May 10, 2008 Ship of Thieves...May 2008 Repo Thread...Part 7

[nskjerven]

The deck 7 aft and deck 8 aft rooms have these wonderful verandahs that wrap around to the back of the ship, you could get at least 20 people on them. I think I have pictures somewhere!

I thought that picture you showed had that. What cat are those rooms??? What SR # are they?

I am being kind to the QOW, if she is flying in for her b-day to d-land, I was wondering if she was flying into Burbank or into John Wayne, or LAX. If she was flying into Burbank, their is a possibility I could honor her request for a mini meet and to be greeted she came off of the plane with a smile, a hug, and some smarties, as befiting royalty and royal events.

If it is your birthday, when at CA at the tortilla factory they will give a whole package of their tortillas if you have a birthday pin. You can get the birthday pin at guest relations or any shop by the front entrance. The tortillas are well worth it! Have a Happy Birthday! Heather

The pin I knew the tortillas I did not, I will make a trip there, I love 'em

How did I miss that the first time???? I didn't think you were asking me, I thought it was another...

Smarties....yummmmmm

We arrive Burbank I think 7:10pm (Aunt and Uncle live in Pasadena, we'll spend one night with them) and depart SNA hmmm 6:15pm????

We are talking with my Aunt tomorrow about our plans. We thought we'd spend the night with them on Thursday, but unsure until we chat.

I see that you are in Burbank itself!!! Once I get the plan with Auntie I'll let ya know and we can figure something out.

Maybe drink that night or coffee the next morning???

Since our flight is getting in later than expected on the 9th I am thinking of switching from the CI&S to the Raddison. If I prepay I can save $38 plus transportation to and from Fishlips. We will take a cab to the port, too much confusion doing the shuttle. We lose the free b'fast but Brent is the only one that will eat. My dh says it's not enough money to switch but I'm not sure.

We stayed last year at the Raddison and we were very surprised by all the cruisers other than Disney that were all lined up for the shuttle. We also had a rent a car so we just let budget drive us to the port, much calmer than the mess at Raddisson. It just seemed very unorganzied.

 

[nskjerven]

Gotta go get the girlie and her friend to sleep over here tonight and get those groceries I never got since I never left the couch today (ok, only for a shower) and yes I got dressed )at 4pm.

Back at ya soon,

N

We are booked for Palo's brunch that morning.

Maybe we could turn up for that in our PJs?

You could by for the photo since you are up for "Food"!

I have a premliminary design for the whiteboard:
http://home.earthlink.net/~cpsnyder/Cruise_WhiteBoard.htm

Does this work? The ship in the middle is much fainter when printed. They are 8/12 x 11". If this is alright, I will laminate them and attach pens.

So far I have the following volunteers.
8058 - nskjerven (Nan)
7043 - mousefaninQueue (Ken)
6??? - edna_mode (Kelly)
5524 - amesmom (Lori)

Still need a volunteer for deck 2. If readyalready wasn't trying to move her room away from the laundry that would probably be an ideal location.

I will do 6 boards. That way if it turns out we need one for deck1, I will already have one made. Otherwise it can be considered a spare in case one goes missing.

CUTE!!!!!

And you may have a pile of chocolate on your floor

That is a possibility. I will test it at my moms, she has a thing in her floor where you lift a flap and sweep in the dust and it suck is up. Otherwise my cats would try to eat it. I wanted to try cat litter too but she said no I will try that when I get home.

 

[Tink rules]

Wilson made a can phone in school, it was so cool, they loved it, just like we did we when were kids...

I never use the web for ressies for Dland Hotel, just call. I've found the web more costly. How much is your room at GC?

An arm and a couple of legs... I will call tomorrow and see what I can get...

Sir Steven...

The Queen of the West will be visiting Royal Family in the Hamlet of Pasadena... she requests that you meet possibly for some ale or other drink sometime during her stay...

How do you say?

QOE....

Sorry you are not feeling well. No wonder I haven't been able to get ahold of you on the phone. Keep getting your voice mail. Busy today with Jamie's dance competition. Are you still going to CA next week?

Been a week here on the westside of town. Tuesday Mom fell and sprained her ankle pretty bad. Wednesday Alex took me into urgent said I had pneumonia again and had to peal Alex off the ceiling. So they gave us drugs and sent me home to rest. Thursday night starting to worse like really scary worse. Alex said i will take you back tomorrow just keep taking the meds so they have a chance to work. While we were getting ready to take me back my mom calls and says having a heart attack. So kenzie stays home with me last night, and alex meet them at the ER. he was there until the wee hours of the morning today, but when he came home and heard me. He took me back in. The doctor said I don't have pneumonia again but a serious sinus infection and if they had a good exam they would of seem it. She was even disgusted by her fellow colleague. So we came home today with more meds. The cough syrup is working but man its every four hours on the dot. Took all my doses of antibotic don't feel much difference in the breathing ability.

Now alex is off to work, mom's at the hospital with dad and i can't leave the house. The phone are all turned back on since dad went back into the er so i am answering all incoming calls landline and cellular. So my prayers with the man above have been a little harsh these past twent four hours.

I am suppose to meet the property manager company about the renter renewing for another year. I am hoping that i will be able to travel out to LA for that by next monday. Are you guys going out?

 

[CruzDirectorKaren]

Just remember....as a dis'er, you will have the OFFICIAL MINI NAVIGATOR!

IN THE MINI NAVIGATOR THERE WILL BE A LISTING OF ALL THE DISBOARD'ERS AND THEIR STATEROOM NUMBERS. NEXT TO THEIR STATEROOM NUMBER WILL BE A PICTURE OF NEMO IF THEY ARE PARTICIPATING IN THE FISH EXTENDER EXCHANGE

If you use your Mini-Navigator, that will be all that you need to deliver and receive your gifts!!!!!

THAT IS WHAT I AM PLANNING ON USING!

 

[Mom323]

Ok... I'm loading up the ipod with some music for the cruise...

( Can you tell I grew up in the 70's & 80's???)

Anyone else planning on music?

CCR
John Denver
Peter,Paul and Mary
Queen
Chicago
Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young
The Eagles
Beach Boys

 

[Mom323]

Also, please keep in mind some people may not have a FE, it may be a gift bag hanging off of their metal fish.....

As long as I get a list of the cabin numbers that are participating, I'll be okay.

YES, DECK 10 FORWARD, MEAN AND PUSHY!

Deck 10 forward-people slept out all night in lounge chairs. Around 4 a.m. the lounge chairs started clearing out, deck 10 forward was STANDING ROOM ONLY, NO CHAIRS. People were there by 5 a.m. and it was PACKED!

Deck 10 midship-more casual, same with deck 9. Just remember, EVERYONE was out for the first locks, then it settled down because it is a slow process going through the locks. Deck 4 is also a great place to be because you can get some shade and also the verandahs. Alot of people headed off to breakfast after we actually got into the locks.

Also, DCL put up a big white tent cover over the basketball courts on deck 10 so there was shade at the front of the ship, but if you were in front of the forward wind shield glass thingy, there was no shade but it was 5-10 people deep everywhere trying to take pictures. It settled down once we got through the first locks.

After that people were spread out everywhere all day on the ship so then it became easier to get around. Just remember not to "Throw" Disney soaps, shampoos, conditioners, etc., off the ship to the transit workers. People were throwing them off giving them "gifts" and the Captain made an announcement to please not throw things off. I guess the cruise ship can get fined by the PC Transit Authority if guests are "littering" as they go through......not that we threw any gifts off to any of the workers or anything.

It was the same thing for me 22yrs ago. People being mean and pushy, but I held my ground. It does thin out after the first lock is complete so that is a plus.

Hi gang...just for clarification. If your team is buying gifts by cabins with FEs then order for 95. Should you end up with some extra I would suggest either giving some extra to your buddies or better yet, give them to your favorite CMs.

If your team is buying gift by adults/children, then please order as follows...
Adults with FEs (includes those gifting and not gifting): 155
Children with FEs (includes those gifting and not gifting): 77

If you have ANY questions, please don't hesitate to PM (LISERANN).

Thanks!

 

[CruzDirectorKaren]

[CruzDirectorKaren]

Thanks for the info . . . I really want to see the transit, but I am not fighting through pushy people. Maybe I will just wait in the back until after the first locks.

We are happy to have a cat 6 so we can just push ourselves on our balcony to get the best photo shot!
