Morning Karen.

I still haven't read the new posts since last night. Will do after I get to work.

We made good head way towards that next post I see. We were around 1,100 away when they left, but are now down under 850. That is a huge move. At this rate, they will be way behind us.

They might have since 9/11. I know my father with be very disappointed if they did.
I did not know they offer tours of the Rainforest. I will be on that one. I am interested in figuring this thing out. I like the spa stuff. Secretly hoping my DH will splurge for a massage for me

Hi Carrie, The tours they have of the rainforest are just a little peak inside the room. When I said "touring" I meant I'll be spending my "at sea" days in the Rainforest instead of the sun.

Here's Kira having some cereal for the first time...

More great pictures of sweet little Kira. Love em!

Now I'm too old.

Nancy,seeing you are the lady with the "list" can you just confirm that before Oct we will be able to download or print a copy of all the DIS tag players.

Yes, Linda. I have an ongoing list of KK's with lots of important info on it already. It seems to get updated daily. Once we get closer to the cruise I will email everyone a pdf file AND I will bring along extras. I may just send them out to everyone along with the tag magnets when you order bracelets from Jeff. Then you'll all be responsible to bring your DIStag list and your magnet.

 

[cntkg1]

GOOD LUCK TODAY, BRENDA! I'm thinking about you.

Tell Rosie congratulations, is her season just starting or getting done with?

Heres the news so far on missing Maddie



By Peter Griffiths

LONDON (Reuters) - Celebrities and business leaders have put up a 1.5 million pound reward to help find Madeleine McCann, the four-year-old who disappeared from a Portuguese holiday resort 10 days ago.

Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling, Virgin boss Richard Branson and Topshop chief Philip Green are among a host of public figures to have offered money for her safe return.

"We are praying for Madeleine's safe return and can't imagine what Kate and Gerry (McCann) are going through at the moment," Green said in a statement released by the News of the World, which itself offered 250,000 pounds.

Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney, England cricketer Michael Vaughan, Everton chairman Bill Kenwright and Ann Summers boss Jacqueline Gold also offered money.

Last week, Scottish health spa owner Stephen Winyard put up one million pounds and a family friend has offered 100,000 pounds.

Gerry McCann said: "Anything that can be done to publicise that Madeleine is missing and help with the search is very welcome."

Madeleine, who turned four on Saturday, is feared kidnapped after she vanished from her bed in the Praia da Luz holiday resort on the Algarve on May 3.

At a church service on Saturday, Gerry McCann said her disappearance had unleashed a "tidal wave" of devastation on the family.

"Today we should be celebrating the fourth birthday of our daughter Madeleine," he said. "Instead we have had to remember what a normal, beautiful, vivacious, funny, courageous and loving little girl that we are missing today."

A new photograph of Madeleine has been released in an attempt to help the investigation. It shows a distinctive dark blemish in her blue right eye."It runs from her pupil into her iris at the bottom of her pupil. Whoever has her cannot hide or cover that up," Gerry's brother John McCann told the Sunday Mail, a Scottish tabloid.

Linda - from what I understand from the news this morning, Portugal Police have no leads and no suspects. This is awful news.

Kira wasn't sure about the cereal...I guess we will try again tomorrow and maybe she'll get the hang of it

Hey, I know...let's get Carrie a few drinks and then she can lead the meet

Hmmm, I don't like straight tequila either...but I love margaritas Never had a martini before

Well, another hour on the elliptical DONE! Only got 149 more until we leave for Florida

Cass,

Good luck with Kira and the cereal.

I like your idea. Carrie, looks like you better get a few of the drinks of the day when you come on board. You're leading the DIS meet now.

If you do martinis, don't do the Gin ones (so I've been told).

 

[JLDSMD]

Whats shuffle board?

I like the idea of these, bridge and galley - how do you book them?

The calories are creeping on at just the thought of that stick - yummy!

Never played shuffle board. DS just saw it and wants to play. From what I understand, and I will get it completely wrong I'm sure, is you use a stick to push a puck into a scoring area. You can knock other people's pucks out. Most points win I guess. Sounds kinda like curling. Now, like I said, I'm sure I'm completely wrong.

You would book the Bridge and Galley tours at Guest Services. This can be done right when you get on board if you like. We did that for the Tea with Wendy one year. The Bridge Tour we got later in our cruise that time.

You will love the Key Lime on a Stick.

 

[JLDSMD]

Good luck today Brenda. Hope all goes well.

 

[JLDSMD]

You call them Yards,we call what you have FIELDS

PS...Has one never heard of a gardener?......

No, not as big as a field. That is behind me. There is a farm right behind us.

No, in my subdivision we cut our own lawns. The snooty people live in the subdivision to the west of us on the other side of the farm field. They have smaller yards but MUCH bigger houses. You don't do your own work in that subdivision. We're just commoners here.

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.

Also Grand Cayman - we're doing the speed boat thing.

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.

Doesn't matter how many thimes I've seen the shows, have to see them again.

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.

Any of the formal nights - love to dress up.

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.

Want try our some of the activities in the new bar.

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

Cass - another place for a DIS meet?

 

[JLDSMD]

I agree with the Mickey pool meet. We had a kind of leader ( MJ and her sister Sue) they were FAB! We were lucky we all chatted alot straight away. ( I chat of England, be warned ! ) There were honeymoon couple Kelly was very chatty on line, however very shy in real life. That was fine, we are all different. By the end of the cruise we all got on so well. It was only a 4 day cruise imagine a 7 nighter!

Well Linda, since you have experience, you can lead the group.

 

[JLDSMD]

Wayne and I ( Well me really, i do all the organising,Wayne agrees, cos he knows whats best for him ! )

are thinking about doing Brunch and or high tea. Anyone ever done this?

Any idea where I can see the menus for these please?

Thanks xx

We have done both. Brunch is excellent.

If you want to see the menus, go to www.castawayclub.com. They have all the menus and Navigators on their site.
