Thanks! I took your advice and posted it over there - hope it helps someone!

Okay here are a few pics from the previous days of my TR - finally getting through all the pics

First lets start with the strangest variety show I have seen on the cruise. First there was the lawn blower changed to mega man toilet paper blower.....then there was this:

What exactly you may ask, is that....well, the best way I can describe it is a man trying to prove he can climb into a balloon without popping it....ooops, yep you guessed it popped (no comments necessary here)

Okay next in our gallery we have one of the best views in the world. The view from Castaway. We found the perfect spot all the way down at the end of the family beach - plenty of open chairs and water

Next....mmmm....the best dessert, the souffle at Palo

Finally, here is one of my favorite towel animals - now our room steward, Felipe was amazing. He is the first one I have ever seen to us our blanket as part of the animal - more pics on that later! But this little guy - I couldn't help but laugh, if you are wondering what the black things are...those are my socks and his diaper is a napkin ....this guy hung around for our whole vacation - just watching us

What a great picture of what was his name in the balloon...something Fusion?! You must have been seated close to us because that is pretty much the same angle we had! We were in the front section, on the right side of the center section second or third row from the top of the section.

Love seeing the picutres! I'm reliving the wonderful cruise over and over again!

We were actually not far behind you - we were sitting in the second section front row - one of my favorite places as it doesn't cause me to have trouble seeing when the tallest guy on the ship sits in front of me (which ALWAYS happens)

OMG- the socks on the monkey!!

Awesome pics.

First, I want to say that I have figured out that this TR isn't going to be exactly in order. As I go through pics and my FE stuff, etc I am remember things I want to tell y'all - so please forgive me if I back up every once in a while!

So that being said, I wanted to share our very cool towel animals that Felipe created. I have to say, these are some of the coolest we have gotten - mostly because he used the blanket in building the animals.

So lets get started. The first night, we came back to find a very simple little shirt:

Next, we have the lovely Dumbo towel - well kind of. This little fella brought our invitation to the Castaway Club meet. (one thing I loved about Felipe is that he delivered all our Navigators, invites, etc right to the bed with our towel animals - I have had other room stewards who just throw them under the door)

Another slippery little guy was this one, who obviously needed to shade his eyes from the brightness in the room

Next was one of the most creative - I still can't figure out how he got the blanket to stay like this. I am starting to think my friendly towel family wore my sunglasses more than I did

The night before Grand Cayman we had a rascally little bunny stop by to deliver our time change card - and of course more chocolates!!!

One of my favorites was these lovely swans who took the moment to remind us of how far a little love can go

And of course who could forget this guy.....beware, I have a feeling he is still lurking someone near room 2088

WOW Just love those towel animals! What was your room number again? I think I'll switch to that room to get the cool towel animals!

We had Sameer too this time, and he was AWESOME.

We had Sameer also this is our second time with him and we have requested him for our Sept 12,09 cruise. His assistant was Gavin and he was good after the first night. Sameer is awesome and a great guy!!!

2088- loved the location by the way - right between elevator bays but not too close.

Yep, Sameer and Gavin - I was hoping to get him for my Nov cruise but he is going home So now it will be a gamble to see who we get

I have also had Rambo as an assistant he is now a server he is great also had Sammy he remembered us by name when he saw us this time and we did not have our dd name lanyards on when he saw both of us.

When in November is Sameer going home? We're on the Nov 1 Western, can I request him or will he already be gone? Would I do it now, or on the Magic? Sorry- it's my first time...

I think you may be in luck! If I remember, he is going home mid November - just give DCL reservations a call and have them add it to your ressie as a request - hope that works out for you! (tell him Shelly from the September cruise sent you!)

You crack me up!
The first installment has been done for a couple of days. I have been hesitating on it b/c I hate the character development, but it was a little necessary this time. I'm upolading some pics right now, and it should be up in about a half hour or so!!! The sooner I just get it up, the sooner I can just move on to the good stuff
