Just back from 2/21 Eastern

[woody64]

Just returned home last night from a great 2/21 Eastern trip. Just a few quick notes.

Our servers were Maclean(last week as he is now on his way home to India but will return), Melwin(india) and Paula(Jamaica). They were the best. We had PLA rotation which was great for formal(Sun) in Lumieres and Tropicali in PC.

Palo was great again. Marco(Italy) is the best. He brought 4 appet., 4 entrees and 4 desserts. Awesome, and no we didn't finish everything.

Racquel was the Cruise Director and Captain Thord. We liked Raquel but had Rick last year and agree with inkognito he is still the best. Entertainers were Michael Harrison(ventriloquist-great cabaret show), Gary Delana(comedian), Mike Super(magician) and a great juggler who I can't remember his name.

Weather was awesome! Sunny and 75 at sailaway(verandahman did you or someone else get photos? ), sunny and 85ish the rest of the week except Fri. at CC. At CC it was very windy(near gale force) and low 70's. Water felt really cold so kids played in the sand more. Sailing back to PC we had 15-20 ft. seas so we were a rockin but nobody had any problems.

We were in cabin 7042(midship) and loved it. Darn those free upgrades as now we don't think we can sail without a verandah!

Only excursion was St. John B&S and it was great. What an awesome beach and snorkling!

Met some great Disers and would run into them all the time. Nice to meet all of you and hope to sail with you again.

Any questions let me know.

What was your table number? We had the same rotation and Maclean was the top dog for us too! We had Zoran (Hungary) and Pema (India) as our wait staff. Our table number was 52.

How about the rockin' and rollin' we did coming in Friday night/Saturday morning? I was happy to have not packed one set of sea-bands in the luggage when the seas got rough around 11 PM!!

My pics are coming -- edited down to 291 from some unreal number! Going to edit down more then post a link!

No question, Maclean made sure our 12-27-03 Eastern was flawless. Our servers were Roberto and Marin.
Last morning the early setting folks came VERY VERY late to final breakfast, so our table with Roberto and Marin was occupied. Maclean had us handled in about 30 seconds with a different table.
I'm lucky, none of the 4 of us is prone to motion sickness. We actually enjoy the rough seas, and don't need to take anything. We were told the 12-27 Eastern was one of the roughest in months, sorry you got roughed up the last night, but I kind of look at that as part of the cruise experience.

Woody,

I am glad you had as much fun as we did! We even re-booked for the Feb. 12, 2005 cruise! Whether we go or not will depend on how things went at work without me last week! I am hoping I was hardly missed! I didn't realize the waves were 15-20 feet on Friday night! I enjoyed the rocking while I slept!

Lisa,

I am sorry that we didn't get a chance to meet onboard. I kept my eyes open for you! I can't wait until you post your pictures! I will post some of our pictures too. My digital camera worked great (even the flash)! Thanks for your help with it!

Back to laundry!

Lisa,

We missed you too! I will post some pics smewhere later also. We were at table 8. As you enter PC it was down the right hand aisle about 2 or 3 server stations. We were at early seating. Post your pics and maybe I saw you a few times.

Gayl, congrats on rebooking! We decided to wait a year or 2 as we want to go back to WDW and we(more so my IL's) bought more DVC points to Sarartoga Springs. It was great seeing you and your family all over. How about St. John!

I had a hard time walking while leaving British Pub night at Diversions Fri/Sat because of the waves(or maybe the Sam Adams!). Can't wait to see everyone's photos!

Woody...so glad to hear 7042 was great. We are booked in that room for our next cruise...unfortunately it is not until April 2005. Sounds as though you had a great time.
