ATTENTION!!!!!!!

all of you with spa treatments!!!!!

they recently revamped the treatments with LESS time but same price!!! i booked a couples treatment for $475 in one of the new villas from 2:30pm to 5:10pm but now my ressie says only til 4:40pm....i will miss out on almost $100 worth of time!!! others on the DIS are reporting the reg massages are less time as well as the rasul....check your ressie and decide if it is still worth it!

i think i will cancel....

Welcome MOMMADUKESSON......nice to see that you're officially part of the cult (or will be at 50 posts or so).

OK, my second guess is "Pet Sounds" the Beach Boys.

Jackie: Congratulations! We have a winner!

Wednesday night's concert was Brian Wilson's "40th Anniversary Tribute to Pet Sounds. He founded the Beach Boys, and wrote most of their songs. He and his band performed the entire Pet Sounds album -- including the songs "Wouldn't It Be Nice," "Sloop John B," "God Only Knows" (Paul McCartney's favorite song), and "Caroline No."

They also performed about 20 Beach Boys songs (including "Surfer Girl," "I Get Around," "Don't Worry Baby," "Fun, Fun, Fun," "California Girls," "Good Vibrations," and "Surf's Up").

Absolutely splendid!

Also the Disney store has some really nice pirate shirts on sale this week. Try and check it out too.

Tammy

Yep, got me one of them, will be wearing on PIrates night!!!

 

[TiggersPal]

Help! Help! I have too many shoes and I can't close my suitcase.

There is NO SUCH thing as too many shoes. Now the missing suitcase ... that's a dilemia!

 

[TiggersPal]

Linda...Peg's not bringing enough shoes...maybe she could fit some of yours into her suitcase...

Carolyn

Exactly!!! If you were close by - I'd put them in with mine! Hey, what size do you wear? You could borrow some of mine... my momma taught me to share. Oh yeah, Jackie will be sharing too I'm sure. Now that it doesn't look like she'll be getting her crocs... maybe I should pack the green pair of Niles for her...

 

[TiggersPal]

Linda just do what we do... bring a suitcase just for shoes!

A girl after my own heart!!!!

 

[TiggersPal]

Michelle, Sarah and I both bought "Mary Jane" style crocs at the store at the airport...Sarah's are baby Blue and look adorable with her blue 'Cindy' gown....and I think mine are kinda cute, too.
Angelina will be very comfortable and stylish in them.

Do I have time to get the brown ones?????? OH NO...

 

[TiggersPal]

Okay, need you sweet people to weigh in with opinions...
booked my room last December. Specifically went with midship (motion sickness) and starboard (view). Got a room with a TERRIBLE (1) stateroom report. Could not get another 6 all year (according to DU) that wasn't a connecting, which DH didn't want. I've fretted about it all year.
Now, there are 8 each Cat 4,5,6s left. Cat. 4 are $840 to upgrade now--not gonna happen (as much as I would love the little extra room.) There is now a Cat 6 open midship, starboard available I could switch to, but my DU agents thinks I'm not better off due to it being right at the stairs/elevator. Can change to a Cat. 5 for $200 that is aft/starboard--looks to be decent location. However, there is no change in room size for the money--strictly deck. If I change, I will have to change all the distag bag stuff (don't lose me!! i want my tag bags!!) and all my little notes on photo mats for sigs and magnets, etc etc. Have to change birthday celebration I ordered, etc.
So, what to do? what to do? Is it worth it for peace of mind? What if I make things worse? What if I move from a verandah where nobody smokes next door to chain smokers on the verandah???!! Aaack!!
Y'all weigh in please. I need to do something soon. Anybody been in a 5 & 6? Is deck 7 better than six? Are stairs/elevators a noise problem?
I would LOVE to hear what y'all have to say. Please!!

I have no knowledge - this is my first cruise - BUT - I say go for deck 7 - cuz that's where we are!! - I would think the stairs could be an issue - but who knows - my gut says go with the Cat 5 for only 200. Is that door number 1 or 2 or 3?

 

[TiggersPal]

So you're a son of a fairey, are you me matey? How nice.

Well just to let everyone know the cat has been let out of the bag. Everyone can relax. We don't have to be hyper anymore Faireygodmother's son knows his father and wicked stepmother will be on the cruise. With only 7 days to go how close but life goes on. He was very excited which is what his mother and I wanted most!! Thanks to everyone for all the warnings when we were in chat and posting online. It was nice having everyone there helping and supporting Faireygodmother and I.
Sorry MommaDukesSon we both tried our hardest to surprise you!
See you all on the ship a week from tomorrow!!!!Pinkbounc

I'm so glad - wow that was really making me nervous. It's just like me to spill the beans ! I cannot tell you how many times I wanted to call you by your REAL name.... How exciting, now you guys and talk and talk about what your going to do, etc. So much part of the fun - the planning, discussing, and more discussing!

Well now I'm glad I didn't book. Especially since I have some of the best spa's around here in Scottsdale. And do business with them and can usually get a discount... so I'll go looking for other experiences. Thanks for the update!

Well this just proves one thing, you must must must read all the posts - before you reply right? Except now - I've added to the "goal" of one gazillion posts by next week.

Oh, Mr Woodmeister, you crack me up!

Uh oh, it's almost TOMORROW....I have to go to bed.


Oh, yeah.....got my documents!

YOUR documents? HELLO - should I panic? Did you get BOTH of ours? OH NO, no wonder I"m up at 3:22 a.m. - it's beginning, the panic (should I really bring all these shoes? Should I really have those pants hemmed? Am I going to have enough room to cart home all the stuff that will be in the baskets ... oh yeah WHY didn't Nona call me back - how much do I actually OWE them for those baskets I ordered... will the dogs be ok while I'm gone? What about work, will anything blow up - that requires my attention?....
