May 26, 2007 (5/26/07) "First Magical Med Cruise!!" (The M&M's!)

[corinnak]

I'm doing the last Med cruise in 2007, but hope it is okay if I watch this thread as well - you guys have a lot of action going on! Very cool.

Big Welcome!

Now, from the name tag point of view, a short general theme works great because the space is somewhat limited. You can always expand on the theme in other places - for example, the name badges for the May 2005 repo had the "Kingdom to Kingdom" main theme with small graphics and then I went on to describe the 1st Panama crossing in text on other lines.Ken

Ken has a good point. Short and to the point works for name tags as well as T-shirts, visors, mugs, etc.. It leaves more room for pictures and gives the cruise a catchy name like "kingdom to kingdom" did. I like "Med. Magic" "Magic'al Med.", but should it include "first" in the name? Having the date with it will indicate it is the first, but should say it too. Just some thoughts. Alex

Down on the second page again - can't have that.

As far as a theme goes, I kind of like using "Mediterranean Magic" as the over all theme. Then in a graphic or on a pin, you could add something like "1st Med Cruise" and the date - or you could add any of funny sayings people are coming up with relating to pizza or a mouse roaming around the med. It gives you lots of options.

So Ken - something like:

Mediterranean Magic
The PREMEAR Cruise
May 26th - June ? (hmmm, what's the date?)​

Or

Mediterranean Magic
Crazy enough to be First!
​

OR

The Mouse takes the Med...
May 26th - June ?
reruns to follow​

Exactly - I think you've got it! I especially like the second one.

these look good to me but a couple questions --

are we "crazy" enough to be first OR "LUCKY' enough to be first?

Since that dates are May 26 - June ? is that your way of telling the rest of us that DCL was so happy to have us on the first cruise that we don't have to leave after 11 days but can stay as long as we want as long as we get off sometime in June? Same price as an 11 day of course

I know I have it somewhere but doesn't DCL spell it Prem"earing" when a movie debuts on land and DCL on the same day. Is that spelling maybe trademarked or copyrighted? I'll keep looking but I moved since that cruise so it is probably still in a box somewhere.

Great job so far folks. Good Efforts

Great to have you with us! I guess cabin 5124 should have your name on it by now, huh? LOL... Its good to have fellow Desert Folk on the ocean with us... I love Havasu, although I have not been there in a couple years, there is a neat English restaurant at the bottom of the bridge on one side that has AWESOME Scotch Eggs... its near the store with the great jerky!

As to themes, we have some AWESOME ideas going here... I am going to suggest we keep the ideas flowing through Sunday and then we open up voting for 1 week following that... goodness knows we are not in a rush here, but it would be nice to nail down a good theme before some other group takes one of ours! LOL...

Does anyone have the actual cabin count that have report here? I was just curious how many cabins/people this thread represents.

It's so quite on this thread, you would think that the cruise is a long way off. Oh wait, it is a long way off. darn

Hi Sandy

See post #57 for the list.

I would be willing to take on the task of designing some t-shirt options if no one else is interested.

Once the official "name" of the trip is agreed upon then I can start the design process.

Bye, Kim

 

[jeanneg]

I like the titles that highlight the fact that we are the first group in the Med, e.g. Med Magic: Crazy Enough to be the FIRST
or
Magic in the Med: Dare To Be FIRST

Anyway you look at it, I think "Med" is probably going to have to stand in for the full word, because it's just so darn long (and hard to spell!)

I like "crazy" over "lucky" because you gotta be a little crazy to do anything the first time. If someone gave me this trip for free, then I might be more willing to call myself lucky, but as it stands right now, we're going to be doing a lot of penny-pinching over the next year to accomplish this and that's more hard work than luck!

Thanks, Kim, for agreeing to help design our shirts....what a gal!

Hi Ken, I'm still on the thread. Busy week with birthday DD turns 3, broken fridge, Easter bunny coming. We're trying to go to disneyland and Goofy's kitchen for birthday and of course, its the only day of the week that we're having a rain storm. Every time we visit D-land we have to stroll past the miniture Magic/Wonder on display in the Grand Californian. Have a nice holiday everone! Kelly

Thanks for the Welcome.
We travel alone... grown kids and too many grandkids to take! So it will be nice knowing some people before we go.

At least someone knows where we live The Pub has been closed for a while now.. But the London Bridge is still there (We race thru the channel 3 times a week.)
Las Vegas is just a day trip for us.. we go at least once a month to buy clay and glazes... and of course great shopping and food

Our gold name plate goes on our door very soon.

Thanks again for the welcome
Ann
