Andy - I'd be sure to get you something special if you were on the Halloween cruise with us!!!!!

dzneprincess - I was a little confused about the room description too so I called the Radisson. They said that there is 2 king beds on the bedroom and a pull out couch in the other room. We also get a whirlpool tub in the bedroom that the kids can't wait to see!
Tessa would like to know if Taylor received her last email with her dance pictures. If not she will email her again.

Rae - Maybe this is a silly question, but is rock shrimp different from the kind of shrimp that one usually gets from a restaurant? I love shrimp too and am always looking to try something new.

Thanks for the Radisson tip I saved $20., got our ressies reduced to $109.. If you book online you can get the 2 king suite for $105 per night but you have to pay upfront.

Rock Shrimp look and taste like mini lobster tails, I have attached a photo of them from the Dixie Crossroads website. The best way to eat them is broiled.

Thanks Andy - now that Fidelio is back, I can officially go off the wagon!

I hope I am not double posting but my first post went away

Hope everyone is well

Ginger did I give you our stateroom numbers a few months ago or did I not? I can not remember. I am cruising with my 2 and 5 year old DS's, DM, DF, MIL and 2 Sisters. We have 2102 & 2103 and then a Category 11 on Deck 5 but I have to look up the #. We will be part of the T & T. I think I have the boys talked into the Captain Hook and Peter Pan but they got the new Disney catalog and want to be Nemo and Bruce.

If you all have seen the catalog and Nemo costumes you will understand and there I was trying to explain to a 5 year old why that HUGE fish costume won't fit in the suitcases

I also booked the Radisson for $99 a few months back when we started this thread with the Floribbean rate.

I am packing up our house ready for the move and getting ready to drive my parents crazy for 2 1/2 months living with them until the new house is ready. The Builder told me it would be ready October 28 and I said oh no I will be on the Magic

Can't wait to meet you all and go. My DH was actually able to take leave before he leaves again on the 27th and we went on a 7 day CCL cruise. It was nice to get away and visit 4 ports but NOTHING like the DCL which beats all of the others hands down. Even my DH conceded to the fact that DCL is soooooooo much better than the others.

Hi everyone! These boards are moving verrrrry slow tonight. Must just be a zillion people here I guess!

Tiff, I had to look up the Bruce costume. It would need a whole suitcase to itself! Good luck with your move!

Ginger, we'll participate in T&T as well. We're in cabin 6130. Haven't figured out what Katie's gonna be. We'll play that one by ear. I'm planning on bringing a costume for her, but if she gets too scared, we'll skip making her wear it.

We're going to stay at the Hyatt Airport the night before the cruise since we're flying in so late. Figured that'll be easier on the baby. DH's parents are going to pick us on Saturday morning, and then a-sailin' we will go!

Having problems with the slowness also this noon time! Guess we have a lot of "traffic" on the boards right now.

Andy - Thanks for the picture of the rock shrimp. I have never seen shrimp so big. They look awesome! I'm going to go to the Dixie Crossroads website now and check out what else they have.

Carole - in my book and Andy's book, Rock Shrimp is the only thing they have on their menu!!!!!

 

[carole88]

Rae - They sure do look delicious. I love shrimp but have never tried rock shrimp. Do they have them on the cruise too?

Has anyone talked Andy into joining us yet on the 10/25/03 Magic?

I can just see it now........we will be eating the wonderful dembarkation buffet and peeling boiled shrimp like crazy and then all of a sudden it will get quiet and the Atrium Announcer will announce not just Rae's family name but to hold on to YOUR SHRIMP SHE IS ON BOARD

Ok just teasing, I don't know if it is the stress of the move and starting my 5 year old DS in Kindergarten but I am getting excited about the 10/25 Magic. Maybe it was sailing on Carnival that made me value the good things in life

Oh well, I am excited and the boys are also. My 2 year old DS is always excited. I already know I will be taking him up to the basket courts and running him silly.

I did decide on my CCL cruise that stopped in Grand Cayman that the sting rays are not for me .............those things tried to marry me if you know what I mean or better yet milk the cow with out buying me first. I don't think I can contain my composure for my sons since I could not do it with out them.............we will be hitting 7 mile beach instead

Poohbush, the Bruce and Nemo costumes are HUGE aren't they? I am still negotiating that one

Have a great weekend all! Anyone know how full our sailing will be? I am guessing full, since it is the 2nd sailing since dry dock and over Halloween..........

If I hadn't have had to take a couple weeks off earlier in the year when my DW had her hip replacement surgery, I would have loved to join the Halloween Cruise. I already know what my costume would have been. If you haven't seen the thread about, "I had a dream about Verandah Man," you are missing out on a jewel.

I am attaching a photo of me in my costume. ENJOY!!!

 

[buzz&woody'smom]

How funny and yes I saw the thread, pretty good.......

 

[JLSE50]

VERANDA MAN!! Can you put a link on here for that thread so we can find it even when and if it slips off page one?

Tiff: would the Bruce and Nemo costumes smash down small? Could you pack them in a ziplock and squeeze all the air out before ou seal the zip? I have not seen them in person, so am just thinking out loud.

Poohbush: When we did T or T last year, it was in the late morning so it was "daylight". Everyone gathered in the Atrium so the kids could all see each other's costumes, show them off to the adults and get some photos taken. Then those of us who were only on the giving end went to our rooms to wait for the onslaught. There was only one kiddo who did not participate. He was a 2 year old who thought his costume was too much clothing and tried to take it off. BUT--your sensitivity to your DD is admirable!! What a wonderful Mommy you are!

I still wish we had discussed what we were wearing to the adult judging as I think we might have gotten some prizes if we had coordinated into groups. We had a family who dressed as three dwarfs. DH and I were Queen Snow White and the King. We should have had the dwarfs with us, but since everyone was trying to surprise each other, we did not know until later that they had done that theme.

You will all have a ball!

OK Andy, I am reading that thread and found the picture from the Holy Land. I am having a hard time figuring out what it is. Can you help? On the thread or a PM or e-mail?
THANKS

I'm standing behind the statue of a naked man, whose head was knocked off. I was using my Bible to cover up, well let's say, a private area.

 

[JLSE50]

NOW I SEE IT!
Where is the statue? Was it a fountain at one time?

How long was your trip? I would love to go some time but people act like I am crazy to fly so far with all the unrest in the world now.

Are you and Rae really going to be on that Birthday Cruise or is it some wishful thinking on her part?

Hi Jan,

This statue was at King Herod's castle near the Mediterranean Sea in Caesarea, if my memory serves me correct. It was a 10day trip back in October 1999. It was an AWESOME pilgrimage. I don't know if I would do it now though, I'm glad our church went when we did.

If you click on the link below, I have more photos from that trip. This link will take you to the first of two albums.
