Hey Yonkrs_Girl,

Can you please add us to the Fish extender list? We wouldn't miss it for the world!! Our stateroom number is 5510.

We will be making a 14 day road trip across the south (GA, SC, NC & TN) before our cruise, so I hope we'll be able to get cool things to put into everybody's fish extenders.


Take care

Dennis

Hi all!
We have been booked on this cruise since we cruised in April. I have been lurking on here since we came back. I wasn't sure if we would be able to swing doing another cruise within 2 years of each other. My husband was potentially going on strike with work and we just didn't know what to do. So, two pixie dust dreams fell on us Friday-his union has negotiated a contract AND I was notified that I won $3500.00 in a sweepstakes that I had entered! SO-we are going!!!! We would LOVE to participate in the FE. We are going to be in cabins- 6612 and 6614..
Our crew consists of:
DD-11(Hannah)
DH (Mark) and myself (Karen) my birthday is the day we arrive back in port.
and DM (Linda)-who's 74th birthday is the day that we sail!!.
Can't wait to meet you all and I am so excited to be going again.
Karen

congrats....

Thank you! I can't tell you what a blessing this past week has been. Our first cruise that we took in April was something that we had planned and saved for 3 years. My DD has Cerebral Palsy and is mildly mentally handicapped, so this cruise was for her. Well, 3 weeks before we were to sail-she broke her leg!! But, with the help of my friends I chatted with on the dis and with the invention of water-proof casting, we went anyway. NEVER, ever would I wish that on anyone. She was so excited to be there, but, she couldn't figure out how to use the walker, didn't want to get wet. AND, to top it off, my DM fell on formal night and banged her knee up. So, we ended up with 2 wheelchairs on St. Maarten. But, we loved the whole atmosphere of it that we knew we would be back!! I am more excited about this trip now than I think I was on the first one. I just have to put bubble wrap on everyone and face masks for the next 11 months.. HAHAHA

Hey Karen,

Welcome aboard!! As I always say, "the more people the more fun"

Hope we all will have a great time during our September cruise.

Take care,

Dennis

Since I know many of you are planning to decorate your cabin doors during our Sept cruise, I thought I would post a couple of pictures of our decorated cabin doors during our last cruise on the "Wonder" (Sept, 2008)

Enjoy them!!

 

[michelle9343]

Excellent door decorations Thanks for sharing them!!!!!
I always forget to take a picture on our door.

Well, tonight is the night that we see if we are cancelling this half of our B2B to change it to the Westbound Trans Atlantic Cruise in 2010!!!!

 

[gwtinkerbell427]

Cant Wait to decorate our cabin door. This will be the 1st time doing this as I was unaware on all my last cruise's.I am planning to have realy cute things on the door and am working on getting things together. Cant wait to the cruise.

Hey Stacy!

What happened? did you finally book the Trans Atlantic cruise? or you are still sailing with us.

I was certainly planning to book the Northern Capitals for 2010, but I got a quote of $12000 for A cat 8, plus the flights . I guess I could afford it, but I'm not willing to spend about $18000 on our 2010 Vacation. Maybe a b2b would be cheaper, so I will check out.

Hope you had better luck.

YES!! I did book.. DCL was crazzzzzzzzzzzzy today.. 167 Minute wait time when I called at 11am.. But we are booked in a Cat 3 for the TA Westbound

Right now, we do still have the B2B booked as well.. DH & I will discuss it when he gets home from work.. Not sure if we are leaving as is for now or transferring.. It is far enough away that we can hold on to it and decide later if we keep it a B2B or just do the 1st leg of it..

Congrats!!!

I was wondering if we happen to have a 'name' for ourselves for this cruise yet? I am thinking about my FE gifts and was trying to get some ideas of personalization and such. I am a bit on the anal compulsive side of planning ahead. I also wanted to surprise my DM with her own FE as a Christmas gift, even though she will have NO IDEA what to do with it!! It will probably end up in her bathroom, being used for storage of her unmentionables.

We are now NOT doing the 14 day TA WB in a Suite Instead... we are doing the 11 day Southern Caribbean for Christmas

Hello everyone!!! We just walked in the door tonight from a fun vacation on the Magic, and one of the first things I did was check here for our next cruise meet group!!

Soooooooooooooo sorry... Added you!!!! Didn't mean to leave you off..

 

[dennismcneely]

That's our room!!! LOL Your door look great.

Thanks LoriS,

We are going to neighbors then, we had the 5512 on the Wonder in Sept 2008 we loved the location of the cabin (very quiet hallway). Since SOMEONE had already booked that stateroom for our Sept 2009 on the Magic, we got the 5510 which was my wife's sister cabin.

 

[dennismcneely]

Hey Yonkrs_Girl,

Can you please add us to the Fish extender list? We wouldn't miss it for the world!! Our stateroom number is 5510.

We will be making a 14 day road trip across the south (GA, SC, NC & TN) before our cruise, so I hope we'll be able to get cool things to put into everybody's fish extenders.


Take care
