I uploaded a ton of pictures and added the link to my signature. Check it when you get the time! :goodvibes
Lisa your pictures are so good!!! Boy, looking at your's I realize how many good shots I missed! :guilty: Thanks for sharing. :sunny: Hope you're all feeling better. DD got sick on the trip too. Couldn't figure out if she was running a fever or not, but fortunately she got to feeling better.

oh the dive was awesome! i haven't posted about it yet. i guess now would be a good time. i thought we weren't going to be able to go. as soon as we got to stuart cove to get our equipment i heard thunder. i thought, oh this is great, what a waste. but i guess it doesn't really matter (later my mom asked if they had us out while it was storming. i said yep i was on the bottom of the ocean). going out to the first site we dove out it was VERY wavy. and it was raining. first spot we dove at they called the 'bahama mama' there was a wreck. it was really neat. and there were lots of sharks. they asked if we wanted to see sharks everyone (all 6 people on the excursion) were like yeah! i couldn't believe it when i put my face in as soon as i got in the water that there were sharks swimming right under us. we were also at what they call 'the wall'. it's about 70-80 feet, but then there was this edge where the depth just drops off to some crazy depth. it was really cool. but we saw some fish, and the sharks. swam around the wreck and i held some weird looking underwater bug. i'm not sure how long we were down on the first dive as i didn't have my watch on for that one. when we got back up to head over to the next spot i had a little episode where i thought i was going to get sick. it was weird, i've never gotten sick in my life, and i've been on boats a lot. my grandparents used to have a boat and we'd go up to deep creek every summer. and this was my 4th cruise and i've never had a problem. i think it was probably just the change in going from the bottom where it was calm back to the surface where it wasn't calm. but i drank some water and sat at the end of the boat and was fine. then we went over to do a reef dive at a place they called the 'hollywood bowl' over by 'golden key'. the key gets it's name from the birds that live there and no humans are allowed over there. they call the reef hollywood bowl because almost every movie that has an underwater scene is filmed there. and the fish down there were amazing! we were only about 35 feet deep during this dive and we were down for about 45-50min. i knew the fish were going to be pretty but i never knew that they came in some of those colors! bright blues and teals. it was amazing! and the visibility on both of the dives was incredible. you could see so far. oh i loved it!
:scared1: :eek: :scared1:

That sounds so amazing!!! I wish I could do something like that. I was proud of myself for being able to snorkel at CC. :rolleyes: Glad you had a good time.

My kids never did run. They're going to die at practice today! :guilty:

I'll be your neighbors if you move to Celebration but I'll be 3 hours away (unless of course, I relocate to Cape Canaveral or maybe Vero Beach?!) I HAVE to be coastal and Celebration will be a pit to me in the summer. Come visit me at the beach y'all, k? :grouphug:


K :grouphug:

I felt it the whole time too and am still feeling it! :crazy: Never got sick, just feel like I'm moving all the time and my head feels "swimmy" (how do you like that made up word? :teeth: ).

I never got sick either and the swaying wasnt enough to stop me from doing anything!!!!

I want to go back!

Sounds nice!
 
I was so excited I got the green disboard Mickey head. It really was a nice suprise. It was so nice meeting so many of you and we had a great time. Thanks to Taeja for making the Mickey, It really made my day. We went to WDW for 4 days after the cruise and just got back to work this morning. BAH -HUMBUG Oh well the cruise was great.

Congratulations!!!!!!!!! I was nice meeting you as well. I loved the cruise one complaint-too short!
 
Holly,

Did you take pictures? If so I would love to see them.

We made our decision on where we are going on our next cruise in April! We are going to do a Western Caribbean trip! Tim wants to see Grand Cayman. I was so excited because we can do Disney again and get a discount. NOT! Disney is doing the Eastern during Kristin's Spring Break! Does anyone have any ideas of another cruise line I might be half as happy with?

Speaking of happy with Disney, the cruise went great and I loved it. I am not one to complain but I do have to say our assistant server was bad. I was very disappointed in the quality of service we were given. It was our drink waiter that was the problem not the head waiter. Our room steward was good not great. I did get my towel monkey so that made up for the negative. I will definitely rent a car next time and get to the port early. The check-in process was painful and we did not even get on the boat until 2:00. But with how many people they have to deal with all at once I thought they did not a good job at organized chaos.

Congratulations on your next cruise!!! Our room stewart was ok but not great too. We missed one of the Navigator but I picked it up and missed the Welcome home one but didnt realize till we were off the boat.

Nice meeting you, too! :wave:
 
Has anyone had any experience with DCL lost & found? We just realized that DD lost her new DCL nightshirt and we think it was left on board. It wouldn't be a big deal except that she and I each got the same one and she will be heartbroken when she realizes that hers is gone. :sad2: Anyone know which number to call or what to expect?

Thanks, Jessica. Glad you enjoyed the pics We're on the road to recovery, I think the meds are almost as bad as the illness (at least for me). :confused3 Ick!

Try calling the 800 number, if theres another number I'm sure they would give it to you. Never had any experience with them. I hope you can get it back! I know how important it is to be "twins" :wizard:

Thanks, I'll try that. When she was 2, DH gave us matching Pooh nightshirts from the Disney store for Mother's Day. The one he bought her was huge so she's been wearing it for years. She's just about outgrown it and we were talking about finding new ones when we found these "Cruisin' & Snoozin' " Minnie mouse nightshirts. I bought hers and then DH bought mine...she was tickled! Of all the things to leave behind, it had to be that shirt! Too bad we didn't leave behind her old washed out PJs! :sad2:
