I'm thinking should we see it now or wait to see it on the ship??? Some say it will be there when we are.

That's what we are hoping so we won't go see it until the Cruise.
I guess we can see it afterwards if it does not show.

I saw a Navigator from a May Med cruise and they were showing TS1, TS2, Up, Alice In Wonderland, The Blind Side, Up in the Air and others at that time.

I told my son not to go see "Prince of Persia" since it was a Disney movie but he could not wait. That's another one that may be showing in August on our Cruise ??

 

[MinnieDiva]

We haven't seen Prince of Persia or Alice, so something to look forward to!

I wanted to post this article for everyone to read...

http://bucks.blogs.nytimes.com/2010...r-your-buck/?nl=your-money&emc=your-moneyema4

What I found most interesting and useful for everyone was this ..... So relying on ATM's to remove large amounts of cash especially when on excursions, not a good idea......

Lori, thanks for the article.

Hi Kate,

Welcome - of course you can join us. Lucky you being able to do another one! Some on the board are looking to start an FE...others of us are not that into it because of the luggage restrictions.

If you PM Mary (Pixie08) she can add you to the website we have...the link is in one of her messages.

Again welcome to this crazy ride....

 

[pixie08]

No Jimmy Choos??

If I could get them past my husband...you bet

Oh gosh I forgot about sneakers I am going to have some really sucking up to my husband when he finds out I need a half a suitcase for shoes I think he is bringing 3 ...umph

welcome! I saw your debate on on of the other threads! Glad you could join us! How was the repo?

If it helps your argument, my DH is bringing 4 pairs.....

 

[mindelmouse]

I'm not as much as a shoe person as you guys seem to be...I'll probably bring my sneakers, my flip flops, one pair of dress shoes and perhaps pool flip flops....my DH will bring his Jimmy Choo's - he's much more into names and fashion than I am

Thank you so much, I have emailed Pixie 08. I have caught up a little with the thread - you lot talk alot!!!!!! and understand the FE thing, I was worried about it, as never done one before, but it was good fun. The guys from the states mainly gave pencils and magnets, or mini Hersheys, which kept it down. I will probably put ours out and do it for our little girl, without her knowing it is me!!

welcome! I saw your debate on on of the other threads! Glad you could join us! How was the repo?

Thanks MD. I was in a bit of a dither about booking this, was trying to get some extra obc to add to the on board booking incentive, but decided to forego what may have been only $50 to do it myself. I like having control and DU were taking a while to respond to my emails - hence the posts. They also couldn't tell me what obc they would offer until I transferred, so I could have got nothing, if they had given me some idea I would have done it like a shot!

The repo was great. The stops were again ones we had been to before, but nothing like this cruise, which are amazing. We also had two days of drizzle and cold weather coming back up to the UK, which sort of put a downer on things a bit. Hopefully, that won't be the case in the Med.

By the way, I love the chat about the shoes - not a problem with me, my passion is bags - I could pracically bring one for each day if I was allowed!!!

We do talk alot, but the core group of us have been here for almost a year if not a year. We feel like we all know each other. As for the FE's, my kids don't really need the little trinkets, I think if they were younger it would mean more. As it is, my kids don't even know they're going on a cruise yet...so putting the FE's in the suitcase might give too much away.

Is the Pope a Catholic?!!!! (as they say in the UK!) . I certainly did, got the medium one, was going to get the wristlet, but it only had a wrist strap, if it had a shoulder strap, would have got it. OH was going to buy it secretively to add it to the larger one (but I sussed what he was doing and put him off!) I Liked the little handbag (purse), but thought the larger shoulder one would be better. There was another shoulder one, which was huge and more expensive.

I would go to the shop as soon as you get on board. I nearly didn't get one, they had sold out of the size I wanted and she didn't know if they had any others on board Luckily, later in the week they found 7 in a box that had been put on in Barcelona, when we got off the ship, there was one left!!

I love it and have had loads of comments already, but the design means nothing to those in the UK. I am not sure whether to bring it with me or not, or whether it might look a bit 'flash' getting on the ship already having one!!!
