May 6, 2006 - 7 nite Western - Anyone Crusing?

[jillane88]

Yes Lisa, those souffle's are fabulous but I may not make them again until right before the cruise. I've been working on losing about 8 lbs before the cruise and I've already lost 6 (well maybe not, that was BEFORE I ate the 3 chocolate souffle's!)

I found another use for the yummy vanilla sauce though- the small bit I had leftover was sure good poured over my scottish oatmeal this morning!

Its pouring rain here today and I'm dreaming of sunshine ! That paper chain is getting smaller!!!

Heather,
Sorry to hear it is still raining over there! They keep saying we are going to get some rain...but all we have is sun! Are your kids on Spring Break yet? You all can take a field trip to the east side.

Our friends leave tomorrow for a two week Panama Canal cruise on Celebrity and they are more jealous of US leaving in 37 days for the DCL! (we are far more excited)

Today is the last day of school before we start our spring break. Just saw the forecast for next week - more rain! Right now it is sunny outside but we are supposed to have thunderstorms by noon! Better enjoy the sun while I can.

37 Days! Hooray

I just read about someone getting upgraded for the 4/29 Eastern cruise. Has anyone here checked to see if they've been upgraded??? I just checked, we haven't. Pixie Dust to all of us!

My parents and sister were upgraded to bigger rooms...My DH and I were not and that ok. They have 2 kids and needed a bigger room..Its sunny in Atlanta ..for now at least

Wow. How nice for them. Were your ressies linked?

Very cool about the upgrade! I'll have to check for us, but I doubt we'll get one since we're booked on a group rate.

It's a very blustery day here--I can't believe these winds!!! Still, it was 75 and sunny yesterday, so I'm not complaining!

I'm so glad the Wonder could divert course and help us out with the luggage! I'm actually a super packer, so everything of mine will fit into one large suitcase and a carry on at most. It's DH everyone has to worry about. I usually wind up having to stuff half of his things in with mine!

Everyone have a great day!

 

[new2cruise]

No upgrade here - but I don't care - I'm just to darned excited about the whole thing- they could put us in a broom closet and I'd still be thrilled !

 

[new2cruise]

Pathetic - ain't I?

No upgrades yet! I have been hoping that we would get one! We are in two side by side cat.11, but I would love 2 connecting rooms in cat 10. Of course I couldn't justify the almost $600 difference to do it, but I'd still love it! Our kids are 10,7,4 and it would be great if we had that connection!

I keep hearing that upgrades are possible until the last minute, so I'm hoping that we'll have the magic.

We booked Nov. 2004 and have been waiting a long time. Now that it gets closer it seems scarier than farther away than it did when we first booked! We have not done any shopping, or even sorting out of kid's clothes! Next week I'll start tackling all that!

So, are we Cozumel or not? Anyone going to XCaret?

I Want to go TODAY!!!!!!!!! Patience is not a virtue, it's KILLING me.

Ha Ha.

On the packing note, how on earth am I going to get all this stuff in 2 bags???? 7 days X 3 outfits each day (at least, ha ha).. 4, no 5 (can't forget those adorable pink shoes that match my April Cornell dress that I can actually wear if I get rid of 5 more of these pesky pounds) pairs of shoes.. Makeup, a jacket, sweatshirt, hat, glasses, rollers, hair dryer... Plus I'll be bringing stuff back..... Never making it.

So, we still don't know if it's Cozumel or Costa Maya?? Aren't they 'supposed' to be going back to Cozumel in April, so we should know soon, right? Guess I don't care, I'll be happy to be cruising..

Oh, and the chocolate souflees are so scrumptious..... Staying away from that recipe til after the cruise though...

I can't wait!!!!

[new2cruise]

Ok - now it's 35 days !

 

[ganurse]

We can all officially say we are going on a cruise next month, how exciting is that? I am hoping all my online ressies will work and that it will be a smooth trip..Even if they dont, we will all have a great time sipping Mai Tais and getting some sun!

Hi,
Does anyone know when we can expect to receive our Cruise tickets.?
I guess ours might be a bit later as we live in the UK.
Happy cruising...

I don't know when we are supposed to get them. We have decided we will wait until the end of this week and then call the travel agent and see.

last year we got ours 3 weeks before the trip!
