Sept 4-8 2005 Wonder S.S. Member Cruise! Part 2

[#1Mouse]

Today's fluffy question of the day.......

Have you never NOT gotten off the ship when in port?
What did you do instead?

We have always gotten off the ship. The last time in Nassau, we got off the ship for a couple of hours just to walk around and then we were back on the ship enjoying the jacuzzi.

OK, I have been offline a few days, because we switched to DSL, and there was a problem with out line. It only took them 2 days to fix it.

Well, I missed being able to post when I got my DOCS! They were in the door Wednesday night, when I got home.

I sat down and filled them out within a half hour.

Are the "tips of the day" listed somewhere ? I haven't kept up with this thread and searching could be hard ....

Tips are great !

Today’s thanks goes Noreen (nezy). I'm hoping she comes up with some more!

Well, we have only cruised one other time - 7-day Eastern - & we got off the ship at all stops. If we weren't getting off, we would prob spend time relaxing, by the pool or on our verandah.

We have always gotten off the ship. Even if it is just for a short while. In Nassua I have to go buy Rum so even though we have been there a few times, it is still fun to go "take in the local flavor"

I will be so glad when the Magic returns from the West Coast. I just went to the webcam and the Carnival ship is there and the Disney dock is empty. I will have to check in tomorrow and see the Wonder. to get our DCL fix in!

Squid

I think I'm with you Squid. I would at least have to "take in the local flavor" if we made a stop like that.
By the way you and my Dad (grumpy 1) need to save a seat for me at Margaritaville!

 

[nezy]

So I guess it is just me! That's why I wanted to know.

This will be my 4th Wonder cruise-2 were w/ family and one was w/ friends. Only one of those trips did DH and decide we better get off the ship, other than at CC.

So waht did we do on board? Adult pool, sipping cocktails, reading, spa.

I would in the future like to go to Atlantis--someday.
I am not a big strawmarket type. In Nassau, DH walked passed the market and found a beach to sit on that we could have a view of the Wonder. The kids were on board in clubs, so we didn't want to stray too far.

DS has asked if we can get off the ship this time. After the cruise he has asked-Where did we go? I guess I really should have the kids get the local flavor. Of course, Key West is a port that I am looking forward to!

Hey Squid check out this site. I think that is the Magic in the background. It's still a bit dark there so it's hard to tell.

I have it bookmarked because my sister and her dh are on the Aug repo, so I wanted to capture a picture of the ship in each port for them.

Mary-Glad you had a great time at the Celtic fest. You got me thinking-there is a Celtic Fest this weekend in Hunter Mtn.(catskills). we used to go all of the time, before kids. DH played the pipes for FDNY, so we were heavily involved. At the end of the fest there are over 400 pipers who march down the Mtn. It is a sight to see and hear! Maybe we'll have to check it out.

That looks like her-but is that live?

 

[bcvprincesses]

I can't believe that 2 weeks from today we will be in Orlando.

I still do not have my docs. Am I the only one?

I tried all day driving around looking for the brown truck to yell at but I couldn't find one. I think they know that they are messing with me and want to stay far away.

I'm not sure if it is live or not. The time is showing 4 hours behind our time and I thought LA was only 3 hours behind us.

I forgot, only 91 weeks till I can retire. Yes !!!!!

You poor man 91 weeks till you retire. I don't think it's a good idea to start counting so early, it makes the time seem to drag. I stared counting when I had less than 4 weeks to go.

It will take 4 months to do the exit paperwork. LOL At least it gives me a goal.

Lunch break then off to the pool for the rest of the class.

Hope the room tour is early on in the cruise, gotta keep the place neat LOL. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain....
