Noel, how about your Madeira tour?

 

[birkner]

if anyone has any info they want placed on the first page, please let me know, i'm getting a mental block so cant think of anything else!

morning noel! its only morning where you are, but its already getting dark here

Since we have changed the theme, are we going to change the logo for tee shirts and lanyards?

Noel, how about your Madeira tour?

I could post things about last years tour but I have not firmly planned a tour yet. What do you guys think?

 

[PFlamingo]

I would be willing to organize the FE, if someone can tell me what that means! We only had 10 cabins participating on our last cruise, so I don't think there was much to organize.

this weekend we are going to see the new Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows movie on the first day in IMAX in Dublin.

Oooooh! HP fans! DH and I are going to the midnight show tonight. We are actually geeky enough to dress up - I made us wizard robes years ago - except I can't seem to find my costume. Can't remember where I put it after the last movie, which is probably the last time I wore it. Oh well, I still have my McGonagal hat. We've gone to the midnight shows for the other movies, but I was thinking of waiting for Friday to go this time, but DH said he wants to go to the midnight show again. This is the man who is in his "jammies" and asleep in front of the TV by 9:00 every night. We'll see how he does tonight!

How about taking names of people interested. I know you have been doing that, but put a post up on page 1 about it. Perhaps a basic overview, but mentioning it can only go ahead if enough people are interested etc?

Please feel free to take over from me. Karen will put your name up there instead of mine. Basically it will be just taking names and folk in the cabins and room numbers and occasionally sending updates to karen to post on Page 1. Then as we decide how many cabins to a group etc, keeping things up to date, with room changes etc.

We are going to the 10:45 PM IMAX show tomorrow due to DH John's work schedule. We don't dress up but have to wait in line for 4 or 5 hours to get a good seat. Last time we went, we were interview on TV as we were the only one that didn't dress up!! The interviewer was amazed at our ages, our lack of costumes and the fact that we were reading totally unrelated books while we waited in line!!

 

[karentan]

that sounds like great fun, i will probably go see the new film at some point, but i dont think i'll like the fact that i will need to wait a year to find out what happens (despite the fact that i have read the book, but cant remember what happens!)

i can repost the madiera tour info if everyone wants it, but wouldnt it be a better idea to wait and see how many people are interested, and if the tour will even go ahead?

pat, just read marilyns reply to your post, would you like to take over the reins of the FE? its probably going to be a very large group by the time we cruise, and will probably need to be split into smaller groups. are you up for the challenge?! i dont mind giving whoever's organising it some help closer to the time if needed.

noel, i'm up for a new design to match the new thread title, but being severely creatively challenged, i'm not much use on that bit!

 

[granmaz]

pat, thanks for the offer of doing the FE, but for the time being marilyn has offered to start the lists. if she needs any help though, maybe you could help?

Oops!!! I am happy to keep going of course!!!

 

[karentan]

Oops!!! I am happy to keep going of course!!!

whoa! you posted between me posting the original reply, reading your reply, and changing it!!

so who wants to do it then?!?!!

 

[granmaz]

Well let's let Pat then. She wants to do it, whereas I was keeping names.

I think we should wait to post any more about the Madeira tour as this tour would probably be different and the costs may be different. You might just post the link to refer to last years tour and have people PM me if the are interested a tour.

Here is the link that includes Madeira tour, St Maarten tour and Google Calendar events:

Best way to keep track of FE is the way it was done last year by making up Excel spread sheets by FE group. See details here: FE thread from 2010 WBTA.

We can ask Jordak on the main thread to design a new logo. See the this thread for details.
Cruise Magnet thread

Well if you are talking Excel spread sheets that's me out anyway!!! They do seem to do a good job though.

Yes, I think that is the best idea. I gave Karen the link.

I think you make an excellent suggestion. We don't really have that many people on the list I suspect at this point. Perhaps more people will join the thread after the holidays.

 

[karentan]

pat, looks like the torch has been passed to you! would you like to do the FE lists? judging by last years WBTA, there could be anything up to 100 cabins participating

 

[goofieslonglostsis]

Ah, a new thread. Feels comfy, I have to say.

Who does what? What info do you need for the openingpost, Karen? You can remove the ? in front of my nick, found out yesterday this cruise is on. Real name is Jacqueline, want age? Oh what the heck, it's not like it's a secret; I'm 31. Would like to do the FE and Secret Mickey. Have done both before and they are so much fun. Stateroom is 6647.

Any plans for a stateroomtour? If the case you guys are welcome to check it out to have a glimps of which accessible features DCL can offer. Always good to have a mental picture in case of a loved on ever needs anything or whatever.


Mandy, congrats on being told youre bloodwork is back to normal. Worth a small party, if you ask me.


Today is one of those days, I guess. Awaiting a number of important phonecalls and nobody seems to stick to appointments and actually call back. Got through to most of them, but still awaiting a phonecall from the doc that was scheduled over 1.5 hour ago. It's past 5 pm so no longer able to call in myself -and before no real info other than being on the list, which I've already checked on online myself-. Who knows if the call will still come? I've had docs call in evening hours because they are too swamped, I've had appointments magically disappear from one screen to the next. I like the option of not having to go to the hospital for everything, but this is starting to become a bit annoying. (read; I'm impatiently awaiting to hear if I'm getting a treatment before the holidays or not).

 

[squitty]

I'm signing in...how lovely a new thread

Well done Karen

You will have to forgive me if I don't post much, but sometimes I can't reply to posts it just times out.


Karen my DH's name is Neil and we are awaiting our cabin as we booked a GTY

 

[IrishCowboy]

I have added your thread to the cruise meet list

 

[goofieslonglostsis]

By the way, as we're starting gathering a nice selection of people from different states and countries, how about a candyswap? I know it's been done on some cruises before, where those participating would bring along something typical for their country or state and exchange. Only downside I've experienced doing it; finding yourself loving something and not being able to get your easy fix at home.

Sounds like a good idea. Although I did not participate, I know that the Candy Swap was very successful on our last cruise. Candy Swap

i've posted on that thread to ask if anyone can design us a new logo. will post it on here as soon as i get anything through

What info do you need for the openingpost, Karen?
Would like to do the FE and Secret Mickey. Have done both before and they are so much fun. Stateroom is 6647.

Any plans for a stateroomtour?

if anyone has any ideas for info they think should be added to the first post, please PM me and i will add it on.

i've added you to the FE and the SM list, no plans yet for a stateroom tour, but if anyone wants to organise one, go for it!

I have added your thread to the cruise meet list

yay! all official now!

How about taking names of people interested. I know you have been doing that, but put a post up on page 1 about it.

Well let's let Pat then. She wants to do it, whereas I was keeping names.
