February 27, 2010 Eastern Cruise on the Magic

[nokidz]

Just saw all of the Canadians on the roll call - you can add that we are from Vancouver, BC if you want - this is going to be an official Canadian cruise I think. LOL

I think DCL should give us a Canadian Discount!!!!!

Well looks like we won't be on this cruise after all....my daughter is starting a fine arts high school next week and her spring break is March 6-13 and I figured 'what could they be doing at school the week before spring break? I will book the cruise for Feb 27th and give her a 2 week break....'

Well today I got a prelim calendar sent to me, and it turns out there is a TON of stuff going on that week, including her dance exams....EEK!
So I had to change it to the March 6th cruise, which I am not overly happy about because we did the western last year and really wanted to do the eastern......but I don't mind too much - we can just go do things we missed out on last time, and in Cozumel it was raining last time, so we didn't get to see much!
So you will have to re-delegate the fish extender person - so sorry guys!

So sorry that you cannot join us....but atleast yoou still will be cruising!! Nothing wrong with doing the western again. We are doing our second western in Oct 2010. It was raining in Cozumel on our first western as well.
Good luck to your little on and have a blast on your re-scheduled cruise.

Well, we are not from Canada, but we are only about a half an hour from the border between Detroit and Canada. I was just there last week for Bingo. Does that count for anything?

We are a family of four- me (34), DH (34), DD (3) and DS (9 months) from Rhode Island. Can't wait as this is our first Disney cruise, though this will be my DD 3rd cruise (first 2 on Royal Caribbean at 8 months, and 15 months) but it will be DS first! Anyone know how the weather will be? We are going to stay 2 nights before at the pop century so we can spend a day at the Magic Kingdom. Can't wait! Karen

Yes, they are our BFF's!!

Looks like our party just got bigger, DW's mother and father are also coming! It will be their first DCL also, I'll have to forward them this site and our posts, so they can read along and perhaps participate in the FE..

I'm starting to think about excursions, what are people doing in St. Maarten and St. Thomas?

As of now, I'm thinking about a snorkel and sail, since I grew up Sailing out here in California...Any excusions to avoid?

Oh, btw, DW and I will celebrating our fifteenth wedding anniversary aboard..

Since our flights are booked, cruise is in the process of being paid for, I'm trying to figure out what else I can do research on to be better prepared..

CONGRATS!!!!

Roll Call list has been updated...please check and make sure you are listed. Any addmissions, ommissions and modifications, please PM me and I will correct it.
Also, looking for someone to run the Fish Extender game. Any volunteers?

 

[seashell724]

I am wondering if someone will do the FE organizing too. I have never been on a cruise much less done FE's so I'd have NO idea where to start.

 

[nokidz]

We also have to start looking for a name tag for our cruise....any ideas?
Some people make t-shirts or signs or other stuff and use the cruise name. In the past I have made up logo's and magnets with the cruise names. Austin77 has even been on a cruise that bought those rubber braclets with the cruise name on it........

Anyone have any suggestions??????
