April 26 - May 3, 2008 Caribbean Crazy Cruisers

[WDWLVR]

Hi All,

I haven't been on for so long.... I had to update my registration. I forgot my password and when I asked for it to be sent to me, it didn't recognize my email.

Well - I'm back. We were out of our house from October to the end of February. The bottom floor had flooded when a pipe burst under the kitchen sink. The plumber thinks it was due to the fires in the area at the time and the change in water pressure. I did re-do my kitchen and it is beautiful.

I have so much catching up to do. I did not move my computers to the apartment and I never checked disboards when I used the computers in the apartment's business center.

Glad to be back. Talk to you later.

Jen

Welcome back! We missed you. Sorry to hear about all the drama with the house but happy to hear you are back and still sailing with us.

[ohiominnie]

Mary....
this is my dress....You'd have to be dressed PRETTY poorly to be considered a frump!

 

[wdwluvrs]

either place for the dis meet is fine with us we will just have to try to remember where the Promenade lounge is. still waiting for the dress shirt I ordered to arrive.

 

[LCtonra]

Oh about the Roll Call...I know my husband thinks he is God, but his name is Chris not Christ!

 

[floridahippy]

Hi - i guess I am a lurker - never seem to have the time for myself to get to the computer (at work at present!!!)
I vote for Option A for the Meet
Cant wait to meet everyone and have some fun

 

[LCtonra]

Welcome FloridaHippy!!!! I am basically just a lurker too, but post from time to time. How many of you will be cruising?

 

[WDWLVR]

Oh about the Roll Call...I know my husband thinks he is God, but his name is Chris not Christ!

I'm afraid that typo is my fault. I'll have to go in and fix the web page. Sorry about that.

 

[zerog]

Hey I'm not 41 yet. My dh is only 43 and my oldest is a15.

Fixed!

Sorry Jen. I incorrectly posted Ohio's ages as well. I realize people are sensitive about their age, but our birthdays are posted on the Monorailgreen website - so I thought it would be okay to post ages in the roll call. I love math, but I miscalculated. That's why they say "you can put man on the moon, but you can't calculate a person's age."

It is interesting, at least to me, to see how we all vary in age. What a mix!

Let's do an official count for the DIS meet. This is for the official meet and greet to be held Saturday April 26th. Your choices are:

A) 3pm in the promonade lounge on deck 3 (this is inside)

B) 3pm on deck 10 mid-ship on the side by the dock (this is outside)

Everyone please vote. This is a time for you lurkers to come out of hiding as well.

I'll tally up the totals we have by end of day Thursday 3/20 and whatever location has the most votes is where we'll have the meet.

Sound good to everyone?

. . . we vote for the deck 3 at 3, I am praying that we will even be there at 3, all of our reservations are being handled by MAW (Make-A-Wish), and since I am a bit of a control freak, (I like to be able to control arrival times!!!) I have NO IDEA when are flights are, what airlines, or what the mode of transportation to the port even is,. . .they have told me that I will find out 3 weeks prior to the trip. . . and I think the grey hairs are mulitplying as I type this, it just makes me VERY nervous when someone else has ALL the control, hopefully I will be pleasantly surprised. So we are just going to be HAPPY to be on the ship . . . and meeting all of the group.

Disney Cruise Line has agreed to make Port Canaveral home for both of the newest super liner cruise ships in its fleet beginning in 2011, FLORIDA TODAY has learned.

In addition, Royal Caribbean International has signed a letter of intent to bring its Freedom of the Seas to be home-ported at Port Canaveral in 2009.

The deals are the culmination of a year of negotiations.

In 2011 and 2012, Disney will put both of its mega-size 4,000-passenger ships at Port Canaveral in a deal in which the cruise line will pick up the $22 million cost for improvements to its land-side terminal at the port and construction of a new parking garage.

Under terms of the 15-year deal, the ships will remain at Port Canaveral at least until 2014, at which time Disney has the option to move the ships. At least two of the four Disney ships will remain at Port Canaveral for the duration of the contract.

“This is the most exciting development,” said Stan Payne, chief executive officer of Canaveral Port Authority. “The trend in the cruise industry is to put the bigger ships at the strongest ports in the country, and for Disney to put both of its newest ships here is a big statement.”

With Royal Caribbean, the deal to bring Freedom of the Seas to Port Canaveral in 2009 was critical to replace the Mariner of the Seas, which leaves for Los Angeles that year.

The five-year deal, which includes two one-year contract extensions, is the longest term of any contract the port has had with Royal Caribbean. It took a year to work out the Disney deal, because of issues related to the overall deal, particularly including financing the terminal construction, which needs to be completed by October of 2010.

In February 2007, Disney announced the deal with Germany’s Meyer Werft Shipyards to build the two 122,000-ton ships.

LCtonra - I believe it was about 1 month before our cruise date. I've got to admit I was pleasantly surprised; I expected a Cat 11.

CCREW: Welcome to the roll call!
