Nobody EXPECTS the Spanish Reposition!!! Taking the Magic Back to the Med 4/10/10

[iankh]

You called Wil a WHAT????

A sprog. Why, what language am I speaking here?

"Sprog: once disparaging term for a child, now often used affectionately. (Chiefly British)"

Did you notice the phrase "now often used affectionately" in that definition?

 

[jhart901]

Jalen (8 at cruise) and I Jamie (27 turning 28 on the cruise) are not listed on the first page.

We will particpate in the FE and the Mickey exchange.

Just wanted to let you guys know I am here. I won't be posting much at least until our 7 night western is over.

I can only focus on one thing at a time. Hehe.

 

[brack]

OK, I am here. The party may now officially start.

The cane is a cool look.

 

[brack]

Does anyone want to race for Pirates ????

Always up for a little pirate action.

This is from our December 2006 cruise (my favorite). I have some from this January that I haven't uploaded yet but I like this one.

Hi again,
Just came back from my 1st DCL cruise
Had a great time.

I checked the first page and didn't see my name listed. I had posted my info on page 2 (post 29). But here it is again.

I had already joined the FE and SM from the first thread. Does that list continue over here or are we starting over for the FE and SM?

Also, no one answered my question about the "champagne girls" logo - who (or what) are they?

[nskjerven]

I'm supposed to eat dinner with some chick named Nan and her sprog.

You called Wil a WHAT????

I'm not sure that the sprog would even care that he is being called that

and you know that Ian and I can do a good battle when called for

Champange Girls....while I guess I belong I don't drink the stuff...

During our PC Repo May 2008 cruise, a bunch of us (50 or so) got together and had Champage tasting. I don't think we have an instigator amoung us, but we do have members.

I could be convinced to create a rum and coke club if anyone wanted

 

[Narnian_Princess]

Oops, I just noticed that the name above my pic is wrong! My name is Rachel.

And I don't see me and my dad on the list yet. No worries! These are a lot of pages to look through.

champagne girls

They were a group of gals on our westbound Panama Canal Cruise. They brought bottled of champagne with them, and had arranged a space in one of the clubs on board to have a champagne tasting party while they wore tiaras.

(It probably would sound better if one of them told the story)

 

[Tink rules]

A little of who I am.
I'm Ray (or Raymond, or anything else, just don't call me late for dinner)
my DW is Barbara, we're both 45, live in east San Diego, California.
We have been on a 3 night Disney cruise, 4-night DVC Member cruise, 7 night Hawaiian Island hopper cruise, we are going on this years DVC member cruise and we just can't wait to go on the transatlantic cruise.
we will be in room 2576, and are in the late dining.
I'm looking forward to all the info I can get out of you all. I'm usually a lurker, so I probably won't post a whole lot, but I'll be here.

Anyway, am I rambling?

Cause it's a good way to get to know each other...

A sprog. Why, what language am I speaking here?

"Sprog: once disparaging term for a child, now often used affectionately. (Chiefly British)"

Did you notice the phrase "now often used affectionately" in that definition?

My dictionary said something else entirely different.... but it's probably cause it's a Jersey one...

I'm going to go back and check on things... I was going to post and ask everyone to check to see if they are included... I'm just piecing together from the last thread...

I'm not sure that the sprog would even care that he is being called that

Or post a picture... (and an explanation...)

Champagne Girls started on the WB Panama Canal Repo last spring. UKANGEL and EllaEnchanted (Deb) started talking about how they loved bubbly - before you knew it - it grew and they started up a gathering of women and a few men... who just wanted to get together and taste some bubbly and visit... You had to wear pink.... you could drink anything you wanted or not - but the theme was bubbly. We had our mascot... Miss Sassy Bubbles (Cherie) who was dressed in Tink Pink and we had our own graphic - which will come back in my siggy as soon as my other photobucket account likes me again...

One of the women who was supposed to be on the cruise with us sent the champagne, but I think if we do it this time, we just chip in and order what the ship has...

Here is a picture of us in all of our Pinkish Glory...

It seemed to be sort of an "exclusive club"....possibly by special invitation? I had read of the champagne girls existence on the threads before the PC cruise, & I even had a cute pink shirt with me "just incase", but never heard of when or where they were getting together.

To hopefully avoid that situation, if any future similar type of "events" occur, it would be nice for the details to be announced somehow more effectively so any interested participants have a chance to join in rather than feel left out! Just some advice for the future. There may have been others that would have liked to participate also!

Hope that made sense....it's definitely after midnight.

I don't think there was any exclusivity about the event and I don't think it was by invitation either, rather it was by unabashed self-invitation and self proclamation as I recall.

The only thing about it was that it was gender specific.

 

[iankh]

and you know that Ian and I can do a good battle when called for

Come on baby, name the time and place. Mano a mano!

 

[iankh]

I loved 'the boys' Teddy Roosevelt "I took the Isthmus" t-shirts!

I'll have to think up something for this cruise. I've got a year. It will come to me.

 

[Lollipop's Mom]

I would love to do champagne girls! Count me in!

it made sense, and it WAS by invite (sign up) and there was a list and it did close. (not my idea, nor style) I suggested that champange be purchased on the ship , but it was ordered ahead of time and shipped aboard and that was why there was a cap on the # of people.

If it is done on this crusing, I'd agree with Michelle that the champange be purchased thru the ship.

The first one also had a dvd playing in the background by the vendor that supplied the vino.

I bet we could get a bar tender to talk it up if we really needed that aspect of the CGs.

All the being said, I DO NOT LIKE CHAMPANGE (unless it's Dom) so I'm not heading this up....Michelle are you gonna do it????

yes there was see above. and I think men should be able to come if they agree to wear a pink shirt....what a pot stirrer I am

Come on baby, name the time and place. Mano a mano!

You mean Mano a Nano, dontcha????

I would love to do champagne girls! Count me in!

oh hey, looks like you get to head it up

It got closed off because of the amount of people attending - I think we had like 40-50 signed up... those in the picture are the ones who were there... I think it depended on how much wine was shipped (I wasn't involved in that...) but I think we can open it up to anyone and just order a few bottles... some tasted... others drank... others, well... But it was fun... it's a smaller group I think, (well, maybe...) but I think that we should just order what's on the ship and go from there so we can all join in.

I don't think there was any exclusivity about the event and I don't think it was by invitation either, rather it was by unabashed self-invitation and self proclamation as I recall.

But it was crashed... you could have made an appearance... we didn't throw Bubba out now did we??? & John helped Deb do the presentation...

Come on baby, name the time and place. Mano a mano!

First Sprog... now Mano... How... multilingual...

I would love to do champagne girls! Count me in!

Sounds good!!!

Nan... I think we have lots of time to plan... I think we can open it to all... we just have to get DCL to give us Diversions again or someplace to have it... (and you can bring all the run you want...)

OK, then I suppose I have to make the Edwardian Tea exclusive. I'll use a method, mainly based on whim as to who can attend and who cannot.

(You know, we used to have an annual Christmas tea party at our house. It was a popular event. The very last year we held it, we had 180 people at our house. That's 180 people for a tea party. And I do mean tea party. The ONLY beverage served was hot tea.

I remember people asking what we had to drink, and I responded, "You have anything you want to drink, so long as it's hot tea. We don't do no specials."

(The equally amazing thing is that I had tea cups and luncheon sets for 180).
