My DS will be 13 at the time of the cruise (just a couple weeks shy of starting eight grade!! That sounds crazy since we have only put a dent in his sixth grade year!)

Dahly

My ds is in grade 6 now too, when I was figuring out his age at sailing, I couldn't believe it, when I think of the cruise I don't think of it as being to far away but I can't imagine my baby boy in grade 8!!!!!! He is turning 11 on Monday.

Did you guys book with Carol??

Carol, said that she would find out as more information was released about the Dream as to what DCL would be offering!!

Yep we booked with her.

Nassau never impressed us....

I've heard this numerous times.....can anyone explain why Nassau is boring? No sense to plan anything there if there's really nothing to do.

The only thing I'm aware of is Atlantis and not sure if we'd stop there or not? Is Atlantis something that everyone should do/see "just once" or it's not really that thrilling?

Thanks!

I agree, we checked out the port area, did a bit of shopping, picked up some yummy rum cakes, don't feel that I will have to get off the ship, think I will ride the slide when most are in Nassau.

Whenever I read double dippin' I picture my kidlets double dippin' with chips and dip lol

I like the names suggested too, wish I could be as creative, a poll sounds good.

BOHEMIAN DREAMERS - thoughts

Hi to Andy, Janeanne, Jen and Kristin!!!
Wow, there are lots of us back on the same ship (hopefully - Andy, I still have my fingers crossed that you'll have both Angelina's wedding AND the cruise!!!). I am sooo excited about the cruise - I need something to cheer me up on a chilly rainy day here.
Jen, another awesome job on the website!!!
BTW, Kevin doesn't know it yet but his braces are going on in April...who knows if they will be off by the time of the cruise??? LOL. He loved the pictures of Dream's teen club - and Tess is excited about moving up to the tween one. So much to look forward to!
We need Ed for our count down thread!!! (Ed, are you out there???? Come back from Alaska and join us!!)
Have a great weekend everyone

That sounds wonderful Candy!!! I am looking forward to our EB TA cruise in April, but it will be so great to have all the Parrotheads back together again!!! See ya all on deck 9, I guess its deck 11 on the Dream.

Hi Gina....Tell Jenna the girls are happy to cruise with her again!!!!!

I haven't told them yet, I just found out myself, I will wait for Alec to get home from work so we can tell them together. They will be so excited to see everyone again, you will have to talk Janice into coming so Jake could see Tyler again, he still talks about him.

Jenna is not feeling well, she complained of a headache when we were out, then threw up all over the car and herself while I wass in the drive thru at Timmies. She seems ok now but I have her laying down on the couch in her jammies just in case. Hopefully it doesnt turn into anything to serious!

Ohh, poor Jenna..Tell her that the girls hope she feels better soon.......

He had me convinced that we werent going to do this cruise, then he was on his laptop before he left for work, and off he went. Then I checked my email and he forwarded me Carol's email confirming our ressie. I was so excited I wanted to scream, but the kids don't know yet, when he gets home he will get one big fat kiss!!!

Jake would be thrilled if Tyler came on the cruise, Jenna says thanks to the girls, I can't believe that Jenna will be 10 at sailing, ahhhhhh double digits!!!

I know it would be FUN.....

I wonder if we can beat our old record of 13 Chapters with the old Parrotthead thread??

Did you tell Erica that your going?

Hey Candy, this is first time I have seen your new name, I guess Randy is RanCan now. I am so excited!!!

Yeah, I'm on my own now. He was posting so much (and we didn't want to confuse people anymore) that we decided to get a DIS divorce!!! He got to keep everything, and I had to start over!!!
When I post on other threads, people think I'm new to the boards! LOL
