August 28, 2004 "LOST AT SEA" Cruise

[pattiteach]

Guys I did buy Sea Safe. I thought it was a good idea after reading some of the other DIS boards. We will be travel during the season that they sting. How it's not cheap- $20 for one bottle!!

I am bringing bug spray. Last year on Castaway Cay I was all bit up by bugs on the beach and I itched for two weeks after the cruise.

I didn't feel anything biting me on the beach but I started to itch when we got back on the boat. The marks didn't show up until I got home so I wasn't sure they were from the cruise until other cruisers started posting complaints about the bites. My doctor said they lasted so long because of my allergies.

This year I am not taking any chances!

P.S. I did not go in the water so they came from the sand.

 

[Mjasp]

sounds like sand fleas. I put my chair in the water and stayed there all day.

 

[Reenieny18]

I had my daughter wonderng where you were too.. she is pointing here finger at you... I thought maybe the computer broke down.
Ok still on the subject of the SPEEDO . Like I said childhood nightmares.lol. Getting tipsy and forgetting about it sounds good too.. But I think we will have a sniker or two for your friend's husband, Kathy. I am sorry, I just can't hold myself back..lol Joanna: I am sure we can knock on any of the lime green doors on the cruise and find a remedy for what AILS us at the time.
Ginny: as I am sitting here I am laughing uncontrollably.I am telling my kids, well Ginny said this, Kathy said that Jonanna and so on. Daughter asked, and who is "insert DIS name here ".I said you will meet them..lol
I can't wait. Joanna: A 15 min meet can last in to a liftime of friendship though.....

In 2002 when we cruised on the Western Inaugural, someone on our thread had T-Shirts made up for the Inaugural sailing, I wouldn't purchase them, didn't want anyone to know my address etc, lets face it we don't know who we are talking to. When we got to the Radisson my DD then 10 said to me see mom, look at all the nice people here and you were calling them strangers. So you are right about making friends in 15 minutes.
Welcome back Jason!!!!!!!!! We Missed ya!

BAD Jason, BAD!

Is anyone else planning on seeing The Village onboard? I really enjoyed the Sixth Sense and Signs and can't wait to see this movie too. And, movies are always better when you don't have to pay for them!

 

[Samsara]

Can you all believe we're so close to sailing???

I just caught a glimps of my countdown timer on my PC:

Here it is close up:

Only 23 days to go!!!

 

[nuts4sn00py]

Joanna: Spoken like a true NY'er. We are so cautious of everyone & everything, aren't we? LOL! Doreen: I can see it now, knock & run on the Magic...instead of ring & run. I better make sure I get my Medicine in order for this trip. Especially if this week is any indication of how my vacation is going to be! All I know is I'll be trying all those specialty drinks with the Kahlua in them! So everyone beware! Especially if I have to be seen with someone in a Speedo! Jason & Travis: Glad to know everything is okay, now, don't ever go scaring us like that again! You know how uncaring us Dis'ers are! Anyway, I have been online like all day, my DH is like, "what could you possibly do online all day?" He would never understand my DIS obsession! Kathy

 

[winnyis]

Jason - my DH definately wants to see The Village on board. I hate scary movies so Im sure he will be looking for someone to watch with.

Glad to see you back.. we were getting worried... thought you were laying in a ditch somewhere (now dont I sound like your mother - I know thats what mine used to say to me )

Ginny

 

[Mary Anne]

I am planning on seeing ever single movie on board. We never go to the movies at home so DH and I have planned a movie schedule the way some of you have planned excursions.

I'm taking this Friday off to start to get everything together. My hours at work have been off the wall and I'm finding that I crash on Saturday's and then run like a made person on Sunday to try and just get the ususal stuff done. So I figure if I add one more day to my week-end, I might actually get my cruse stuff started.

 

[O'BWV]

Hi All!

My family (minus me - the chicken) plans on seeing The Village on board. They're very excited about it. I think I remember seeing somewhere that Princess Diaries 2 is a Disney film and it should probably be playing too - now that movie I'd like.

BTW - Still no docs here

[DisneyMagicTravis]

Hi guys! Just thought I'd pop in and say "hello." I just saw Jason's countdown on here and I can't believe it is so close. I can't wait to leave work on Friday, August 27th and get the heck out of here! I'm ready to be on deck 10 sipping on a cocktail or two, (heck three or four!) Just kidding. Anyway, hope everyone is doing well and is ready to go. I don't know why I just realized today that it is so close. I hope we're ready!?!? Talk to you all soon.

 

[admepo]

Good Morning!!!!

Jason and Travis....Now I agree with all the other wonderful "moms" on here - SHAME for making us worry like that!!!! Happy to know you guys are okay and with us again!

As far as seeing the Village goes...now I have to find a way to talk DH into seeing it on the ship with me instead of going sooner but the whole FREE thing should sell him!!! We both love movies like that (books too) so we are defintiely in on seeing it onboard - do I sense a possible DIS meet #3 (or is it #4???) ??????

Speedo Men.... I am soooo hoping not to be too tipsy when the Speedo Men cross my path because I am an uncontrollable giggly drunk and will laugh so APOLOGIES ahead of time!!!!

I will also have a small travel medicine cabinet with us - the mother in all of us to be prepared for anything! So you are more than welcome to knock if you need something.....

Mary Anne.... we hardly get to see movies over a PG rating until they are on DVD so we are looking forward to the more adult features onboard and will probably see you in the theater often!!!

I bought the Safe Sea online and it was $9.95 plus S+H so that was a good deal I guess! I will also have bug spray and ponchos (the fabulous BRIGHT yellow Mickey ones from the park - they should have alien green ones!!!!!!) So I think we will be prepared. My DH keeps reminding me that it is just us so my normal packing list of OVERPACK everything and anything the kids might need shouldn't apply...but I can't help myself on the need to prepare for anything and everything!!!!

Well off for the day...Back to School Open House tonight for the boys to meet their teachers That should be fun!!! Then school on Monday and then I can really concentrate on CRUISE stuff with only one little one to tote around with me in and out of stores.

Have a great day everyone!

Hi everyone

Regarding the movie "The Village", I initially had NO desire to see this movie (I thought the subject matter was about one thing that I choose to stay away from, but I found out that I was wrong) and I just read a lot about it on www.screenit.com and I also read the "spoiler" thread about it on the Community Board. I don't want to give anything away about this movie, but I have to say that now I will probably see it (for free. lol) on the ship, now that I know exactly what it's about.

I see that it's rated PG-13, so I think DS16 will want to see it too. DS13 doesn't especially care for tense/scarey movies, so I doubt he'll see it. DH will want to see it. So...if there is going to a mini-movie-DIS meet, let us know! I wonder what other movies will be playing that week on board. Not that I want to spend a lot of time in a movie theater, but like Mary Anne said, DH and I don't go to a lot of movies together while at home, so it would be fun to catch one or two while at sea

Good Morning All!

I ordered Sea Safe SPF 30 this morning at drugstore.com and while I was at it I ordered the Electronic Relief Bands. I get really seasick and I hope this works for me. I'll be bring Bonine just in case though. Anyway, the price of Sea Safe there is $9.45 +s/h. Shipping is free for orders of $49 and also if your a new customer there is a $10 off coupon. The relief bands were $69.99 so it's like the Sea Safe was free (well kinda!).

Has anyone ever used Sea Safe? I thought I remembered reading it is very thick and hard to apply.

THE VILLAGE.....


Please please please DON'T try to find out too much about this movie or read spoilers or let anyone tell you anything! We saw it this week and it knocked our socks off with the plot twists, etc. It's well written and we loved the characters -- especially Ron Howard's daughter who plays the blind girl Ivy. But you really should try not to find out too much about it because it will ruin the surprises.

IMHO -- I wouldn't miss it!

NOW, BACK TO SAFE SEA -- what IS the "time of year" for sea lice? Can someone tell me?

 

[O'BWV]

Sea Lice


I found this info from another thread:

These critters are usually found in the wider Caribbean area from March to August. The greatest chance of exposure is from April to June. I have been told that there is a pattern from South to North as the waters warm. Personally I have seen them heavy in the Bahamian out islands in May.

Here is the whole thread:
