9/27/14, Returning to the Southern Caribbean

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Hi Kathy,

Glad we'll be sailing together; though, it won't be this November! You've booked the October sailing that you were thinking of?


-Anni

Hi Anni,

Well we didnt book October after all, instead we are booking an Oasis of the Seas in either October or November of 2013. We will book it next week.
We liked the idea of a new ship with 2 new ports for us and then this cruise with all new ports for us, plus I am on the Dream again the end of this month.

It will be great to meet you after all our bouncing around.

Just an idea.

Pirates take the Caribbean part Deux


since we're the second southern sailing.




-Anni

Ok we have one good name,
who else has an idea?

I am still thinking??
Once we get a selection I will list them and everyone can vote for their favorite name.
Then I will get us set up for a private FB page for those who want to post there too.

When we are closer to the cruise we will vote to see when we want to close it and if we have enough participating that we need to divide the group.

Hi Kathy - From my personal experience ... it's often best for the organizer to make decisions (pick a cut-off date) ... perhaps with input from others ... but no real need to vote. People generally do not agree all of the time, and it's almost impossible to make everyone happy. So, if someone is brave enough to volunteer to organize an event ... MORE POWER TO 'EM!

Hi all! I was on the Wonder when the new itins came out so I was waiting at the future cruises desk at 9 am on Feb 14 to book this! I got the last available 7A that is a partially obstructed veranda: 5632. At that moment there was only one other 7A left! These sailings will sell out quickly! We have two cabins with my DD and DSIL in a 9C on deck 2.

about us:

Number of adults / children in your group: 4 adults (two cabins)
Names of adults in your group: Karyn and Bob; Jillian and Michael
Ages of children in your party (at your discretion): none
General location of where you currently live: (subject to change over the next year+)Chicago area - Karyn, Central Illinois - Bob; Orlando - Jillian and Michael
Castaway Club Level: Gold for Jillian and I, Silver for the rest.
Disney Vacation Club owner?: Yes! Also since 1994

FE - maybe if the groups are small enough.

Would love to have a group rate for a hotel in San Juan!

Facebook - sure, but . . . it is difficult for those who don't have FB accounts.

Really looking forward to getting to know everyone!

Karyn

Welcome to all of you !!
Great to have more people join us.

If you decide you want to do the FE just let me know.
I think we will have enough people that most likely we will divide the group on this cruise to make it easier for everyone.

I know many are concerned about space in their luggage for gifts. Since we are all flying into Puerto Rico, everyone will have the same problems with luggage. Thats why I think everyone will probably want smaller groups for the FE on this cruise.

How ever we will put it to a vote later on and the majority will make the decision, it's not just up to me.

If most feel that is a better option I am happy to make the decisions about the FE. It makes no difference to me.

I have my 2 volunteers to be administrators on FB with me already.
So no need for anyone else to volunteer for that job.

Thank you, Stephanie and Steven.

Facebook - sure, but . . . it is difficult for those who don't have FB accounts.

Really looking forward to getting to know everyone!

- We picked up a NAV Verandah as well! Give FB a try ... it's not too hard to figure out ... and you don't have to use it for anything else. One advantage of FB is that the threads are kept in proper format ... conversations are not mixed among the others.


Enjoy!

That makes 4 of us on the EB PC Repo.

Woohoo! We have a few cruisers from the inaugural voyage to PR! Very exciting to be heading back! Wonder how many more might be added to the list.

As for the facebook page, I think its a good idea, but as others mentioned, I would like it if its a closed group page.

We would also like to participate in the fish extender!

food allergies...

Slightly off topic ... but on a recent Fantasy cruise, we had servers assigned to us in normal rotation (we did not request them, nor did we ever have them on a prior cruise). When the Server asked our table what type of service we would like (quick, fast, etc) ... we merely said, "EXCELLENT SERVICE is fine ... it's all up to you!" When they asked if anyone had food allergies ... I said I was allergic to BAD FOOD! I'm not sure they were expecting those responses ... but all was fine ... we let THEM set the pace, to make sure they were comfortable. Since it was not rushed ... we were fine. We were sometimes one of the last out of the restaurant ... but that was often at our own choosing ... not because of slow service. Of course, we were not served any bad food!
