answered my own question regarding the aqua duck:

So, when I pay attention to the thread...... you think you were moving fast previously.... oh, you have no idea!!!

By the way, not to rub in my double extended verandah or anything, but look what I just bought to bring along so we can fully enjoy the verandah!!!!!

My husband and I love our verandahs and would pull out the furniture from the room to be out there on port days to eat lunch out there, and at night to sit comfortably out there - the extra long/wide one allows us to bring this along and actually eat out there comfortable... or relatively!

what's the wild side? has Nicole been on the teen board to talk to the other girls? they seem to talk every few days, I think it will make meeting on the ship go much easier

hey guys, those of you on the facebook page, I shared all of my scrapbook pages from our last cruise in 2009 with everyone there to get us all even more psyched!! I just went through them all with my daughter to remind her of the fun! She remembered every detail not even present in the pages!

She had just asked to Disney on Ice at the TD Garden and I told her, no way! You will get to see Disney broadway shows every night in a month! She didn't remember, but then I showed her the pictures of the shows! She remembered... no more need to see Disney on ice.... a poor substitute for DCL shows!!!

Sorry, I haven't checked the boards for a few days so I'm a little behind.

Put us down for both FE groups. We are new at this and still eager so lots of gifts isn't daunting...yet. I know everyone says "oh, it is just the thought that counts" and "people love just getting the gifts", but are there some gifts that are better (or worse) than others?

Thanks for all the hard work Deb!!

Glad to do it!

Oh no! Not even close to the record! This is light thread in comparison to some I have been on for meets in the past and for the transatlantics or MVs. But we can also work harder!!!

Where do you own? Part of me would love to buy a timeshare, but part of me thinks I can get locations cheaper not being an owner We will be checking into Bonnet Creek that same day you leave! Post cruise we are visiting my Mom in FL for Easter.

We own at bentley brook in the berkshires. Don't even ski but use it to go all over the place as our timeshare is based on points.

Too bad we'll be missing each other!

Maddie just asked one of the girls what the wild side was. One of the girls did suggest it so I'm not sure yet. Can they sign up on the boat or will she be too late? She's thinking about it.....

I AM FROM THE BERKSHIRES!!!! just imported to central MA


Never heard of Bentley brook. But if it gives you that much flexibility it must be a great time share!

Oh, I just looked it up!! Its at Jiminy!!! We just took my daughter to dinner at John Harvards for her sixth birthday!!! I do ski and used to race at Jiminy!! Cool!! It looks very very nice!! If I didn't have a place to stay in the Berkshires already I would be all over that!

I just saw a post on the main cruise board that the April 3 cruisers are receiving their DOCUMENTS already! That means we should start receiving ours in 14 days!!!!! (sing-song): Our cruise is getting clo-ser, our cruise is getting clo-ser, our cruise is getting clo-ser! WOOHOOOOOO!

do I need to do something to get my luggage tags? Can I get some mailed to me? Or do I have to print them out on the computer? I like the miled ones better.

Nope. Your luggage tags will be in the packet that DCL mails out about a month prior to the cruise. Each person in your party will receive two pre-printed luggage tags with your stateroom number on them. Hopefully, you'll have a stateroom number by then!!

Last year I printed out the coolest mouse ears and sorcerer's hat that went around the porthole on the door. I usually only look at Milliepies designs, but I cannot find them. Maybe someone else does them? Does anyone know what they are called? The ones from last year are toast!

Almost every day of my life!

This tour consist of a few activities. Last time our DS did it, he said some kids skipped one part or another - so, biking could be easily skipped, but the rest of the fun not missed. Also, we bought it while on board. At that time everyone who wanted to participate could get it, no limitations. Hopefully, it is the same this time, and if some teens change their mind, they could still join last minute!
