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

[LittleDisneyLovers]

I guess the alternative to having barf bags on the stairs could be much worse though!!!

EW!

At this moment in time, I am just testing the water for interest. If the demand is there, I will take formal sign ups for the jewellery workshops when I get back from my next cruise in mid October. It is not quite as easy as just starting a spreadsheet as I have to say that it worked a lot better for me to have each group do a different project. On the WBTA, by the time I had done the same projects with 4 groups, I was willing to lose the will to live. So I have to come up with the projects first and then I can start to take sign ups.

Sounds like a good plan Corinna. I will keep an eye out for a formal sign up if there is enough interest. Thanks for volunteering to do this again.

We got a taste of this on the last day of the Med cruise last year and it was not pretty.

EW again!

Online, they still are offering:
Hawaiian Host chocolate covered macadamia nuts in 2 oz boxes (4 pieces of candy) for $3.19 or a 6-box set for $18.79. They have Mickey & Minnie, LILO & Stitch, and Hello Kitty designed boxes.

I imagine they are offering the same in stores. They were in stores in Feb 2010, still online in April 2011, so who knows for May 2012?

THANKS.

The rough seas on the Med cruise were enough for me. Even thought it was just a few hours until they got near land it was the worst few hours of the BTB 25 days on the ship. Lets hope for sunny skies and calm seas.

We just booked this morning! We don't have a room assignment yet, but we would like to sign up for the FE and SMs.

I recognize some of the names from our PC cruises that we did on the Wonder and the Magic.

We are:
kmitchel (Karen)
pmm0724 (DG - GeeGee)

and my son Peyton

Funny you say disorganization. That is what happened. So instead of me drafting a form letter, becides I think it better to have each letter have it's own saying and personality, just say that you have seen a video and have heard stories. And now with all these PIF dates, looks like history is repeating itself yet again.

I wish I had read this post before sending my comments. I did not mention the differing paid-in-full dates.

I did say that guests and CMs on the WONDER and the MAGIC (once the FANTASY comes on line) should not be treated like an after-thought. I also suggested they have an ordering system for special pins and souvenirs.

I told them that we do a lot of free advertising for DCL and want to be proud of OUR cruiseline.

I agree that individual missives are better than a form letter or petition.
Thanks for the encouragement.

I'm thinking we should add a Geezer Meet or two to this list since all 6 founding members will be onboard.

Geezer Meet - Cove Cafe around 10 pm or so All are welcome, no need to sign up as Geezers would loose the signup list anyway.

We had rough seas in and out of Port Canaveral last September on our Bahama's cruise. I have to say that it was enough for me too!..I was the only one it seemed to affect.. I hate having a sick belly. I tried dramamine, but it was not the most effective. I have heard that the patches are better, so I think I will try them this time!... My Uncle who has cruised a few times before recommends them... Here's hoping for calm seas, or good motion sickness meds!

How about a game day or game hour?
Our servers were wonderful! One had been there for almost 7 years the other since Nov would love to see both of them again. Hoping they have the Jimmy Buffett tribute band and Alfred Seymore for the cruise!

 

[UKANGEL]

A Jimmy Buffet tribute band sounds good! Fingers crossed

Of course the GITs are included as always! Sorry to our UK friends for the acronym.

I agree! LOL! Geez, hope they don't quarantine seasick people..DD was quarantined back in 2005 on board and it was awful. She was so sick to her stomach, not from seas though, in her case was a virus.

Don't want to be holed up in the "cave" LOL!

No worries. When the seas are rough they're pretty use to people getting sick. We had a really rough night coming back from CC one night and there were a number of "protein spills"
