Hey, Fiona, Welcome Aboard! Rum or mint?

 

[ADP]

Didja notice the bottle of rum in it???

Oh Yeah! It caught my eye right away.

Just joining this thread as we've just booked the podcast cruise. I wanted to book right away but had to wait til my other half got tired of hearing me talking about it and said "why don't you just book it?".

Tracy - add us to the list please.

Fiona

Hi Fiona! I'm so glad you talked him into it. What did it take? Telling him he'll be cruising with me twice that year

It was actually me mentioning the podcast cruise everytime he mentioned the podcast (which he does listen to). I kept saying how great I think it's going to be and wondering what was going to happen and how great the podcast meet was in December and how nice everyone was and... and....

Eventually he just looked and said 'book it', so I did. Don't need to tell me twice!

I don't think it's dawned on him yet that it's two cruises in one year so we'll just keep that a secret for now.

For those of you not really aware of Fiona-speak, let me translate part of the last posting for you, supplying the 'edited out' material:

"It was actually me mentioning the podcast cruise [five, maybe six times a day, especially] everytime he mentioned the podcast (which he does listen to). [When he didn't mention the podcast, I kept it on the front burner by constantly referring to it in conversations, like how] I kept saying how great I think it's going to be [I'd really like to book it] and wondering what was going to happen [but it would be a *lot* better if we were there in person, because I'd really like to book it] and how great the podcast meet was in December [you remember that meet, don't you? Because if you don't, I can mention everybody's name and general physical description] and how nice everyone was and... and.... [I'd like to book it.]

I'm at the point were I can only roll my eyes so many times, and there's a real limit to the number of times I can avoid saying 'book it', but I think I do a really good job of holding out sometimes.

Although I really don't do all that good of a job. She may not have mentioned that in the past five years we've gone on three cruises and visited WDW nineteen times.

Oh, and I'm aware that we're cruising twice in one year. But she's not really aware of the fact that she's paying for both, but that's a secret also.

Y'know, Fiona, if you wanted to keep it a secret, I don't think posting it on the podcast boards is the way to do it!

 

[cdnmickeylover]

I was actually just waiting to see how long it would take Jim to notice that I'd posted on the thread and to see how long it would take for him to post and 'correct' me.

I will give him credit for speed on this one.

And he did holdout for a while on this one I will admit.

As to who's paying -- we have a year to argue over that one.

The secret part is that I haven't told work that I'm cruising not once but twice in 2009. The fact that it's Disney won't be a secret. Talked to a client this afternoon that I haven't spoken to in a while and his first words were "How are you, when is your next trip to Disney planned for?" My obsession is well known.

I might be going on 2 cruises in 2009. My DSister is talking about going on a cruise with the entire family to celebrate my eldest DNiece's high school graduation. There is her DH and 2 other DD's and they would be going with their best friends who's younger DD is also graduating. The girls are only 2 1/2 months apart in age. DS hasn't given any details yet. I'll try and point her towards DU at the very least. Not sure if they are going to go Disney this time. I'll try and point them in that direction too. 2 Disney cruises less than 4 months apart. I might be able to deal with that

SShhhhh

 

[disneyholic family]

i haven't been around for a few weeks - did the cruise schmooze ever get up and running?

i'd appreciate a PM if it has, as i'm very pressed for time right now so i'm not able to search through the posts..

thanks in advance!!!!

 

[SamIAm21]

Well, I did it! I pulled the trigger last night and DD and I will be on the Podcast Cruise! I haven't told her yet because she's only 7 now (will be 8 on the cruise) and that would be toooo long a wait for her. She'd ask me everyday, are we going yet, are we going yet?? So, I might tell her this coming Christmas or shortly after.

I'm very excited. And actually, I can thank the US Congress for our ability to go. That tax rebate thing is going to pay the majority of it! Hey, I'm adding to the economy aren't I??

So, see you in 15 months... Hmmm I wonder how formal is formal night? Can I wear jeans in the dining room?

 

[DisneyBride'03]

Formal or semi formal? Like pageant gown formal?? lol

 

[Disneybridein2k3]

So, that is 500 posts in 42 days which is about 12ish posts per day and we have about 445ish days until the cruise. That means that there should be about 5340ish more posts until the cruise. Can Bawb check my math? That is alot of fun coming our way in the next 14 months, 3 weeks, and 2 days!!!!

I post on the Cruise Critic board (well, sort of) and we are on post 540 but our Royal Caribbean Freedom of the Seas cruise leaves in Oct of 2008. To compare, there may be about 10 people who actually post.
