December 13, 2008 Western Caribbean!! Let's get acquainted!

[dweitzel0]

YESSSS!!! My DD11 and I recently made our way through all 4 books of the Twilight series in a matter of 3 weeks! She is in love with Edward... or at least as much as she was "in love" with Aladdin back when she was 5 yrs old! Fictional characters and all!
We definitely enjoyed the books, can't wait for the movie. Everything else was on hold while we read them!

Well my wife will be jealous that you are closer to Forks than she is. I showed her this post and it just might be enough to get her back on the DIS boards.

nice work on the FE's ladies.
has anyone done the seadoo eco tour on CC? just curious if it's worth the moolah! if i book it at 10AM, will i be freezing out on the water? i don't know how cool it gets in december...

i haven't read the vampire books, but DH and i just started watching the new series on HBO, True Blood, it's so ridiculous, normally i wouldn't waste anymore time on it, but it's so bad that it's actually hilariously entertaining.
can't wait for "the office" premiere this thursday!!!

can't wait for "the office" premiere this thursday!!!

I second this!
I'm not a big science fiction, vampire type person so I have no idea what you'all are talking about! I loved the Harry Potter books though! I can't get my kids to read them and I'm bummed!

dweitzel- Too funny about being close to Forks, WA... DD and I had to drive to Seattle yesterday and she kept saying "pretend we're driving to Forks!" She and I were in Port Townsend and the Olympic Peninsula last summer, it is BEAUTIFUL out there but very rainy!
I hope your DW wants to surf these boards a bit with us... we are only 12 weeks or so from sailing!

Huh, I forgot to check when formal night is... we booked Palo for that night. Maybe I'll switch Palo to Sunday? I sure like to dine with the kids all dressed up.

Hey Sommer- DD and I are going to do the Eco tour on CC at 11am. I hope it's warm enough! I haven't done it before and it does seem expensive for an hour, but reviews seemed to make it sound worth it.

We will be honeymooning on this cruise! SO excited ... The new hubby has never been on a Disney cruise and I have only been on the 4 day Bahamas one, so really looking forward to taking our honeymoon on this fantastic cruise.

Any other honeymooners? Any suggestions for couples who have honeymooned on here or celebrated something romantic?

 

[PenskeSth1]

Welcome cmw02j!

Did we decide where we are going to have our meet? Maybe we could have it at Diversions or the Promenade lounge? Isn't the promenade lounge by customer service?(I am drawing a blank here)

Andrea do we know how many people are doing the FE exchange and magnet exchange? Are you going to put a deadline on when folks can sign up? Just wondering...

I forgot to add CONGRATULATIONS!

DH and I are celebrating our 20th anniv. this cruise. We just plan on spending ALOT of quality time together ALONE! Quiet nights walking on deck 9, sitting on the verandah enjoying the view sipping wine, Our romantic dinner at Palo.

Marcy,
Yes, it does get great reviews, I hope the weather is warm! DH and SIL heard the praise and want to sign up now too!

Hi, glad to find this board. I'm Charliebeth, DH-Jim, 1st time cruisers. We are traveling with DD-Kathie, SIL-Chad, GD's Katelynn 9 (10-May)and Hailey 4(5-Jan). Just finished reading the posts. Looking forward to meeting everyone. How many are in the magnet and FE exchange?

 

[KATIESMOMMY]

Hi and welcome Charliebeth!! I have a DD the same age as you GD Hailey who will be on the cruise with us!

welcome and congrats to cmw02j! I think you are our first honeymooner!

Caseys Dr appt is this afternoon for his heart which since I havent heard anything yet about, I assume is a non issue and the surgery is Friday on his face, so am keeping myself occupied on here!

 

[Stinasmom]

Welcome to our new posters cmw02j and 1char!

I have added you to the first post where our current roll call is. The first post also has information about our FE exchange.

We had a cruise meets at the Promenade lounge for our other 7 nighter and that worked fine. There was plenty of room for us all to stand or sit and it is centrally located. It is on deck 3 between Lumeriere's and the AFT elevator lobby. Unlike the upper decks 9&10, there is usually no one else at this time there except the bartender , and yes it is an all ages space.

Thanks grumpy-gramps for the heads up on formal night. I was able to change our Palo ressies for Sunday night so we can have formal night with the kids.

Luce- fingers crosses and all that for your hubby!

My dryer took the big poopie, at least we have household insurance, it will only cost $100 max to repair or replace!

Great news (well except for the dryer). I keep waiting for mine to take a dive so I can get a new one. I swear I try to kill it and it just keeps running.
