February 28, 2009 Bushwacker Banditos Magical Cruise

[cheflawrence]

Hi Gang

Well I already lost 9 of the 15 pounds I put on. I guess not eating 5 times a day will do that.

I talked to DCL last night about the bounce back and was told that the taxes for a CAt5 room for 3 people was only about $120.00 that's not to bad!!

I asked her about different dates and found out that the October 29th 3 day would be available. Great stuff, Hallowe'en on the cruise. I know when we were at Disney for Hallowe'en the DD end up with about 25 pounds worth of candy. I know because I weighed the suitcase that it was in!!!

Take Care

Oooh Halloween on the cruise sounds like a good deal.
DH and I are all up for a second cruise in 09.

My friends and family have looked at the photos for this trip and now are adamant on going on a cruise as a group at the tail end of 2010

I am back at work with the bit left over my chest cold, hope I don't make it worse by being here but I was feeling sooo guilty for being out yesterday, knowing my team mates had already been all alone for several days and the work load is insane right now, so I had to come in today.

BTW Photos of our trip are up and well... I warn you it is a TON of them
Here we go:

Here, Here and Here

Here we go:

I THOUGHT THAT WAS YOU!!! We were at lunch in St. Croix at Harveys and you sat next to us. I was too intimidated to ask "are you ChocoKat" but I thought so. I don't know why I had that feeling...

Sorry we didn't get to meet. I know Ron and Brenda were asking if anyone had met you all week. So you were in fact missed!

Looks like you had a great trip with all those pix!!

Ciao. Johnna

Donna I had to laugh when looking at the pictures Ally took. There are A LOT of your feet and legs. It's interesting to see things at a 5 year old level. LOL

How funny!! Glad she didn't get my rear end!

Oh man!
well we could say you sorta had lunch with us!
Harveys was yummy, we were pooped by that point, my FIL had taken us around the island already once and I was dying for food and drink, they had some yummy tamarind juice.

It gave us just enough energy to go on another round trip tour and to meet the family.

Well it was back to reality for me yesterday. First day back at work yesterday was not so bad. I was able to do my job like I had never left. When it comes to the bounce back, it may happen. If the wife gives the O.K. it will. (She is the finalcial genius in the family, hence why we can aforid our DVC) Overall I thought this was a great trip. Staff was great, food was great, Palo Brunch was to die for. Palo tea, the scones ( I really don't like them) to die for. Only thing missing was I never got a chance to meet you guys . Well maybe one day I will sail with some of you again. I love the pics that have been put up.

 

[Dave and Micha]

We had Roberto as our server for brunch. I had no idea the Palo servers are also in the dining rooms. I suppose they can only do brunch. Roberto really was fun!

Roberto was sent down the first week of our cruise to work as a head server because someone was sick.

Wow, I just saw them. Amazing. What a great memory that this trip will be. I decided to see if I did in fact gain weight on this trip and I accutaly lost a few pounds. Must be because of my stritc rule on the ship, never use the elevators.

I used the never use the elevators rule, but by the middle of the second cruise I used them lol

So for everyone who has had DJ Mike and DJ Dan as a DJ on the ship who did you find better. I liked DJ Dan better just because I talked to him more and he remembered me each time I saw him and I loved him singging Billy Ray Cyrus I mean that was amazing

I did like DJ dan, he was cool, but I need to be honest, I like DJ Mike a lot more.

I started liking DJ Dan more when he sang Achy Breaky Heart, omg that killed me two weeks in a row of that song with his accent was amazing. I know a lot of people on the ship that I talked to at the start of the week wanted DJ Mike there though

I think what is is for me, is Mike brings his own stuff, as well as what DCL has. To me he is just more fun. On another note. I just sent a email to DCL about the lack of enforcement of the 18 and up areas and the things that I personaly saw. I did this on the advice of a friend that works for DCL. My friend encouged me tell people to write in if anyone else noticed. I gave two things that were just bad. If you did see something please write in. Thanks.

In ways Mike is more fun, agree with you there. Yeah lack of enforcement of the 18 and up areas could have been better. I'll write in about that. Of course I think it was worse of the second week then the first week. I didn't see many kids go into the adult areas at night the first week the second week as I was heading down to Rockin' Bar D one night I was following a group of I gues pre-teen or teens. I swear I thought they were all like prob 10 or 11 years old and they were like "Let's go crash the adult night club" then one of them was like "Tina will kick us out". I got a laugh out of some of the pre-teens and teens on the second week. People in Rockin' Bar D prob thought I was under 18, I mean people that didn't work on the ship. I became friends with on of the guys in white who would show people seats and see if people were underage on the first cruise when he carded me so the second cruise I wasn't even carded

Wanda, The pillowcase and photo mat are FANTASTIC!!!!

I didn't notice anyone under 18 in the bars after 9 pm or at the adult pool. Maybe I was just having too much fun to notice.

Oh so you missed the mom and dad changing their five year old on a lounge chair at the cove in the middle of the day then.
