Sept 18 2010 WB TransAtlantic Pirates/Capt Jacks Re-Repoing Repossession Cruise Pt.7

Thanks. This is all very helpful. I am past THAT age, but sometimes when I am getting ready after a shower I feel like I need another shower.

I have a fan (regular fan, in addition to the exhaust fan) in my bathroom just to cool me off after a shower, even though I try to take a shower with cool water. Maybe I should ask my stateroom host for a fan, but I don't know where it would fit! Deck 10 would work. It would cool me off and blow dry my hair at the same time!

I am getting really excited .... I have just won 3 dresses on Ebay

Well done Sarah!

Sometimes I feel quite ignorant. Had to look up fascinator; not something I've ever come across. I assume that a maxi is just a long dress? You all are going to be leading the fashion parade on the cruise for sure (I'll be a spectator at the back of the crowd ).

Oh did I miss talk of fascinators? Who's wearing one? I brought one at Christmas in the sale and wanted to wear one but didn't want to look out of place! Its black, green and purple!

 

[gismo1554]

I am the fat one!

OK Connie there is no way you should be saying things like that about yourself! You are the curvacious lady! Stop putting yourself down or else!

Have fun shopping! I just bought new crocs and am breaking them in, they are the comfiest pair I have had so far, more comfy than the the bug bulky ones!

It was me! I am going to stuff as many in as my luggage will allow!

Love it, you look fab!

Oh love the crocs! I've got a pair of alice ones that I love and purchased some Cyprus ones (or were they Crete) on Saturday so I've got some flip flop ones for the cruise.

Did you want me to put in the Navigator about your magazines?

 

[gismo1554]

Is the villain night also the night they do a masquerade theme? With masks? I think I read abt that somewhere.

And do u.remember was an icon? Like a logo.4.the.show? I am seriously considering making tux vests & ties 2 wear that night. After our last cruise we made custom vests that have the golden mickey icon all over them...then they cancelled the show!!

I think we are bringing our masques for the ball - they are old fashion ones on sticks but look nice

I was up trying to get my mom's reservations: I think Disney is terrible, I really do. No tea, no brunch, and the only reservations for dinner were the first night and Tortola. With all those sea days surely there should be enough spots for people to go to brunch and tea. And to not get one of the two I could understand, but both? It really leaves those people hoping for some kid-free dining time with a bad taste in their mouths.

I got so mad I canceled all my excursions with them except one. I was considering doing all the ports on our own (except one) anyways, and this just sealed the deal. I usually like Disney customer service but with the Palo thing they have their customer service in their boots.

I hope others did better!

I don't think any of us did any better. Not sure they released any extras last night!

I usually put my lightweight cotton robe on and lie on the bed to try and cool down before getting ready, but my face is still usually still bright red and doesn't like make up going on!!! There is always something.

Connie is a fabulous lady, we have met her many times, and isn't fat at all. She is tall and curvaceous as you say. I do think that we ourselves are the only ones that can say that of ourselves, and I used to say I was fat, which is what it really is however we try to use other words, but would never ever say it of anyone else at all. I have some fatty areas, hence all the Spanx questions!!!

I have to agree with Noel that being able to see the Mini-Navigator that gismo1554 Sarah has put so many hours into, even in a draft form, prior to mid August would be helpful, and I'm sure even more-so for those doing the B2B.

This may have been mentioned in the 20 pages I have yet to read, but in case they haven't been mentioned (or even irrelevant as you've been talking about the "right" solution), I'll add more groups to the list.

• Room Tour
• Scrapbook Embellishment Exchange
• Postcard Exchange
• Lanyards
• Come See Me List

If I get a chance later I may even send in draft 1 to penny tonight to check it looks OK once made. There is some great first timer info which is why I wanted to get it out earlier if possble, and I think most stuff on there is in a viewable form now anyway so would be useful. Ill leave out the Dis names list for this version as I think its not worth puttng this in yet but fingers crossed we may have a preview soon!

So, since everyone is posting their formal dress... Here is mine...

I didn't get a wrap as I run warm, now watch - this cruise I will be cold...

Love it!

 

[gismo1554]

Sue ... that is a beautiful dress too .... love the detailing on it. Very elegant. My formal is black too.

Is everyone wearing the same formal dress for both formal nights ?

I will be! I only have 1 and compared to everyone elses its not very formal but I like it!

So, what is a fascinator?

 

[gismo1554]

So, what is a fascinator?

Its like a headpeice. The type of thing you see "Mafia" widows wearing in all the movies. Mine is like a flower and ribbon on a head band and probably doesn't match anything I own but I love it! My sisters is even better as hers has a veil and everything.

Hoping this works from wikipedia (oh and none of these people are me but mine is similar to the bottom left hand corner but with dark green and purple in it instead of white and about half the size)

I notice when out and about that fascinators are becoming a fashion accessory rather than just for a special occasion. Quite a fun item. I wore one for our son's wedding and felt really good.

Its nice as I'm not the type of person that can carry off a hat so this makes me feel a bit posher than when I just have a hair band!

I know your frustration. I know release very few Palo reservation before hand. On the EBPC They was no reaservations for Palo before hand and on the second or third day of the cruise I contacted Palo about open spots. They had Brunch, Tea, and dinner available every day. I'm not too worried about no have Palo brunch resevation yet.

Totally agree. On our Baltic cruise Brent, mentioned a couple of times about brunch and dinner availability, even our head server was offering open slots. We`re just looking for brunch - any sea day will do!

Thanks again Hon, for trying for me. I realize, after reading the other posts, just how frustrating it must have been. I guess there will be a lot of us in line once we board the ship.

How cute are they!!!!. I had never heard of them but I come from a very small town where baseball caps seem to be the item of fashion - both for men and women. I will definitely be looking into these. Someone asked if we were going to be wearing the same formal dress for the formal evenings. I will be bringing two formal outfits. Neither, however are as gorgeous as those that have been posted. I am looking forward to seeing all the beautiful dresses. Trudy

Hi Everyone,

I am a great Rick Steeves fan and was on his web site. Here is a link for his suggested packing list. Of course, he and the other experts suggest packing light. He obviously has not been on a cruise with 2 formal and 2 semi-formal nights.

I've been away from home and the internet since Wednesday afternoon, and I have 44 pages to catch up on!! Here I thought that since the US has a holiday weekend, maybe it would have been slow. So until/if I can get caught up.....

Kimmy and I had a *fabulous* time at our little DIS Meets in Cleveland Wednesday night! OMG...that girl can make you laugh! It was awesome sharing stories and our excitement for the cruise with one another!!

How fun you got to do a mini meet!! Can't wait to meet the two of you!!

We sure have a lot of duplicate names on this cruise. Thank heavens for name badges and lanyards!
