Christmas Cruising 2005

[FletcherMem0rial]

Great review Karen!

Great Job!

Where exactly would I go to catch a ferry? Trust me, I am clueless...

We have not picked a date - Aisling, I am totally open, you chose a day...

~colleen~

 

[FletcherMem0rial]

I believe Karen had asked for the first weekend or the weekend before thanksgiving in November

Final count down to dinner ressies.....Paul liked the idea of a group dinner.

So, I'm going to aim for Thursday December 29th @ 8pm. Sound ok?

Tigg & Jill I've got you down....anyone else wanna join in that night?

If this is pirate night what will we do???? I figure wing it, right

Wish me luck with pixie dust!!!

[FletcherMem0rial]

Grim and Dede said they'd be there...

Question is, Dede, will you give up your precious alone time with Grim at Palo to join us for dinner?

Aisling, Kris, Karen, Kandice...ooooh looky at all the Ks....are you in?

~cj~

 

[FletcherMem0rial]

I think thats semi-formal night?

I'll have to go check now.

 

[FletcherMem0rial]

Ok-Did my homework, Tropicali Night was Tuesday and now Tuesday is pirate night...I am assuming this is accurate from what I just read.

They also give out the bandanas at dinner-gotta be there for that

And a few said the more you dress the more fun Pirate night will be

Thursday means we miss semi-formal night but I'd say the semi-formal outfits we have would be nice for Palos. We HAVE to grab a DCL photographer that night.

 

[Aisling]

Missing semi-formal for Palo is ok with me. But isn't semi the Captain's Gala dinner? Is that something special??
Wow, the REAL planning is beginning!

 

[shelly3girls]

Can anyone tell me for sure what the nights are as far as themes? I was able to book the private room in Palos for our family group for dinner on Monday night and brunch on Thursday. I just want to make sure that these days are good to choose before the other days fill up.

 

[Aisling]

Saturday night...casual (but happens to fall on Christmas Eve)
Sunday night...Formal (happens to fall on Christmas Night
Monday night...casual
Tuesday night... Pirate Night
Wednesday night...casual
Thursday night...Semi-Formal (Captain's Gala?????)
Friday night...casual

Jill

 

[Aisling]

What is the Captain's Gala/Reception??

 

[trinibjill]

We dressed up & had a reception at the lobby atrium, deck 3 midship.
Everyone dressed to the nines There was a reception line with the Cpt & other cew members.

 

[KKB]

not sure how MIL will take this...my hands are a bit tied since she is paying...
Thoughts, anyone?
Aisling...remember, I really don't offend easily....but you did NOTHING! Tig nailed it...I was grading myself! sad, but true!
So flipping pooped these days!
OK, DAN SAID WE ARE IN! (like he said, worst case scenario, it's not like it couldn't be changed--but frankly, I really do love Dan's family, but I learned in Stone Harbor that a bit of a break is a VERY good thing!)
Hope I got ya....Better post this!
Kris

 

[KKB]

Just wanted to reiterate, in the hopes you get this!
Kris

 

[trinibjill]

go to the unofficial disney cruise line info to see the navigators for the eastern cruise. they are from 2005

Disney Cruiser Info

On that site there are pictures. I remember Aisling was looking for some Cpts & there are some Xmas pictures

 

[nskjerven]

Worst case if we need to bail on Palos we do....remember it's a vacation. I'd also be open to trying another time. Suggestions????

Did I miss anyone????

 

[nskjerven]

OOPS Shelley how'd ya make those ressies????

 

[shelly3girls]

I am really risking getting yelled at by posting! 3x is trying to make sure I get my sleep and I am way past bedtime...

I called concierge services to make our Palos reservations. Tomorrow is technically the day I can book but they let me book the private room today. They would not let me book the tea b/c the private room is not open for tea. I have to wait to make those reservations until tomorrow. When I called the regular DCL number to get info they told me that Palos didn't have a private room.

 

[nskjerven]

thank you, shelley, now go to bed and get your baby rest.

That's great by the way

Nan

p.s. 3x, please don't yell at your sis....she is too nice....(hee hee hee)
