April 29, 2012 ~ Aloha! ~ Wonder to Hawaii- who is with me? pt2

[BibbidyBobbidyBoo]

**Hi everyone...

I need to make a call out to someone who wants to take over this cruise meets thread... and probably do it better than I have! I apologize for that... just a whole lot going on and haven't had as much time as I should to keep up with this meet thread. I'm sorry.

Anyway- whoever would like to undertake the duties haha of starting the thread and keeping up with the info on the original post on each part of the thread/etc. until this cruise takes off- please start another thread and then I'll contact the mod back to close this one.

We are switching to the October Hawaii cruise. It just works better for us. If we had stuck with the April one- there's a pretty good chance that I might have to cancel it once the full pymt was due because I wouldn't know by Dec who would be going with us, if we needed both rooms or not, etc. A lot of changes going on around here and just not sure who would be cruising and who wouldn't and I'm not sure I could know that by Dec! So October works better for us. I'm sad about not being with all you guys though. sigh

(this also means need to remove me from anything I signed up for, spreadsheet for roll call, etc.)

Whoever starts the new thread- I'll forward you another msg to add someone to the roll call/etc. I'd update it now but then you might start the new thread without them added. idk LOL **

Scavenger Hunt (credit goes to dolphingirl47 - please contact her if you'd like to participate! Here's what she says about it

Scavenger Hunt

What is this all about?

The Scavenger Hunt consists of 30 questions with a few puzzles thrown in for good measure. All the answers can be found by walking around the ship. I found so many different details while walking around the ship putting together the question that I normally would never have noticed.

On top of this there will be 10 to 15 tasks were you either have to take photos of various things or bring items to the scoring session.

Who is this aimed at?

In short, everybody who can read can take part. You can either join as an individual or as a family.

How do I sign up?

If you want to join in, send me a PM before April 15th. I will then make sure that I have enough question, answer and score sheets printed.

How does this work?

I will give out the game packs at the meet on the first day at 3:00 PM in the Promenade Lounge. If you can't make it to this meet, I will push the pack underneath your stateroom door later in the day. You then have most of the cruise to do this at your own pace. You can either do it all in one go or a little bit at a time throughout the cruise. On the last sea day, I will be at the Promenade Lounge from 11:00 A.M. to 12 P.M. to score your answer sheets and tasks. At that stage you need to hand in your answer sheets and show me your items that you have collected and the photos you have taken. If you have a digital camera, there is no need to print the photos. I am quite happy to look at them on your camera.

So what is in this for me?

Well, apart from a lot of fun and a chance to get to know the ship better, there will be a goodie bag for the winners as well as a small price for the people coming second and third.

Scrapbook Class by Seaulater

Details: On sea day, probably at 1 in the afternoon. Supplies provided by seaulater: the scrapbooks, the paper, the supplies and everything needed to complete the scrapbook- all you have to do is add pictures.

Cost will be determined (but probably about $20).

For right now: just PM Seaulater that you are interested in attending class and more details will be forthcoming once it gets closer to the cruise (probably about 60 days out).

FE list (threebritts has offered to organize this- please contact her if you'd like to participate. I will get with her to get updates to be able to list here who is participating- or perhaps I'll just make a notation to the roll call list above about who is participating. Depending on the number of participants this will most likely be divided up into smaller groups at a later date as well as have a cut off date closer to the date of the cruise- since that seems to be what the majority agrees would be best )
Fish Extender list info: This is a list of those that wish to participate in putting gifts (purchased or homemade items) in other's "extenders" (anything hanging off the "fish" outside the stateroom door that is generally used to receive mail/etc. to your room) and receive same from others. If you have any questions about this- please feel free to post on the thread and someone will gladly explain in more detail.

 

[GigglyBoo]

I went back through the last thread until I found the link

Shirts - I'm in. I would like to order one but it will really depend on price. I would like some fabric for a scrapbook cover also. Will have to pm you with size questions.

Still really excited about this trip!!! Really need a vacation!!!

Really need to spend some time with the friends that are traveling with me!!

 

[valbob89]

If it is your sincere intent to order a cruise shirt, please copy the order form found on the google link:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OAn7Xz7SUa9A9_xguleVOT1XcNO4VlRZFmYtuC0NXlg/edit?hl=en_US#
From the edit function click ‘select all’ and then ‘copy’.
Paste into an e-mail, complete form and send it to my attention at valbob89@aol.com.

This link is to the table of shirt measurements received from our shirt maker. Also, charts of measurements for other sizes to use in comparison.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oxXzrnHdlPiYBgKn04xACHebz29aGud03WBPqsyKyeA/edit#

Although early interest infers moderate sales numbers and shirts selling for $33.50 or less, prices could range as low as $26 or as high as $45.75 (see table).This price includes the manufacturer’s bulk shipping and handling charges but not the cost to mail them to the individual group members. Bob & I will handle that mailing and advise you of the pass-through charge from the USPS. Regardless of when you order, every shirt will be sold at the same price. However, we cannot confirm the cost until the order deadline. If you’re confident you’ll buy a certain number of shirts even if we haven’t reached a discounted price, please place your order immediately. I will update the thread weekly with the number ordered by that date, and resultant unit pricing.
The manufacturer requires the total order for our group reflect at least 10 shirts in each size requested, i.e. if we order 100 shirts, 89 adult size large 10 size medium and 1 size small, they cannot fill the size small order. The group must order a minimum of 5 yards of material in order to include any material. (If we do not receive ample orders, you will not be charged and your yardage order canceled.)
They have not offered child size shirts before. Therefore, based on your feedback, they will determine the sizes they are able to offer.
We received a sample adult 2XL shirt for review. It has five buttons, including the one at the collar, which closes to about 19 inches. The camp-cut shirt was true to size with the following measurements: from bottom of collar to bottom of back of shirt is 32.5 inches, back of shirt width at bottom of sleeve and waist is 28 inches and length of shirt sleeves is 12 inches at the shoulder seam. With front panels of 14.5 inches, the 2XL is roomy at 56 inches. The 100% polyester shirts were selected due to the fact they do not shrink, will wrinkle much less than other material and dry quickly – all factors when considering travel wear. Additionally,this lightweight,breathable polyester is the best medium for color transfer, and with the complexity of our design this was a factor.
Although Bob really would love to have a pocket on the shirt, he agrees that the busy design would not lend itself to adding a pocket unless it is matched up to the shirt print. Even Tommy Bahama's, that he pays over $150 for do not have matched pockets any more. So, no pocket will be on the shirt.
Payment will be required by Dec. 1, 2011 via PayPal, utilizing an account established for this event only. Further information forthcoming.
Current schedule has the shirts being received from the manufacturers by March 1, 2012 for distribution to you by March 15, 2012.

Here is the list of DISboard members who have sent me back their order form. I will edit this posting as new order forms come in and re-post this list every now and then. If I get more info on measurements I will post that too. I apologize if I got anything wrong - just let me know and I'll correct it. Should you need to change anything on your order form just send me an e-mail to valbob89@aol.com.

I can't imagine how many time this is going to have to restart by April...we are a very talkative group. Does anyone have a head count of how many of us are actively chatting about our great adventure?

[castoff]

I will be adding the shirt order from to this posting soon.

Just wanted to say " Thanks " again for all of your hard work !! Great job and I like the final shirt. I will be ordering 2 adult sizes. I might be interested in a yard depending on the price.

 

[Yensidfan]

I will be adding the shirt order form to this posting soon.

Thanks for all the time and effort you have put into the shirts. We are in for 2 shirts. Take it easy and well wishes to Bob.

Thanks again,
Faith

 

[CruznLexi]

For those who have stayed at the Queen Mary how many nights would you suggest? Anyone ever done the tour at night. How is it?

 

[gydell]

Checking in.

 

[Happy Goofy]

Found the new thread. I guess we are a chatty group. It will make the cruise more exciting to know so many people before we even get onboard.

My daughter is leaving for Spain today. Besides being a school counselor she is the Youth Minister at our church- ST James in Rocky Hill, CT. She is taking a group of young people (high school ) age to World Youth Day in Madrid. This is a huge gathering of Catholic youths from all over the world. There will be over 100,000 gathered there to see the Pope and take part in a week full of activities. The activities start next week but they are going a little early to do some sightseeing. They will also be going to Portugal to Fatima. Keep them in your prayers that they all have a safe and healthy trip.

 

[LindaBabe]

Welcome to the new thread - let's keep this one on page one now!

Good Luck to your daughter, HappyGoofy!

 

[Lauragar]

Thanks to all who post everything DCL. This is a fantastic board.

Please add Johngar and Lauragar to the FE list. We can't wait to join in.

Will there be a sigh up list for the shirts and price list?
Or did I miss the post?

Take Care,
Lauragar

Checking in. Hi all

 

[dolphingirl47]

I have made the first batch of magnets for this cruise today. I had today off and after the riots and looting in my home town yesterday, I did not feel like leaving the house today. So I used the time to work on my Fish Extender gifts for my October cruise and to make magnets for both cruises.

Corinna

 

[LindaBabe]

Stay safe, Corinna!

Sorry the violence has to be in your hometown! People are crazy, and have no respect for human life or property. I hope things get better over there soon! Stay safe!

 

[dolphingirl47]

Stay safe, Corinna!

Sorry the violence has to be in your hometown! People are crazy, and have no respect for human life or property. I hope things get better over there soon! Stay safe!

Fortunately all is quiet tonight. There is a huge police presence in town and our police force is being supported by neighbouring police forces and even police officers from Scotland have come down to help. There have been a few more arrests. The first people who were arrested last night have been sentenced already and courts here and around the country will work all night to dole out justice to those involved in this mindless violence. Let's hope that all stays quiet not only here, but in all cities in the UK that have been affected by this.

[NotSoLittleMermaid]

Hi everyone,
Please add me to the roll call:
NotSoLittleMermaid, traveling with Mishoe01.

I love the shirts and will definitely get one! Thanks for all the work and time that's been put into what will be one of the best trip souvenirs ever!!!

I'm also known as "Sassy Bubbles" your Champagne Girls mascot. You won't be able to miss me--I'll be the one with the wings.

Be very careful out there, Corinna. Geez, that's so scary!

I think I'm going to make some magnets for this trip. I can tell you I'm very excited about us having matching Hawaiian shirts! Val, you totally rock!!
