[Tink rules]

My diplomatic team... you know the ones who dress so snazzy... better behave... or else they will find themselves vacationing at the Arctic Palace next year...

 

[iankh]

Oh yes, I remember. I think if we had known we would do another cruise he would have bought one. He might do yet as of course we have the TA next year all being well?

If you can do it, I recommend Tuxman. He can be found on Ebay, but I went directly to them. Something to keep in mind is that you'll be down in WDW in May, and shipping to Florida (which would be cheaper than the UK).

Mind you, they were used, former rentals, but I think they were fine.

If I really needed a tux and wore one often, they would not be what I would have chosen, but as a "costume" for an event night they were fine.

 

[iankh]

The tuxes will be only one of our outfits. We still have the wedding wear to work in, but that is more appropriate for something during the day. It's not appropriate evening wear, unless one is going to promenade and then sit and have a drink in a nice piazza.

It is a pity they don't do group high teas.

 

[Tink rules]

That never stopped us... private room at Palo anyone???

 

[pfishgirl]

Has anyone tried? What if someone faxes a request for a group High Tea? I know in my group, would have 3 women at least.. We could have 6 if needed cause I can add the Men..

 

[pfishgirl]

I'm still working on it... but I will expect my Royal Contingent to act appropriately if my absence on crucial business delays my journey... or else they may find themselves banished to a less civil kingdom....

So you plan on your Subjects to behave if you are late and can't keep them in line? I'm sorry did you forget who was all involved here?

 

[nskjerven]

I'm sure you'll understand, but I will be unable to acknowledge our acquaintance, during the public gatherings.

oh you so are setting yourself up for something here, not quite sure what but I'm sure it will be fit to your comment

 

[nskjerven]

Have you booked yet Michelle?

I always laugh when this minor detail gets brought up. More importantly, have your aunt/uncle or cousins even told you if there is a party that week(end)??? Can you ask??? just book it already...

Huh?

You obviously spent too much time with those other odd talkers on here.

I think she said if Ian and Sukie don't behave like formal dignitaries then they will be stuck in the slums with me

It's not that I have anything against you common people. You are a credit to your class. But, well, to acknowledge one in front of the public eye. That is another matter altogether.

I will be very happy to give you a cordial "hello" below stairs.

My dearest Nanette. Have I not told you that you are indeed pleasing eye candy?

 

[iankh]

Why can't we get a group tea in the private room? I did say there would be an Edwardian Tea, didn't I? Although, I had no idea what that meant. Just that it sounded good.

Shall I start working on it?

dude you are so toast...be afraid very very afraid...

 

[Tink rules]

Ian...

A Queen in Steerage is a very dangerous thing...

(insert evil laugh...)

But isn't she in a room with a veranda?

 

[iankh]

I see you didn't object to being called eye candy.

 

[ibouncetoo]

I've been thinking about formal night. Are any ladies going all out in long dresses? What about tuxes for the men? I'm not sure what to do this time. John hired a tux for the PC, but I think he won't want to bother this time with the extra costs of everything due to the exchange rate. I didn't wear a long dress and would have to buy one!

Do you even need to ask about the tux?

Don't know what the 'family consensus (sp???) will be. I'm sure it won't be tuxes for the boys. Who know's what size I'll be then? Also, I want to pack as light as possible with the WDW wardrobe being required also.

It is a pity they don't do group high teas.

No private dining room for tea....we tried on the WBPC. We can attempt to coordinate a date for on line booking and then adjust on the ship. They actually don't take very many on line reservations, so it pretty much has to be worked out on the ship...we had lots of wait-lists for tea. And then PJ managed to 'tweek' it the day of...bless his heart! (they do no fill Palo for tea...basically they just use the perimater area)

.

I trust them implicitly...

But isn't she in a room with a veranda?

I don't think on this one... She could be close to YOUR accomodations... she's sailing with Lady Monica on this journey...

I see you didn't object to being called eye candy.

Talk to Monica cause she knows how to get into Palo more times than we can count... right Monica?

Be nice... or else she's gonna get more shampoo than you will..

 

[ragdoll]

I do believe Donna that you and Harry are going to try and get away with only a carry on for this cruise... come on...you did 2 weeks with only one bag each

Oh my, that is too funny! I have been telling Harry that I will be just taking a carry on. I believe I could do it if we weren't going to WDW for five days precruise. I may just look at this as a challenge and see if I can pull it off. He will be taking a suitcase. If I can just tuck a couple of things away in his suitcase it just might work..
