Coach's Party... The real story!

[Coach]

This is a copy of my posting on the "Who's crusing on 10/17" thred.
Sorry about not posting this earlier but we are back from our 10/17 cruise and it was “Wonder”ful.
As some of you know, we were upgraded from a Cat. 4 cabin to a Cat. 3 Concierge cabin.
My family and I invited all our “DIS” friends, who were joining us on the 10/17 cruise, to our cabin (# 8102) to help us celebrate our good fortune. We had about 20 DIS’ers in attendance and there was room for at least 40 more! No exaggeration! The veranda was big enough to play a game of half-court basketball. Not that we would because I coach Hockey and hockey is life!
To go along with the veranda, the cabin itself was first class. Beautiful wood, a full home entertainment system, more than enough room for a family of four and not to mention all the little perks that go along with the Concierge service. It was like we won the lottery . But the best thing about our cruise was meeting and talking with all the DIS members who stopped by. As I told everyone when we met you in our cabin, I probably will not remember your names but I will remember your faces and your friendship. Thank you all for coming and helping my family and I celebrate our good fortune.
To all of you who stopped by, I’ve got the pictures developed and put on CD. If I can find a way to post the picture of all of us I will.
For those of you who saw the David Morgan and Chuckie show Friday night, my DW was the one near Chuckie who sang Old McDonald’s “E-I-E-I-O“. She was wearing the Groucho Marks glasses. I might add she looked and sang beautifully!
Here is a partial list of our special friends who joined us on our cruise...

Glad you had fun, Coach.

You can upload the photo to any number of photo processing sites. My personal favorite is www.photoworks.com. You can share the photo and folks can order high-quality prints if they want.

Sounded like a fun time! Drop me a note Coach, I have a great deal of space to drop a picture or two in.

Hi Coach! Looking forward to seeing all the pictures of the group. Thank you so much for inviting us all in to see what a beautiful room you had. I am so happy that you got that upgrade!

We had so much fun on this cruise. You all have no idea how much of a great impact you had on dh Roger! We really enjoyed seeing new friends from the DIS onboard as each day went by quickly.

Ann, you made Rog blush with that "charming" comment....haven't seen that in a while !

Coach and Susan, you've given us great memories on such a short trip, thanks!

At least Rog isn't harrassing me each time I get on the board now! And he says hello to you all! (YIKES!)

Kris,
I know what you mean about dh's that think we are crazy to spend so much time planning! I was wondering his exact thoughts about meeting all the DISer's on our cruise but just like your dh, he truly enjoyed himself, even when spending time with all the crazy DISers! Tell Rog that I actually thought that HE was a DISER! Must have been those crazy looks I was getting
I would love to hook up with you all again some time! We could actually eat together next time! We have 3 cruises planned for 2003....but I know you have other vacation plans. Maybe in 2004 or 5???? There's always hope!
Ann
