*Sept 10th 2011 WB Transatlantic* - From Spain to Space Mountain - Part 5

[squitty]

I Love Jesmond a very pretty place. What did you get up to on your holidays up in Killingworth or should I not ask?
If there are more people from Newcastle here, I wonder do any of you remember the Tuxedo Princess and I think a nightclub called Tiffanies? I'm really showing my age now but I used to go there every Saturday night when I was 18-19

Oh my word yes I remember Tiffany's that is where DH and I met - the rest they say is history!! We used to go regular too. Tuxedo Princess the floating nightclub on the Tyne. We only went once I think lol's You must be the same age as us

We used to have fun - nothing naughty, just play in the subway's etc...you know the usual things kids do. Funnily enough my cousins that lived in Killingworth emigrated to Wollongong, Australia - but they've been back in the UK for a long time now.

I put the Candy Swap on the Google Group now.

I made 4 groups (Thanks to Pat for the help), and most people are in more than one group, so remember to check them all.

Please check to see if I got your information correct.

Sorry for sending an email to everyone participating in the FE. But it was the easiest way to share the group.

I am not taking part in the FE so don't know how to get to see the lists for the Candy Swap...any help? I have not got any email.

I certainly hope so! We are booking nursery time so that we CAN enjoy the adult only areas. Now if they can just enforce the multi-hour-no-show-chair-saving-by-the-pool.....

The chair saving thing is a big pet peeve of mine. Hopefully it is enforced. I can save a few passive aggressive comments for those who choose to do this, though...my snarky comments go everywhere with me. Even on vacation!

Are the adult areas enforced? Not that I don't like kids, but I do enjoy some time away from them and I know on Costa it was not. And before the flames start... That is my only issue with Costa they were great every other way.

Yes they do enforce the adult only areas. Children can walk through past the pool but in reality most go along Deck 10 instead. It is quite a sanctuary.

Hi Sue

Why did I think I had replied to you already .... sorry I had forgotten. If you wouldn't mind Sue, it would be easier to get the cash from you onboard. I don't plan on using paypal anytime soon, so it would cost me to send the funds to my bank account if its under £50.

Other option is just popping to guest services when you board and stick the money on my stateroom account room # 6511. The damage was $28

It's up to you, whether we catch up at 3 pm or whatever. I can drop the cups round to your room if I don't see you and ask your room host to put them in if you are not there

We will try to meet up in the Promenade Lounge at 3:00PM, but if we miss each other I will put the money on your onboard account and you can drop the cups with our cabin steward. #7512. Thanks again so much for picking them up for me. See you soon.

I don't even use the pool sunbeds but people saving them even annoys me.

It's the saving of entire rows in the Walt Disney Theatre that irks me the most. My sister almost hit a man that was saving the entire second row one night on the Dream. He was so nasty and arrogant about it.

A man after my own heart!!!! Things like that really grate me

I like to throw around a few quiet comments at such an occasion!!

This gets me going too... BTW, I didn't know we were sisters. LOL! Actually, I think (and I have) I would just sit down in his row and ignore him.

Now, to save one seat for your spouse who is in the rest room or on their way or something, I get that! And I also don't mind if it is somewhat in the back but when it is good seats... chaps my hide every time!

Last year my in-laws took us on a Caribbean cruise on Royal Caribbean for my MIL's 60th birthday. They booked the Presidential suite. It was awesome... anyway, we had reserved seating at all the venues and even had reserved deck chairs. It was AWESOME!!! We didn't have to show up a half hour early for shows, we just walked in before they started and our seat was available. Now, that's the way to cruise!

I just had to get my sister out of there before she decked him. And she would have. Of course he would have deserved it how nasty and arrogant he got. We got a Cast Member and she told him he was wrong also. He said "then don't have so much for my Grandkids to do right before the show" Tough S--T, then let them do what they want and sit in the back like the rest of the civilized world does. Don't get me started

Your right, that IS the way to cruise. That must have been awesome.

God bless you early packers. I have so much c--p on my closet floor for the cruise I can't even find my shoes in the morning. I need to put in all in one "organized" HAH, place. The last thing you could call me is organized. Chaos is my middle name.

Pink Boas, tiaras, Secret Mickey gifts, embarkation t-shirts, Pub Crawl t-shirts, Pirate night stuff, etc. oh my. And that is not even the clothes I am packing, that is just the extras. God Bless all you FE people, I don't know how you are packing everything.

Jill - there is just one Princess/Prince tea for the little ones, right? So we would all end up in the same place? Not like Character breakfast assigned by dining time. Or is this what we ask Guest Services for tickets for the day of embarkation? This is Alice's Tea Party?

It is not the Alice's tea party.. it is the Prince and Princess tea party. It is by invitation only. Every child will get an invite to a party for a particular day. They are not all on the same day. You must RSVP it by dropping the invite rsvp form in a box at the gift shop. They will then send a ticket to your stateroom for the people you RSVP'd. This one is held in Luminier's. The princess's will be there to visit the kids and they serve tea and treats. It is so cute to see the little ones dressed up for the occasion. They give each child a banner as they enter with Prince or Princess on it.

The Alice's tea party is a paid event I think (not sure).... It will have Alice and some other princess's at the party. It is held at Studio Sea.

Very nice shirt Chris.

I just had the ones made on page 1. The Transatlantic/Ship logo with all the Mickey Ear ports on it.

Event organisers - please read

The new thread is ready for event organisers to put their info or placeholders in. The link is:

For everyone else, please do NOT post on that thread at the moment, we'll wait for this one to run out first.

Thanks everyone

It's sitting in the closet ready to go - trying not to wear it so I don't get anything on it.

 

[PFlamingo]

One princess available for hire here pat!!

Done! Watch it conflict with something now.

It is so cute to see the little ones dressed up for the occasion. They give each child a banner as they enter with Prince or Princess on it.

Guess it would be weird for the grown-ups to dress up. Wouldn't it?


Must get to second job (today) now. Wish this economy would improve soon.

remember we were talking about Augusta in Eastwood, and you said the family you remembered had 2 little boys and had probably lost a daughter? Well, that's Connor's ( Ian's friend) family. the Mom is Michelle and the 'new' baby is 2. Talk about a small world.

to all who read my remark (obviously not me) about a 'decent' airport in the UK, I apologise. What I meant was an airport that had international, intercontinental, and regional access. It was one of those open mouth ,insert foot moments and I am truly sorry. Next time I'll read before I leap. Jean

Thanks so much for the clarification!!!!! Wow. Would have so messed that one up!

So I need to keep a lookout for:
~ Character Breakfast (based on dining time/rotation)
~ Alice's Tea Party (sign up at Guest Services I assume)
~ Prince/Princess Tea (RSVP at gift shop)

And I am hoping there is the Bibbity Bobbity Boutique onboard as well. Just to let Sarah get pampered a little. (Her poor, poor Daddy when she becomes a teenager....)
