September 12, 2009 ~ Last Call for Tortola!

[ibouncetoo]

I am getting terribly confused between cruise threads.

Here's my (just created) theory. 50% of your DISing time/energy should go to the cruise that's coming up next. 25% to visiting with pals on your old thread(s) and 25% on cruises farther off in the future. Isn't it a blessing that we have more than one to look forward to!

 

[TiggersPal]

I'm booked on this cruise and the western right after it. I know a lot of my PC cruising buddies are on this one and some of them booked a B2B too. Can I get a roll call of everyone currently booked on this and the western B2B? Thanks.

me and John
Kathe (who I know is not cancelling)
Marilyn (who might cancel the second week)
Jackie (did you cancel the 2nd week already)
Monica (already cancelled the 2nd week)
Ian and Sukie (did you ever book the second week)
Jan (don't know)
Woody (don't know)
Cheri (don't know)
Connie (don't know)
Mandy (only booked this week)
Anyone else I forgot

Is this a list for B2B? Or a list for WB? I'm on WB but NOT b2b... IS Now here is a question for you... Is the WB part of a b2b? CHERI please check in, I need to know if you can dog sit for me while I"m on WB!!!!!

OMG Maz........

"He came out on a stretcher, with his hand still jammed in the toilet bowl, which they had to saw clean off," said Benoit Gigou, a witness to the man's plight.

That is SO funny! I assume they mean the bowl was sawn off, NOT his arm!!!!! Will let Becky know so she doesn't try this on a train! Thanks for that laugh!


Deb, did you forget Peg in your roll call or did I miss her name...I'll just check again......



I went back to the gym today (such a good girl) and had a fab swim. I was the only one in the adult pool so I pretended I was swimming at Castaway Cay....*sigh* I wish!

Thanks for worrying about me!!! Also, WAY 2 GO GIRL!!!! Wish I could get back to the gym. I GUESS I could be there NOW instead of on the DIS...

Tell her to pop in occasionally. We want to try and meet up in December. Peg won't be pleased at you calling her Betting Peg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YEAH! Seriously, I have enough nicknames! But you are right, I'll most likely be off doing adventurous type dealo's with my BRO!!!!

 

[ibouncetoo]

Peg, a B2B is two consecutive cruises on the same ship. Several of our Tortolian pals are staying on the Magic to do the Western Caribbean cruise that follows ours.

SOME people (Tammy and our Mexico friends) are doing a B2B2B. A Med cruise, Barcelona to Dover, and the first Baltic in 2010.

.

 

[TiggersPal]

I know what a back to back is... what I didn't know was whether that roll call INCLUDING our wb... or ANY b2b.

 

[rotary2808]

Well, provided there are no crack of dawn excursions booked. I'm betting Dianne will want to shop or maybe do Coral World. Betting Peg and Paul will do some outrageous water adventure (heaven knows where their significant others will end up)

We are scheduled to arrive at 8AM...maybe the immigration thing won't start till then. Or maybe the feds come out and meet the ship earlier??

ANYBODY KNOW?

Where are all the rest of the Tortolians anyway?

.

I wouldn't think it would start until then since they couldn't get a customs agent onto the ship until they actually get there. The only bad thing about that is nobody can leave the ship until everyone clears customs. I think they normally have at least two agents on each side of the Walt Disney Theater clearing people.

Well, that would be nice not to have to get up at the crack of dawn! I guess we'll know for sure in April when the first cruise to Tortola heads out.

I tortolly agree with that! To compensate, I've souped up my sig...

Oh and I love this tiara...

Oh and I love this tiara...

Oh, now I like that. I've pinched your idea and put it next to Champagne Tink!!

Thanks Kaz, I love that you added the text so I stole it to add to my signature too. Good Thinking!!!

I think it's unanimous that we have found our tiaras. I'll order them now so we definitely get them. Thanks for participating everyone.

I also don't think we'll change them every cruise. I think we'll make them our official tiaras for the champagne girls. I better buy a lot to have on hand.

Hi Peg.....I think you might have the 2009 and the 2010 cruises mixed up. This one is the 09 Eastern with a B2B Western for some. That's what that list was for.

I think you need Cheri to dogsit for you on your 2010 Western TA. The list above has nothing to do with that cruise.

Is that what you meant when you asked? I hope I helped. If not, ask again.

 

[Tink rules]

Thanks for the heads up.....early morning room service coffee.....breakfast afterwards in Lumineres......sounds like a plan. Thanks Jackie.

I'm gonna go crawl back under the covers when I'm done... I hope you all don't mind but I'm coming as I am that morning... (If I book the cruise that is... )

I was hoping to win the lottery... do the EB, the first Med and then come back for one of the Baltics... I have to be in TX in between for Brian's graduation...

Hi everyone,
I have been missing in action this summer. For those of you who remember me from the WB PC cruise, I have been in therapy for my wrist all summer , and although I have a ways to go, it is getting better. I have missed the Dis boards, but hopefully I am going back to the part in this thread where I left off way back in June or July, and read all the post---or at least I want too. If anyone could catch me up as far as group plans, I would appreciate it. Just the condensed version--I know that's asking a lot. I am REALLY looking forward to this trip for 14 days -I didn't get to enjoy a lot of the latter part of the PC cruise, so I can't wait for this one. We are also booked on the 12 night Baltic cruise on July 6th, 2010-anyone else from here on that cruise? I need to go to that cruise meets board also. That cruise is causing some "price panic", but we have a long time to save up. I guess I have gone on long enough for now, but hope to be back on the boards now...Vicki

Hi Vicki, I was just thinking about you the other day....wondering how you were recovering. Thanks for checking in and letting us know about your progress. WOW it really is a long haul for you. At least it's steady and moving in the right direction.

The only thing we have planned so far is the Champagne Girls tasting. Same deal as last time if you're interested.

Some of us are doing the B2B with the Western after this week. Some have cancelled the second week because of their 2010 bookings. How about you? Are you planning to do the B2B Western after this cruise?

How is the jewelry making going? I love your pieces. It's good to see you back on here with us again. Looking forward to seeing you join in some more.

 

[EllaEnchanted]

Hi All you Champagne Girls.....just wanted to let you know that our tiaras have been ordered. I'm so excited and can't wait to see them up close and personal. They came 6 to a bag so I got 8 bags for a total of 48 tiaras. That will be well more than we need, I'm sure. Now I'm ready for this cruise to get here. Hurry Up.....Let's Go!!! We have our tiaras, we'll get the champagne onboard.....I'm ready, who else is?

Hi Vicki. Glad to hear from you and that your wrist is improving. It has been a long job for you.

Glad you liked it, Deb! It's amazing how the creative juices flow when you've got housework chores AND a 1500 word essay to write...

Hi Vicki! I wasn't on the WB PC cruise BUT I'm so sorry to hear about the problem with your wrist... I hope it continues to improve... We're on the first Baltic of 2010 so not your one but it's definitely gonna be fab - it'd better be because of $$$!!! Tortolly looking forward to meeting you next September...
Best wishes,
Kaz...

I'm ready!!!! Great news, Deb - makes the cruise seem just that little bit closer!!!

 

[CustardTart]

I just posted these on the Baltic thread but wanted to share with my Tortola pals too...

A couple of pics from my recent trip to WDW where I met my girl Monica!!!

Date: October 22nd 2008.
Venue: Beaches & Cream.

I ate this - a 'No Way Jose'!

It really is "A Peanut Butter and Hot Fudge Delight with Chocolate and Vanilla Ice Cream, Peanut Butter and Chocolate Morsels, Whipped Cream and a Cherry..."

Monica ate this - 'Mom's Chocolate Cake'!

The waitress took a photo of us...

And for all you Champagne Girls, I self-took a few photos of myself around the "World Showcase" - here's me with a Kir Royale from la belle France in the background. Salut!!!

Ah well, you get the general idea!!!

 

[CustardTart]

Sorry to bombard y'all but here's a few more photos from my trip...

View from the balcony at BWV - the quiet pool and ToT...

Me and my new man at Cape May Cafe...

My sons getting to know Don...

Matty and Samuel hangin' with Goof...

Posing at the MNSSHP...

Us all on Space Mountain - sorry about the view up my nose!

And on POTC - ditto the nose thing...

The boys on POTC...

Coming home...

And here's a little 'Champagne Shrine' I made one day when I was probably chore-shirking!!! The brands represented are Cristal, Laurent-Perrier, Bollinger and a boutique vintage from Comte de Dampierre... The glass was a NYE gift from the Marriot Marquis hotel on Times Square in 2000!

Who said I need to get a life!!!???
