Love the MM with the CC reference. I think we will all be saying that.

And Im so glad, 2 cruises and been to cc 4 times.
Last cruise it was unplanned, but a hurricane messed up our Tortola cruise.

Are you glad we won't be visiting CC or not? I can't tell in your post.
Out of 8 cruises we've been 6½ times. One time we couldn't dock until lunch time, no Cookies that day it was served onboard, and then it was so cold and windy we just walked around for a little bit and went back to the ship. The other cruise was a MR one so that one really shouldn't count against it.

Yes I'm glad not a chance to go to CC on this cruise, It's a lovely place, but 4 times in 2 cruises was at least 1 to many.

First cruise was a planned double dip, the 2nd was due to hurricane bill that caused us to miss tortola. After planning for a year and 1/2 it was a let down. Disney did the right thing by re routing us, but it was still a disappointment.

The only thing that would have made this funnier was if the old people were wearing Mouse ears.

This brightened my day, especially the weather report. It's 41 here in DE, so it's still warmer in Ketchikan than here.

Happy Friday all

 

[jilljill]

Happy Friday to you as well. Have a great weekend all.

I just read the boards will be going down tonight at 10:30 for maintenance, no clue how long they will be down.

I saw that too, looks like two or three hours at least.

I remember one time they were supposed to be down about that long and it ended up being closer to 14 hours if not longer. Hopefully this time the upgrade goes as planned.

It could take that long if they run into problems moving to a new data stack. Moving that amount of data takes a long time,

Geek speak...


I've noticed the last few days it's been painfully slow on here.

 

[JLSE50]

And to think I thought it was slow because I am DISing on my Blackberry.

Lovely pictures people are putting together! LOVE-LOVE-LOVE the northern lights ones!! Anyone know if they show in the summer or only in the winter? Low sunspot activity now so that decreases them too.

(Does anyone mind having penguins on the pictures since they are southern hemisphere birds?)

I'm still waiting to see Ariel in one of the pics. Hopefully you will get a penguin or a puffin in one of them.
