May 30, 2009 - Western Cruise Magic

ohhh, shoulda invited Rita so she wasn't up our hineys the entire then- I guess. LOL She rarely went to the lab- as usual. I can't figure out why. Usually if we like talk her into going- she ends up having a blast doing whatever activity they are doing but then wants to leave when the next activity is about to start. If we were to talk her into staying- she'd enjoy that activity too! Can't really figure out what the deal is- she's outgoing, personable, usually makes friends within seconds of meeting others, not shy at all, etc. She says she "just wants to be with us". Which is fine but you know sometimes I'd like to do something adult or just have a moment without kiddos. I homeschool- she's with me 24/7 at home too! LOL Ah well... we want her to be happy with her vacation too so we don't do much "prodding" to try to get her to go to the lab- and this cruise we did eventually just let her sign herself out. We got tired of taking her and having her page us before we even got back to the room or wherever we were going. So we let her leave and go to the room if she wanted. LOL I really have to make more of an effort for her to "get to know" kids on our cruise- before the cruise- so maybe she'll spend some time around KIDS during the cruise- instead of just with ole mom and dad.

Yes, we're having withdrawals too.... and we're not crusing until Sept of next year- barring anything happening where we end up not able to go or can't afford it by then or something, ofcourse. So basically that's tentatively Sept 2010. We usually have to wait up to 2yrs between our cruises- this May 30th cruise right after the Sept repo was a fluke- only because it was such a discount and sooooooooo much cheaper than the Baltic (2010) that we'd originally moved our dates to. Now we're spoiled and wanna cruise every 6mo or something I guess. haha

I'm working late on a Friday night and just wishing I was back on the cruise with the family and all the new friends.

We had a great time too.

I am having serious withdrawal here, as are the kids and so just sitting here on the DIS boards wishing for a miracle to occur so I could get back on the ship for even just a few days

My kiddos made some great friends and are so lucky that some of them live so close they can hang out frequently!

Thanks to everyone for everything, from the great FE gifts to the Crocs for my Bella, to the nice conversations in the hallways and poolside. Was a great time for all and hope to cruise with some of you again in the future!

My plan is to be super sweet to dh and see if he will book me something soon He has been working in Illinois and I haven't seen him since we got back from the cruise!

You and me both!
Well I'm not working late- I'm actually killing time playing chuzzle. I played that with the kids in the Lab and Oceanquest and now I'm playing it at home. I think I'm addicted to it. Is there a 12-step program for chuzzle addiction? I may need it! LOL

But I do wish I was back on the cruise! Time warp back a few weeks? Who's with me? hehe

Aw, you're welcome! I wish I'd got to meet Bella on the cruise- and you and all your kids! I totally didn't see everyone! LOL I didn't make enough effort I guess.. we were in our own world, vacation world. It's a nice world to be though huh? hehe
aw bummer about your husband being gone all this time. Hope you're able to sweet talk him into booking another cruise soon.

How is everyone?

So hot here in Florida. More than normal hot, lol.

Was wondering if anyone from our May 30th group is going to do the transatlantic crossing in April? I am thinking to book this one for part of my gang (obviously the big kids can't miss school) and wondering if any of our great DIS buddies are planning to be onboard.

Having such bad withdrawal from DCL that we are going on back to back Wonder cruises July 5-12.

Happy thoughts to everyone.

Jeanne - Have fun on your back to back cruises. We were trying to go on that cruise, but airfare is way too expensive for us from CO.

Ugh, airfare. You can always hope for pixie dust and really cheap airfare! You never know. I am thinking to book it and if we can't do it, we will just switch it to another sailing.

Oh darn.. we're booked on the TA in Sept. too bad we aren't on the same cruise again!!!

Oooh I'm so jealous of you going again so soon! Seriously jealous!!!!!!!!

 

[loveysbydesign]

Hiya everyone...just wondering how everyone is doing and if any of you have any upcoming cruises???
We had rebooked onboard on the Wonder for Nov. 2010 with my in-laws but bumped out to May 22 on the Dream in 2011 as it was cheaper! Plus then we can see POTC 4 while onboard! I actually chose to book GTY11C's in the hopes of getting upgraded again!

 

[Pooh_Friend#1]

Hello! We booked the Dream Maiden Voyage and the one following to do a B2B. We are so excited, although I won't be able to cruise in 2010 so I am going to go through withdrawal!
