May 10, 2008 New Ship Of Thieves...May 2008 Repo Thread...Part 4

Word has it that no additional times for booking at 75 days will be available. We are first time cruisers and very disappointed at the moment. With 12 days before we can book anything by DCL we are now trying to decide what we will be doing. My son was looking forward to certain excursions, (pirate boat, sea lion swim, canopy zip line. . .) Hopefully he will take it in stride, he might even be fine with beach days.

Joseph

My advice is to keep looking at the boards and keep trying even after the 75 day mark. I think you will find that things will open up and you have to just be ready to grab them.

 

[Tink rules]

Now THAT would be funny. What size does he wear do you think? Maybe someone should do an iron-on, and if he shows up present it to him?

Oh Tom . . . (or Tom's Lackey) are you listening? (reading?)

I think with the amount of fish you need to put on the shirt... I'd say XL.... Just don't give him one of the beer boys shirts unless you get him socked and explain very nicely how you all got stuck on line trying to get the ressie to PALO that HE probably got!!!

Gee at first I was thinking potato chips, and wondering what the problem was. Not a poker player here, so I don't know any rules. Why would they care though? Would it keep people from Bingo?

Play with pretzels and they won't mind.. and besides... my mom is going to be doing bingo 24/7 so they won't miss you guys...

We could 'decorate' his SR door with sll our DCL fishy magnets! That could be 100 magnets.

Enjoy your snow day John.

500 at least..

Hi V....how are you feeling this morning? Still stressed and exhausted? I thought you were going to have some good news to tell us soon. Then we hear about all the problems with the cars. That's not good news. Are you feeling any better and getting any sleep?

Valentine's Day with the girls sounds like so much fun.

I think her car is having a puppy...

I like the idea of putting fish heads on Tom's door. They should be in green so he knows where they came from!

Like they're going to let US know where he is!!!

 

[Ginamarie]

Night guys! WAY too tired to stay up late tonight.

 

[calmom]

Lisa,

You were on the list twice, LOL.

Pj

Correct, when the final group list is faxed any individual ressies of the same type will be automatically canceled by DCL.

Can I be taken off the list for now? I'm not sure what we will do with the Palo's meals....

Lisa (Calmom) I am so glad the funeral was touching and a tribute to the wonderful women your grandmother was..and I am so THRILLED you are coming with us!!

Thanks! I am thrilled too!!

Like you guys need a reason to drink!!!



Lisa...

In your travels..(not literally...) can you please post the names of the people who are on the teams, etc for the fish extenders?

Thanks much...

Will do - I think PJ put it on the website, but I haven't been back to check in. Also, I haven't updated it yet.

Almost 16. Life span for border collie is 12.

Hey tracy, I think we need to copy your abcs as they are really good. only question I had now was about the tracking down in B. I don't think we want to be a trackin...fish mail or not in was my guess.

This is great...also note that the mini-navigators will note those who are participating in the fish extender gift giving with a little nemo next to their name. Linda (seaulater) is making those up.

Lisa/LiserAnn are you reading this.....Marilyn wants to say yes to gifting and yes to fish extender available.

That about covers it Marilyn. The right Lisa will take care of it. Ha Ha

I'm not the keeper of the master list for fish extenders (I don't think!). I am keeping a list of teams and people that want to be a part of a team. I know my PM box is full, and I need to ask for a few days since I have been out of town. I will be able to get to this soon - and if anyone would prefer to take over, please feel free. I have no set ownership on it! But I'm happy to continue and finalize the teams. I think my March 1st, the teams should all be set and anyone joining after then, will need to do it on their own. It will be difficult for me to keep rearranging teams. Does anyone have thoughts on that?

I am VERY behind and not sure I will be able to catch up. Please feel me in if there has been any changes or major things! Did Noel ever pop in?

We know he would be in a Cat 1.

My Cat. 1?????

 

[mommyto3princesses]

Also anyone on the list that has made extra special friends with fellow Diser and have preferences for brunch companions, please e-mail from the website or via my user name. These will be shaded out and only used for grouping you for brunches.

Pj

I feel like I am doing bid matching for sorority rush all over again, lol. (those of you who have gone through a sorority rush, know what I mean, lol)

 

[gaylean93]

You can count my DH in! He plays poker w/ his friends every other Friday!!!
Thanks for doing this. Just PM me and let me know when and where.

Can you PM me because I tried to PM you and it isn't letting me. I wrote your name down on paper but I would like to have it saved in the computer. We have a few people now so I'm going to PM everyone to see what is a good time. So start thinking about it everyone.

 

[LisaG520]

Looks like a pirate.....

Congratulations

 

[Tink rules]

We know he would be in a Cat 1.

He wasn't last time... I think spending 2 weeks sleeping in the atrium would get him enough "exposure"

Well,

My sisters dog ate the entire contents of an Easter basket once - chocolate bunny and all - oh yes, AND he ate the foil the kisses were wrapped in. Didn't get sick at all! We were just waiting, but nothing.

He was looking for the Peeps...

 

[nskjerven]

Kathe,

I don't even have a dress yet so your doing good. I think anything nice will be fine. Myself and DD(11) is who I am stressing about. The little one should be fine. That 11 year old age is hard to find for.

I'm having a problem finding a fancy fancy for Molly too.

 

[nskjerven]

hwo do you negotiate car prices? I have no clue!

V, look on Carsdirect . com I think that's how Paul priced his last purchase.

 

[Tink rules]

PJ....

CAN YOU PLEASE PUT THE EMAIL INFO (THE ONE TO BOB IGER) ON THE WEB PAGE ALONG WITH THE NUMBERS FROM JOHNS CALL FROM DCL??? JUST IN CASE SOME OF US 75 DAYERS NEED TO CALL AND GET HELP, I'M AFRAID THAT THIS PART OF OUR THREAD MAY BE CLOSED BY THEN...

THANKS...

 

[nskjerven]

Well, time to wrap it up here at the old station. Oh hey, here's some info on NEW episodes for NBC shows:


NBC ANNOUNCES BROADCAST RETURN OF SEVERAL SCRIPTED SERIES WITH ORIGINAL EPISODES IN APRIL

Thank so much for the info

 

[nskjerven]

Princess Costumes are seen at Formal Night. Does DD-11 have a princess dress?

Jan

I think our 10-11 year olds are not in those size ranges anymore.

 

[nskjerven]

On a completely different note, I was looking at the formal wear available for rental. I'm really disappointed. If we're going to do formal wear, I really want to do tails, not just a dinner jacket.

Anyone know if they will do "specials?" I have my heart set on a set of tails.

My son will be wearing tails too

 

[gaylean93]

Alright so I caught up finally and I'm seriously afraid to go to bed!

Please PM me if you want to play poker. There were a couple of people that just posted replies and I'm worried I won't get them if I can't read for a day or two. So far we have six people including DH and I which is enough to play but more are welcome. Only one person has stated what they prefer as far as games. It sounds like a Texas Holdem tourney with a $10.00 to $20.00 buy-in. Does that sound alright to everyone else? I'll PM everyone interested in a day or two. I would love to get a few more people.

 

[Tink rules]

i am in the proscess of seeing how much 50 of them would be. Any intrest????????

surf2di4

I think that we should have lime green shirts with the fish on them.... no extra comment so we don't all get tossed off... Just remember... Sit in Deck 9... first sea day... bring drinks...

Yes, I understand that also website is a living nightmare too i think over 1200 on line? I never see like that before.

Hope you manage booked it now.

Scottishwee35

Does anyone else find it shocking that some excursions are really sold out already? I guess it shows how many repeat cruisers there are on this ship.

If there are no excursions left at 75 days... THAT IS DOWNRIGHT WRONG!!! I'm going to begin to wonder why I'm on this cruise then... then I contact my attorney (John1???) and go class action... With my luck I'll win $1 and it will cost me .99 cents to fight it!!!

 

[nskjerven]

nskjerven 144
HollyTyler 127
Mom323 120
granmaz 110
MrsMork 99
Jhalkias 84

Yeah Queen of the Blabbermouths makes it to the top of the list

 

[Tink rules]

Well my all time favorite movie is on "Quiet Man" got to go.

WOMAN OF THE HOUSE... WHERE'S ME TEA!!!

hi guys, just popping on to catch up.....I have a dilemna--got an advanced copy of Jodi Picoult's new book at work today. now do Iread it now or save it for the cruise?

go throw it in a plastic bag and put it in the freezer... behind the frost bitten old piece of chicken and the old Ben & Jerrys you've been meaning to eat... and also put a note with your packing stuff so you remember to defrost it before you pack it...

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can you believe someone would pay this for this?????????????
Get out your machines ladies!!

THEY PAID $736 FOR THAT????????????????????????? Sorry.....it's nothing more than aplicayed (I know it's spelled wrong...) quilting on clothes...

 

[txtwins2000]

This is an impressive list of folks, now it's time to show yourselves. I want to see your smiling faces on PJ's website. Now that final payments are in and we know who's really coming, get those photos posted on the website. We want to see what you look like. C'mon. Pretty Please?

How do you post your photo on it? Just let me know and I'll put ours up!

 

[nskjerven]

Will I be kicked out of the Smartie Club if I say I like the pink ones the best?

Why no Queen Lisa you are a queen and therefore you can choose whatever color is your favorite.

Pink is my 3rd favorite, yellow is my 2nd and white 1st. I guess green would be 4th as long as you are all asking
