Attention all April 4th, 2009 friends:o)

[cruisecrzy]

I have been meaning to get back on here but our house is torn apart as we are remodeling and we have been busy with guests who dare to enter the disaster zone.

Anyway, we did book a Verandah Room. Our close friend is booked across from us in 5137. I see that it looks like people will have FE's. That is great as my daughter loves to "play Santa Spy" as she calls it. Is someone making a list or do you need me to. I have one from prevous sailings so I can just change it to all of our stuff if there is not a list keeper

As for the Kids Club question it does appear to be answered, but if anyone has anymore our very close friend is a CM in Youth Activities. In fact we just returned her to the ship. So if you have any questions I know the expert to answer them. Or anyother questions we may have an "expert" to answer. We are retrieving a crew member from the ship this weekend.

We think for Cozumel we may go mini-golfing and Snorkeling at Eden Rock in Grand Gayman.

Hi Everyone, I just wanted to add that you can google Tripadvisors.com, put in whatever port you are going to such as GrandCayman excursions and you will get a ton of information and then you can also see their recommendations. We are going with FatFish Adventures in GC, they are top of the line there, very small private tours. Not a bad review among them. So we feel safe. I've talked with owner/operator and very helpful especially since me and my sister are both single moms with all boys. We need someone who will know where we are going. Never been on a wave runner before but we are giving it a try this time. Oh dear.

As single moms, we are planning to spend time with our kids (if they want to spend time with us) but since they are teens we know they will probably spend most of their time in their club and making new friends or you could find them in the room order room service which seems to be the highlight of every cruise. So we will be taking part in the adult activites on board. There is plenty to do as I recall from the previous cruises we've taken.

Less than 7 weeks away. With work projects starting to come to the surface, I will need this cruise in the worst way! Take care everyone and talk with you soon.

I have a few moments so I thought I would help with getting the info all in one post. I saw Sunshine Kim started it. Also, Kim if you would like I would be happy to put the info into one document since I have the shell of one that can be 1) posted here when the cruise is here and 2) I can email it to everyone the week prior to the cruise. Just let me know. I do now want to take someones job. I just currently have all my work done and I am bored easedropping on teenagers conversations Plus I am a visual person so having it all in one place with pretty colors will help me as we start to put FE bags together. Hope no one minds that I put it together like this and if you do please PM me and I will happily remove the post.

You can add to this list by highlighting it, copying it and then pasting it into your post and finally adding your info to it. I can then go back and color code it.

I would LOVE it if you could get the information together! I couldn't figure out how to paste/create a table with the information!! It's so nice to print out a list to carry along when delivering the gifts!

So, it looks like the Hannah Montana movie opens on April 10th. Maybe we'll get a world premier event!

We think for Cozumel we may go mini-golfing and Snorkeling at Eden Rock in Grand Gayman.

Where is the mini golf in Cozumel? The only plans we have now are for the stingrays on Castaway Cay (except the boys - too scared )

Here's the list with us added for the fish extenders :

I noticed when I was obsessively checking my ressie to see if I've been upgraded (nope) that I got my room wrong . It's 2012. Sorry.

Also, am I the only one who thinks Pirate Night should be replaced or supplemented by High School Musical Prom Night? Wouldn't that be fun Imagine watching it on the massive screen while having a giant sing-a-long dance party. Maybe my kids watching it in the next room is getting to me

My son is inserting all the emoticons in this message which is why there are so many (<--he says scared is funny).

Now THAT would be scary! They used to do an 80's night & that was fun.

 

[nickcapp]

Could be fun, but I would hate to miss pirate night!

On the Panama Canal cruise they had a summer party theme night at rockin bar D as well as a 70's themed night.

Both were fun.

 

[cruisecrzy]

Okay so I will wait a few days and I will make a list. It will be organized by Deck and I will color code boys and girls. I like walking with it in hand as well. Please tell us childs ages and male or female. If you want to give me kids names I will put them on the list in case people are making personalize goodie bags, gifts, etc. We usually just distribute from a sack, but we may do personalized bags this time.

Kim you are probably right. That would be very cool for the kids.

We have tickets to Jonas Brothers a week from Friday. I am filling the minivan with little girls and the rest of the moms are getting the evening off.

HSM prom would be scary I am sure.

 

[cruisecrzy]

I have made a rough list of the FE participants. It is seperated by deck and color coded.

Grlzmom please notice that I need info for your group. Girls/Boys and ages.

If anyone is willing I would love names of children. It will help me personalize the gift bags with your childs name and I will put them on the list to help others as well.

I have made the list in MS Word. When we get more info I will post the list here and have it available as an email to those who would like it in either word or .jpeg format.

 

[grlzmom]

My gang is:

Me (Jeanne), Dh (Eric)

dd 17, dd 14, dd 12, dd 7, dd 6 and ds 6.

Been busy here and no time to Dis

Hope everyone else is having a great week.

 

[3mmm]

Is the list really complete?

Seems like such a small number - if anyone else is lurking, please sign in so we know how many we are dealing with.

Also, all the boys are ds - I guess I mistyped - no stepsons in sight - don't want the kids to hear something that confuses them. I can't recall my stateroom offhand, I'll post it when we get our gty assignment for the other one.

No gifts for dh and I please - 5 kids and my nanny is enough to ask from anyone.

Thanks

PS I'll PM you the kids names and anyone else who needs them. I must admit I will not be doing anything that is personalized - sorry

 

[cruisecrzy]

3mmm is right. If there is anyone thinking about FE's let us know so we have time to shop.

I do believe we are in agreement that it will be random and not assigned days. So that is the way I am doing the list(just organized by deck) If I am wrong speak now.

I am going to make a list that will be organized by deck and I will only be emailing it out. So if you would like a list that has all the info on it please pm me your email. I will then email you the list.

I will continue to update the one here, but I will not be putting names on it.

So here is the list that is updated.....I have more time on my hands this week can ya tell

Looking for Firefighter Mickey. I need info for your group. All I could find was the room number.

 

[cruisecrzy]

I know someone asked a few days ago. Sorry it took me a few days to get to it. Here is the website link for the Miniature Golf in Cozumel. We did not do it in the past as our DD was too young. Our friends son was 7 or 8 at the time and loved it. They went back again recently. They said there are large friendly lizards that watch you play. Our DD loved the mini-golf at Winter-Summerland so we think she is old enough now,

That was me - thanks!
Looks like it's within walking distance of the pier. We were also thinking of Playa Mia - any thoughts on that?

Last time we were in Grand Cayman (Freedom OTS in March '07), we just kind of wandered in town while the girls went on their excursion and we had a good time. No rushed feeling, got to the little market in the square, people watched for a bit and took our time wandering back to the ship.

Just six weeks to go!

So I have actually been to Playa Mia. I cannot remember the cost to get there and I believe there was a fee to get in. It was nice. They had food and drinks for sale and decent bathroooms. There was like a Mexican market there between the entrance and the beach. They had a Snorkeling Area there with "under water treasures and a city" It was cute. I think you could pay more and there was a blow up type play area.

As fr Grand Cayman if there are any snorkelers they have AMAZING snorkeling just a five minute walk from the ship and it is at my favorite cost FREE. If you get there early enough you can put your stuff on a chair or there are lockers available as well. Then hop in the water and go for it. I saw some amazing tarpin last November. So clear and beautiful over there.

And yes you can walk to the Golf. I cannot remember the cost. I tried contacting them, but nothing. I emailed my friends that went to see if they remember the cost.
