Good Morning all

Well we are doing our usual Pre cruise routine. Flying into MCO on the 18th taking Magical Express to Old Key West for one night . Next morning we will be picked up by Joanne and Roger then off to Downtown Disney for our traditional Icecream Lunch at Ghirardellis. Then on the way to port we stop at the Disney oulets on the way. Then on to the Comfort Inn at Cocoa Beach and a walk on the beach. Then an evening at the Inn with our cruising friends. Up in the morning and off to port for a 11:00 AM checkin.

I love the photo of the Fantasy! I can't wait till Oct. 20th when we finally get to board that beauty! I've missed out on a lot on the board because I've been busy with school.


My husband and I will be celebrating three special occasions on this cruise, our 3 and half year wedding anniversary, my graduation with a Bachelors of Science in Nursing and his birthday! I can't wait, we have had to put off our wedding anniversary because I was very busy with my last two semesters of nursing school, so we are ready for some fun and relaxation! We can't wait to join all of you on the cruise!

We are celebrating my nursing degree as well! Very cool. It will be a safe trip for everyone, haha. I just have my ADN for now, starting my BSN program next year, once I get a little more settled in to my new job in the emergency department!

Congratulations! I start orientation for my labor and delivery position Sept. 4th, glad to know there is another nurse celebrating on the cruise.

I just graduated yesterday, I got to rest today and tomorrow I start a three day Hurst review to help get me ready for NCLEX.

I'm not sure. It was for my husband. It was for certified divers, so that may very well be the reason it was cancelled.

Well, congratulations, Stephanie, for all that you will be celebrating. My friend Sherry who is on this cruise as well is an RN. I am going to feel very safe and cared for on this cruise.!

Good luck on your NCLEX!! It's not as bad as they say it is.

 

[lewiskids004]

I am willing to help out with the organization and getting the groups together sooner.

We can start 2 groups one for those of us who wish to go ahead and know who is in our group, have it finalized and get started and those who prefer to wait until the later date to get started.

Just wondering on the status of the FE list? I know the list is updated on page 1, but has the final list been made? just wondering how many goodies to make or should I continue making?? Thanks to Brenda and one cool wife!

Brenda is going to be handling it, I don't think any info will be mailed out until Sept 9.

GREAT!!! We need all the nurses we can get on this cruise! Congratulations to you both!! That was one of the most exciting times in my life as well! I'm also a fellow nurse and graduated in 2000.

Best of luck!

It's a regular medical convention!

Hopefully there's less of this and more of this!!

Thanks Eva for posting the photo of the tshirt design.

The shirts are white with the full color digital printing process for creating the graphic. The shirts will be the Gildan brand name and they are 100% cotton preshrunk. In order to keep costs minimal, it would be best for us to keep the order a single color. If we go with this option, the shirts will cost $10. Shirts sizes are available for youth sizes (sorry, no toddlers/infants) and adults - S-XL. Adult XXL-4XL will cost a couple of additional dollars.

I will be happy to ship the shirts to you. I'd ask that you cover the shipping costs - it appears the USPS flat rate service/pricing would be the most advantageous. If you are outside the US - I have a Fedex and UPS nearby.

I would ask for a cut-off date for August 17th for shirts. The process is usually a 2 week turnaround and I'm planning ahead for some events at work that will be consuming my time in September. This will give me time to ship out the shirts.

If you would like to order a shirt - please send me an email - carrie0896@gmail.com or PM. I will need you to specify adult or youth, size, and quantity.

I hope this answered some of the questions out there. Feel free to post or message me if you have any other questions/suggestions.

Deadline for t-shirts is coming up! Don't forget to put in your order if you want one!!

I was price shopping cruises for next year, when we will want to bring our little one, between Disney and Royal Caribbean (don't tell Mickey!). I was really surprised to see that the prices are almost the same between The Fantasy and the Freedom of the Seas for a Caribbean cruise. Different ports, but similar in most ways. Plus, we'd have to pay for child care either way since he won't yet be three. With the on-board discount, it's actually CHEAPER for us to cruise Disney. I am pleasantly surprised and a little shocked, to be honest, haha.

Great! I'm glad to see Disney come out on top for once in the cruise price wars!

 

[EvaSue]

Seriously, right!? Even the hourly rate for the nursery was cheaper with Disney!

I always say "no CPR until I verify the cash-i don't bill insurance" hehehehe! Just kidding!!! In nursing you have to have a sense of humor at all times or you will go CRAZY!!
