Any 10-16-04 cruisers yet?

[Denine]

It's me again. I love it when the girls dress up in their princess costumes. It is so cute. We have been on 5 Disney cruises and it is done all the time. DD who will be 2 on the cruise is bringing hers. I, of course, do have MY princess Aurora tiara.
I will be dressing up like a princess, at least as much as I can.

Has anyone looked into the Romance at sea package?

I will just be happy to drop Miss Kaleigh off at Flounders so we can go to Palo.

It's getting closer!

Hi Denine,

We booked the Romance at Sea package. Not that I really want any romance but the rest of it looks good . One of the other couples that are going with us also booked one. It sounds like it's worth the money. Actually....for me not to have to stress about Palo reservations is worth it alone. Last year I had nightmares about getting them. Last year I was a little nutty about the whole trip. I am a tad bit better this time. At least I think I am .

And, WldWcnWmn, you can bet your sweet bippy (my God, I haven't said that since the 60's....what the heck is a bippy anyway?) that there will be a blender on board!

Talk to all you Princesses later....Denise

Lot of action on the board lately. And, I love to be part of the action.

We are gonna book the romance package too. Someone did a whole write up on one of the threads with pictures too. It looked really good. I am wondering if the package comes with a young, virile, rich stud. Ohhhhh, don't get me wrong. My husband is all those things and more (coughs uncontrolllably) but I think he might like to watch a baseball game. Will check the brochure on who is included.

Kids are in camp today. They have 11 more days off for Spring Break. HELP ME!!!!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!! SOMEONE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!

 

[tevagirl]

A. It doesn't come with the stud....I already asked.

B. How many days off do your kids get for spring break if they still have 11 left? Geez.

 

[Denine]

We've never had a problem getting Palo or brunch ressies, but we didn't have to make flounder's ressies either. How much romance could there be with a 2 year old in the room? I would love a massage. I already plan on getting a facial. If I booked it, I thought I might surprise DH since it will be our anniversary.

Can I have spring break too?????????

 

[WldWcnWmn]

Mekayla has decided she likes the purple bouncy thingy.... .... have you guys decided on where the princess reunion/meet and greet should be? I think all of us should have a little social of our own at the sail away party! We bought some really neat confetti for the party?!?!? Any takers?

 

[tevagirl]

Sounds like a good idea to me. We would all get to wear our princess hats!

 

[okwmeister]

Another MIA is back!

Denine: Christy and I are also looking into the romance package (it will be our 25th anniversary.......in fact, Jeff and Nancy are also celebrating the big 25!!) This could be quite the cruise!!!

I just hope I don't hear my name on the PA the time as the ship pulls from port (last year my card must not have registered as I re-boarded the ship in Cozumel and rumor had it that I was still jamming at Carlos and charlies...

Nancy: How are things going? Have you booked flights yet? Time to start the planning for another Minnesota cruise meet soon.

We booked Vero for one night after the cruise so don't have to rush to the airport (stretch the vacation out as long as possible).


Happy Easter all!

Doug

 

[corrybaybe]

count me in I can't wait to wear my princess hat. I was also at the dollar store and found princess wands. I think I am over the edge!!!!All you need is 2aa batteries and your ready to go. I think the sail away party would be the perfect place for the meet/greet.

 

[WldWcnWmn]

Dollar Store huh? Great, I'm there! We are looking at all kinds of neat stuff for the cruise. Did you guys check out the paint chips at Home Depot? I know everyone already knows about them, but I just "found" them and they look like good door sign material to me! I am going to be broke before I even get my foot on the pier!

Oh well, half of the fun (maybe a third of it ) is the planning!!

I know passports aren't required, but is it worth having one? They are so spendy, but if it saves a lot of time and hassle I would consider it, do you other princesses have them? Thanks for letting me know.

 

[WldWcnWmn]

Back on page 21 didn't we all agree we were under 200 days? I just read my last post and I am in the 200's again. Is the clock moving backwards? I am not mentally stable enough to handle a set back! Wassup?

 

[tevagirl]

We won't be getting passports. We didn't have them last year and we didn't have any problems or delays. And, yes, I do believe you must be trippin' !

 

[Denine]

Doug: I never heard your name announced. That is funny! It will be number 13 for us.

We do have passports.

A meet at the sailaway sounds good to me.

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!

Hi to all.

Doug,

All is well here. Wow 25 years for you and Christy too. We will have to look into the romance package. We have not booked our flights yet been checking everyday but not much under $300.00. Have you found any good deals? Matt has also been looking.

Vero Beach is a great idea. How far is that from the port? We are still not quite sure what day we are coming back. We are also going to WDW first week of December. Got a great deal from Sun Country at $134 round trip because we had 12 people.

Tell Christy she inspired me with painting the walls in the house with a little Disney magic after the visit to your house. Now the kitchen has little red mickeys with stars and the words to "When you wish upon a Star" on the walls. The kids say it fits me fine. I am still not brave enough to do the large paintings like Christy, so I will just stick to the simple stuff. Also Lia is now into scrap booking so she can hang out with Christy and Karol if they do any on the cruise.

Alisa is in traveling soccer and has been practicing since January. Lia is going to intern at our business this summer and go to school so she can take the fall semester off just to go on the cruise and our December trip. She is 21 and still wants to be around the mouse.

FYI - The commercial that was shot at our house last fall is now on the internet at Sunsetter.com. If you click on the information video, our house is the one with the host talking at it.

We are up for a pre-cruise meeting. There is another family in Mendota Heights "GeneralMax" booked for this cruise also. Haven't seen her on the board for a while but would be great to invite them also. After all we would still be strangers if it weren't for these boards.

Tell your family Hi and we will have to pre-plan our next Minnesota pre-cruise meet.

Are we going to plan on a Palo's brunch again??? Matt what do you think?

Happy Easter & Happy Spring to all of our fellow cruisers.

Nancy

Denine:

I was on this thread at the wee beginning but since then I got derailed a bit. Say Hi to Jerry and Kaleigh!! Can't wait to meet your little princess!

We have group photos from our first two cruises in our scrapbooks. I notice that Paul is going on the 10 day christmas cruise and Beano is cruising the western the week after we return.

It's that time of year when I need some cruise therapy real bad!

Hello All,
I have been absent for some time, busy at work and we just returned from our first trip to Hawaii. I accomplished my vacation goal of not rebooking while I was there...I think I deserve quite a bit of praise for this, my DH doesn't...see if I book the REAS package !!! Last time I was on this thread there were lots of promises of Baileys and coffee, now I hear a blender is going to be on board ? How good can life be ? What do I need to contribute ? We are driving from Orlando, so will be making a stop for provisions. While we were on a whale watching cruise in Hawaii I heard great things about the Dubloon Sail and Snorkel excursion from another DCL person...we won't be doing that one, DH will do the scuba dive, and DS and myself will do the beach days...but the woman I talked to could not say enough good things about this excursion. See you all in 185 days !!!

 

[Denine]

I could use a cruise right now too. Luckily we are going to WDW soon. I need some warm temperatures and sunshine!

We saw Paul & Pam at Halloween in WDW and they said they were going on the 10 day Christmas cruise. That sounds like a lot of fun! Some people with cruised with 2 years ago will be on the cruise with Beano.

We are thinking of buiding a new home so we start painting tonight. It needs to be done if we move or not.

Can't wait to see some of you again and meet the rest of you!

 

[Mickey02]

Good Morning

I have not posted much since the beginning of the thread.
I am hoping to meet some of you on the cruise.

Any plans for a meeting place??

Just wondering if any of you can recommend some good shore excursions. We did a 10 night cruise with RCCL in Feb 2002 which included all the same ports (except of course Coco Cay). We did the stingrays in Grand Cayman and Xcaret in Cozumel. Didn't really care much for Key West but we had 2 sick kids in strollers that day which I'm sure didn't help. I had been thinking one of the kyaking (sp?) trips might be good. Any input much appreciated.

[tevagirl]

Sorry, Libby, I can't answer your question....just wanted to get the board back to page one.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!
