8/17/08 Captain Jack's Repossession Repo Cruise to PC thru TPC Part 8

[atakaratemom]

Just in comparison. I had a balcony cabin for 4 booked on the NCL Gem for 4/19/08 for $3700.00. A Cat. 6 on the Disney Magic for the same week priced out at $6100.00. Plus I can drive to NY & save about another $2,000.00. The NCL Gem will be brand new this November, has a family pool with a huge slide, bowling alley, Casino, & 10 restaurants to choose from every night, great food, & shows. On the NCL Dawn, they have a show called Bollywood with unbelievable acrobatics, costumes, music, etc. There is an all night cafe that serves burgers, wings, shepards pie, etc. The buffet restaurant even has a kid's buffet area serving kid's fare & has small tables. Very cute! We even got some pretty neat towel animals & chocolates every night.

Now the fact that you choose when & where you eat means you don't end up having the same rapport you do with your servers on DCL and NCL does not keep the kids during meal times. Just the fact that you get that Disney pixie dust feeling, Disney characters, or Disney shows can be worth paying significant more to some people. Okay just about everyone here, which is also why we canceled our inexpensive cruise to take our "trip of a lifetime" on a Magical cruise, but I've never had a bad time on any cruise we've taken whether it was NCL, RCCL, or DCL. A bad day on any cruise is better than a good day at home.

I totally agree! I love DCL best, but we have had great times on every cruise we've been on. I really liked NCL. We sailed on the Star to Alaska last summer and it was wonderful!

DW wanted me to ask if any single (adult) guys were coming along? DSIL will celebrate her 33rd birthday on 8/31 -- the last night of the cruise -- and DW is looking for someone to perhaps occupy her time (as opposed to fawning over DS)

Well I don't want to whine or anything, but my Monday sucked. DH & had a big argument & that upset the kids & I would go into it, but I don't think everybody needs or wants to hear all my dirty laundry. Wanna meet for a drink?

Sorry it was bad today Diane. Will a vodka martini do?

Some of their room look tiny!

Some maybe be tiny Paula, but the ones on the private deck are awesome! The have a balcony on one end and open like a back door onto the private deck with deck chairs, private pool & hot tub and a BUTLER! Now that sounds nice. Not as nice as of Trip Of A Lifetime of course, but a Butler...I could get used to that.......um James, peel me a grape!

Sorry Diane! Sounds like a rough day. Here's hoping tomorrow will be better for you!

Sure Pal, how's about a cyber drink? Yummy, mine's a Blue Hawaiian. Here's yours...it's called a Bloody Husband. It's similar to a Bloody Mary, except instead of Mary you add Husband and shake, shake, shake until you've removed the smug look off his face! Here have another Feeling better already? I thought so!


Sorry about the argument Di! It would be great if marriage and family was without conflict, but that could never be the case. Here's a big for you friend.

Thanks I'm loving that drink MR! Actually he just says the stupidist things sometimes. He's not mean or anything, but he just says things that he always has to turn around & say he didn't mean it the way I took it? Whatevaaaaah!!!

BTW how was your Monday? Can I move to denialville too? Sounds like a place where DH's can't make stupid statements!

Have you heard about the new pirate movie?


It's rated AARRRRGGH!

And you know why?


Because of all the booty!

If there are alot of NYers Paula it's because schools here doesn't start back until after Labor Day, so alot of our kids won't have to miss. Our three other DCL cruises at the end of August played out the same way. But for the record......us NYers get a bad rap......we're really okay people! (Even us NYers that now call NJ home!)

If the cruise was any other time of the year, we would not be able to go.

I would have loved to do the westbound, but that would interfere with regents reviews.

OOOH....that sounds really nice.

just thinking of that!

 

[allshookup]

Hey everyone thanks for the kind words & drinks! They really helped! What a nice bunch you all are!

 

[lbgraves]

I can not figure out how to do that. My neighbor sent me an email explaining it---I think I need to see it done. Great job!

Well, after doing a search & coming up blank last week I just clicked to open a new email. I clicked on the TO: under my email in the FROM: spot & it brings up a window with everyone in your address book to choose from. When you click on a name twice it automatically gets added to the TO: block. The last block showing was the BCC: I just clicked on the group name once then clicked on the BCC: and voila!

Choke, Choke, Choke.........
We have planned one dismeet for 1st day @3. No fun t-s***, no door signs, and no talk of blender parties..................
But there seems to be alot of availability in every cat. I posted earlier that I have 2 SPH rooms for 4 and it is $7132. (with ins no/tr) Which INMO is a little steep. One of the rooms we had booked on board so it was 10% off. Comparitively, I thought TPC repo was a deal!

You know Paula that does seem a little high, must be because it's Easter. If I compare it to our TOAL (Trip Of A Lifetime) we have 10% off each cabin. Cat 6 and Cat 11 total 10,013.00 (and we have $800 in OBC) and that's for two weeks. So really I guess I getting a bargain....Yeah Right This is of course why I had to cancel our NCL Dawn this August. That was $5,000. So in cancelling that one, I feel like the TOAL only cost $5,013. I told you it is fun living in Denialville!

Got it to Lisa! What the heck does BCC stand for?

We did similar math when we cancelled our anniversary trip for this summer. Of course I'll end up spending more than what we "saved" when I book our pre-TOAL stay at Disneyland.

I really want to do an Alaskan cruise one day!

Let's hope we can do one on DCL someday! It's an amazing place. Beauty beyond description.
