October 20th 2007 Western Magic Part 3

[JLDSMD]

Any restaurant or nightly theme anyone really looking forward too?

Ours would be Pirate Night. Always a fun night and DS says he wants to go up for the fireworks. We went up only on one cruise and that time it was raining. Still had the party though. Just get too tired by that time of night. I think they have a dessert buffet that night after the party.

 

[JLDSMD]

So, are the adults planning any nights out in the night club area? What are most people thinking of doing - Sports Bar, Jazz Lounge, or what ever is in Rockin Bar D?

Suz and I usually hit the Jazz Lounge, but if something good is going on in Rockin Bar D, we go there.

 

[JLDSMD]

Seriously, is there no one to play anymore? I really should get out and finish cutting the grass.

 

[JLDSMD]

How many of you are looking forward to walking/relaxing on Deck 4? I've walked around it a couple of times, but never just sat on one of the comfy chairs and relaxed. DS wants to play shuffle board once this time.

 

[JLDSMD]

Suz wants to spend more time in the Quiet Cove area this trip. DS did less pool and more club time this last cruise, which surprised us. If it is the same this time, we'll be by the adult pool much more. Very relaxing. We love sitting on the edge in the couple of inches of water.

 

[JLDSMD]

Anyone planning any ship tours? Galley, Bridge or other?

We did the Bridge on our 3-nighter, pretty good. I'd like to do the Galley sometime, but don't want to give up my 2 precious days at sea. Maybe on the repo.

Some of the classes look cool too.

Hello everyone!

Happy Mothers Day to all you mothers....you know who you are!

Lindy Loo, thanks for the Mother's Day wishes We had a good day together all three of us. And we gave Kira cereal for the first time ever this morning! Pictures to follow of course

Karen, the white background on the ship is the same as the other lines but the photographer is always nice and patient and they usually give you idea for poses. Our fav pic was the pirate one of us with Rob on top of me. It was the photographers idea actually. It was funny, we were doing some poses and she said in her cute little accent..."do you want to get on top of her?" Rob replies..."Heck yeah! But I thought this was a family cruise!" So, take your time, get several poses so you have lots to choose from! And if they are doing photopass this cruise, then even better! No wasted pics!

We did the DIS meet by the Mickey Pool at 3pm last cruise and it was MUCH better than our previous cruise at the sailaway party. There was too much going on at the sailaway!

But I think we should have a sort of "leader" of the party, someone very extroverted and isn't shy! Someone who can introduce people to get things started. For my last cruise we talked for months and months on the thread and then we all got there and everyone was too shy to really talk. I only got to speak to about 3 DISers, the rest kinda stayed in the shade watching everyone else. Talking via a keyboard and in person are two VERY different things...I know that I felt a little shy at first too.

So...any volunteers?? (think Hauted Mansion! )

 

[JLDSMD]

Suz found all her stuff on Key West Friday night and was going through it. She found something regarding the Blonde Giraffe for Key Lime Pie. She wants to try that place this time. We did Kermit's last time. It was good too. We did it because the tour operator said it was the best. We'll judge this time.

Suz loves the frozen pie on a stick covered with chocolate.

Afternoon Cass,

Thanks for wrecking my page.

Just kidding.

Did you have a nice Mother's Day?

As for DIS leader, I volunteer Nancy.

 

[JLDSMD]

I'm off now to finish cutting the grass.

Then to pick up dinner (we were going to go out but DS got sick in the middle of this afternoon).

I'll check back in this evening.

Jeff,

Looking forward to those comfy blue chairs on deck 4!!! We watched the sunset everyday and just relaxed there! Although with early dining, we may miss the sunsets this cruise

Depending on how Kira takes being in Flounders, our plan is to drop her off after the show for 2-3 hours every night so we can enjoy the adult shows in Rockin Bar D. Rob and I love to dance and we don't get to do that much.

And I plan on being in the Quiet Cove hot tub every night around 11:30pm. My fave part of the cruise was soaking in that tub for 20 mins before dipping myself in that pool right before I go to bed!! THAT is VACATION to me

 

[Timon]

Jeff....OOPS Sorry! DOH!!!!!! Didn't mean to ruin your page! Oh well, you have enough of them anyway

Your little green light wasn't on!! I thought you left to cut the dang grass!

Afternoon Cass,


As for DIS leader, I volunteer Nancy.

Actually Jeff, the vote is in. We asked for all volunteers to take a step forward. We all stepped back and you were left alone in the front. Looks like it's you.


OR....whomever made the suggestion in the first place.

I always do the galley tour. The bridge tour is hit and miss with me. Galley should be interesting on DIS because they have 3 Gallies just for the dinning rooms alone. I can not wait.

Suz and I usually hit the Jazz Lounge, but if something good is going on in Rockin Bar D, we go there.

I love dancing so I would like to be somewhere dancing every night. My dh will just go where ever I go. We shut down the club on our Alaska cruise 5 out of 7 nights.

 

[JLDSMD]

we gave Kira cereal for the first time ever this morning! Pictures to follow of course

Sweet Mother's day story. Gotta love when they have the cereal for the first time.

I'm sure there are a few "motherly" people on the cruise that will help you out if you need some time alone.

 

[MinnMick01]

Is everyone going to the shows or are some people who have been on DCL skippng because they are the same as last time?

We've skipped the last 2 cruises because we saw them all the first cruise, but I think DS will be into them this time so we will try again. We will probably skip the opening night because it is the same everytime. I'm hoping for a new comedian this time - seen Gary Delana (sp?) too many times and the act didn't change. Don't get me wrong, he is funny.

We have not seen the shows so we will probably go to most of the dis ones but the outside people we probably will not do. I much rather go to a bar and get the drink of the day.

Jeff....OOPS Sorry! DOH!!!!!! Didn't mean to ruin your page! Oh well, you have enough of them anyway

Your little green light wasn't on!! I thought you left to cut the dang grass!

My light is never green.

I'm done cutting now. That's the thing that sucks about having a big yard, it takes forever to cut.

Let's actually talk about the cruise.

What day/island is everyone most looking forward too?

Mine I think would have to be Grand Cayman.

I have been to all the ports before so I really don't look forward to any of them. My favorite time is the days at see. I love not seeing any land and just sitting out at night and looking at the stars. It is so peaceful unlike the city life where we don't see stars.
