April 19, 2008 - Western - VERY Early Roll Call - Anyone??!!

[Hypermommy]

BTW, us northern people are pretty sick of this SNOW!!! (just had some snow squalls this morning!)

Bring some down to me in your cooler!!!!

I think your character meal is the first sea day after your first night at Animators Palatte so you really won't know what day it will be until you board and get your dinner rotation.

Bummer... makes it hard to plan for on the timeline, but I guess it is what it is and we'll just have to deal with it But that means it's either Monday or Thursday, right? So I can just put it on both and whatever day it isn't, we'll sleep in But I just thought of something else. What time(s?) are the character b'fasts done? Just need to know where to put it in the timeline. Thanks.

I am looking forward to seeing the new rotation. Apparently it is only on the Western cruises. I am surprised nobody has posted the new Navigators.
I have PALO Tues. night, so I am thinking there is a possibility I may miss the first night in AP. I guess we shall see. Tues. night is the only menu I dont mind missing, so I will keep Tues. night no matter what the rotation is.

Starting to warm up here in NY. Went into the city last night for a great dinner down in Chelsea with some old friends.
My GF that has the breast cancer starts chemo Mon. Send some prayers please. She had a bit of good news. It has not spread to any other part of her body. Just the lymph nodes in the surrounding area. It is really good news because they thought for sure it had gone to her bones or liver or ovaries, and it did not. So we are expecting the chemo to do its job and wipe it clean.

Hope everyone is doing well.
I cant wait to meet all of you.
Three more weeks, yeah.

Thought about posting this on your PTR, but decided against that as it's not exactly ontopic. But since I know you read here too.....

Oh, King Charming..... Just wanted to let you know that I just found this thread about Post Cruise Depression (http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1770328). They say the best way to combat PCD is to book your next cruise while onboard. Just wanted to let you know since you did vow to love, honor and protect. You certainly want to protect me from PCD, right? <sly grin>

Ant,
That's GREAT news about your girlfriend! My Mom died of ovarian cancer so I know first hand how brutal that is. My SIL just finshed chemo and radiation for breast cancer, but like your GF it had not spread, so the outlook is very good. It's amazing (and sad) how everyone has been touched by cancer of some sort......

We have Palo on Tuesday too, and I agree that it's the only night we're willing to miss the main dining room. I guess I really don't care if we do happen to be in AP and miss the "show" , but it's the first DCL cruise for the friends that we are traveling with so I'm not sure how they'll feel about it. My DDs will take their young kids to dinner while we go to Palo, so maybe that will be OK. Of course, maybe we won't be in AP at all that night!



And Denise, Don't you think that thread about Post Cruise Depression is a bit over the top??? I'm always sad when any vacation is over, but come on now.... not being able to go to work you're so sad that the cruise is over??? That woman should have figured out that the faster she gets herself back to work to make some money the faster she can book another cruise!

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...... sure it might be over the top but remember it's King Charming that I'm lobbying here. Gotta get on another cruise somehow!

Ant, that's great to hear about your friend. Tons of prayers and pixie dust heading her way.... please keep letting us know how things are going.

 

[MassDisLovers]

You won't need any incentive. Once he gets on that ship and has the best week of his life, he'll be BEGGING you to get him back on ASAP ! And, as he has already pointed out in his PTR, the "up front/one time" charges won't be needed for your second cruise. In fact, those expenses will actually factor out to be even less expensive when they're spread out over 2 (or more) cruises. I use this argument with airfare all the time. If it costs $300.00 pp to fly to Florida (reasonable from Boston) and you stay only for 3 days, then that cost was $100.00 per day. But...... if you stay for 10 days then your airfare only cost you $30.00 per day. See how it works...... You almost have to book another cruise so it will help out with those one time purchases you had to make!

 

[Hypermommy]

I do love your reasoning!!!!!

Hey, quick question. I know they have steak and lobster at the adult beach on Castaway Cay. But is there lobster for any of the dinners in the restaurants? DS14 would like lobster and asked me if they have it can he have some. I told him he could have anything he likes that they serve for dinner but now I'd like to know if they have lobster so I can tell him. Thanks.

 

[MassDisLovers]

They have lobster tails one of the nights. I can't remember of it's Formal Night (Monday) or the Captain's Gala (semi-formal / Thursday), but it's one of them and I'm pretty sure it's Thursday. Remember that he can order as much lobster as he wants that night. If your server knows one or more of you like (love) lobster he/she will bring you a lot extra. It's not Maine lobster like we northeners are used to, but it' still good.

There's not always lobster at CC - one time we were told that it depends on how much is left over. If they don't have enough after the evening serving they won't serve it on CC (that's why I think it's Thursday night). When that happens the crew gets the already cooked lobster tails at the end of the night so he said they always hope that the chef makes the decision that there isn't enough to be served on CC!

Hey everyone! Our computer got a virus and we have been without a computer for a few days. We have decided to put off getting another one since we had one (not hooked up before) for our daughter and because all of our extra dinero is going on VACATION with us IN 3 WEEKS! Can I hear an AMEN on this thread?

Anyhow, other than popping in and saying hi and reminding everyone that we are going on VACATION in 3 WEEKS, I am also posting a request for the following since I had them saved on our now defunct computer:

Mickey Ears for stateroom door and various accessories for the ears..one was a minnie bow, one was a sailor hat, one was a pirate hat, one flower, one socerror (not spelled right..sorry) hat etc. Does anyone have a file that they could send me or post here with this?

 

[Hypermommy]

I have the ears and a pirate hat. I can't remember your email addy. PM me and I'll gladly send 'em on.

Hello Everyone!!

Denise, remember,no ice in the coolers!! I wish I didn't have to deal with this crap at all!!

Tinkified, AMEN!!! We are definately ready!!


I just seen a post asking about the "not so newlywed game". We had seen it before, it is a riot, and I was wondering if anyone has participated in it? I really want to go again and was thinking, as long as I have a few Bahama Mamas, it would be fun to try! Anyone else thinking about it? Sounds like soooo much fun!


Ant, Very happy to hear about your friend! We will continue to send prayers your way!


Good night! At this time, 3 weeks from now,
we will be leaving Key West!!

Docs are in!

There was some talk about packing... we overpack everytime.
You'ld think we would have learned by now, but no.
We'll overpack again....

A few people talked about missing Tue dinner for Palo.
I think we have Tue night also. (not sure, but think it's Tue)
You two also said you didn't mind missing Tuesday dinner???
Did you mean missing just one dinner?
Or is Tuesday dinner something special?

It's not ice.... it's snow!

I just seen a post asking about the "not so newlywed game".

I'm in. I hope I can get King Charming to go for it. It does sound like it would be a lot of fun. What else is everyone looking forward to? Who will I see doing kareoke? How about the trivia contests? Dancing the night away? What are you most looking foward to?

I thought that's what KC's Pre-Tip Report was...

 

[wdhinn89]

Does anyone know how to put my ticker clocks side by side so my monorail picture will show?
Figured it out.

 

[conny264]

@Tinkified-Amen to that.My Laptop is a constant source of worry and trouble.It´s time for a new one,but what kind will depend an how much money will be left after this vacation.
But today was a VERY good day.First my pink Messenger bag from Disneyshopping finally arrived.
And the workers Union and Goverment agreed on a new salary deal.
NOOOOOOO STRIKE ,they had scheduled unlimited strike for our travel dates and last time the Airports where almost completly shut down.
So,hopefully we will not have any big problems.Two more weeks for us.
Have a great week and take care
Conny

Has anyone been on board lately-can you use your laptop in your staterooms now? They were "wiring for wireless" during the transatlantic and just wonder how they did?

[Hypermommy]

Hi all,

Not long now!!!!

Quick question for you. Since we now have these rolling coolers (found a really cool one at Walmart for only $20) are we allowed to roll them up to the pool with a few beers in them and just sit and enjoy them all afternoon? Or must they, as I suspect, stay in the stateroom?
