OUR PORTS OF CALL ​

~~~~Here you will find various information we collect over the year(s) prior to our cruise about our ports of call.....

KEY WEST
Posted by nenner1~~~~Kino Sandal Factory is @ 107 Fitzpatrick St. . Just around the corner from Malory Square. Very cool handmade sandals/flip flops. BTW the fish wagon is 801 Caroline St. (where there is a woman going crazy on). Parrotheads should understand this...

GRAND CAYMAN
Post by pinkygirl~~~~Looks like Grand Cayman will be a busy day for Tourist, there will be 3 other ships in town the same day we are there.
I would imagine this would mean if you are going to do an excursion on your own you may want to make sure you book well in advance!

WELCOME DIZZYLANDDEB......LOVE LOVE LOVE the name by the way!

What day is your bday......
We should have a big bday party!

Looks like i need to try again for the ticker i could not get mine to work last night.

 

[DizzylandDeb]

My Birthday is 10/18 (tomorrow as of this writting) So will be sailing ON my birthday . . .we planned it that way. I'm hoping for birthday dinner at Palo's

Yeah, I'm "dizzy" for Disney! I think it's a fitting name

Now we need to figure out how we survive the TWO year wait?

 

[MouseMadness]

Hi Everybody...we will be joining you as well. I just stumbled upon this website recently and absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE it

It will be myself, DH, DS (will be 7) and DD (will be 4). We have been regulars at DL and WDW for many years, now we've finally booked our trip on the high seas

We've been waiting patiently for our DD to be old enough and potty trained to fully enjoy the club areas. We'll also be traveling with family friends and their DS (will be 8). It's the first Disney cruise for all of us and we're all so excited

Hey DizzylandDeb, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

My birthday is also tomorrow and will be cruising on my 37th (with that in mind, I think the time for me will go by rather quickly)

 

[dizzi]

Yeah us too.......
We hope to have a Bday dinner for My Dh in Palos, i am sure we will get one,

And we will celebrate my DDs bday at dinner the last night......or probably the last morning for breakfast if i dont want to kid myself....CUZ she will most likely NOT be at any Dinners!

That is Funny.......bcause that is my email address "dizzi 4 disney".....

Oh yeah 2 years........I was in our closet to day and i said i guess i willhave to buy a new formal dress and my Dh laughed and said...it gonna be 2 years FULL of buying stuff for the cruise isnt it.....

Have you Palos BEFORE?????

 

[DizzylandDeb]

Hey DizzylandDeb, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

My birthday is also tomorrow and will be cruising on my 37th (with that in mind, I think the time for me will go by rather quickly)

Happy Birthday to you too MouseMadness

 

[dizzi]

YEAH YEAH YEAH

DOING THE HAPPY DANCEEE

I am so glad to have people to talk to about our cruise!!!!!!!

yipee!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh MOUSE you guys are going to love the cruise!!!

i have done 2...... I am not an expert but can probably answer alot of questions!

 

[DizzylandDeb]

Have you Palos BEFORE?????

This will be our first Disney cruise, but the friends who will be with us cruise Disney every year. They made our cruise reservations for us while on board this week. I'm counting on my friend to be able to get Palo Resies.

I've poured over their cruise photos . . .and this board for the last year anticipating THIS sailing. I'm so excited, I could burst.

 

[dizzi]

I think it will be slow going in some respects, But i do know how time flys as we GROW OLDER....

But part of the fun is planning.

Glad you found us MOUSE.........
These boards are great!!!!!!!!

 

[dizzi]

Palos is really nice we enjoy it.

You will see mixed reviews but we highly enjoy it.

We have done all 3 types of sessions at Palos

Dinner, Brunch and High Tea.

i loved themall but i think my favorite was HIGH TEA.
Funny isnt it the least wanted one is my favorite......

but it was quiter and more relaxed and not so stuffy but stuffy enough you still felt well taken care of.

The views are to die for !!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[MouseMadness]

YEAH YEAH YEAH

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I'm sure I will have LOTS of questions to ask (after all, I have 2 years to think about them)

I am curious, some of the other crusie threads have "named?" their cruise...is this somthing we will do as well? I'd love to have a T-Shirt made for the kids with a name, sail date, etc.

Also, is this where we join in on a fish extender exchange? I've read a few threads on that as well and that sounds like so much fun to do Have you participated in this before?

 

[dizzi]

OF COURSE we can name our thread anything we would like ......i just couldnt come up with any thing GREAT! What i came up with DH laughed at.....so i thought i would let someone else.

yes we can do tshirts
And
we can do a Fish extender (FE) swap they are fun I have done it both times!

It is fun to look for things over the YEARS to put in the FEs

 

[DizzylandDeb]

I'm not really good with names either . . .will leave that to someone with more imagination than mine.

Can't wait to see how this all evolves . . .count me in!

 

[dizzi]

My first Disney Cruise was called Sailing with the Moonies or soemthing like that

I honestly cant remember what the 2nd one was as i only booked 6 weeks in advance and had alot to do before we left.

But if you guys can come up with something.....COOL
Let meknow and i can go back to the original thread and change it.

 

[dizzi]

WEll, i am outta here guys early to rise for work in the morning so i can pay for our excursions! and drinks! and tips! etc.

SEE YA REAL SOON!!!!!

TTFN!!!!!!

Perfect! I can't think of a better way to pass the time. Honestly, around this house, the year revolves around our next Disney vacation

I am so glad I found this thread though...I have been driving DH crazy about this cruise and it is STILL 2 YEARS AWAY. Let's just hope I'm not posting about our cancelled trip in the future - due to a divorce because he just can't take it anymore
