Pj

Bloomin Onion

203 g fat 194 g carbs

I just looked that up and will not admit to how many of those I have had!

Hmmm... I gave them the benefit of the doubt and assumed that there was 1g of fiber.

I calculate this out to be 71 points for the whole thing.

My daily points target is 28 points, so this would be equal to 2.5 days worth of food for me.

Now I figure I could find some people to split the appetizer with me. I calculate that I would need 24 people to split it with to bring it more in line.

Nahh just let me bring the booze. I have no problem with it and I can be pretty persuasive if I try I will get our booze on the ship. How many cases were there to be?

Not sure, I was going to leave it up to Karen, but now I think I'll leave it up to you. How many cases can you reasonably bring.....one maybe two?

Send me a PM with all your info about where you'll be staying the night before. I'll have Karen send to you directly. Then you can figure out how you want to get it onboard.

But the sauce is the best and it is a lot of points as well. I think ranch and horse radish????

"why the mystery, just type Nordstrom???"


Sorry if this was a frustration, there is a very good reason why not.

Deb,

If you could ship things to your hotel and get them to the port some how several of us could take a bottle or two, or some of the tiaras and stuff them into our carry ons. I have always taken a carry on size suitcase and then I use a backpack with wheels for my purse and have never had a problem with the airlines or DCL. I know I am not part of the Champagne Girls but I would be willing to stuff a couple of bottles in my carry ons (ask my DH, I am very good at stuffing 10 lbs of stuff into a 5 lb bag ) until we can go to our rooms.

We were going to ship our FE gifts ahead because they are rather heavy but now we will just distribute them between our suitcases for the plane. All this means is that I will be able to buy less on trip and that won't make my DH unhappy.

Carol

Hi Carol, I could ship to my hotel and I could probably get one or maybe two bottles in my carry on, but I think it would be CRAZY to start handing out bottles at the port for people to bring them in their carry ons, especially when they already planned on bringing something for themselves to drink during the cruise.

Thank you for your offer, but I really don't see this as being a good alternative for everyone else.

WELL PEOPLE>>>>>>>>>BAD NEWS.....
I called to ask about sending the boxes I had been packing and was told that you can no longer send anything to this service. So shipping to your hotel is the ONLY option. I will be removing the info from shirley from the first post and then freak out about what the heck I am gonna do with all my crap.

So 2 suit cases
1 carry on
and your purse is all you are allowed to bring.

Very disappointing information, but worth repeating.

Anyone excited about the start of the NCAA tournament? We can't believe Oregon actually made it in.


Side note for John - Terrelle Pryor eliminated Oregon. Looks like it is down to Ohio State and Michigan. Really hope he chooses tOSU.

Marr, you're crazy if you want to do this. I will let you if you insist, but I think we can work it out another way.

Let me know how many cases well how many physical boxes it would be and I will see if I can get the elves on it.

 

[EllaEnchanted]

if everyone going to the tasting brough a bottle, there would be plenty of champagne. or if worst comes to worst, you pay for a glass onboard. I remember when I was a kid, that my aunt always bought a sparkling wine that had a rose tinge to it. I was too small at the time to remember the brand but she always called it her Pink champaigne. anyway that way noone would have to worry about trying to get cases of the bubbly onboard the boat.

Hi Chris, this is exactly what I would suggest we do. Marr, are you listening? I think the easiest thing to do is everyone bring a bottle or buy a bottle onboard.....then we could all share and taste each other's. It's the simplist way to get it done.

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.

Nope, no great packing skills, I just shipped 3 boxes to the ship before the cruise with scrapbook stuff and then brought 2 more suitcases with scrapbook stuff and after the class, it was gone, so I didn't miss the extra suitcases too much! After two weeks, I kinda forgot how many suitcases we had brought on the ship. I do remember though going to the ship and the trunk, the back window, the back half of the seat and the front passenger seat floor and in between the two seats all had luggage. For me, my DH and both my parents, we had luggage every spot we weren't sitting and DH and my dad sat side by side in the back seat with luggage in their lap on the way to the port!

Absolutely. What you have to do is lift that bed. They will not slide under until you do that because of the sideboards.

Hey V . . .

I found you a cooler, and it has wheels too . . .

Can you bat your lashes for this baby?

 

[EllaEnchanted]

Why can't everyone that is going to actually taste the champagne bring one bottle? You could have a list of champagne that you want and people could sign up for it. Since you only wanted 24 bottles, two people could share the cost of the more expensive bottles. I know I was looking forward to it.

I agree, I think this is a wonderful idea and we can purchase right onboard no muss, no fuss, easy! Just like vaca is supposed to be.

I think I may have an "in" to get a massive amount of booze onboard. Just thought about it. Will call in the morning and see what he says!

Thank you for all the positive opinions regarding the swimsuit question. I ordered it last night. There is no way it will look as nice on me as the beautiful model, but I like the swimsuit.

Whoa I want THAT.

 

[EllaEnchanted]

Oh no - Big Brother,AI, One Tree Hill, and Dancing with the Stars are all on at the same time!

Thank goodness for Tivo. You should have what I do. I have satellite TV and I get NY and CA stations, so I'll record some on east coast time and then record the rest on west coast time. This way, I get to see it all.

I think that is perfect John and solves all the problems!!!

I will say I have done very well on my diet since I saw it last night. I still won't be able to get into that one but it was incentive to get in one a little bigger or maybe a lot bigger!

We have Tivo on 4 of our tvs so I will just switch rooms tomorrow!
