May 10, 2008 Ship of Thieves...May 2008 Repo Thread...Part 8

Someone asked on the last page of our previous thread about suitcases fitting under bed. We have done two things:

1. If you are NOT using the bunk bed in your stateroom and there is one, ask your stateroom host/hostess to put it down for you for the whole cruise and then you can store all your extra "stuff" up there. It works great for us to give us more room.

2. Luggage under the bed. Our luggage is BIG. What we have found is to go to the bottom of the bed and then DH lifts up the bed and then I shove the suitcases up underneath right in the middle, then the bed sits back down and we've never had a problem with a lump or anything. In fact, after the 2005 PC cruise, right before we disembarked I did one last run through of the stateroom and found an empty suitcase under the bed! I already had everything long gone by then, so I just put my stuff I was carrying off into it.

OMgosh you had a whole extra empty suitcase! WOW

Connie, how about putting Disney wrapping paper around the box of wine and stick a bow on it. Then put it on the bottom of Patrick's wheel chair.

Somehow this quote is one of the reasons I know I am hanging with the right crowd

How many bottles are there going to be Deb?

I don't know for certain. That's for Karen to figure out. But we have 45 girls now.....not all of them drinkers. But some people were talking about buying some champagne too.....so if I had to take a guess, I would say at least 2 cases, that's 24 bottles.

I hadn't planned on pre-shipping anything to the ship, so that does not affect me, but I had hoped on bringing on a few bottles...now I need to rethink how I will get those on board and carry them around. Looks like we are all going to get small/midsize rolling bags for our carry ons so we can lug on some heavy bottles!

 

[EllaEnchanted]

Can you ship it in a suitcase? If we can check more luggage which I think we can then you can check boxes.

I thought we couldn't check in boxes, just carry them on. That would be difficult.....even if we could get in the room at 1:30 to drop them off, I can't carry a case or two of champagne around.....John and I are just not able to do that kind of thing anymore. Besides, I need to have my carry on stuff in a bag to carry on. Where would I put those things.

Great pics everyone....at the end of the last part. Venetia....loved the family pics Looks like the meet was another success. When are we having that PNW meet?????

 

[lillygator]

well my John offered to carry my box around. Sweetie!

 

[lillygator]

Connie - are your boys twins?

I am not going to fret....just lug my booze on and hopefully flutter my lashes adn they will let me through, or create a diversion and RUN~!


If you need less people for the Cgirls Deb, you can cross me off. I don't mind.

Ok we are going to figure this out! Can you get a cheap rolling cooler or small suitcase? If you have a carry on with wheels it's not bad carrying it until our lifeboat opens up. Can you buy it once you are there? Or everyone could just buy there own on the ship or BTOB. Can the tiaras be shipped in a small box to the hotel and then put the box in a duffle bag and check it?

I kept trying to find the quote button on the last thread - DOY!

I saw that post and glad you told us, I don't want to offend. Now that being said he may just not like me How could he not like me and my big mouth and odd sense of humor????


Don't worry, many people don't get that he's joking about such a taboo subject. So, he may get you just fine... or he'll confuse you with me.

yeah, that's what I was alluding too, but didn't want to say.... I think you and I could be other set of twins of different mothers (& fathers)

a large rolling duffle would be good as you could fill it up but rolling it around does not weigh much. I could always ship some bottles to the hyatt mco I think. I have limo service all the way so I am not having to handle my bags at any point so I do not mind bringing a case of something onboard if needed for the party.

Is it really all that important to everyone??? Since it's going to be so difficult, why don't we just cancel? If we could ship it to the boat, I would have no problem with it, if we have to carry everything and I mean the fish gifts too.....I have boxes of stuff all over my house. How am I going to be able to get all of this carried and packed? It just doesn't seem worth it to me. I'm lucky to get my fish gifts packed and for that I have to bring an extra suitcase that I didn't plan on lugging around. Why don't we wait and see what Karen has to say when we inform her. I'll send her an email.

I live like 15 minutes from their wine shop and I have no problem shipping a case to my hotel and then loading it into my limo the day we head to port. I do know that the boxes I was shipping will amount to one maybe two extra roller bags for me. I was hoping to ship fish items and some presents I had for people and then beach toys and some odds and ends. I will have to rethink some things but really as long as they do not question my bags at port I do not care if I have to pay extra to fly additional bags out as I am not going to be lugging them myself. I saw if we all come with tons of bags they can't say anything to us!

Massage thought....

last week in Zihua, Scott and I got the most amazing 1 hr massages for 25.00each!!!!! So, if the prices on board are too high, I bet you could wander to a beach area at one of the ports and get an open air massage for much less than the cost on the ship. Ours were done under a canopy on the beach and the therapists were great. Having 4 therapists in my office, I get them quite regularly and thought my masseuse was pretty talented.

Well, I do look just like Ariel.

 

[mishoe01]

Ok quick post while I still remember what I wanted to say from the last thread....


Mary - Like you could EVER forget ME!!! (you may want to, but I think I'm now engraved in your brain).

Deb - don't cancel the Champagne Girls meet! We can always do just a few bottles and meet more for the companionship.

I don't think we need to worry about much.

 

[edna mode]

Never mind that picture under my name
