The Bahamian Rum Runners! May 18, 2012 - 5 Nights on the Magic!

Are you sure she wouldn't rather have a Terrible Towel? Just sayin... once a Yinzer, always a Yinzer.
FYI - A "Yinzer" is a person from Pittsburgh. We have funny phrases. Yinz could be said in a sentance like:
Pittsburghese: "Are yinz goin' to da sas side, n'at?"
This means: "Are you (plural) going to the South Side, (and that)?"
"Red Up" means to clean up. "Chipped Ham" is thinly sliced ham. There are several more I won't go into. I am just happy I rarely get caught uttering these phrases.

A fine beginners tutorial. And I swear I used "yinz" in my post after yours without reading this first.
Jeet yet? I hope yinz got Heinz on the boat n'at, you know, like on the Clipper Fleet, or I'm walkin aht... yoi!

I'm guessing DW would prefer the rum. She was born in Pittsburgh, raised in New Jersey, and is now a die-hard Redskins fan.

Yinz r definately not jagoffs! I'll be happy to share some fruity rummy drinks with you all.

Anyway..... have we started thinking of the DIS meet?

 

[Prozac07]

I'm confused, probably just cause it's past my grandma-ish bedtime (even though I'm 29 yrs old)...
So I'm booking my port adventures and it's not asking for payment info. I expected to pay now... is it added on your room charge or what? Please don't think I'm an idiot, I'm just a newbie!

 

[tinkmt]

I believe it is added to your stateroom account. I just booked our excursions too Got everything I wanted except the cabana on CC. I will just have to keep checking back in!

Im sorry, I don't know the answer to your question, but I was wondering if you could tell me when the dress up night will be. I am trying to schedule nursery reservations around it Thanks!

 

[MrsPotatoHead425]

I read somewhere else that semi-formal will be on night 3? But, Im a newbie, and I have no idea!!! I do know that pirate night is the 4th night though! sorry i couldn't help you out!

I hope I booked our excursions right... I feel like I'm not doing it right or something! I went under My Cruise Activities and selected the day and added the excursion I wanted.. and I printed out the waste of paper confirmation that just says the name of the excursion and our names... but that's it? I feel like I need something else!! LOL (or isn't it supposed to show up somewhere else? or something?!)

 

[Amberstar15]

Thanks so much for the reply! I was thinking night 3 also, but wasn't sure. As far as your excursions, it sounds like you did it right, but I am also a newbie. When I scheduled nursery reservations, I just got the same confirmation as you described.

Yeah... I reread the FAQ's on the site again, and it reads to do what we did.. just seems like there should be a confirmation number, or something. Now I'm just waiting for online check-in... which I thought was also at 12.. but apparently not!

 

[Prozac07]

No for some reason online check-in is 3 am, which is WAY too late for me!

Dress up nights are usually on sea days, which would make it the 3rd night for us.

Pirate night is the 4th Night, after we leave Nassau.

Y'all are doing your excursions correctly. As long as they show up on your "cruise activities" you are good. When you get on the ship, you will find your tickets in your stateroom. The charges will be added to your stateroom account onboard.

 

[MrsPotatoHead425]

Well I was able to check in around 2:30 this morning... of course I couldn't sleep until I finished everything so I stayed up to wait... and then I noticed the website started acting funky, but then after about another 30 minutes it was back to normal..now to finish my FE gifts and my planning binder!!

And by the way... rum is great with us too sounds like there really may be a party on deck 6!

 

[Amberstar15]

Just wanted to let you know my room number is 7043 (Miles Family) for the FE group

 

[ariel1025]

Sorry, I haven't been around this thread lately .... got a one year old keeping me running around 24/7

I think we are going to opt out of the FE. It sounds like a ton of fun, but with a toddler and entertaining my parents I think this would just add stress for me

Have fun everybody - only 72 days until we board the Magic

 

[DVC Jen]

You can add me to the list of "rum runners" as well... meaning I will run just about anywhere for rum.

Question... is everyone making their own FE? I am NOT a crafty person. I *can* sew - but I hate it with a passion.. so I ordered one from a lady who has an etsy "store". She just finished it and is shipping it tomorrow. Can't wait to see it. I will post a pic when it arrives.

I believe we have finally found us a name!!!

The "Bahamian Rum Runners"!

Whenever we see each other on the ship or ashore, we call out "Where did all the rum go?"

I assume you've worked out your crisis and will still be on the cruise with us?

No prob! I've been stalking your Pre-trip report (sorry I'm a creeper), your little guy is adorable!

I got 2 yds of AWESOME upholstery fabric that looks like it came form Aulani or the Poly or somewhere... mauve background with green diamonds and Mickey heads embroidered into it. Hard to explain but beautiful. My sewing machine is still in its box from 6 months ago, so I'll have to break that out eventually! Can't wait to see yours too!
