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

[Steffy]

Cool. Its fairly complete but I keep adding things as people come up with new ideas etc.

Also anyone who hasn't told me about a celebration they would like in the list please do so!

You do have that Terry (tinker1bell) and I will be turning 60 right???

 

[UKANGEL]

You can help but to leave the theatre shaking you Roseary Beads

HA! Found you - even though I didn't the rum.

Packed in ziploc or El Cortes Ingles at the top of Las Ramblas has everything. However, they are closed on Sundays and the bottom floor or -1 (planta or floor) has the beauty aids and health aids.

....and don't forget Sephora's there too!

Hi. DD and I signed up at the beginning and had to cancel. I re-booked it the other day. Last Wednesday, the 23rd, I had to have emergency eye surgery for a detached retina. Because of the procedure used, the nurses in the OR said September 16 might be too early to be allowed to fly. Anyway, I don't know where to even begin to start reading and catching up on everything. Is it too late to participate in things and where do I find them? Please everyone, I need lots of Piixie Dust because I go to my doctor on Tuesday and hoping he'll tell me I can join everyone and be allowed to fly. Would love to see my old friends again. Actually, would love to 'see' better.

Bev

Hi & welcome 'home'!
Best of luck with your GP appointment x

 

[UKANGEL]

now's the time to go cruising clothes shopping. Yah know, gotta make lemonade out of lemons.

It's ALWAYS a good time for cruise shopping!

Anyone else have the IPad and bringing it (hope I did not miss that conversation)?

I wish!

wohooooooooo.

Well, half an hour before work is finished, woohoo, day shift is arriving,byeeeeee

if it rains a lot I will check in , Lynne xx

Have fun Lynne!

Congrats Sarah! I'm trying to do some stuff today too - mainly sorting out the Navigator again

Speaking of which, when would people like to have the navigator? I was thinking around August 18th so its a month in advance. What do people think?

sounds good to me Sarah!

For formal on both nights I will be wearing long dresses and Carl a Tux.
For semi formal and Palo I will wear Cocktail type Dresses and Carl a Lounge suit.
I love to get dressed up, so will take Summery Dresses and Skirts for the other nights and Carl normally wears Trousers with short sleeved Shirts.
We have paid for 2 extra cases.
I am off Cruise Clothes shopping this afternoon with Carl. In the UK we have sales at the moment so hopefully I can find some bargains.

I am geting more and more excited now as each Friday comes along. The weeks are flying by now. My eldest daughter Rachel went on maternity leave yesterday, as she only has 7 weeks now until her 2nd baby arrives
Keeping my fingers crossed that Baby, comes quite close to the due date, so that I have more time before the cruise, to spend with her.
Have a good day everyone, no doubt I will have loads of pages to read when I sign back in tomorrow .

Hi Jan, have a good time cruise shopping! we paid for 2 extra bags too
Fingers crossed that your dd has her baby close to her due date!

Cool. Its fairly complete but I keep adding things as people come up with new ideas etc.

Also anyone who hasn't told me about a celebration they would like in the list please do so!

We'll be celebrating my husband, Greg's 55th Birthday on 9/20 and our 33rd Anniversary on 10/1.

Thanks for organizing this!

Hey Sarah - I don't know if you have it, but we will be celebrating Abby turning 13!!! Thank you!

Bev - good luck at the doctor with your eye - hopefully you will get great news about the cruise and traveling in Sept.

Becca - CONGRATS on the cast coming off.

DH is getting some great job prospects, we are excited. Thanks for the pixie dust!

 

[BoosGram]

Good morning (or afternoon) to everyone. I hope our cruisers who have been under the weather are feeling better.

We've been so lucky the last 3 days. After over 2 weeks of 90+ weather, we've had a break (although the heat is coming back soon). The last several nights have been in the 50s! That makes for wonderful sleeping conditions .

I'm in awe of all of you who are planning on bringing your beautiful dress-up clothes (the pics of those 2 dresses are gorgeous, btw; personally would go w/the straps since the "girls" need some support, iykwim). DH is still not wanting to bring any kind of formal wear, so I guess we'll be doing Topsiders like Paula (hey Paula, want company?).

Questions for anyone who has used Disney before for their travel: I am assuming we'll be doing an overnight flight, so any idea what time we'll be arriving in Barcelona? Will there be time for some touring? Is that even a good idea? TIA.

Yes ladies I have you both on the list!

No I don't! When's her birthday?

Dan doesn't want to bring formal wear either I've just told him he has to wear the suite I probably end up ordering for him lol!

Haven't used DCL travel though

I am with you and Paula at Topsiders. We do one formal, but not two. Abby will be dressed in a gown with tiara, but I will just have on a dress. Going back to our conversation before - love jet fuel, hate dress up!

Good Morning everyone. Hope you don't mind another last minute joiner. Yesterday we found this great deal on this cruise and decided we couldn't pass up the opportunity. I booked my cabin and air ticket. Now I'm in a panic. HELP

We are coming in to Barcelona on the 14th and need help deciding where to stay and what to do. We have traveled in the US and on Disney cruises but never Europe and we don't speak anything but English. Disney lovers are the best so I feel ok reaching out for your help and asking you to share your knowledge with us.

Look forward to meeting all of you and sharing the excitement of planning for this cruise. Oh, we live in San Francisco so if any of you are coming to the west coast when the Wonder is here next year we would be happy to share info about our side of the country. We just came back from an Alaska cruise and have learned so much about that beautiful state.

Welcome Bob and Val!!! If you read the first two pages of this thread, you will learn so much including where to stay in Spain. We don't get into Barcelona until the morning the ship leaves so cannot help there but everybody on here has been wonderful. It will be a fun cruise!

Hi guys welcome! Don't worry too much. Plenty of time to get things sorted.

As for Europe, most of Barcelona speak English so no need to worry too much.

I'm Sarah and I'm travelling with my partner Dan. Its my 6th cruise and his first so this should be fun. We're from South Wales in the UK and are flying in on the 17th

Welcome aboard!! We are Noel and John and also live in SF Bay area as you can see from my siggy. Check out the first page of this thread for all the fun things we are planing for this cruise. We also have a website www.transatlanticpirates.com where you sign up and see other DISers. I am organizing a private tour in Maderia, for example.

DH was in Barcelona in Feb and says no problem with not speaking Spanish or Catalan. Many people speak English and he had no problems.

If you look on the first page, you will see where many people are staying to give you some hotel tips. We fly into Frankfort on Sept 14 and arrive in Barcelona on the 15th.

Love to hear all about your Alaskan cruise!!

As far as formal wear, I'll be wearing the same dress for formal night, semi-formal and Palo. I'm not the dress up type and only own one dress! DH will just bring his suit for all three, also. Less luggage space needed!

DS12 has grown almost 3 inches since our December cruise, so I have to see how his suit fits. I think I'd better wait until August, though. He seems to be growing by the minute. Now, if he would only gain some weight. He is 5' 2 1/2" and weighs 78#. I keep trying to donate my extra weight to him but it's not working!

DS10 has grown a few inches, too. So, I might be buying 2 suits. I'm going to have to put that on my cruise to-do list.

 

[Witherbark]

Hello again all! I haven't posted much but have been following along eagerly. Best wishes to all who have been under the weather for a speedy and complete recovery.

Thanks to those who caught the military rate discounts coming out. I wasn't sure if we could get it since we booked through USAA, but called this morning anyway. I figured what was the worst that would happen; I'd just be in exactly the same spot I was before. So I called and (drum roll, please) managed to save over $1500. DH was thrilled.

Anyway, I hope to be able to post more, but I am lurking.

Sarah, DH (Greg) and I (Erica) will be celebrating our first anniversary (9/5, but celebrating on the cruise).

I am thinking of Topsiders for 24th, I figure after my spa treatment I won't want to get all gussied up.
