[cruisin'Mike]

Hi, we're joining you on the 17 Aug, me my ds 16 and dd 14. Got a message from my TA to say some spaces have opened up for PC, so have switched from 10 Aug as this is what we really wanted - I've now got to rearrange flights as I'd only just booked them for the west coast cruise.

That's great! Welcome aboard!

 

[Skallywag]

Just wonder if anyone knows how many rooms opened up and has anyone got a stateroom assignment yet who was gty?

 

[tom31b]

We too take the

I figure that it will at least burn off all that . The only other time to take the elevator is for my first cup of coffee. Most of the time I don't mind walking but you have to figure that 15 nights of partying is going to take its toll in the morning.

There's going to be partying on the boat?

WELCOME!

Please have some cake & join us in chat on Friday nights in room 2! It goes a little fast & sometimes there are 5 conversations going on at once, but just jump in when you can!

I managed to snag a 9 at a great savings over the 6 we had, so I am REALLY happy!

Yeah glad it worked out for you Lorri!

gosh , darn..i sure hope....we don't have snow..on dec. 22,...when we're
flying out... , * we got caught in a blizzard in 2003, right before the
virgina mountains range..& 2002, we had to drive thru a snow storm..& just
made final boarding....

Wishing you save travels LG! I hate to fly & especially hate to fly in the winter. If they have to de-ice my plane before it can fly....!

Really, from DC to Boston, just one big metropolis with differing accents

Aint it the truth!

I could have booked again, prices up though.

15-NIGHT EASTBOUND PANAMA CRUISE
August 17-September 1, 2008
(Ship: Disney Magic)
Stateroom: 2 Adults and 2 Children (Ages)
Cruise Price: $ 10,259.16

Andrew is this what you were just quoted for a cat. 4? I hope not because we got in within the first 10 mins. at opening bell & that's just about $600 more than what we were quoted for a cat. 6!

Just wonder if anyone knows how many rooms opened up and has anyone got a stateroom assignment yet who was gty?

Good question! You would think some might've been assigned, but I doubt it! Do you have a gty?

Anyway just adding a groundhog to celebrate the most asked pirate question of this thread! It's tradition!

I can't wait till rooms get assigned...that will be an interesting day to see if everyone ends up where they wanted. Hope so!

 

[tom31b]

Interesting that the rooms available were only in the lower categories. I guess this means that they are still full at the upper categories under the theory that they wouldn't upgrade Tier 1 passengers when they could sell the higher category at Tier III pricing.

Guess no hope for any free upgrades?

 

[Verandah Man]

Just dropping by to say.............Hello Everyone........

 

[Diznyfan68]

Lorri looks like you will be joining M, Crash and myself on deck 2.

I'll be in good company!

I know some rooms have been assigned here and there, but I really don't expect any room assignments until much closer to the sail date, after everyone is paid in full.

Hi, we're joining you on the 17 Aug, me my ds 16 and dd 14.

Welcome to our new pirates!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have a 14yo DD too!!! Some of our teens have already exchanged e-mails if you want them to cyber-meet beforehand.

It's alot of fun in here

I don't even drive much & its a pain in the add. I drive 6 miles to the Metro station.

I know....tell me about it

I used to only drive 2 miles to work in g-burg and it would take over a hour sometimes to get there.

Living/working out here was the best thing i could have done for my state of sanity.

Good question! You would think some might've been assigned, but I doubt it! Do you have a gty?

I paid about $11k for the Cat 4 on the Panama cruise that includes familiy insurance as well, I refered to the Cat 10 price and thats very close to the Cat 4 price I paid so prices well up.

WOW


There are cabins available for our cruise

Category 07 : Deluxe Stateroom w/ Navigators Verandah $ 7,967.58

Category 08 : Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom $ 7,067.58

Category 09 : Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom $ 6,567.58

Category 10 : Deluxe Inside Stateroom $ 5,567.58


I clicked through on a Cat 10 to see if there were cabin numbers, but it was just GTY

Whoa! My cat 9 is 2 grand more than I booked at!

Lorri looks like you will be joining M, Crash and myself on deck 2.

Hey! Don't forget me! We are on 2 too!

It's not stealing if I let you take it! Pillage away!
Have a great trip.


I don't even drive much & its a pain in the add. I drive 6 miles to the Metro station. The problem is that the schools are closed, but work isn't and there are about 2x the people on the stupid Metro when it rains/snows.

Oh and all the parking spots are taken by 8 am, so now I have to pay an extra $45/month for a reserved spot. Now it costs me more than $10/day just to get to work (not including car expenses). I live 15 miles from work, but it was cheaper to drive my big ol' SUV 40 miles to work in Alaska.

Thanks. I'm a polite
That use to happen when I rode our pathic bus system here too. I've driven for the past year and now I get to put up with the idiots who have short term memory loss every time it snows! Hello people it's Michigan, it snows!

I agree with Jr.

Somebody hold me. I'm scared.

(so I can't figure out caps on my crackberry )

Be afraid. Be very afraid! I think you need to be quarantined until the illness passes!

Just watch out for Cheryl, ever since she learned to multi-post and to post images... yikes


(kidding Cheryl, kidding)

Cheryl really is a sweety

Tom do you need a time out?

I'll be in good company!

There will be a lot of us.

It's alot of fun in here

Yep! We are a fun lot. Hey when are the pillow fights?

Well I'll miss chat tonight as I drive down to Cleveland. Hope the weather stays OK. I love the lake effect snow. Nothing like driving through a white out!

Found this on the Community Board and LOVE it
Here's the link to the thread

Black and White
(Under age 40? You won't understand.)

You could hardly see for all the snow,
Spread the rabbit ears as far as they go.
Pull a chair up to the TV set,
"Good Night, David. Good Night, Chet."

My Mom used to cut chicken, chop eggs and spread mayo on the same cutting board with the same knife and no bleach, but we didn't seem to get food poisoning.

My Mom used to defrost hamburger on the counter AND I used to eat it raw sometimes, too. Our school sandwiches were wrapped in wax paper in a brown paper bag, not in ice-pack coolers, but I can't remember getting e.coli.

Almost all of us would have rather gone swimming in the lake instead of a pristine pool (talk about boring), no beach closures then.

The term cell phone would have conjured up a phone in a jail cell, and a pager was the school PA system.

We all took gym, not PE ... and risked permanent injury with a pair of high top Ked's (only worn in gym) instead of having cross-training athletic shoes with air cushion soles and built in light reflectors. I can't recall any injuries but they must have happened because they tell us how much safer we are now.

Flunking gym was not an option . even for stupid kids! I guess PE must be much harder than gym.

Speaking of school, we all said prayers and sang the national anthem, and staying in detention after school caught all sorts of negative attention.

We must have had horribly damaged psyches. What an archaic health system we had then. Remember school nurses? Ours wore a hat and everything.

I thought that I was supposed to accomplish something before I was allowed to be proud of myself.

I just can't recall how bored we were without computers, Play Station, Nintendo, X-box or 270 digital TV cable stations.

Oh yeah ... and where was the Benadryl and sterilization kit when I got that bee sting? I could have been killed!

We played 'king of the hill' on piles of gravel left on vacant construction sites, and when we got hurt, Mom pulled out the 48-cent bottle of Mercurochrome (kids liked it better because it didn't sting like iodine did) and then we got our butt spanked.

Now it's a trip to the emergency room, followed by a 10-day dose of a $49 bottle of antibiotics, and then Mom calls the attorney to sue the contractor for leaving a horribly vicious pile of gravel where it was such a threat.

We didn't act up at the neighbor's house either because if we did, we got our butt spanked there and then we got butt spanked again when we got home.

I recall Donny Reynolds from next door coming over and doing his tricks on the front stoop, just before he fell off. Little did his Mom know that she could have owned our house. Instead, she picked him up and swatted him for being such a goof. It was a neighborhood run amuck.

To top it off, not a single person I knew had ever been told that they were from a dysfunctional family. How could we possibly have known that?

We needed to get into group therapy and anger management classes? We were obviously so duped by so many societal ills that we didn't even notice that the entire country wasn't taking Prozac! How did we ever survive?

LOVE TO ALL OF US WHO SHARED THIS ERA, AND TO ALL WHO DIDN'T; SORRY FOR WHAT YOU MISSED. I WOULDN'T TRADE IT FOR ANYTHING.​
