I wish I could come, especially with it being my birthday tomorrow as well.

Well, I have made a decision regarding my cruise dilemma. I will stick to this cruise and will transfer the reservation that I have for the Eastbound Transatlantic to the October 2nd 2011 Mexican Rivera Cruise. A lot of great people from my most recent cruise have booked this. At the moment I leave that as a solo cruise, but I am hoping to add DH to it sometime down the line. Apart from the great company, what convinced me in the end is that our favourite cabin is available for the Mexican Rivera cruise.

I still have not given up on the Eastbound Transatlantic Cruise. Maybe I can sort something out nearer the time. I just don't want to risk paying this in full and then not being able to go. As there is plenty availability on that cruise, I am hoping that I can rebook this on relatively short notice if we have been able to sort something out at work.

Corinna

I am so pleased you have decided to stick with this cruise Corinna as that means we will get to meet up with you. Hope things work out and you can manage to do both as originally planned.

Having spent a week there we will just walk from the port to the town. A very beautiful island.

I think thats what we will be doing too.

I do have the actual Parrot Cay recipe....however, it is for a LARGE batch, like 48 loaves or something! I am not sure if I will try to cut it down or just use my usual recipe.

WOW !!!!

That's the point I'm at for THIS cruise. I will be officially cancelling due to some medical bills and the cost of airfare. However, if fate sends me a pile of money (like enough to retire ) I can re-book at the 9th hour and not be too concerned about rates going up.
.
That being said.....

DOES ANYONE WANT A 'SECRET' NAVIGATORS VERANDAH? I have 7620 booked and would love for it to go to a DISer. If you are interested PM me and we can coordinate timing. No hurry on the decision.

I'm mostly sad about not cruising with my pals and not getting to meet some of you nice folks! But I will be on the Wonder Pamana repositioning in 2011, so I'll see some of you there!

So sorry to hear this Jackie - I was looking forward to meeting you. Hopefully something will work out between now and then and you will still be able to make it

It is a great feeling! I am excited now, and am telling everyone...

Me too - I have a countdown on our big notice board at work !!!! I will be driving everyone crazy between now and then talking about it !

Jackie we're sad too! Hopefully youll be able to get on at the last minute and still be part of it! I have my fingers crossed that we all win the lottery before next year!

 

[gismo1554]

I probably could pack... B ut come spring, I might miss my shorts, short sleeved shirts, bathing suites, etc...

It is a great feeling! I am excited now, and am telling everyone...

The joys of being in the UK we dont often need holiday clothes lol

WOHOW! Were all getting there. I think we may just got for Palo brunch (well actually I think I may convince Dan we don't want Palo dinner as I don't like the food).

Palo, youre just toooooo orginized worrying about that!

 

[Disneynut64]

We are having a DCL Houseparty Saturday. We are getting very excited. Today I shampooed the carpet then made up some Konk Koolers.....we had to try them to make sure they will be good. They ARE!! We are planning on having food from around the ship. Shrimp from the welcome aboard buffet, chicken fingers from deck 9, hot wings from the sports bar, banana bread from Parrot Cay, Mickey rice crispie treats, chocolate cups with strawberries from Cove Cafe, tomato basil soup (not sure where that is served), skewers of cheese, meat and olives also from Cove Cafe. A sail away party with Konk Koolers!! Trivia game after we show the DVD they sent us (the answers are in the DVD). We are expecting 12-15 besides Dennis and I.

Do you have the recipe of the Konk Koolers and the banana bread???

I'm very sad about not meeting the "Welsh Sarahs"

Thats a shame but you cant escape me that easiyl!

And to my "Theives" friends ....I'm betting there will be future adventures together.

.....now I must remember to pick up a lottery ticket when I'm in Casa Grande today...have a feeling a 'small town' ticket will be lucky....

[Pluto 2]

i dont know if i will be making this 24 night cruise i have the 10 night book before this. im still defintely going on the 10 night. i did the ta back in 07 so this time the med is the priority. its because i get 4 weeks of vacation a year and we are allowed to carry over 1 week so that will be 5 weeks i will have next year this cruise will take 4 weeks, than they make us take one week when they want us to. so in 2011 i will have 4 weeks i would have no vacation to carry over in 2011. in 2011 i have the first repo booked and the first alaska cruise thats going to take a little over 2 and a half weeks vacation. 1 week when we have to take it only leaves me with a couple days left in 2011. i would like to get back to wdw havent been there since 06 when i got started in cruising. plus i might try the dream. yes i still have the one week when i have to take the vacation but they might not tell us until a couple weeks in advance and than my wife might not be able to get off in that short of notice plus the prices will be a whole lot higher plane tickets etc.

I am so sorry that you won't be able to join us. I was really looking forward to meeting you. Lets hope that something good will come your way so that you can rejoin us somewhere down the line.

I am so pleased you have decided to stick with this cruise Corinna as that means we will get to meet up with you. Hope things work out and you can manage to do both as originally planned

I think deep down I always knew that there is no chance that I would cancel this cruise. I have become far too attached to people here and I also prefer having two Caribbean ports instead of an extra European port and the night stop in Barcelona.

Sorry that you won't be able to join us. It really stinks if work throws you a curve ball like this. I hope that you will have a wonderful time on the Med cruise, though.

Well I picked up an AZ Lottery ticket (jackpot about 2.1 million) and a PowerBall (20 million) for tonight's drawings, just in case 'fate' wanted me on this cruise!

Corinna Im glad youre sticking with us. I prefer this itinerary too as Dans never been to the Caribbean or to any of the ports other than Barcelona so this way he gets to see some different things to see.

OK has anyone been keeping an eye on the Med 2011 cruise threads on here? Seems that Disney has canceled July 30th onward Med cruises for 2011 and people are having to more. There's no news as to what is happening between this date and September when the TA is available to book. Will be interesting to see if they more the TA as I think alot of people would find a July TA better dates with school holidays etc.
