And to you as well! I'm planning to chug a litre of maple syrup to celebrate, then ride my moose out to the pond, play a little hockey until it's time to ski for the afternoon!

On second thought, maybe I'll just hoist a G&T to celebrate, eh?

It's a privilege to live in Canada, and one I truly appreciate!

Meanwhile, Happy (prospective) 4th of July to all Americans on board! Have a great (and safe) one on Sunday!

Well today in Ontario we are celebrating ( not) the new HST)

You forgot to take a walk to the nearest Tim Hortons and ordering a double double

Or maybe for those in need of Chocolate a trip to Laura Secords yummy.

The Queen is in Canada and she said how please she is to see how much we have grown up as a nation

We are only 143 year old a baby to many countries. But after the great Olympics we showed how enthusiastic and passionate we can be

Did you know our National Anthem only became our official National Anthem on July 1st 1980 yup though we have been singing it in English since 1908.

To make it more complicated the french and English version are totally different.


Ok back to cruise talk

I do formal but cheat. I have one long black dress but two different jackets so that cuts down on space. Of course I wear different jewelry. Hubby brings one tux shirt and gets it cleaned on the ship and wears a vest one night and a bow tie and cumber bun the next night. Also he got his tux at a used clothing store. Saved a lot.

As for shoes I just bring one pair of dress shoes. To me none of my shoes show up in any pictures. Not like someone is ever going to remember what shoes I was wearing.

For pirate night we both have costumes but will not be bringing them. I got a great skirt that can be used for semi formal and for pirates. Just need to find a blouse to make it more pirate. I also have Mickey Mouse pirate ears

My hubby will probably just wear his dis transatlantic shirt. And maybe a pair a brown pants with a pirate sash. He does not like dressing up

If we are tight for space hubby will just wear his tux with a dress shirt and tie.

Theme night is mickey mouse club shirts and ears. I am not sure we are going to do this. If we do I will just buy cheap shirts and Wallmart and do iron ons

I bring less pants since I will only be wearing them for dinner but more shirts.

Remember you can do laundry on the ship. So that may help in deciding how much clothes you will need. And if in a pinch you can send your laundry to clean. They price by piece.

I do not get my hubby's tux clean and pressed before we leave since believe it or not is is cheap to have in done on ship. So I do not have to worry about is being wrinkled

Hope that helps.

Oh one of the formals is a prince and princess night so a bunch of dis people have decided to wear tiaras. Though it is not necessary

Thanks for all the info on formal wear. I think we'll have to get it all out and see what fits!

Since we travel a lot, we have a luggage scale (the kind that you lift the suitcase with and it shows you the weight); that has saved us the extra fee a number of times. All my friends borrow it now--I was going on a girls's weekend once where my two friends's cases were overweight and they were pulling things out of theirs and into mine at the airline counter!

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

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

 

[TotallyAngelic]

Forgive me if you've all covered this before but I'm just beginning to think about clothes for the trip...We like to get dressed up but the stringent weight limits on luggage have us wondering:

Will there be one or two formal nights?

Are any of the men bringing tuxedos?

How "formal" are you all thinking?

Also, I know there will be a "pirate" night, but did I see something about another "theme" night?

Thanks.

Andrea

Hi ... I will be bringing 2 formal dresses (long) and 2 semi-formals (1 for SF night and 1 for Palo, although if weight is tight I may wear the same one for both) DH will wear the same tux for both formals and wearthe tux pants for semi formal with a normal shirt and tie. We will both be bringing pirate costumes.

:Welcome: back Bev. Hope your doctor gives you the go-ahead to fly and your eye feels better soon

Since you have all seen the Cheshire Cat cast, I thought I should let you all know that it was removed today. We are down to a splint for 2 weeks, and then just if she feels the need.

Well done Becca .... must be a great relief to get it off. Now keep safe and injury free until the cruise

wohooooooooo.

According to DCL we have 2 formal nights. We (well Dan) are renting a Tux as its less packing space.

Which reminds me does anyone know how in advance we need to order this???

Oh and theme nights, I think maybe a Villans Ball night from the sound sof the med cruises and the EBTA

Welcome back Bev. Sorry about the Eye surgery! Check out page 1 and 2 of this post. I think a lot of things are still available.

Stephen, I thought of you as we were in getting x rays, and then the splint. I hope that you continue to make steady progress with your wrist!

Sue I'm glad her arm is healing well! Make sure she doesn't push it too much though!

For us, formal will be tidy pants and shirt/nice top. We are not "dress up" type people. We may even do Topsiders for dinner on one of the formal nights.

Welcome back and I hope everything goes well for your eyes. See the first couple of pages of this thread for joining in activities.

I will probably be a zombie as I doubt I will be sleeping on the plane. I do not sleep in moving vehicles. I have spent more then 24 hours straight on a bus and not slept. I did not sleep on my flight to London and it was overnight.

Sleeping at the drop of a hat is not one of my fortes. Lots of meds that make most people sleep wind me up and it is not pretty. So I hesitate to take anything because I do not want to end up on the plane climbing the walls due to an adverse med effect. I still plan to get off the plane and be active until 8-9pm Spain time.

I've thought about popping a pill to help with sleeping on longer flights but does anyone know if it would increase your risk of DVT? Just thinking if you went into a deeper than normal sleep, then you might not move so much?

Oh and theme nights, I think maybe a Villans Ball night from the sound sof the med cruises and the EBTA

On day 5 of the EBTA (a sea day), the stage show was Villians Tonight.

In the Voyage Navigator (the 14-night schedule), the evening attire was listed as "Semi-Formal." But on the Personal Navigator that day, the evening attire was listed as "Cruise Casual." At 10:15 pm, there was a masquerade ball in the lobby atrium.

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?

OK so a few people have asked how the postcard exchange is going to work.

The idea is that people buy postcards of their area/country/town/city etc and deliver a postcard to each person on the list. They don't need to be written on or anything but I'm sure people would like to have something on there to let them know who it was off. If people do want to write a little note on their about their country or town then thats OK too.

So far we have around 15 people taking part and you don't have to be in the Fish Extender Exchange to join in - but please let me know if you don't have an FE as then I can make a note on the list so people know not to expect one and can place the cards directly in the Fish Holder (they are built to hold letters etc anyway).

If anyone would like to take part that isn't on the list let me know. Currently we have:

- Gismo1554
- cruzdirectorkaren
- steamboat will
- Mrs Mork
- birkner
- pilk
- yukongirl123 (Trevor)
- Witherbark
- Bareacuda
- Disney Sweetie
- Buckeye Gal
- TheDisneyGirl02
- roseburghughes
- Sparky47 (no FE)

sounds like a great show


2 formal, 1 semi formal
Len and dad are brininging there kilts, I will be going full on with the formal nights, I have 2 formal dresses and lots of others, and then theres the shoes

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 .

That sounds great .... can't wait to see it !!!

I'm afraid this will be the last reminder for Secret Mickey as I want to get it all sorted this weekend. Anyone who wants to join in please check out my post on PAGE ONE !!!!!

Thanks

According to DCL we have 2 formal nights. We (well Dan) are renting a Tux as its less packing space.

Which reminds me does anyone know how in advance we need to order this???

Oh and theme nights, I think maybe a Villans Ball night from the sound sof the med cruises and the EBTA

Thinking back to last year I thought they needed tux orders 2 weeks prior to sailing. I just checkted their website and they say "Some cruises require orders to be placed at least two weeks prior to sailing. Please refer to the Frequently Asked Questions section of this web site for additional details." I looked in the FAQ section adn we are in the 2 weeks prior category "Some cruises require rental orders be placed at least two weeks prior to sailing (South America, Europe and other exotic or repositioning cruises)."

They don't offer nearly as much selection for the non PC sailings - you can ony get the black jacket. Shame that you cant get the black and white or a 2nd color cummerbun...

I think mid August is good. Still time to make changes if you need to, etc. Thanks again for dong this!!

 

[gismo1554]

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!
