Hayley,
Our coordinator has a note into dining to change us to the later seating, but she said they don't do anything until 30 days out. I was thinking the same thing though if we have the early seating, hopefully we'll be with other couples.
Now that our ceremony has been changed to the Nassau day, we will be eating at Palo that night also.
I think it's awesome what you are doing for your parents anniversary. My kids arent' that 'giving', lol, but they do love me, so I can't complain.
As for Nassau, we are maybe just doing a walking tour (and some sightseeing) especially since our ceremony is now that afternoon.
I don't think we'll dress for Pirate night as we dont' have anything to dress in, so we'll be one of the many with just the bandana.
We did
MNSSHP last October and had a ball (unfortunately, it rained, but we still had so much fun).
Ok, I think I got all your questions answered for us.
Have a good evening. Actually it's tomorrow over there (I think) so have a good day.
You never know, you might be sat with us
!! And we will surely see you in Palo so I can give my congratulations!!
We did PPP last August and the party because notorious as there was such a bad storm. A lot of the things and events were cancelled, but we tried to make our own fun, and in the end, they did do the parade and fireworks very late, and we were first in line to meet Jack Sparrow, so I can't complain! Since a lot of people had turned their tickets in for another night, it was so quiet in MK - great!! However, I'm still hoping we have better luck with the weather at MNSSHP - I'm so excited for it! We have an ADR at Citrico's that night, so I need to change that around with our LTT or TTS ADR
Me and DBF will probably dress up like Jack Skellington and Ragdoll Sally for MNSSHP - I have seen the costumes I want already
We both love NBC so that will be perfect!
I'm not sure what to do for Pirate Night either. To PPP, I wore a banada with dreads I had made in the store near the POTC ride, a raggedy pirate looking skirt, and a t-shirt with a photo of Capt. Jack that stated 'My Boyfriend is a Pirate'... and of course I had dressed up Pal Mickey in his pirate outfit
! I'm not sure whether to just go with that on
DCL or go all out and buy a pirate outfit
I'm glad you had fun at MNSSHP! I can't wait! I'm so happy it's early this year!
Hayley, I think that is awesome that you teach about the Titanic. I
LOVE history! My eldest son just learned about the Titanic at school. I thought it was really cool how his teacher taught it. She had all the kids split up between first, second, and third class and had them dress up accordingly. She made a titanic ship by using chairs and paper. The kids boarded with a passport she had made up for them...and their passports got stamped. They sent post cards to their family and they had high tea (lemonade) and scones. I thought that was a fun and intelligent way to teach that bit of history to the kids. What a great way to remember that event! I also think it is incrediable what you are doing for your parents! How great for them! A few years back my brother and I surprised my mom for her 70th birthday and took her to Purteo Rico. She had NO idea. We told her what temperture to pack for and that was it. She didn't even know I was coming with her. She thought I was just taking her to the airport but when we got to the parking I took out my suitcase with hers and she screamed. We then met my brother in the airport.....she didn't know he was there until he walked up to the gate. We kept telling her we were just flying to Ft Lauderdale.
She knew better though and kept looking at the airline guide to see everywhere they flew. When we got off to connect we finally let her read the board as to where we were going. She was so excited and we all had a great time. I think she was more excited that my brother, myself, and she were all vacationing together. That NEVER happens and it meant the world to her. I can only imagine how special you have made your parents annivesary!
I'm still working on what we are doing for Nassau. I think we will visit the Pirate Museum and possibly the straw market. I would love to go to the fort and the queens stair case but I think the kids would be bored. We have discussed taking a historic tour via horse drawn carriage. Then we will be back on board to enjoy the ship by lunch!
I wish I was allowed to teach about the Titanic properly!! I could talk about it all day! On top of that I wish I could teach university students using that method... that would be so cool!!! But I am lucky in that I get to indulge and write my PhD thesis about it!
My parents are so excited!! I think my only wish would be to go with them and see their faces! The farthest they have been are the Canary Islands (about 3hrs or so from the UK), and they can't comprehend that they are going AI and everything will be free
Me and DBF will be taking them to the airport hotel the night before, and I am also booking the Executive Lounge for them before their flight as we love it and think it's so relaxing, esp. before long haul! Telling them was the best thing about Xmas Day, my mam nearly burnt the turkey she was so shocked
I think enjoying the afternoon on the ship will be very relaxing and I'm looking forward to it! The only thing I would like is a Bahamas stamp on my passport! We only get a stamp if we fly out of the EU, so at the moment, I have a stamp from Turkey, and a stamp from the USA - I'd love a Bahamas stamp!
Dh isn't really crazy about Pirate night. I doubt we'll dress up. On the other hand, once dh has had a couple beers, he'll wear the bandanna and even an eye patch if I give him one. LOL.
We're not sure about our Palo plans. When we cruise with the kids, we book two room, and therefore are entitled to two Palo reservations. There's no issue of whether to book brunch or dinner. This time, there's only the two of us. Hard decision- brunch or dinner
.
As for Nassau, our plan is to do a walking tour then go to Crystal City for a little while. Maybe, we'll look around the Straw Market before getting back on the ship.
Goodnight, all. Or in Hayley's case, good morning!
Brunch AND Dinner! Are you allowed to book 2 Palo reservations if you pay the $10 per head towards them? I really hope so! We are hoping on doing both brunch and dinner - we have the Romance at Sea package so I'm not sure if that makes any difference?!
Oh, and good afternoon! It's 12.50pm over here now!
It will be a trip to home depot today. The evil weed minnions are trying to gather another army in my landscapeing so I'll be battling them. Time to mow the front yard today as well. Yesterday I did manage to get the kitchen to sparkle and swept out the lanai. We also went for a nice long bike ride and saw a fox. Now Chris is determined that the little fox is lonely and needs our home to shelter him. He is coming up with all sorts of plans to let the little fox know we can be his new family. I think it is cute but I would be surprised if we see the little guy again (he also got a healthy lecture on rabies). The weather here is beautiful! We also are having a high of 85 and sun shiney days. Well, it is the sunshine state after all. We have to live up to our name! 
Have a great weekend everyone!
If I didn't need the pay, I'd go back in an second! Ok, break time over.
I have NO idea what that was about. 4 months ago we came home to the same thing only to find out a man who lives two streets over from us had kidnapped a mother out of her home. They found her murdered two days later about a mile from our home. 
I had to live up to Patricia's example! hehe I also got lots of landscaping done. If I were technologically savy enough to own a digital camera I'd share pictures but alas I'm still in the dark ages with my 35mm.
Sorry.
