We are happy to share the logo with everyone! Thank you for adding it to the website page!

This would be great for a tshirt if possible and then could always have the countries listed on the back!

 

[denise]

is this any bigger?

the other is too small so I am trying again....

I think the logo is great!
As it gets closer we can go to Cafe press and use it or another logo for shirts and buttons. We did this in May for the PC cruise and our group all wore them on canal day.
Live about 15 min for rays stadium and swear I can hear them from here LOL
Glad to be off tonight and on the dis boards because the hospital has been crazy for the past few days after the games!

Congrats on the win, Rays got a great team- Good Luck in the Series!
Well be rooten for ya.

That sounds good, can do a pub crawl in viking gear!

And pillage the ale from all spouts! Sorry, I really like the sounds of pub crawling.

 

[denise]

sorta played with the logo and with the Viking Mickey I found....

 

[denise]

I'm not very good at it...the colors are faded and I just can't seem to get all the white border away....just an idea...maybe someone can make it better...

 

[DW2DH&DS]

Possibility?

I really wanted a viking - just can't seem to make it happen.

John & Carol - I added your logo to a "logo" page on the website - if that is not ok - please let me know and I will take it down.

I also added the pirate logo as well.

I like this...very cute!!!

 

[DW2DH&DS]

look what I just found

soooooo cute!!!

that is also very cute!!

I think this one is perfect. Also we can put Viking Mickey in the middle of the other logo surounded by the Mickey flags. Look how many door magnets we are all going to have!!!!

 

[DW2DH&DS]

OHHH yeah. I am all over Viking night rather than pirate night. Brilliant idea!!!!

For those asking about foreign coins as in St. Petersburg:

I asked a lady Barb (she's the one that went this summer) and this is her response:

Yes, that was me that went in July.

That is way too funny about being searched for coins.
The whole money situation is not as strict as people make it out to be. There are a few large banks here that do sell rubles, so it is possible to get some before arriving in the city. I think we brought home some coins, I'll have to ask DD when she gets home from school. We had some ruble notes leftover and gave them to our driver as his tip since it was just about the equivelant of what we were giving him in US$.

Actually the Russian banks are more strict about accepting US$ bills. It was in our guidelines sent by the tour company that we were to bring clean, crisp bills that did not have any writing on them or rips and tears. I made sure when I went to the bank at home to get very crisp bills and when I told the bank teller why she said she's heard that many times.

Morning, y'all. We have very tentatively booked rooms on this cruise. (It's so far out that everything is tentative and we have a reputation for changing our minds on vacations, but I wanted to post to subscribe to the thread.

It's the five of us -- me, SWMBO, DS (will-be-16), DS (will-be-13) and DD (will-be-8).

Could it be? Could I be sailing with the one and only??? Hi JR! Did you like your present? A mouse (AKA micsmouse) connects you and I. How was your trip?

 

[sharper_fin]

Maybe we should have viking night instead. A night of drinking and debauchery would seem fitting!

But we're not going to Tallinn!

 

[Keggy]

look what I just found

Yeah - this is the only viking mickey we could find too.

I added to the logo page! I can't remove the white box though.

Love it!

 

[denise]

I can't remove it either...not good at this and using a VERY old program... I bought Photoshope Elements but have not had the time to use it or even learn it yet....
I made the crest from a website called says-it.com
lots of stuff on it..even made a soda can and a concert ticket with our info...came out cute. Maybe someone out there can fix it up and get rid of the white box and fix the Viking Mickey one too??

I don't have that program either - if someone can fix it - can they make the flags the same size? I think it looks good with the viking! Unless we leave the pirate and change are name to Pirates Invade the Baltic Sea?

I like the viking though!

We tried the viking and it doesn't look right since it is 3d - if anyone can create one - we can add it.
