The $3-5 limit sounds good. But Gees, I'm from oil country & I thought I'd bring you all a small bottle of oil!

First time I think I've ever been glad for the TSA regulations against liquid cargo.......

Oh and PJ - great pirate look! Does anyone know how to post a poll???

Thanks! Just start a thread like normal and then after you post it you can add a poll. Does that make any sense?

Bracelets should be in any day now. I told them I needed them before the 1st. If anyone wants them beforehand just PM me your address and I'll send them. Adult and youth sizes. No $$ necessary will try to post a pic once I get them - try being the key word - I am technostupid.

Tell me more about these bracelets....
what do they look like?

 

[Worktoplay]

OK, $3-$5 is good for me! I have no great ideas so far, I don't think customs will allow me to bring Philly Cheesesteaks. Hmm...I'll come up with something!

I third the motion for mini teen club for 12 year olds!!!

Welcome Diane & family OhLawyr2 clan

Hi, We will have a 12 yr old DD on this cruise as well...We need to create them their on Dis Thread to talk to each other!!!

 

[Worktoplay]

Patricia,

Great idea, now that its getting closer I think the kids would enjoy talking to each other.

I know I've asked this before, are any of the kids out there bringing pins to trade or are they bringing their collection? I'm trying to talk my son into just bringing pins to trade but he'll be mighty disappointed if others have lots of pins to show.

Hi Steph,
Count us in on the gift giving

 

[taysmom]

We are not bringing our pins, but we're not big pin people either. I, of course, want some cool transatlantic pins, and will probably buy any of these "special" cruise pins, but did you see they are charging an 18% VAT on board on all purchases! Crazy.

3-5 sounds good to me. Guess i'll need to find blink light gg key chains. Did you know that the other day was the bridges 70th anniversay. FYI.

Here's the list so far:
Auntsue1, Taysmom, Disney Lover Linda, Purtypat1, OHLawyer2, Worktoplay, Princessjasmine, Vtiffany, Pillow, Lisatex, Silver7, Maria Hellwig, Skallywag, Jeff Spencer, WVMD and Wonder.
Cykojoe..are you in..I couldn't tell.


We grow fast!

Steph

 

[Worktoplay]

Steph,

I did not know about the 18% VAT, I thought everything on the ship would be in dollars. Can you fill out the form at the end of the trip and send in the receipts to get a refund of the VAT or am I just wishful thinking?

Marie

 

[silver7]

Cykojoe is not on our cruise, he just wishes he could be on the COOLEST MED CRUISE out there!

 

[taysmom]

I don't know about that...I read about it or listened to it on icunurse's blog. I think it was on her podcast. Her voice showed the surprise to that and she suggested that you buy whatever you need onshore. I think I'll call dcl and find out...more info to come.

We also have a DD12. It would be great to get them e-mailing before the cruise.

 

[dylan'smom]

Hi! We are going on this cruise too -- so happy to have found this thread!! It's the 3 of us -- me (Bev), DH Gary, & DS Dylan, age 15.

Sounds like you have lots & lots of plans so far & I don't know if I'll ever catch up, but just wanted to subscribe to this & hope to get to see some of you on the cruise. I haven't posted here for ages too, so don't really even remember how to do it very well..... But thanks for all of the great tips I've read so far & I'll keep going back -- wow, so many pages of interesting stuff for our cruise!!!!

Also, just found those cool skull t-shirts from one of your posts -- thanks!!!

 

[silver7]

Hi Dylan's mom and Booklover!

Dylans mom I have a son who is two months shy of 15 that will be going on the cruise.

Booklover--what reading materials are you bringing? It looks like we will have tons of time on the buses going to the excursions!

What rooms are yall in, where are you from. . . you know we want to know the usual questions!

 

[auntsue1]

Welcome to our not so shy group! Sounds like you've been reading our postings so you probably know about our group get together. Just send LeiLani a message if you want to come.

Dylan's Mom good you got one of our designer t-shirts! They will be all the rage on the cruise!

I was thinking that last night that I would go back and see how many 12 year old young ladies we have so far. My daughters loves to email or IM and she will have nothing to do next week since school will be over. I will put a list and maybe we can send PM's to get them communicating.
