August 28, 2004 "LOST AT SEA" Cruise

[sandygirl]

Karen - I'm so glad to hear that Doreen may come home soon. Migraines are nasty things. Hope that is all that was going on with her and they can control the migraines. I used to have medication to block a breakthrough migraine. Please, someone, PM me Doreen's address. Thanks.

Tell Doreen that I think there is an IV hook-up for the DIS,

Stan says "Hello".

Joanna and Ginny - Stan's stepson called this morning to check on him. He was calling from househunting in FLORIDA. Are you jealous? I am.

Hi Everyone:

I can't help myself I have to post this.

When we left the cruise I had stated it would probably be our last Disney Cruise and the ONLY reason I rebooked is the chance to cruise again with the great friends we made on the Aug. 28th cruise. This was our 5th Disney cruise and DIS meet and none of the other meets turned out like this one did. I feel we made life long friends.

Jeff may have started the thread about the "good deal" on the 8/19 cruise but that had no part in my going on this cruise. As Ginny stated we were all talking about a reunion cruise before the rates even came out.

If I had a dollar for every time someone misunderstood a thread or posting I would be a very rich man.

Let me try to add some final clarity to this issue.

If you would kindly take a look at the Cruise Meets Board and scroll down the page through the different thread titles you will find that no other cruise thread is listed by anything other then the date or perhaps that it is over a holiday.

When the 08/19/06 thread was originally posted it was listed as the Lost @ Sea Cruise. To me that was pretty presumptuous of your group to call it after those who sailed on the 08/28/04 cruise?

I wasn't on the 08/28/04 cruise and neither were many of the other cruisers who booked 08/19/06 so it wasn't a reunion for them either. I could have easily started a thread the morning the 2006 rates came out stating it was the 8/21/04 reunion thread, but that would have been wrong also.

I am sorry you think I am being childish, but I have a tendency to take everyone into consideration. My post about the good price on 08/19 had nothing to do with why I thought you were being inconsiderate in regard to the other cruisers for 08/19/06

I am sure you are all a bunch a real nice folks, but you can't overlook the obvious.

Jeff... I apologize if you or anyone else going on the 8/19/06 cruise was offended by the title of the thread (which has now been changed). I can assure you that Mary Rose had no malicious intent of excluding anyone when she started the thread. We had such an amazing time on our prior cruise together that we started talking about an August 2006 reunion cruise as soon as we got back.

I almost cant believe that this issue has even gone as far as it has... Honestly guys... In the grand scheme of things this is kinda silly.... How about this - lets start fresh.. we have 2 years to get to know each other even better... we will all be pals by then..
How does that sound.

Ginny

 

[Buddy Bear]

I totally agree; it has gotten silly.

I just wanted to point out something and certainly didn't want it to get this out of hand.

I am sorry.

Jeff

 

[winnyis]

Good Im glad this is all settled.

Now back to your regularly scheduled cruise planning....

Ginny...Well said! Now Jeff, and everyone else, lets talk and get to know everyone that is cruising on the 8/19/06 sailing.

Jeff, come join us. It is fun to get to know each other.

Hi Everyone - Can I ask a favor please. Will someone take over the 8/19/06 thread for me please. I love you guys and will read about you and correspond with you through PMs but I just can't participate here anymore I come here for fun and will not play in a place where anyone can call me presumptuous and overlooking the obvious. I have known self-important people like this my entire life and I'd just rather back out now before it gets ugly. Alas, no matter what is said, the 8/19/06 will be our "Lost At Sea Reunion". Doesn't matter who likes that and who doesn't. I think my mistake on the other thread was naming it "Calling all 8/19 cruisers..." I should have just called it the reunion cruise that it is. Okay, so I made a mistake, I'm sorry, so shoot me. but don't call me names - I don't like that.


Love you guys, see you on the PM
Mary Rose

 

[kap158]

Lyn and MaryRose - I pm'd both of you.

Hello Everyone..

Jeff..

When the 08/19/06 thread was originally posted it was listed as the Lost @ Sea Cruise. To me that was pretty presumptuous of your group to call it after those who sailed on the 08/28/04 cruise?

Actually you may be correct, but no one asked you to post on this thread..We started it for our reunion cruise...

All of us on the August 28th cruise really bonded and all decided to cruise togteher in 2006...

So if you and the other 2006 cruisers dont like our thread..then please dont post and start your own..Im sure you can get other people to join you..

As far as Mary Rose , you are not correct in calling her names....She is our friend, and we will stick together...

I really hope you have apologized to her about this issue...As for me I know im a big mouth, but I stick by my friends...

And yes...Our friends from our 2006 Lost @ Sea Cruise will remain friends for life...

If you want to be a part of it..great....If not...Well. then go.....I cant curse..

Bobby,

You are right, I have no business posting on this thread, but since so many here posted unkind things about me over the last couple of days I thought it was high-time that the record be set straight, so perhaps your group should be apologizing to me.

Refusing to let ANYTHING ruin the excitment of our 2006 reunion cruise, or interfere with our friendships, I am hereby replying with some positive comments:

I think the Fury Catamaran excursion for Cozumel is an EXCELLENT idea! DH and I watched our DSs as they boarded the Fury for their Teens-only excursion, and it looks like a fun watercraft I have read a lot of good reviews of it, over on the Cruise board. Hopefully we can book as a group so we can be on the same cat!

Dining times: On our last 2 cruises, we had late dining. I noticed on our reservations from All Seasons that we have early dining reserved. I know I can change it to late dining, so I'm not too concerned about that. Maybe we can get a list of everyone's dining times? I don't know whether John will have a preference or not, but so far he has enjoyed the later dining. I would LOVE to link dining reservations with as many of you as possible

T-shirts: Dori has graciously taken on the job of creating t-shirts for us. Personally, I would LOVE a shirt with a reference to our reunion on it, but whatever she decides is great! Can we have both cruise dates printed on shirts for those who want that, and then only the new cruise date printed on shirts for the others?? That might be a too much trouble to have different wording though, right? An idea I had...and I don't know how feasible it would be, but how about our names on the back of the shirt? Maybe just our first names and/or DIS screen names?? In small print, of course. lol Just an idea!


****************************************************
I have to say, all day I was feeling very down about this whole thread situation. I don't want any of us to lose the excitment we were all feeling before this situation presented itself. I don't want any of the "new" people to feel excluded from joining in on conversation about the 2006 cruise, but at the same time, we have the right to talk about our 2004 cruise, too. I never should've replied to Jeff in the first place the way I did. He voiced his opinion. I didn't agree with it. And instead of trying to placate him, I should've just ignored what he said. (I don't mean ignore him as a person, just ignore what he said about that specific subject). But like Mary Rose...at this stage of my life, I find myself having little tolerance for those who.. Ok....I'm stopping here. Enough said from my end.

Thank you so much to all of my friends. I love you all, and can't wait to see you again!
