September 12, 2009 ~ Last Call for Tortola!

[JsMom2]

Cool!! This is our first Cat. 1. We usually book 8532, one of the midship Cat. 3s.



We're booked in the Roy (8530). For our past few cruises we have sailed in 8532. So we will be right next door to our usual cabin.

We're in 8032 for this cruise and the one after. I once turned down 8532, because I was worried about the noise from the arcade above. It sounds like you've had good luck with that stateroom though, so is the noise not too bad then?

You do hear some deck 9 noise, running footsteps at times. Our family is not too sensitive to noise, so it did not bother us. I think if you are sensitive to noise you may want to avoid that suite.

You're doing back to back in 8032? How wonderful!!

Yes, we're really looking forward to it!

My "secret" plan (haven't run it past DH yet) is to do a back to back Repositioning cruise (PC or T/A) with either the special sailing right after or before. I know my DH will probably only do one of the sailings because he will not take that much time off of work, so I will probably do the longer sailing just with my 3 DDs.

LOl! I thought I was the only one that had "secret" plans, aka not running it by the dh yet!!!!! Sometimes it talkes a little time to put just the right angle on it at just the right time.

This will be our first time in the cat. 2. We've been in a cat. 3 a couple of times before.

With my DH, it's all about the "presentation"!!

I do all the vacation planning and basically just tell him when he needs to take off, the dress code and where we are going.

I guess we are the Opposite... DH does things and "tries" to surprize me with them.. When will he learn to use his OWN email address ?
because MINE gets all the Confirmations

It is a surprise. You weren't expecting an email with a confirmation for a cruise were you? SURPRISE!!!!

Since I handle the day to day finances in our house, DH has a difficult time surprising me. He's gotten better the last few years, does a lot of shopping at the last minute and even has our jeweler hold off charging the cc until he has given me the gift.

How's everyone's weather? Here in the "metropolis" of Lake Villa it is a balmy 35 degrees and last night we added a few more inches to our remaining couple of feet of snow!! I'm so looking forward to spring!!

 

[rotary2808]

DH still manages to surprise me even though I do the finances too. He's got cc's that are his alone, but I don't think he uses those. So I don't know how he does it.

It's rainy and drab here. At least it's not too terribly cold, it's in the 50's. The weekend is supposed to be nice and in the 60's, thank God. I'm so ready to go to the beach in a couple of weeks and hopefully to some nicer weather.

I am beyond thrilled- we just booked for Sept. 12, 2009. So far away, but kinda fun to have something to look forward to. We did the 3 day cruise Sept. '07 and are hooked. My husband thinks I'm addicted to something called the "Dis-boards", love it and all the other Dis-board addicts out there. We will be celebrating our 16th anniversary on the cruise. It is DH, Me, Kids-12 & 6 traveling in '09. We had a hard time deciding between Eastern/Tortola and the Western with 2 CC stops. I know we will have fun no matter where the boat is headed.

Don't know if any of you went through DU, but we paid $2503.00 for a cat 6 for two people... the same thing on DCL was $3217.00 ... that's a $700.00 savings!

Both prices are WITH OUT the insurance and transfers.

DU had some rooms with group rates I guess. Yeah for us!
