAYBE I did see it but it was no big deal to me because I have Ruby plus 2 other kids- I'm sure whatever I saw him doing was MINOR in comparison to the things my kids can do at times so I probably thought it was no biggie at all. LOL

(ditto glad that DD14's meltdowns were also in the cabin and weren't the LOUD form so that no one else heard them LOL)

Chicken? What's this talk about chicken? Must see picture because I didn't get a chicken either. LOL

 

[4fosterkids]

oh that silly chicken caused fights in our cabin!! LOL
My son loved it and has it proudly displayed on his bulletin board now!

I keep coming across little things as I sort thru papers and bags and such....they bring back such fun moments. I'm trying to write down notes, as I know I'll forget so many things before I get them scrapbooked! I'm really excited about scrapbooking this trip...especially after the absolutely amazing scrapbook swap we had in Stephanie's room! I feel like I'm ahead of the game with so many page layouts already done for me!

I looked thru pictures on the pirate board today....wow is all I can say! Such great shots and it was really fun to see pictures from things we did not get to go see (aka cliff divers, parties and excursions when we were off doing other things). There was a picture posted from the Hard Rock in Cartegena that had some of our group sitting and waiting for us while we were inside...LOL That was funny!

It is fun to see everybody's different shots, even if they are of similiar things. I love the "signs" group, as there are many signs onboard that I thought I took but forgot. That will come in handy while scrapbooking!

Thanks again for all the fun!

I'd also be curious to hear of peoples excursion's....the good, the bad and the ugly. I'm trying to keep notes of which were good and which were not. There were pic's of cabo and I wondered where the group was and if they liked the beach location.

Hi Everyone!

Just a thought for those who have lost memory cards or had cameras lost or damaged - a good habit is to have more than one card and swap them around each day. Even if you only have 2, if you swap them each day and end up losing one or having it die (they can self-destruct - it's just not that common) you would still have an assortment of photos from throughout your trip. Even better is to have 3 or 4 cards and keep switching them around.

Monica - My DH commented to me one day that it was totally unfair to call Trevoy a ST since he was a very polite, pleasant young man!


Baltic - I would LOVE to go to the baltic. My parents did a Baltic cruise this June and loved it. Their photos are fantastic. There are so many amazing ports there. We'll have to see what the prices are like - if we can afford it, I would love to go there.

Pamela

Thanks so much for the compliment on Trevoy. He really is a great kid. But just like anything else, it seems to be the bad that sticks out in one's mind. Most of the time I do not use the ST reference, but when I do, that's because he has recently tested my patience.

It may have been me as I saw him giving Monica a hard time at one point.

All in all, he only had 2 major meltdowns. First while waiting for the pirate bus. Second on Aruba day, which is why we missed the Jolly Pirates. He was quite contrite that night at dinner, not knowing who saw and who didn't. But after each incident he was very apologetic.


As for the one with Shelley. He was either running or jumping in the stairways and was spoken to by a cast member. He thought that he looked up and Shelley was right there. Might not have been her though. And after this incident I didn't hear any more about him running the halls.



I'm in a wait and see for the Baltic announcement. With the Med cruises, the itineraries were so rushed that people really didn't enjoy the cruises. I don't want to see Europe that way. If the ports will be more spaced out, then I'll consider one of the 12 days (assuming that's what they are) instead of the transatlantic. Especially if we can turn it into a reunion cruise.

 

[magicgg]

Finally home as of yesterday evening. Had another great week on the Magic not as eventful as the 15 day but relaxing. We only made it to CC one day rather then 2 but that's o.k. Our 2nd day at CC would have been a wash out.
Major storm on the island. The ship was already getting ready for dry dock while we were onboard, carpet laying going on in diff parts of the ship particle type board put down on deck 4 and deck 10 but all in all we still had a great time even with the ship rockin and a rolllin a couple of evenings. Now to unpacking and laundry and getting things put away Ugh! I will say we did have the best dressed pirates on the 15 day, the pirates on the 5 day didn't even compare.

I agree! I'm just sorry that I had to run out during the swap! LOL! Never enough time in a day! That's what I get for keeping the kid's club beeper on me! LOL!

Miss you too Kristina! Tell Andy and Devon hi for us.

Hey Guys - just returned from another reunion with my May 2nd family and they are still a blast. We have decided to cruise again and now that there is a possibility of Europe again - I'll have to text her.

I see a few repeats so I'm going to repeat some myself -

Here goes:

then there is:

then there is this one:

Y'all see M working really hard to welcome us all to CA?



Where is M? Did she go MIA?

As for Baltic - My oh MY would I love to go.

May have to make provisions for that one.

I think that the meltdown award goes to the little blonde boy who must have been 7 or so. He had a little sister with short, thinning blonde hair. One day I was in Shutters talking with Todd and another DISer [sorry I forget who, I only met you once] and behind me I could tell that something major had happened. It sounded like someone was being slaughtered. The looks on their faces told me not to turn around. Apparently the two kids did something to each other and it resulted in the worst meltdown that I have ever seen. When I did turn around the mother was carrying the boy out of Shutter's horizontally with all limbs flailing. People were getting out of the way to avoid connecting with one of them.

I'm glad that you decided to participate anyway. It was good meeting you on the cruise!
