Bon Voyage to all you B2B's. Is anyone planning on starting a LIVE thread for the repositioning trip?

 

[JohnnyDepp]

A little birdy has told me that Joey Fatone (N Sync, Dancing with the Stars)will be on the ship......

This is a very reliable birdy.

 

[jeanneg]

Good-bye and safe travels to all the B2B'ers. Have a wonderful crossing, but don't overtire the cast and crew.....we want them fresh and perky for the 1st MM! Looking forward to meeting everyone soon.

Question!

We're preparing all these little gifts to share with other dis'ers, but what if they don't have a fish extender? What do we do with it, or do we not leave it? Anything left in the hallway in front of someones door would just be picked up wouldn't it?

Hi all, I am on the June 6 cruise but I had a question for those making t-shirts, lanyards, etc. Did you have a hard time finding a vendor that would do these for you? My wife made us a t-shirt but the company told us we had to remove the mickey ears and the word "Disney". Now I understand Disney wants to protect their trademark and people are afraid of the big mouse, but if you're not selling them and they are a minor expense for a MAJOR Disney expense I didn't think it would be a big deal.

How did you guys handle this issue? Letter from Disney? Found a vendor who didn't care? Thanks!

The person to ask this is Ken and he is on his way to Florida for the transatlantic. Yes, Disney has a big problem with this. Designs have had to be changed in the past. The word Disney shouldn't be a problem but some likenesses of fonts and the mouse can be a problem.

Take this however you all will. I asked one of my contacts at DCL about this (and the rumor about Boyz to Men since I heard that before about the TA cruise, but not this one)

I was told on both counts that they cannot confirm or deny these rumors. I tried to trip her up and said I would send her pictures of Joey and the band and she said she would like to see my pictures, but again said whatever they are pictures of.

Since this is the second time I have heard Joey Fatone will be on either the TA or Med cruises, I'd like to think there may be some truth in him being on our cruise. Afterall the TA cruise is not really possible unless he loses DWTS next week. DCL wouldn't count on him losing to plan their events for this cruise.

Also, this cruise is a big deal. We are going to many new ports and the ship will be in EUROPE!! I think our cruise will have some extra special stuff.

A wish for a Magical trip across the Atlantic to all of the B2Bers!! See you in Barcelona! Thanks for bringing our ship to us safely! (They can always restock the alcohol!)

Awesome photo, Tracy! Did he actually pose with the passengers or were you somehow able to "snag" a shot? Alot of times when celebrities are hired for an event, management protects them from having to pose with the masses and only the "elite" are afforded the opportunity of getting a photo.

 

[Scooby3x1y]

Great Pic! You could be brother and sister....really, you look alike.

He was at the drink station. Mark Curry entertained on our cruise and he was just walking around. Wasn't really a problem. A lot of people got their picture with Joey.

Oh, and I want to add, I talked to someone else and can 90% confirm that Joey will be on our cruise

MY 12 yr old soon to be 13 yr old DD will faint if she sees him onboard. I think I'll keep this a secret. I would love to see the look on her face. We saw John O'Hurley in the airport right after he won the second vote. She was so tongue tied that she couldn't even say Hello.

All of Florida is like that! Although it isn't as bad here right now as up there. I was looking at the moon this morning thinking how red it looked - until I realized it was the SUN I was staring at!

Thankfully it only seems to be bad here at night and in the morning. I can actually see blue sky with white puffies at the moment. This morning everything was varying shades of grey. I thought for a minute I was up North until I stepped outside and felt the warmth.
