are we for sure Noel cancelled? Maybe she just asked her ressie not be linked.

Noel and John were linked with us, granmaz, and pahrumpgirl until this am, then their names disappeared. As of last night when I pulled up our ressie their names were there, but it said that they weren't paid in full. I guess they could have asked to not be linked, but I can't imagine that Noel wouldn't have let us know she was doing this. We were planning on dining together and Palo's as well.

Big Brother starts tonight!

OH YEAH.....AI and BB on the same night.....I'm loving tv right now!

 

[Making_Memories]

That would be hysterical and even more so to see how many people know exactly what your point is! You could title it: "Remember this Magic?"

Oh my gosh that is soo freaking funny! and yes I think we all remember the special fishie magic!

When I was 22, I coughed so hard I "cracked my lung" and a small amount of air got stuck outside the lung (as I remember....long time ago). Went to the hosiptal and had to stay for a few days....BOY did it hurt!!

My mom broke a rib coughing!!

Ok all these coughing stories scare me! I never knew you could cough so much you could injure yourself so badly!

 

[LiserAnn]

Truthfully I'm just worried about Palo brunch and the kids club. We have a few excursions that seem fun but no final plans yet. We are going to the butterfly farm in Aruba but we are going on our own. Any suggestions? What are you guys doing for sure?

You won't have a problem with the kids club. Even if you can't get on to get them registered online that night, you'll be able to do it when the dust settles. I completed their online paperwork the next day. In Aruba we're doing a jeep tour...should be fun.

If you can get Palo's on booking night, just go there first thing when you get onboard...that's what we had to do last time and we got what we wanted for a group of 8!

On our November cruise, we paid around 30 to 35. Neither DD or I have very long hair, so it is more if your hair is longer or thicker. Mine lasted to the next day.

Here are some picks:

Do they let the younger girls in for an updo? My daughter is nine but would love one if she can. I know the salon we go to has an eight and over rule so I am hoping she can use the salon onboard.

 

[LiserAnn]

Lisa, do you have an approximate count of staterooms yet? I know that people are still coming on board but I would like an approximate count so that I can check on pricing for our Fish Extender gift to give to the others in my group.

Thanks ,

Carol

Hi Carol - right now I have 129 cabins on the list. I will be confirming soon if all those people are still coming.

I was thinking about this, only a couple of cabins would even hold eight adults, and Palo has 2 8tops for Brunch (2 more are used for the centre of the buffet) and 4 8tops for dinner, so who can book these on-line, hmmmmm....

makes you think, eh?

Sounds like the 1:00 p.m. show would be our only option. What time should we plan on arriving at La Perla in order to get a good view table? Do they serve lunch, or is it just drinks at that time of day? Thanks so much for your help, hope to see you at the pier! Missy

Dear Missy,

You are in for a treat, Acapulco defintely has much more to offer that one
single day could cover; regarding the cliff divers..you should arrive at latest 12:40, this way you should have enough time to be seated and start the buffet line just in time for the show, the cost is $16.50 per person including your choice of a Mexican buffet or 2 domestic drinks, all of the areas have great views, so no worries.

See ya on the pier...
that's where i saw buffet.

 

[lillygator]

They do not take reservations for the 1pm show, first come first seated, I recomend to get there about 20 to 15 minutes before 1pm to pay, be seated and order drinks or enjoy the mexican buffet. The place is very big, so you should be able to get a good location of you arrive a little earlier than the rest.

what is the deal with buying pure vanilla? Is this like a legal form of a drug or something?

 

[Making_Memories]

OK...

SO THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED...

WE FLEW INTO HOUSTON TONIGHT... STOPOVER IN BALTIMORE... A BIT ROUGH... PRAYED A FEW TIMES (GOD AND I ARE GETTING VERY CLOSE THIS TRIP AND I AM ALREADY FRIENDS WITH MANY SAINTS...)

MY SISTER PICKED US UP - LUCKILY AT THE AIRPORT CLOSE TO HER HOUSE BECAUSE MY NEPHEW WHO WE WERE HERE TO SURPRISE WAS ALREADY STARTING TO CALL FOR A PICK UP FROM SCHOOL.

HE'S IN THE DRAMA THEATER PROGRAM AND BEAT OUT ALL THE JUNIORS AND SENIORS FOR THE LEAD IN THE HIGH SCHOOL PLAY!!!!

MY MOM AND I GOT THIS CRAZY IDEA THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO COME DOWN AND SEE HIM PERFORM IN PERSON - I WANTED TO SURPRISE HIM - SNEAK INTO THE THEATER AND SIT IN THE BACK, BUT MY SISTER TALKED ME INTO COMING A FEW DAYS EARLY AND IT WAS A GOOD IDEA SEEING AS I WAS AFRAID HE WOULD SEE ME AND FORGET EVERY LINE HE WAS TO UTTER IN THE PLAY...

WELL HE WAS CALLING AND TEXTING AND WE'RE RUNNING LIKE CRAZY DOWN THE HIGHWAY TO GET TO HIM AND WHEN WE GOT TO THE SCHOOL, I GOT OUT AND STOOD BY THE TRUNK OF THE CAR WAITING FOR HIM TO COME OUT.

HE STEPPED OUT OF THE THEATER DOOR...

I SAID... "HEY STRANGER..."

HE STOPPED DEAD IN HIS TRACKS AND LITERALLY SCREAMED

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE???????????"

& THEN HE DROPPED TO THE GROUND.

NOT INTO DRAMA IS HE?????

I BENT DOWN AND WHISPERED TO HIM...

"WE CAME TO SEE YOU STAR IN THE PLAY!!!"

I PICKED HIM UP AND ALL I CAN SAY IS THAT THE KID NEARLY TACKLED ME TO THE GROUND!!!

SHOCKED IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT....

I THINK HE'S STILL IN SHOCK

(I DID MAKE HIM GIVE ME THE FIRST LINE OF THE SCRIPT OVER DINNER SO I KNEW HE STILL REMEMBERED HIS LINES...)

SO I GUESS I'M STILL AUNT OF THE YEAR...

I WILL BE SITTING IN THE FRONT ROW (I WAS TOLD I MUST BE!!!)

AND WILL POST AT LEAST ONE PICTURE HERE WHEN I GET THE CHANCE!!!

(OH, AND I BROUGHT HIM HIS FAVORITE COOKIES...)

Wow you are Auntie of the year! That is so sweet of you.

 

[LiserAnn]

Have all the people indicated they were participating in the Fish Extenders?

84 have said they'll have FE
18 have said "no"
the rest said "don't know"

Pretty much every one who's indicated they'll have a fish extender have also indicated they want to be part of a gift giving group.

Lisa (Calmom) I'm going to email you the list so that you can compare it to those that have PM'd you. There may be a number of people who've not contacted you but said they'd like to be in a gift giving group.

 

[lillygator]

I just want the FE to look cool!

 

[lillygator]

just kidding!

 

[JLSE50]

Some people think it makes baked goods taste better than what we can buy in our stores.

V, i have a tinkerbell one too. Will post a picture, as it is lime green and purple, and a different model then yours.

[LiserAnn]

I am still so darn exhausted. I can barely keep my eyes open. I still need some pixie dust and good thoughts this way. I have several issues that I am needing luck with.

V-here's some pixie dust and a big hug!

 

[lillygator]

Aruba and Acapulco, since we are docked until 9:30 is anyone planning on staying ashore later? We usually never get the option.

 

[MrsMork]

Could turn this into a game onboard. Something like hot potato. If you find the dreaded fish of doom on your door you have to "catch" them ie remove them by taking them off your door and sticking the magnet to someone elses door.

YES!!! Perfect for the door magnet tag game!! I love this idea!
