LAST CALL for the 10/18/03 Eastern Magic Cruise!

[lilylulu]

Okay - thanks for the welcome. Should I sign up in advance for any of the island excursions - since some of you have been before - which do you recommend. I'll be with my DD8 (she'll be sticking to me like glue). We swim, snorkel, like to sail - shopping's not such a big deal. Should we just wait until we're onboard. Finally discovered the web site to sign up, so thought I'd ask.

How do you get your wine onaboard - is it okay to take it in a cooler?, or do you just do the wine service onboard?

Thanks,

 

[Snorgg]

Greetings everyone !
Here's a "stupid" question for the DCL vets:
What time is the earliest one can arrive to check in on the 18th?
Beano, thanks for the invite ! Now, just what kind of bubbly was that !!??!!
Seems the only lime green shirt I have is my Fire Department shirt! Will that do ? I went to 3 stores tonight, and no one has that color ! Not even Wal-Mart !

Who in the group said they had kids that wanted to meet others ? Kevin is 12-Keith is 11
Be well all !
Les

Les - Our son is 13, I am sure he would enjoy meeting your boys.

The terminal opens at 10:30AM, so you can arrive and check in anytime after that. They start boarding at 1:00PM; sometimes a little sooner.

lilylulu - Most people sign up for their excursions ahead of time. It can be done once the cruise is 60 days away. Therefore, excursions do fill up fast, so I wouldn't wait if I were you.

And Spud - Sorry, I didn't mean to rub it in !!!


(Yes I did )

I also have a 13 year old son who is looking forward to hooking up with kids his age. My husband and I have cruised about 10 times but this is our son's first cruise.

Good morning to all of you;

beanoc
I want all of you to know that snorgg is dreaming of lime green shirts. he was talking in his sleep about it this a.m..


This cruise won't get here fast enough, he is like a child in a candy store.
Trust me i am too, but some one has to stay focused and pack.
and organize the 2 ds's..

I told snorgg he needs to get his stuff together or he was going to look funny in his lime green bvds at the port.

My next step is to ground him. Have any of you ever grounded your dh's?

Time for work. have a gr8 day everyone..

 

[kamgen]

Good morning everyone! We leave a week from tomorrow!!! I am getting so excited I can hardly get any work done...well, what's new! LOL!!!


Welcome lily!!!! Glad you are joining our crazy group!!!!

 

[tarzanman]

What is going on here? Is no one excited about going on the cruise anymore?

HELLO OUT THERE!!!!!

 

[DMoss3377]

Sorry - swamped with work today.

But trust me....I'm so excited to be going on this cruise....no matter what my office tries to throw at me, 4:30pm, Oct 17th....I'm outta heyah!!! 15 DAYS LEFT !!!

 

[nicurnc]

Yes, yes. Very excited, but really must get off now and start working on DD's formal...

Perchinske - saw the post on meds, too funny!

Loretta


P.S. Look down there...we leave in HOW many days?

 

[Spud]

I AM EXCITED!!!!

but, I'm also VERY busy.

Perchinske-I'm so glad that you posted about meds. I'd totally forgotten about that. Like Kamy, I'm going to need to run to Wal-Mart and pick up some Bonine.

 

[Disneyana]

Woo-hoo!!!!!!! It's almost here, it's almost here!!!

I'm all packed and ready. My DD and I can sit outside on our luggage while we wait patiently for our airport cabbie to arrive 15 days from now. LOL. We can walk to 7-11 and live off slurpees and whoppers. I'm just too excited to stay home! Wish my husband felt the same way. He's bogged down with work. And not one single shirt, sock, or shoe is packed in his suitcase yet. What am I gonna do with that man?

Our plane arrives at 10:12 a.m. on the 18th from San Diego. There's nothing like flying with a three-year-old!

My dad keeps asking me,"And how many days do we have left?" He full well knows, but asks anyway and before I can answer him, he laughs and sings "15 more days, 15 more days . . ." I don't think he's had enough beer to drink yet. LOL.

 

[Disneyana]

Double post, sorry . . . Just a little overexcited, I guess.

 

[Perchinske]

No problem about the Meds thread. I am beginning to write my "list" of what to buy. Kamy, I look forward to meeting you and the rest of the bunch. I did go onto your website, so now I know what you and Tim look like and Beano and family..... Should be no problem finding you at the terminal!! You have done a wonderful job on Weight Watchers......

Well, snow was on the ground this morning in Cleveland. We have been having hail every day for the past 2 days. I am so ready.......

 

[kamgen]

Thanks Rena! Glad you checked out my site! WW has been my way of life all year... I am ready to eat! LOL!

I am excited too!!! I cannot stand being at work...the days go so slow!!! Seriously....I wanna go now! LOL!

Next Friday we leave and I am so excited!

Can't wait to meet all of you!

 

[nicurnc]

Snow!! Poor you in Cleveland!
And here I thought our 60-70 degree temps in NC were bad. Well not really bad, it's actually gorgeous outside, just not the usual slide into winter right from summer we normally have.

Sitting here fortifying myself with a cup of tea (it should probably be something MUCH stronger ) before I head out to the mall with DS who has told me he will wear a suit for me on formal night

Now I know this is always a debate, but I seriously was going to be very happy just to see him in a shirt and tie. But he said, Mom, this is your night, and I know you want it to be special. AAAwhhhh.... is that sweet or what?!

So now I have to help him shop

Loretta

 

[kamgen]

Loretta- That is so sweet!! Have fun shopping!!

Well, it was 31 degrees here this morning...had to wear my gloves!! I cannot wait for the warm sun, ocean breeze, and good times with good friends!

 

[DMoss3377]

I love Autumn, it's definitly my favorite season...especially because it's when we CRUISE!

It's getting pretty chilly here too. We'll get frost tonight and tomorrow morning, but no snow, yet. A friend told me that the Farmer's Almanac is predicting the worst winter yet.

Old Navy is having a sale, so DH and I are going tonight to see if we can pick up anything last minute. I've pretty much bought everything else I had on my packing list except the underwater camera I found at Target...have any of you seen this camera? It was a flash and you load it with 35mm film, just like you would any regular camera, but it has a waterproof case around it. It's pretty inexpensive too.

Disneyana - perhaps we'll run into you at the airport. I'll be tugging my 26 year old...hubby that is. LOL He's my only child right now. LOL

Okay, back to work....ugh...who can work right now.

 

[kamgen]

Dana- I am with ya! Who can work at a time like this??? Seriously, I am so ready for vacation and the cold weather just makes me yearn for CC even more!

We just bought a disposable Fuji underwater camera. We used it on our last cruise and it worked great...and it's cheap! Never saw the one you got, sounds cool!


Ready to cruise!

 

[BeanoC]

I'm ready now too, Kamy! I have an underwater camera too, so if we snorkel together, I am gonna follow you around and take pictures of your butt!!

Getting pretty chilly here, too. I think it dropped down to 84 today. Brrrrrrrr!!!



'Beano'

 

[tchrmom]

Whew!

Tonight was conference night, and teachers had to stay untill 8:00 pm. I'm tired! Then I come home and find I've missed 2 pages worth of posting today!

Wow! You guys were busy today.

I have a ds 11 (Steven) who is looking for a friend and a dd 8 (Kelly) who is also looking. Keep an eye out for us.

Can't wait to meet you all!!!!!
