No upgrade for us, but I did notice we have main dining, that is early correct?

My Palo dinner reservation and my shore excursions were gone. I guess I didn't do that right. I hope I can get them on the ship.

Yes, Main dining is the early one.
Did you try to re-do your reservations online? I know that you have to request them one at a time, and when you've been taken back to review it, you have to scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on "submit"....or maybe it isn't the word submit, but something like that.

Stace if you are going with Omar's that means lots of silk, lucky girl.


The Man

I was thinking waterproof canvas. That way, if I fall overboard, I can maybe make a raft out of my dress.

We had VERY little work in January & Feb. I was sweating it for awhile. Now we have it up to our eyeballs. But only for a couple of more weeks. Then it is back to deadville around here. All the RICH PEOPLE go back to their other homes back East. The Clubhouse we work out of most of the time, is closing this summer for 2 1/2 months. We will still run catering out of there, but I will be forced to work at other clubhouses waiting tables. Yuck. I much prefer catering, though it beats my body to death, hauling & shoving all the time. I work at a private club called Desert Mountain. It's in way north Scottsdale. We have 6 golf courses & 6 clubhouses.

The Man- if we weren't in a hiring freeze- because I know you know how to pour a drink, I would tell you to come apply here. You can pour a drink- right? And no, it isn't one drink for them, one drink for you. They frown on that.

I re did the excursions, but palo dinner was gone. Oh well. I will try on board.

Speaking of the mini airplane bottles....is there a preference? Rum, vodka, whiskey....????

Amarula, Baileys, Kahlua
You are putting too much stress on yourself asking for preferences

 

[itdjbw]

With her name, I get the feeling Tracey isn't too fussy about the content of the bottles, providing they aren't empty.

 

[itdjbw]

Yes...wonder how many people can go on a ferry?? There are 4 of us.

I will start a list here of anyone interested in going to the baths together.
I think the ferry can hold a LARGE group.

MsSmith07101 - 4
Itdjbw - 4
Friends of itdjbw - 4

Let me know if you want to join and I can add to the list.

 

[itdjbw]

If you click on the ferry's website you will see its one BIG BOAT so we will all fit just like me in my speedo's
Stace if you are going with Omar's that means lots of silk, lucky girl.
My beloved is booking a manicure cuz she heard the little fishes go gaa gaa over little red nails, I wonder if they can wax my back, might have to pay double due to all the hair, but that might make me way to sexy
Sharon is all this work talk to make me and the other poor blokes without one Jealous? I'm a independant contractor now if you need help

The Man

We prefer to use Speedy than your Speedo's

Any of those will do, or anything else for that matter. Haven't had whiskey in a while though. Can you tell we're not particular!!!

We like Rum, Kahlua, etc. Not fond of whiskey though. Does anybody know how you request to be upgraded (for free of course)?

 

[wmjivey]

Well Jared will get a eye full in Europe, thats where I bought mine. I lived there for three years and was tired not fitting in at the beach, so when in Turkey be one. Sharon do I know how to pour a drink, I make my own booze in the back yard, just don't tell the Feds. I also pour hundreds of bottles of beer at every Cardnial's game, the Boy Scout troop my son's go to have a sweet arrangement with the stadium. I have two parttime jobs right now to make the ends meet and buy my beloved all her heart desires, just it gets harder to cook her gourmet meals every night

Vodka, whiskey is good for us

I am so with you, with this job the last few months I have put on a few, so none of my cruise clothes fit!!

I don't know what to wear, I gues a pair of black pants and some tops will have to do, will have to buy a new bathing suit though!

That is what I am planning on doing. Black pants, and some shirts I have from when I was working (if they still fit). I do have a pair of capris to wear one night (maybe first night) and pirate capris to wear for pirate night. NO formal or semi-formal stuff yet for me...no idea what to do...I guess I just keep hoping to wake up and find something in my closet!

36 days until the cruise!!!!!!!!
34 days until we hit the road for Florida!!

 

[goofygal1975]

Ok, so the confirmation from both churchlady and scrapmailbox are NO to the FE's.

I don't have mssmith listed on the FE page or "blue" on the cruise list (blue notes that people are doing the FE) So I will send a PM to her just to confirm !!!

Ok, last confirmation....mrssmith is also sitting the FE out. So my list is correct as far as people doing the FE...I just need to update a couple of room #'s today!

There should still be plenty. They don't release all of them ahead of time.
Also, check the week before we go. Some people may have canceled...since money is an issue lately.

Again....

 

[justmestace]

You know, I have a ton of the Southwest Airlines drink coupons...but I wonder if they'll cut me off by the time I'm ordering the 7th or 8th drink??? They're going to think I can really hold my liquor...since I'm ordering but not drinking.

I'm excited. Whatever it is, I'm sure it will be great!
