I'm glad the old Grumbo is back, and he's wittier than ever!! And forget about the Icewine, just your presence will be enough for me

9:00 AM- Just got the MESSAGE--

Sorry to inform you, but due to high winds and rough seas, we are unable to dock at Castaway Cay. We will hold about 3 miles from the island and try again in an hour. If we are unable to dock then we will have no choice but to spend another day at sea.

Can you say MUTINY!!...Mark

 

[kmiles]

I forgot to mention, some individuals submitted additional photos that they wanted to share with the group. Those will also be posted but after all judging is finished.

 

[Grumbo]

Geez Mark that sucks.
I think they saw more land during hurricane season than you guys have on this cruise. Keep my fingers crossed for you getting onto CC.

Cheers,
Grumbo

2nd attempt- FAILURE!!!

They're trying to ruin this vacation, they're good, but not that good!!

I had Sandy booked for Parasailing, it would've been a great photo op. She planned on taking an aerial of Castaway Cay. Next time!!

WOW!!! I can't believe the bad luck you've had on this trip, Mark!!! I'm so sorry things haven't gone at all as planned, but your attitude through it has been fantastic.

I'm telling ya - you're just practicing for all the sea days we'll have in August

Of course, you'll be spending that trip with 400 of your "closest friends"!

That sucks Mark!

Sorry, you have not been able to get off the ship much! This should get you in the mind set for the Repo cruise! We won't be getting off the ship much then either! What other activities have you and Sandra been participating in? (besides the obvious)

I hope you have enjoyed yourselves!

 

[Grumbo]

I'm beginning to wonder if kmiles and Mark are Jonahs and should maybe be booted from the Repo Cruise.
This may merely be an Omen of things to come with these two!!!!!! Sheesh.

Cheers,
Grumbo

Getting ugly here folks. The deck 9 mantra is 'Disney Sucks'. Haven't seen any officers on deck 9 all morning. I guess they're planning something to calm the masses. They've offered complimentary Bahama Mamas for 1 hour in attrium. Guest services personnel are getting the brunt of it.

Just found out about an accident onboard. After we started to leave Cozumel and were well into the deck party we had to go back to port. A women apparently drove her electric cart too close to a staircase and fell down the steps with her cart. She was taken off the ship to be flown home. Stories of her injury have been pretty much all over the place, from just shaken up to broken pelvis.

looking forward to a better day at sea with sunshine and less wind!! ...Mark

Hey Mark,

Thanks for the PM, but sad to hear that the Magic didn't dock at CC today, what a bummer!!!

I just had my own "High Tea" this morning, but I wasn't sure if I was supposed to drink the tea, or soak my frozen toes in it, LOL!!!

Baby, it's cold outside. I only have 5 more winters to go, then this behind will be spending the winters in Florida!!! Safe travels home Mark and Sandra. If you're flying home this weekend, we are expecting a lot of snow starting Saturday and ending sometime Sunday.

We're cold here too. My husband does Indian Guides/Indian Princesses (now known as Adventure Guides) with each of the children. Tonight he is going "camping" (in a heated longhouse) with lots of outdoor activities planned with my daughter and a group of others. It is supposed to be FREEZING up there in the Poconos! I don't know how he will get home on Sunday after this big storm. I'm going to be worried all day. Sound like fun? I think I'll spend tomorrow making a big batch of homemade tomato sauce and a nice fire.

Hi Mark,

Really sorry to hear that you guys did not get to CC... That is crummy.

Oh yes, you are in BIG trouble for what you had Grumbo do when you get back. And Izzi, you are not out of the woods either!

Safe travels home to you, Sandra, and the kids. Thanks for posting while you are on board...it's been fun to "hear" from you!!

Oh Mark, what a bummer!!!
Well look at it this way, you will be with the Disfriends next time you go CC!!

Are you sure Mark, that you didn't have anything to do with that poor woman who fell down the stairs? perhaps you gave her a "push"???? I mean you were drunk last night!!

Also you still have time to slip the judges a little extra. PayPal and cash are accepted.

Gee why didn't i thought of this before ...Already judged and voted.... Grumbo, how about we split??

Sure, it is FREEZING here.. Can't stand it!! I take Fla weather here anytime, even though Izzi and J&T are freezing theri a** off!!

Mark, you going home tomorrow?? You may want to go back to Walmart and get those boots, you may be flying back into the snow!! Predicated forcast is 4-8 inches of snow tomorrow afternoon into Sunday. in the NewYork, New Jersey and Pa area...

 

[Verandah Man]

Philadelphia news station KYW3 just increased the snow prediction up to
8-12 inches for the Philadelphia/South Jersey/Delaware area. I will be staying home this weekend, good thing I have things to do inside, until the snow stops, then I'll be outside digging out the driveway.
