Any 10-16-04 cruisers yet?

Welcome Cavecats.

 

[wide awake]

OK, call me stupid. I just reserved a car with Happy Limo, my reasoning being that with the bad publicity they had after the hurricanes they would try extra hard to be perfect. Now I'm nervous...

Welcome Cavecats !

 

[Cavecats]

Thanks all for the warm welcome.

Just to let you know I'm Cathy and my Mom is Barbara and we will be the crazy ones parasailing at Castaway Cay (that is after we come back from snorkeling).


My Mother, a septuagenarian, still likes to chase Mickey, and I,
in my late thirties for at least the past 6 years still likes to get a little "goofy" when hubby's not around. We are Canadians, (I'm the one that has the maple leaf tatooed on my ankle, so search me out....lol

Looking forward to this trip.

Cathy aka Cavecat

Cavecat welcome aboard!!!

Julie thanks for the cruise list.


Well its really getting close now. OK let me ask how many of you get really dressed up for dinner? I know formal night is one thing,how about the other nights? And I'm thinking just shorts and tees for the day I wanted to start packing so I am not waithing till the last minute. Any and all help will be great and if you could addin for the kids that would be great too.



Thanks

Peg: Everyone is different for dinner. We dress to the 9's for formal and semi-formal night. We do the same for Palo night. The rest of the nights we still dress up, but not as much. Me in a dress and Jerry in a shirt and tie, except for tropical/pirate night. Kaleigh will be dressed up too. She has a lime green outfit for sail away. Shorts and tees for the day is perfect.

I am up for a sail away meet.

I am up for a bushwackers meet.

I am up for plain old meat.

Wide Awake: You will have to post your experiences with Happy Limo after you use them.

We leave 1 week from today!!!!!!

Corrybaybe-

We'll be dressed up for formal night but as far as the rest of the cruise it will be capris and nice tops for me. We will also probably be somewhat dressed up for semi-formal too but not as much as formal night.

See you all Dis Boarders on the ship. We leave for the MK tomorrow! YEAH!!!!!!!!

DH and DS will be wearing black suits and I'll be wearing a floor length gown on formal night. DH and DS - nice pants, button down shirts and ties; me - your typical LBD (little black dress) for semi-formal. On casual nights DH and DS - docker type pants and polos; me - capris & nice tops or pants & blouse. During the day we'll all be wearing shorts and tees.

 

[wide awake]

DH and DS will wear tuxes on formal and semi-formal nights...DS is 14 and growing like a weed, couldn't see buying him dress clothes that he wouldn't wear again. I have a long dress for formal night and 2 other dresses, black slacks and silk blouses for 2 other nights, and capri pants and blouse for the first night. I've ordered pirate costumes for all of us for pirate night...

Denine, I was thinking of telling Happy Limo I was posting the whole experience....but then I thought they'd take it as a threat. If they don't show up is it possible to buy Disney transfers at the last minute ? I would have gone with the transfers in the first place but we are cutting it close on time and I didn't want to run around with all our bags looking for the Southwest check-in.

 

[tiggerfantoo]

DH and DS will wear black suits for formal and semi-formal nights. I will be wearing a floor-length gown. On other nights, DH and DS will wear dockers and polo shirts. I will be wearing casual floor-length dresses. I think the other people in my party will be wearing the same kind of clothes.

I will start packing this weekend. I am taking so much non-clothing stuff that I am not sure how much room I will have in my luggage for clothes. I always pack so much more than I need when I go on vacation. Oh well . . . just as long as I save some room for souveniers!

My DS had a question . . . if he buys alot of toys, etc., onboard for his daughter, will DCL ship it home for him? I think they will do it at WDW but didn't know if they would from the ship.

[tevagirl]

Bye, Julebobo

Thanks for taking the bags for us. I hope Captain Morgan behaves himself! Have a safe trip. I'll call you when we land and see you at the airport. Will you be holding up a sign that says "the Marchina Family"? I would really like it if you would. (It makes me feel important) I would also like to get lei'd.
Tell Bob not to drop anymore suitcases on his toes. He has to be able to stand up to make our volcanoes!

 

[Lisa62064]

That Captain Morgan is such a bad influence, isn't he?

Lisa <------ after the Captain gets ahold of me!

 

[Denine]

wideawake: I do believe that you can get on the DCL transportation at the last minute. You still have vouchers in your docs.

Safe and happy traveling to those leaving us already! We will see you on board!

 

[joedadof3]

GO RED SOX !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LIFE IS GOOD, FIRST THE CRUISE IN A WEEK AND NOW THE RED SOX MOVIN ON...... FORGET THE WINE PARTY ..BRING ON THE CHAMPAGNE!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[tevagirl]

So, Joedadof3, let me take a wild guess.......Red Sox fan, are you?
I am so smart I scare myself sometimes.

Well, we leave on Tuesday. I have lots of packing to do this weekend. Our hearts are not really in this any more. We have some absolutely horrible things going on in our family right now and the last few days have been the worst. But we need to take this vacation as there will be even worse days ahead of us.

Anyway...to everyone who is leaving in the next few day....stay safe.

Talk to you later,
Denise

 

[wide awake]

Thnak-you Denine...I can relax a little.

Tevagirl...whatever is going on hope you can relax and enjoy the cruise.

I am starting to feel as if we'll be the last ones at home...we're not leaving till Friday at 11 am...the garage called and told me that DH's truck looked as if it had been hit by a train, and no, they couldn't fix it. That was a shocker...one of the tires is attached on its side, DH couldn't even take out a CD because the dash was bent so bad. I can spend the next few days arguing with the insurance company on the value of the truck...WHEN IS THAT WINE PARTY ???

My mom is flying in tomorrow, I can't wait. So I guess our vacation is sort of starting tomorrow.

 

[Zandy595]

wide awake ~ I'm pretty sure my family will be the last ones leaving for the cruise. I hope to have everyone (caravan of 3 cars) on the road around 8am next Saturday. That should get us to the port between 10 and 10:30am. BIL, SIL, DN and SIL's DM are arriving from NY next Thursday. FIL, MIL and GMIL are arriving from NY next Friday. They had to switch hotels because the hurricanes blew the roof off the one where they had reservations. Everything's good though.


Denise ~ I'm sorry for your family troubles. I hope you'll be able to enjoy the cruise and take a break from reality for a little while at least.

 

[BeanoC]

Hi Denine!!

I just wanted to chime in on your thread and say have a fantastic time and we'll be thinking of you and Jerry! Make sure you leave the Magic intact for us!


(We have cruised with Jerry and Denine twice before on the Magic, and will be on the week after you all this year).

Hugs and Kisses to Kayleigh from us!!

Have a magical time!!

Wide Awake if someone hit your husband get your insurance agent involved its amazing what they can make happen for you. They know all the tricks, and they will get you the best settlement possiable.
