9/26/2010 Breezin' to the Bahamas!

[Husurdady]

Hey guys! Yes we finally got to Castaway Cay but Victoria was sick so we only were out for about 30 minutes. It is really nice and I hope to see more of it when I go back. Not sure when that will be but I have 2 cruises booked which I will use as dummy cruises until I know the best time of year I can leave my business. It was so much fun meeting you all! Husurdady....dear, I didnt have your room number and I never saw you again on the boat!!

You could not find me...HUH.... Monday night, I was the one wearing the white shirt ,black tie and my "DA-BEARS" cap. Say JEN, why don't you take one of those "dummy" cruises and call up DCL and book with all of us 9/25/2011. So far there is 8 familys booked for that date[go-2-that board].I just looked up for you [the 4-of-U-guys] can get a cat 5-E with a "V" for under 22 hundred with your 10% dis. Come on and go with us.I was telling The Goofy Bunch [early on this page] that we should name the cruise Breezin to the Bahama's PART TWO. P S how did Victoria like those FLIP-FLOPS? And I still want my $70.00 ICE CREAM CONE FROM SCOOPS.......U-O-ME-GIRL.

TOMMIE-JO and BILL............How about the " 21 st " on the DREAM on 9/25/2011??????? So far there are 8 familys going. P S and MIMI & MACK are saving seats at pool side.

 

[Webmiester]

Yeah, wow, what was up with the love bugs? On the 9/30 3 day our verandah was covered in those things...it was pretty nasty.

Definitely saving seats! I mean, who? Us? WE wouldn't save seats; it would violate the rules.

On the ship, they were on your verandah????? Please say it isn't so! If I have to put up with those things on the ship, I'll be sorry we're paying for a verandah. They were awful at Coronado Springs.

 

[Webmiester]

Yeah so on the 3 day we upgraded to Mark and shadow's room since it was available....has a huuuuge deck as you can see from Mark's pictures. Well, needless to say that when we unpacked our bags the deck was clean and awesome....by the time we got back from the fire drill, it was covered in lovebugs.
I ran into Johnny the stateroom dude and let him know. When we came back from dinner, he had hosed it off but apparently there were a few dozen hidden about. We also picked up a few dragonflies.
We weren't alone...when I was enjoying my evening cigar on deck 5 stbd, there were tons of them there as well.

By the time we stopped in Nassau, the bugs were mostly gone....however by the time we'd left, we had picked up a whole bunch of really pretty (but annoying) finches. They were all over the lifeboats outside on deck 5 and a few were flying around on our verandah/deck.

We didn't let it stop us from enjoying the amazing view backing into and pulling out of port. It was absolutely mind blowing!

It was! I was fortunate enough to see it and I was blown away. The only down side to it was that it is a solid railing thingie (can't think of the word). Mom is so short she couldnt see when she was sitting down. I have to admit, it was nice to be able to look down at the humongous 14 ft waves. bleck

For some reason, I really didnt get out of my stateroom that much> I wanted to do so much and thought we would be closing the ship down every night but Victoria didnt take to the lab as well as I thought she would and we were exhausted by 10. Mom swore we would never go cruising during hurricane season again! LOL

It will mainly depend on how quickly we can recover from the orders we put off and made while we were away. If we catch up pretty quickly, we just might go again.

I have two cruises booked for april but I am really not wanting to go back that soon. So I will move it. I just wonder about a 7 day. Doesnt anyone want to go on a 7 day cruise instead?

I would LOVE a Breezin to the Bahamas part 2!!!

 

[cshelzy]

we are going 11/26/11 feel free to join us
4 days was not long enough for us
our kids loved the clubs(shocked me) thats not who they are but we are glad

Hey Shelly! Victoria didn't take to it as I thought she was! It was like she was bored or something. I kept saying "they are having the cooking class!" and she would say "nahhh I would rather be with you" which is just wonderful for me. It wasn't like I was doing anything else. I was just shocked because she is SUCH a social butterfly. After her and Dillon became friends, she would only go in there when he was in there.

Sure - I'd love a 7 day but there is that darn money thing......

Why 2 cruises in april? We booked a dummy in Dec.2011, and that one we will take our 7 day eastern cruise with in 2012 when the other new ship comes out. OH! the sept. 2011 cruise is now called ; SEPT. BREEZIN' on the DREAM..........nice name don't-U-think. I think it will be much cheaper to book a 7 day on the new ship for 2012 than the MAGIC in 2011. Kathy, myself and our daughter, Sarah our going on the DREAM in MAY 22, 2011, You guys are more then welcome to come with then.

MACK.....speaking of money, did you see [ on OCT. 5th] , DCL changed the deposit amount on new cruises, it was what.. 200.00 per person , now it is 20 % of the total cruise cost.We got it for half price last week, lucky we where.

Greeting and Welcome back all,

Priya and I had a wonderful time Breezin to the Bahamas with you all.
Speaking on her behalf she had "BIG FUN, BIG BIG FUN" as she has told everyone back at home.

First I wanted to say how helpful and thankful for this group I was during the cruise. Pre-meeting folks on here and with the help of the Facebook page, really proved to be invaluable. Outside of our Fairy God parents (The Macks) and everyone else who provided helpful information prior to the trip. Meeting some of you in the Port was such a great way to start the trip and such a huge help.
While standing in line for check in Priya was supposed to be looking at the model ship or watching the TV, but someone skipped off, when I went to look for her Shelly told me "Priya is over there". How great was that, that Shelly was able to spot her and know me by our facebook photo to help me locate her.

While standing in line I saw the most darling face that I have been seeing while on the dis-boards.... It was Victoria...it was like seeing a movie star, I thought oh my that is Victoria (I knew it was her by her dress and hat
Shortly after seeing Victoria, Jen spotted me and it was like we were long lost high school friends, we greeted each other and she introduced me to Victoria, and I introduced her to Priya....well lets just say after the introductions Victoria took Priya by the hand and skipped off to keep her company and play with her... (@Jen, Victoria will make a great big sister )

As most of you know the line was moving kind of slow and long at the Port, so while in line we ran into 3xthejoy and the triplets , Priya meet the girls and after warming up to each other they were all laughing and giggling.

Once on board Jen sent me a text inviting Priya and I to join them for lunch, it was so nice to be able to have lunch with some friendly faces. Jen your family was so kind and welcoming to Priya and myself. Priya enjoyed Victoria and when I tell you they were just like BFF's that had know each other. Victoria even shared her food off her plate with Priya or allowed Priya to nibble on her corn-dog nuggets (Jen tell Victoria, Priya normally will not just dive into someone else plate and eat ....she has better table manners than that...or so I thought . Anyway lunch was great

Oh my this is turning out much longer than I thought. This really started out as being a thank you to all of you who were so kind, generous and creative in your giving of FE gifts to Princess and the Mommy.

I really wanted to Thank each of you personally prior to leaving the ship but little miss excited got in each of her goody bags before I could see who it was from.

I have much more to say and share.... so stay tuned for part 2.... you will love to hear how smitten Priya became with Dillon . And who was trying to score a smoothie from the Teen Loft.... Along with more thanks and re-caps

To be continued....

Ok, Now, I hate to follow that post! I'm not quite so eloquent!!

BUT - I did want to hop on and say THANK YOU to each and everyone of you. I had so much fun on the cruise, even with the rockin' and a rollin' we were doing!

Both Dillon and Dakota had SO much fun on the cruise that I don't even think they noticed the rain and the waves!

The FE gifts were beyond my expectations. You all are so generous! It was such a great group of y'all on the ship. I felt like I was among friends wherever I went. I loved "bumping" into my DIS friends all over the ship!

The night at Wavebands will forever scar me I'll shy from any adult Scavenger Hunt forever more

Thank you again to all of you- you made the cruise magical for us!!

 

[TheGoofyBunch]

No, can't say AQUA DUCK real fast..........But, I can say WHITE HONDA VAN,w/ a window sticker. You guys made it home OK? with no Love bug???? I think we should name the cruise in 9/25/11 the Breezin' To The Bahama's PART TWO, with you guys joining on, I think their is four familys going now.Did you guys go to that page and join in yet? Did you guys stop at Disney on the way home.We stopped there one day and flew home Friday.

We went to the Food and Wine fest at Epcot. We joined the other fe group already. Looking to book another cruise for February.

Aww you are so sweet! Victoria LOVED Priya! She was just the most darling thing. Mom kept saying "she is just so smart. She sounds like she is 8. She is so grown up!" Victoria did not mind what so ever sharing her food. She probably told Priya to take the corn nuggets off her plate.

Yeah Dillon had a following! Victoria got to the point that she didnt do anything unless Dillon was doing it.

It was so much fun going with you guys! I do plan on doing it again, but I just cant seem to find a date that will work. We will definitely keep in touch and maybe do a reunion tour!!
