OMG... Lori if you think the veranda might bother you the you might like the navagators veranda and the room right next to Jen's is open... I think they might be a little deeper as well... 7622 All three of us together!!!

Jackie-
We had a Nav. Verandah last cruise and we liked it, but want to try a regular one this time. DCL wouldn't let me upgrade to a regular verandah last time because we got the cruise for free....

I would maybe change to your old room, but I'm kind of liking the fact that the verandah we have now is extra big! tee hee.

UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I just lost my job! For those of you who knew, my company lost a hostile takeover battle last month and my boss was on the Board of Directors. They dismantled the board and she left the company (right before we left for vacation).
I was moved into the Legal Department to assist there as they needed help and I worked very closely with the lawyers anyway.

Although no one in the company knows what will happen, the new Chairman said he didn't want to change anything for NOW...(whatever that mean).

That all being said, one of the old chairman's secretaries as let go while I was in WDW and also his driver.

I am in a bit of shock as I thought I had at least until the end of the year when budgets were going to be adjusted etc. I was told when I was let go that I was moved into Legal as a favor to my old boss but that there is not any room or $ for me there...

In any case, I got 2 months severance, but the COBRA is $1100 a month!! With my type 1 diabetes, I need insurance, so now have to figure out what to do...

I will think positively about the cruise for now, I just won't be able to make any payments as I had planned to do. I might not post as much either unless I get a new job or a long term temp assignment or something...

Thanks all for listening!

That stinks! Hopefully you can find something soon!
I am now going to go hide in a room with no computer, phones, etc. Today is a total "bad news" day. You lost your job, a dear friend's father passed away, and my son was in an accident up at school. (Thank God he's fine. He was on his way home and was rear-ended.) He's probably not coming home after all I just hope the rest of the day is filled with GOOD news!

Sorry you lost your job... That's a bummer that it happened sooner than you thought. Hopefully you will be able to find something soon.

 

[StarGazer99]

Lori, I am sooooo sorry. Passing you positive thoughts and good vibes with your talents and great personality you'll have another job real soon!!!!!!

 

[StarGazer99]

This has been such a crazy day.. I worked all day and we were slammed and I don't know why... It was not a Halloween rush but when you go to the grocery store and the store manager himself is bagging you know its bad (and funny). I'm becoming a witch in my old age. I've worked there 20 years and though I've slowed down over the years I'm still a pretty damn fast checker (at least my numbers at the store say so.) We had some nasty people that didn't like the wait. Thankfully our store was way over staffed and it still wasn't enough, those people can bite me especially the regulars who visit more than once a day and know what our business is like.

I came home so exhausted and went to lay down with Jeff for a little bit. Ended up waking up a little while ago with Jeff getting ready for work. I thought it was morning but didn't know what day it was. Poor Emma ... I don't why she didn't wake me. I never fixed dinner and found her sleeping on the couch.

I lived in Syracuse for 7 years and went to Syracuse University! I still go up once or twice a year too! I have lots of friends still in Syracuse and in the surrounding area!




Jackie-
According to the Passporter diagram, your room's verandah looks the same as all the others, but the room next you (which is the room we got, but on the other side) is smaller due to the shape of the front of the ship.

I'm going to ask about 7634 though!

That is cool that you use to be in Syracuse. Small World I guess. We see people with SU hats on all the time when we are in WDW.

I am so sorry to hear that you lost your job. What a bummer. I will be thinking about you and hoping it works out for the best.

OK I have a surprise! It needs a LOT of work, but here is our web site!

http://sites.google.com/site/crashinthecaribbean/

Let me know if any information is wrong or you want to add to it. Any suggestions on changing the site is welcome.

Thanks!

JenGC- the site is so cool! Thanks for doing that! It will keep things so organized for our group. I wish all the cruises I was going on had that.

Add me to the FE list for sure. We will see about the other activities. Also, we booked a gty for now but we are planning on upgrading soon. We need to pick a good location. I guess I will look on deck 7!

 

[shwarren70]

So, I was browsing the cruise magnets to see what new ideas are over there, and somebody on this board, who shall remain nameless, is already requesting magnets for this cruise! LOL!

"Yep. Yep. Yep." as my little Luke would say when I've asked him if he did something. LOL!

 

[shwarren70]

Hey, Jen, for the website, can you add an "E" to Aubrey's name. Also, we will plan on doing Palo's one night, just obviously don't know which night yet. We plan on doing the FE too. Did I send you my ressie # to get you to link us? Also, we will be celebrating Aubrey's 9th birthday on the cruise. (well, actually her bday is Jan 7th, but the bulk of her present will be this cruise).

Thank You!

Can you tell I took some days off? Sorry about that! Going crazy at my store but I feel a lot more caught up. Hopefully it can hang in there until the 12th (when I take some more time off).

Anyway! All changes have been made. Thanks for letting me know!

Caz, High Tea and Brunch are reservations that you can make at Palo's. Brunch is where they have a type of buffet of things to eat. And you can also order an entree as well. I dont sum it up well. This is from my trip report. http://www.disboards.com/showpost.php?p=38560041&postcount=165 about half way down in the post, you will see some pictures. I did a really crappy job with pictures but I think you can get the idea. There are also one picture of the high tea. That is where they give you a selection of amazing teas, then they bring you finger sandwiches and assorted desserts. It was good, but I liked the brunch better.
