January 19,2008 / Eastern Magic / "The January Thaw Cruise"

[plenam]

Hello fellow cruisers...as you can see by the countdown clock we have one year to go... so, who's planning tours? I think this time we're going to try the Atlantis Submarine Tour on St. Thomas. Anyone try it? Is it worth it?

Hi, everyone! My DH just gave the go-ahead for this cruise last night, but I haven't booked yet. My kids (DS will be 12 and DD will turn 9 during cruise) have 2 days that week off of school, so it looks like the perfect time. I'm glad to hear that weather can be very pleasant this time of year. This will be the first cruise ever for all of us!!

We have 2 days off school that week too! Where are you?

We're in northern Virginia - Loudoun County. The Monday is Martin Luther King Jr. Day and the Friday is a teacher work day for the end of the quarter.

 

[missyoh8]

Same situation here! I thought it might be funny if you were in our backyard.

Glad to have you with us. We are a family of 5......daughter 15, son 13, and son 9 at time of cruise. Traveling with my husbands parents and possibly some friends as well.

See you guys next year.

YEAH....less than a year to go!!!!!!!

Can't wait to join all of you, sitting on the deck, drinking a tropical drink, warming in the glorious sunshine. Can't you just picture that now!!! I shouldn't complain, in RI we are having our first snow of the season, and it is just a dusting. However, the air temp has decreased and the thought of warmer weather calls me!!!

Have a great day.

Where are you? Are you one of the unlucky mid-westerners who can't seem to get away from it.

We're located at the bottom of Lake Winnebago, which is half way between Milwaukee and Green Bay. We really have been having a mild winter, we didn't have any snow till ten days ago, and then we had thirty two days of thirty degrees or higher. Can't complain, keeps the heating bills down.

Yes, our heating bills have been pretty decent also, but as mild as it is, it is not the CARIBBEAN!!!!!

Hey everyone,

We just returned from the 01/20 Eastern and rebooked on board for 1/19 Eastern next year. It was a great cruise with fabulous weather. There will probably be some others on here soon because several people rebooked for the same time next year.

Let the countdown begin!

Welcome Mousefamily,

Glad to have you onboard. Nice to see that you had fabulous weather, last year at this time, we had great weather too, except for a cool (not cold) day at Castaway Cay.

We hear on the boards that the ships don't have unlimited internet anymore, just wondering if they started that policy on your cruise?

I just snagged two more families to go with us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We just booked our vow renewal!!!!!! Can't wait to go!!!!

I thought a little bump to our thread was in order.

good day to all my fellow cruisers.

Did anyone entertain any thoughts of booking any one of the repo cruises? I did, and was told I'd be neutered if I went through with it.

Brett

 

[chepic]

Brett: My husband would be shot if he even entertained the thought. I am the one who is in charge of the vacation book!!!

I wish I could just hit powerball and be lucky enough to go on repo and double dip cruises. I just have to be happy to go on the Jan. cruise and save up for another one 2 years later.

Well, at least it's Feb. and we can say it is 11 months from now!!
