8/24 Roll Call!!

[appink]

Loveysmommy, We were given our cabin number by our TA. If you did not book through one you will get it with your travel docs.

Jillsatravelin, grannymary & whiskers welcome to the group. We are trying to come up with a way for all of us to meet at a certain time and place.

Celebrategoldens has come up with us wearing a certain color ribbon. Maybe purple or yellow. I know there is a verandah on one end of the 7th deck or we could meet by one of the pools. I'm sure we will come up with something by the time we go. Maybe we could all wear the same color tee-shirts.

Getting really excited.

Just got back from a Memorial Day Dog Show and see that we are doing the ribbon thing. I am likes Lovesmommy, I LOVE purple or yellow. I think one on the door is a good idea! Or maybe even computer signs that say "DIS BOARD" I hope there are more older kids coming, most of you sound like your kids are elementary or younger. I have a middle schooler and a high schooler. Gee, it is already past Memorial DAY!!! Hurray!!! Can't wait to cruise!!! We have about decided to just do excursions "on our own" We have been on a few cruises and some of the stuff is just not exactly what we want and is real expensive. We are thinking of doing Trunk Bay for snorkling. Anybody else got any good ideas for " on your own" trips????

If I missed anyone or made an error please let me know and I will adjust it. I just thought it would be nice to have a group list. If people add I will revise the list.

Purple or yellow ribbons sound like a good idea. We should decide where to meet.

If anyone wants their cabin numbers added to the list please let me know.

Impatiently waiting for August.

I'm SO excited - my travel agent just called to say that my final payment is due!!! YYYYIIIIPPPPEEE.....

Well... I'm not happy I have to shell out the $$$$, but it DOES mean that I'm much closer to my cruise!!

WHOO HOOO!!

Next step - booking those excursions!

 

[appink]

That's so exciting. That means ours should be calling soon too!!

I hate to wish the summer away but I just want the cruise date to get here.

 

[Celebrategoldens]

Thanks for making a list of all of us! Sure seems like we are going to have a crew from the boards. Hopefully, as we get closer, more people will pick up the boards.
Counting down to August 24!

Just wanted to give my room# 6052. My 7 year olds are getting soooooo excited about meeting all the other kids. I'm a bit worried about having the second seating though. Were on Calif time and that means were going to be eating dinner at 11pm our time! I just want them to be AWAKE and enjoying their meals not sleeping through them! Counting down the days...........

You're counting in the wrong direction! It means you'll be eating dinner between 5-6pm "your" time! So late seating is perfect for you!

You can put our cabin # on list..It's 8346. Thanks!

 

[KAMLEM]

Please add us!! Myself, DH, and 2 DD (ages 6 and 8). Right now we're in Room 8556 but on a wait list for a category 3. It's probably a long shot but I'm really hoping that someone cancels!

 

[appink]

Welcome, Kamlem and family. I will add you to our list.

 

[Whiskers]

Jill:
We're late dinner seating too with the boys DS5 and DS7. Also worried about the "sleeping through dinner"!! Have you given any thought to what excursions to do with your twins?

Anne: You were totally right, I was counting in the wrong direction. It looks like the second seating might be perfect for us! Thanks...........

Diane: I'm not sure which excursions were going to do yet. We were in Hawaii last October and the twins did great with snorkeling so I think we'll do some kind of beach/snorkel trip. Any thoughts or ideas? Jill

A few months ago someone named bizybea was supposed to be on this sailing in cabin 6080. I think it was just a couple of adults, no kids. have they checked in recently?

Sorry, you're not getting mine

Ducklite-

How far ahead did you book? I could not get a category 3 at all during the summer. I'd like to get one for 2003.

We booked about 18 months in advance, if not a little more. I changed my stateroom last year in the fall I think from 8048 to 8032, so there was at least one room still left then.

ducklite,

I remember seeing them in a while back somewhere but do not recall that they were on our cruise. bizybea if you are out there let us know so we can add you to the list.

Not a problem about listing your cabin. We will find you anyway. You can't hide from this group. HA! HA!
