Ahoy November 12th, 2009 Cruisers!!

[SCQ86]

I had totally forgot....I want to go to Nassau to gamble!

We went to Atlantis with the the guys on the trip....my son Mike wanted to gamble since he was old enough in Nassau....so of course Miss money bags had to go with him....yep he lost a whole $100 in about 5 minutes.....it was guys night out, but I finagled my way to the casino. Had to put on my men panties before I left the ship.

That's what I call a day to remember....a cup of joe from Starbutts (that's what Wendy and I call it....it's kind of like crack) and a little gambling.....

Sue - you just "crack" me up! PUN INTENDED!

This is the best way to pass the next 7 months and 30 days! Luv it!

This is going to be a fun group!
I'm sitting here looking through our pics from the last trip and can't believe i have to wait 243 more days to do it again!
Tom is thinking about going into Nassau now too....maybe I can be convinced. He is thinking about a quick trip over to Atlantis just to check it out a bit.

Did anyone do the Sail Away Party? Sue and I had front row action! I was able to get awesome shots of the characters. Note to self....get to Pirate Party earlier this time!

And don't forget about the seafood buffet this time! I can't believe I totally forgot about it!

So what dinner seating does everyone have? We took the late seating this time. Anyone interesting in linking ressies so we are all seated together? Won't they be happy to have to deal with one huge, loud, rowdy group!?
But I'll bet they will never have such a fun group again!

 

[Alice_on_WONDERland]

We have early dinner this time - if I would have known you had late we might have taken it. BUT, it just didn't seem like we had any time to do anything afterwards. How did you like early dinner this last trip?

Seafood buffet?! What? Where? When? I don't remember hearing/reading anything about it! Fill me in sister!

We never even made it to the Pirate Party! We were so sunburnt and exhausted after our day on CC that we had our dinner from AP brought down to our room, ate, and crashed. Didn't even get to see the fireworks. We will definately have to plan for it this time!

 

[anetnmike]

we have early dinner as well
we were so tired on party nite that DS was like a little zombie
we watched fireworks and headed to bed as we had done CC that whole day and were happily sleepy
we never saw the buffet either - I guess it was on the other side of the ship (we were on starboard) the deck was pretty crowded with partygoers

Ok Sue and Alice...obvious question coming. Sue...what are "men panties".. .and Alice...why does that "crack" you up?? I can't wait to hear this! Also...what's the gambling age in Nassau?

We're going to stay on the ship. There's nothing really at Atlantis or in town that we wanna see or do. On past cruises we've done the Dolphin excursion, walked around town shopping and done the Pirate Museum. We also stayed on the ship once and liked it so much.....we're going to do it again!

We have early dining. It does cut into your day a little but we'd rather eat early. I wish they would pick another day to do the Pirate Party because after a day of sun, fun and drinking on Castaway Cay...dinner, then party and huge buffet are just too much. I'm usually beat after dinner but we've done the party and stayed up to watch Curse of the Black Pearl in the past.... just would be a lot easier if it was the night we leave Nassau!

I think we're all in agreement that DCL should change the Pirate Party to Nassau night! I'll put that down on the comment card next time!

mem22 - Sue is to Starbucks as what an addict is to crack!

Hi everybody. I'm Alice_on_WONDERland's DH. I'm writing because she made me...

 

[mem22]

Alice....I'm such an idiot! After I posted my wife Laura (ljm23) pointed all that out to me! Sorry

I did write that on the survey card on our last cruise! Think they'll listen?? lol....

Mike

 

[Alice_on_WONDERland]

Hi everybody. I'm Alice_on_WONDERland's DH. I'm writing because she made me...

Oh the things he'll do for my love!

 

[anetnmike]

Alice, I am so jealous. I have yet to sweet talk my DH into posting!
He thinks I have DIS board addiction
He had a great time when we met everyone though!

 

[Alice_on_WONDERland]

Yeah, well I made him get a user ID because he's been lurking on these boards for months - I think it's time he stepped out of the shadows and showed himself!

Oh honey, you talk about addiction. I won't tell no lies. I am without a doubt ADDICTED to these boards and planning our trip. I think I need a 12-step program!

 

[anetnmike]

That would be for those who want to be cured! Why would I want that?
I am perfectly happy the way I am!

 

[ljm23]

Nothing wrong with a DIS addiction IMHO Gives us something positive to go to when every other way we look is doom and gloom!
My DH has come on full force to the boards He's the social one of the two of us. I'm enjoying all the chat though already on our November cruise. It'll be short but it'll be a blast.

 

[disneydarling07]

my DH is addicted to Mafia Wars from Facebook. So I highly doubt he will ever join us here.

Besides...I am making him a "Honey Do" list (yes another list...lol) for spring, so he won't have much time to chat anyway. Not if I have anything to say about it!

But I totally agree that the good stuff on this whole board does take you away from reality. Builds up the excitement every time!
I have to fix my countdown board.

We had early dining last trip. We all felt rushed through the whole day. It seemed like as soon as you finished lunch, it was time for dinner. We saw one of the shows after dinner and then went to bed. We almost missed the Pirate party cuz we were so tired. We thought the late dinner seating would be better, but it doesnt sound like it....

 

[disneydarling07]

I got the confirmation letter for our next cruise!
And I got the planning DVD for 2009- 2010...cuz inside it says "Welcome Aboard Crowe Family"! LOL
Another cool addition to the scrapbook!
And I got my first batch of cruise pics back today!!! The 1st 100 pics! I can start scrapping any time now...yeah right!

Just go the website and order one. It's the free planning DVD they always give away. When you put in your order info, they automatically personalized the letter for you.
