Dream: May 22, 2011

[MTmomma]

MT , You mean you are retired ?

Oh Heck NO! My classes seemed to either have gotten WAY EASIER, or I'm tanking, and totally oblivious! I did a weeks worth of homework Sat night in 4 and a half hours, including the reading......... That and with Christmas out of the way, and the truck back and running (boo for a frozen solid radiator!) it SEEMS like I have a lot of time!

 

[Husurdady]

Hey guys! I'm new to the board, but wanted to let you know we will be on this cruise! We are so excited. We = me 29, husband 32, my mom 51, daughter 8 and daughter 4.

Anyway, can't wait for May!

HI TRAVEL w/2 , Welcome to our May22 , 2011 cruise,We are all happy you guys could make our cruise. Is this your first cruise with DCL?

 

[Henlady]

Travelwith2, Welcome to the Cruise. GAAAAAAGGGGHHHHH, I feel OLD - your mom is younger than me!!!

 

[Husurdady]

HENLADY , Your Don just told me that you was the best "chick" in the henhouse..........So dear don't feel old..........feel young. That's why when I turned sixty one, I started seeing my age in a different way..........my last birthday I turned 36 years old and my DW turned 26. LIFE IS GOOD

"LIFE IS NOT ABOUT WAITING FOR THE STORM TO PASS............IT'S ABOUT LEARNING TO DANCE IN THE RAIN".

 

[MTmomma]

Question, based on a current post in the main forum. Do we have a solid cut off date for our fish extender participation? I think we might want to consider it.......

This will be our first DCL cruise, but our 5th cruise and the kids 2nd. We did RCL last year for spring break. We are flying in Thursday and staying at the Nick Hotel because the oldest one keeps begging to be slimed..... On the cruise we booked in 7138. The girls are so excited about this cruise and flying for their first time.

Good Evening from sunny Florida everyone,
Had a rough day today. It only went up to 74 degrees with nothing but sun!
Hope ya'll are keeping warm up yonder.

BTW, thank you for your concern about our safety on our drive this weekend. We appreciate it very much.

We were originally leaving very early Monday, but decided to hit the road on Sunday afternoon after checking weather reports. Our timing was perfect. We caught only the very beginning of the storm as it moved into NC. Snow/sleet lasted about 20min then it was clear sailing the rest of the way. Had we delayed our departure any longer we would have been in trouble.We made it to Saratoga Springs at about 7:30am., and they had a room ready for us!

We were able to get over to the port today and see our "Dream" in person!
WOW! She is bigger than I was expecting and more beautiful than any picture can possibly convey. I parked the truck in the public lot near Rusty's right up against the fence by the water, and we sat in the bed with some take-out lunch from "Fish Lips". What a great way to spend an afternoon. She towered over us as she passed through the channel. Got some great pics to show you and will post them soon.

Thanks Again,
Jim

Awesome! Glad yall made it safely! I will take 74 over cold MT right about now!

 

[Johnny Quest]

I would think....Jim & PI , living farther east, they would be going down I-95 to Fl.

Yes, we took I-95 all the way.

 

[Henlady]

Jim & Family:
Glad you made it safely. I know 95 can get nasty when the weather turrns bad. How long are you staying in FL? You may just be lucky enough to miss this whole mess!! Poor you suffering thru 74 degree temps

Sounds like you had a wonderful afternoon at Port. Can't wait to see your pictures. I showed Don some pics online of how big the Dream looks and he was impressed...He did not realize just how big the ship was supposed to be.

You all have a great rest of your stay and a safe journey home.

i wish it was 74 degrees here.

 

[MTmomma]

*scratch that* our cruise is at capacity!

JIM , PI....................and what are cruisin friends for............and tell IRONMAN- MARK , we are all "PULLING" for him ...ok.

 

[Henlady]

Naomi - I noticed that our cruise was "missing" yesterday also, along with the 3-night that departs after us. But ours is back up today, and the 26th sailing is still missing. I wondered how the ship got sold out so quickly when there were plenty of cat 5A and all Cat 4's the day before.

HENLADY , Your Don just told me that you was the best "chick" in the henhouse..........So dear don't feel old..........feel young. .........

Thank you Don, and you know what?......that sounds almost exactly like something "my" Don would say.

We signed up to be added to the FE list for this cruise and have decided to postpone our "cruising" until April 2012 aboard the new ship Disney Fantasy. We've done so many 3 and 4 day Disney cruises we decided to switch to a 7 day Eastern Caribbean. I hope you all have a GREAT cruise and if someone would please take us off of the FE list, that would be great!

Thanks and happy cruisin!

Mary,
I will take care of that for you. We will miss you on our cruise, but have a great time on the Fantasy.

Thanks, Jim

 

[Johnny Quest]

Don,
Ironman says thank you for the support. This program is pretty amazing! I'm jealous. I'll have to read my age backwards so I can get in.

Mark will be working at the All Star Movie resort. That place is always busy. He's very excited.

Thanks, Jim

I think the kid's clubs are going to be hoppin' on our cruise! There is plenty of availability on the boat for groups of adults-only, but if you start adding kids the May 22 sailing starts dropping off the list . Looks like the clubs are nearing capacity!!
