August 20, 2005 - L.A. to Port Canaveral - Eastbound Repo Cruise - The SHIP OF FOOLS Part 2

[big cheeser]

I think our artists have done a wonderful job - and I think that at one of our quiet and spontaneous gatherings - the brotherhood should do a thong based full monty!

What's the split between JGE and yourself, Renee?

98/2?

You think they'll give me that much? lol

I am the opposite. I had two cabins on reserve. One a cat. 9 and one a cat 11. I chose the 11 over the 9 for the 600.00 savings and now am running a little nervous over my decision. Have only been in an 11 once for a 4 day cruise. This time it will be for 14 days. I don't think I like the location of my 11 either. Someone here, and I won't name names stole my SPR. I really wanted 5520 or 5020. Can we bunk with any of you if our room is noisy??

I would probably downgrade to an 11 given the chance. I forgot about the noisy cabins!!!! Another worry, argh! Are there cat 11 noisy cabins too? I have been soo busy I haven't had time to even think about DCL, we bought a 125 year old house and I am trying to finish up my master's degree. I'm thrown for a little bit of a loop here because I was all set with my room on the May cruise but now my control freak self has no idea what is going on. Argh! I really need to let it go because the Disney Gods have shown their favor to me by allowing me a spot on this cruise and there's not a lot more I can ask for at this point!

Oh and I love love love the cat 11's. SOO wonderful for sleeping. We tried it out for our last cruise after a verandah and when we walked in we said "hey, this isn't half bad." By the third night we said "hey, we should book one of these again, it's fabulous!" We just take lots of long strolls up on deck 10 .

 

[Lisa F]

It would be great if you were able to join us! I know you'll miss the May excitement but let's face, the May run is a practice run and we figure by August they'll have it PERFECT!

Ha, thank you! I needed that! I admit that there has been much mopiness in this house over having to cancel. We haven't had a vacation in a couple of years now and it was supposed to make up for all of that. Now the august cruise can, and any kinks should be worked out! Good way to look at it.

If only they would look under their nose:

Will Disney Ever Find Its Big Cheese? Disney insiders have begun to wonder, is this search so secret that not even the candidates know they're being considered? - Variety - 2/17

AM BAAAAAAAAAACK!!!

Welcome aboard Lisa F!! Barbara will tell you all about being a sister in the fools sisterhood!! Thanks so much for posting the photo of the sideway cabin..My parents are cat 11 deck 5...My mom was happy to see the photo and now excited about it! she likes the set up better this way then the normal way.
BTW, i have 3 cats myself!!!

Marsha, Great job on the cafepress!! but you had to include the "thong"??? perhaps i order that for my "boyfriend"!!
yep, Bob said i have a 'boyfriend' now!!!

NO MORE CHANGES, we may be fools, but I think we know that it is not polite to intervene in the life of an artist.

If your intervention prevents him from bankrupting us (ok so I'm exaggerating a wee bit here) I'm all for it. Actually his "shopping spree" today was (a) within reason ($200) and (b) fairly practical (it has something to do with our PCs and such working and networking and whatnot when we move into our new house).

 

[disneydudette1]

Welcome Pauline and Lisa!
Yea!!! I'm not the last Fool to board!

LOve all the stuff for sale...great job. A shopping I will go! However, no thong or little stringy shirt for me...but how I wish I could...well, I guess I could but what a sight that would be.

We had a sideways cabin on our first cruise and I think we have one now...I didn't know there were other kinds...DUH!


Triple threat day...Friday, payday and a 3 day weekend.. YAHOO! Even though a root canal tomorrow.

 

[RobinMarie]

Welcome Pauline and Lisa!
Even though a root canal tomorrow.

I will pray for you.

 

[DenverVal]

Now, back to excursions.....90 days out would make it what...May 18th or there about for booking excursions?...I will mark my calendar! Should not be too hard to remember....my B'Day is May 17th!!!

Actually, believe it's May 23, one day after my birthday! DD's birthday is May 20. Let's hear it for May babies!

Hi all, just come back on line after having a computer crash (a real one this time, not like Allan's virus that ate his mouse!).

As Jenny is on line, perhaps she'd like this joke (its very old so you may have heard it).

Doctor talking to patient who is in hospital waking up from an operation: "Sir, I have some good news and some bad news. The bad news is that we have had to amputate both your legs". "Good god" says the patient, "that is terrible. What is the good news". Doc says, "The man in the next bed wants to buy your slippers".

Pam

You just missed me! But, that was really funny!

Even closer neighbors than we thought, we are in Wappingers Falls! Howdy, neighbor! Where are you flying from? We are trying to decide which would be easier/less hassle at this point, Albany or NYC!

Wow! You are close! We are right in the Red Oaks Mill area. My DW grew up in Wappingers. How long have you been there?

As to flights...we were all set to book Southeast out of Stewart again, but now they are out of business. We flew with them for our last 2 cruises, it was nice coming into Stewart. This time, we are doing Vegas before the cruise and got a pretty good deal with JetBlue for that flight. Plus with 2 kids (DD's 11 and 7) and a long flight, we thought Direct TV was a good call!

We haven't booked the return flight yet, but we are leaning towards Southwest to Albany. It's easier than dealing with the NYC hassle, but it's a little longer ride home. Southwest's schedule just opened up to 8/3, so we need to wait a little longer.

What unusual natural phenomenon is capable of speaking in any language?

First right answer will win a star prize - PamPat and I will be bringing along a few of our much sought after Manx Knobs

Didn't see if anyone tried this yet...I'll go with an echo. (not that unusual, tho)
