Northern Sights & Mickey's MAGICal Delights - 1st Baltic cruise - June 12,2010

[seaulater]

Yeah.. after I looked at it again I knew that number was wrong LOL

I will be doing photo links soon. Took me a few minutes to remember how to upload the page again. May take me a few more minutes to remember how to do the photos

Thanks everyone for sending me an email with your info. I will also be keeping an excel spreadsheet of the information so it can be shared and sorted. My other plan is to do a deck plan and color in the rooms. I need to figure out a better way to do that this time. Last time it was a pain.... there has to be a better way.

A little caveat about updating the page. I have a job that may require my attention for periods of time, and at the drop of a hat. So if there is a short period of no updates, rest assured I will get to them when I have some sanity back in my brain And for the next few weeks I am helping a friend design the master suite for his new-to-him house. (He is a guy with NO sense of space or size ) so I will be in and out of here until he finishes that project.

If you are celebrating something I will put that on the spreadsheet and may be able to put together a page. It seems we have alot of birthdays aboard!

As we come across links for planning, I can add that also.

How many more days?????

Debbie

I'll plan on doing the Mini Navigator too, but it will be a condensed version than those I have previously done. I can add the staterooms easily if someone can color them in for me and send me the jpeg file. That seems to work well.

Okay, back to work (yes, I'm still working!)

Debbie ... Can you get Gydell to post a link to your website on the first post. I already can't remember it, and not sure how far back to look!

To all the women turning 47 on the cruise. Watch out. I turned 48 a month ago and it is all downhill after 45 First to go is the memory! Better get out those granny reading glasses!

Hey, I resemble that! I have been in progressive lens for over 5 years now.

We'll join in with the celebrating.

We will be celebrating our 17th wedding anniversary on June 12, 2010

Had to tie the cruise into a big anniversary so DH doesn't complain about the cost
Jen

Glad it worked for you too Jen....I used my birthday to seal the deal with my hubby too. (Although he still complained about the cost!)

Okay, let's plan on the scrapbook class. I'll have to look at the itinerary and decide which sea day to do. And I'll do it before the 105 day mark so as not to mess up anyone's Palo Brunch reservations.......HA!

Also, can we think out the FE exchange somehow this time? I would love to do the FE exchange, but hate the thought of transporting all the gifts and trinkets home. Maybe we could have "groups" get together and reduce the number of gifts, or someone come up with some idea so it is something that would be useful? Anyway.....just a thought since luggage will be somewhat of an issue and I know last time in the Med. someone who had to pay over $900 to get their extra luggage home!

Thanks for offering to do the scrapbook class Linda.

I hope there will be someone with organisational abilities(not me ) to arrange group FE exchanges. It worked very well on the PC Repo and we got some nice stuff.

Just wait till you are 60!

Wow Linda, thanks again. I still have our Mini Navigator from the PC Repo close by for when I need to check up on something. It was great.

Hey Karen! As you already know, I am right behind you. I will be turning 47 on the 28th right after the cruise. But I still have them bringing my cake on the last night of the cruise. After our time in London, we will return home right on my birthday. Steve is so great and he will make it really special even though we will be traveling.

Of course you do! As far as I'm concerned the whole cruise will be a birthday bash for both of us!!! On the topic of flights, any thoughts about who to fly with???

...To all the women turning 47 on the cruise. Watch out. I turned 48 a month ago and it is all downhill after 45 First to go is the memory! Better get out those granny reading glasses!

NEVER!!! I don't intend to give up without a fight!!! I'm thinking of going for this look for the semi-formal...

I don't mind organising that if it helps out. There's my birthday on 23rd June as well.

Anyone that you have ff points with!

 

[gydell]

Any info that you want on the 1st page let me know and I will add it.

 

[Va-NanaTink]

HI, I just joined your group and saw this thread. DH and I both will be going on this cruise.
Nice to see there are a lot of people going.

 

[CustardTart]

Oooh!!! Cheeky!!!

Guys, I'm going to apologise in advance for not volunteering for anything. Believe me, it's for the best as I have zero organisational skills...

For example, I joined in with the FE exchange on our last cruise. I bought the gifts, had a Fish Extender beautifully made by a lovely lady on eBay - what could possibly go wrong???!!! Maybe the fact that I forgot to take the list of stateroom numbers and details of which gift was for which person!!!

Nightmare. It took me days to sort as I had to get online, email my home alone DS with instructions to find the list on my laptop and wait for him to reply. By which time we'd been receiving all manner of wondrous things from our fellow FE exchangers on a daily basis - even though I couldn't found my Fish Extender for the first 3 days.

On the penultimate day we finally got our act together and raced around the ship quickly stuffing FEs with our gifts...

LOL Karen you're a nightmare!

If you take part in the FE then email me a copy of your list and I will take a spare for you just incase! xx

Welcome to you. Congrats on booking the cruise.

 

[gydell]

As far as the FE giving - I am not planning on bringing an extra suitcase on this trip for gifts. I will have to have something very small or a group gift.

I'm apologising too as I am just NOT an organiser and would be stressed more than I normally am then!!

Just heard from my TA that if you are planning excursions on your own in St. Petersburg that you have to get a Russian visa. But if you're using DCL excursions, then you don't need one.

I wonder if this is why RCCL's list of excursions for St. Petersburg includes so many private car/van tours...

What if we are just sight seeing on our own? I thought that DCL had to get them for everyone that is on the ship.
