What a great day for you.

WE loved the pictures and I think you got your clothes just right.



John will be interested in that.



Of course!




Deborah, either Northwest Airlines have made a mistake, or someone indeed is guilty of fraud.

I would contact your bank to look into it.

But which Credit card?? I hope it is not fraud as I am sick of it.

I emailed back and told them that I have no clue or are you winding me up??

I'm finding it impossible to keep up now that I am retired! Good morning all! We are still RVing it in Missoula. The house here closes Monday and then we will leave to go get our stuff out of storage...by way of DL! We will be at DL Wed and Thurs of next week then Dennis will go to the USC/Ohio State football game on Sat and we will leave with our DS, DDIL and DGS and their stuff. We will go thru OR and pick up our stuff and be back here to unload on the 17th. DS starts work here in the 18th. We are having a good time here reconnecting with relatives and good friends.

Hi Angie!!!!! Sounds like you guys are doing wonderful. Don't forget to drop me a note on one of your drives through WA and hopefully we can see each other, even if it is just for a cup of coffee! Enjoy DL and the travels.

 

[fourmcds]

I haven't had my hair done since before the cruise My roots are like 6 inches long My hair dresser is 30 minutes away and I haven't been able to get rid of the kids all summer. The last time I had is done around here it was way to expensive. We'll take a cute picture with our roots together

See, I would fit in perfectly!!! I haven't had my hair done either and it is out of control....my excuse, well I had this crazy summer!

 

[fourmcds]

By the way ... the next cruise ... bow tie lessons!

Once you've seen a real bow tie and not a pre-made or clip-on there's no going back.

A real bow tie looks much better and is really not difficult at all to tie, once you understand how it's done.

Ian...sounds like you guys are having a wonderful time......take lots of pics!
I think someone made a mistake on your countdown clock, it says your wedding is 11months away

Well, you are well organising lol

Deborah, I would look into that right away. Hope it turns out to be a mistake.

Glad that Olivia's toe was not broken...

Well at least we all looked good on the cruise I need to get it done soon so I can have it done again before the holidays.

LISA(DL5)....HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

What in the world is the green stuff in the jar in the bottom left corner of the picture?

Thats my special cup o' liquor! And my lovely forehead...nice shot!

But what is the green stuff?

Deborah - glad to hear Olivia's toe isn't broken. Did you figure out what was up with your credit card and the plane ticket??

Marilyn, I don't feel I can vote since I wasn't able to attend due to Tyler not being able to be in the kids' club, but if I had attended, I'd also be in favor of just keeping it the girls. Although all the men in this group are wonderful, sometimes it's nice to just have a girls' only get together.

I wasn't there either, but it sounds like I missed a great time! I'm with Holly, sometimes its nice to have girl things.


Marilyn - your vacation sounds lovely. have a great time.

Angie - sounds like you are busier than ever after retiring!

Ian - I love the outfits! I like that the were similar but not identical. I figured there was some symbolism there, so thanks for explaining it. Glad to hear you were nervous, but everything worked out great! Every wedding has to have something go wrong, you just had your wrong thing early with the whole trip to Canada!

 

[granmaz]

Deborah, that email is junk. Over on the dibb there are a few reporting having received it or similar. Don't open any attachments.

 

[Tink rules]

Ladies, I just want to say something in case you don't read my longer posts.

I want to put in a vote for Champagne Girls to stay just girls. I think it was special and as much as I love the men, I think it would change the experience.

However, as nothing is booked yet it is only thoughts!!!

CHAMPAGNE GIRLS UNITE!!!! ​

(i almost wrote untie... )

Holly... you were there by Proxy... I do believe we all sipped a little of yours...

Hi Marilyn

Got back from hospital, I hate it, waiting for aged!!

Anyway, Olivia got small cracked in her toe so need sole shoes for one or two weeks.

Ian's parent saw it and thought it was broken but it was not. I am glad that.

Olivia is happy now.

I forgot where are you going in 18 days ? I know not Tenerife.

Holly

Have a fun after work

Scottishwee35

Oh Deborah...I'm glad that it's not too serious... tell her to take care and we think about her alot!!! (and tell her to stop playing with the furniture!!! )

I'm there and that's all that matters I had a lovely day that day. Martini tasting and then champagne tasting How come no warned me

We did... you didn't listen...

I saw that picture and thought

We have a great place to stay. I will show you some pics in October.

By the way.....

Who can tell me why that is a special day?

I'm not sure What could possibly be going on that day

Haven't a clue... so you better rush home and let us know..

Here are some pictures I found on the web. The official HPB site is private so i can't show you those pics. Our own are on paper, so I would have to scan them!!

This is taken from the main pool looking up to some of the apartments.

Ok, a bit boring. I will bore you more when we get back!!!

Marilyn... tell john to leave the speedo at home... not even Michael Phelps wears one....

Hi everyone. Just a quickie, because we're heading out the door for in a moment.

So, let's see how this trip has been so far ...

Yesterday I finally mastered tying a bow tie.

Oh, yes, I got married...

Quite frankly we were both nervous and completely stunned. Sukie kept waiting for something to go wrong. I kept waiting for something to go wrong.

Nothing went wrong.

It was wonderful to have Kelly and Jonathan as our witnesses and the clerk couldn't have been better.

Kelly and Jonathan had a DVD going in the mini van of My Big Fat Greek Wedding, and a CD of the wedding march.

It made all the difference in the world to have friends as the witnesses and know that you were all there in spirit.

I guess everything just lined up right this time. It certainly felt more real than our attempt with Canada. Last time we didn't even know what to wear. This time, the attire was carefully planned.

Did you like the expensive hats?

Aside from the pseudo Edwardian motif I was striving for, there was additional meaning behind "the look."

It was intended to be old fashioned and us looking like two old "confirmed bachelor gentlemen" as people used to refer to unmarried men such as ourselves.

We ended up not going to Napa Rose. We were still too full from our lunch at Cafe Orleans. We had a 6:30 PM reservation at Napa Rose. I tried to change it to 7:30 or 8 but they were booked up.

I couldn't see eating a big dinner if we weren't hungry (that will teach me to eat a Monte Cristo).

OK, more later and perhaps some more photos. We're off to Disneyland.

NO NAPA ROSE???

So... what was I supposed to wear as my OLD MAID costume?????

Old... my A$$.... Unless you AND Sukie shared a flat with Jenny Lind...

Well...there went MY surprise...

By the way ... the next cruise ... bow tie lessons!

Once you've seen a real bow tie and not a pre-made or clip-on there's no going back.

A real bow tie looks much better and is really not difficult at all to tie, once you understand how it's done.

Your Queen approves just as long as she doesn't have to wear a bow... her butt looks big enough as it is...

But which Credit card?? I hope it is not fraud as I am sick of it.

I emailed back and told them that I have no clue or are you winding me up??

Scottishwee35

IT'S JUNK!!! PHISHING IS WHAT THEY CALL IT... it is a way to try to get you to give your credit card info, etc. if you ever get anything like it... first just delete it... and if you think it's real... call NW AND your credit card... they will tell you whether it's real or not...

Most are not..

Beware of everything that comes in from Ebay and Paypal too... and NEVER pay for anything on ebay by Western Union... it's fraud!!!! They are trying to take money that is hard to trace...

 

[Tink rules]

Going to the Greek Fest. in the city tonight... Gotta get my Spannikopita and some Lukamates!!!!

 

[Tink rules]

Some more of the rowdy teens on the EB... I don't know about you guys... buy MY mother would have killed me... (even at 44...she gives me the LOOK!!!)

I'm glad we did the cruise we did cause I LOVED all of our kids!!!

With respect to the rowdy kids -- this was the first time we've ever experienced this on DCL and we wrote something in our comment card about it. We did see two OQ kids get reprimanded by a counselor for sitting in the elevator talking and going along for the ride with whoever joined them. However, that was about the extent of any action we saw taken by Disney employees. We saw a group of boys by the Deck 6 forward elevators being quite loud one night and when we asked them to be quiet, they just backtalked to us. Fortunately, our persistence finally got them to quiet down and it helped that we knew one of the boys (he wasn't being loud but it was guilt by association). We also experienced a lot of running and jumping on the stairs, screaming and overall obnoxious behavior. The worst was a group of young teen boys in line at Topsiders bragging about how they drained the ice cream machine by Goofy's Galley. Someone else told us they would try to deliberately break the ice cream machines.

Kid behavior? Some of the worst I've seen. Out of control enough for Christiaan to practically beg parents to get their kids into the Clubs.....and then to have us come out of our room one night to find a kid stuck ON TOP of the elevator (Deck 8, Aft) with the doors open and it halfway between floors, while Security & Maintenance were being called to "unstuck" him....his friends had abandoned him, except for the one inside the elevator. I hope they either dumped the family off in Aruba, or made him stay in his room for the rest of the cruise, but I doubt it. From what I've seen, DCL isn't hard enough on misbehaving kids.


I would also agree about the rowdy kids on board. We have been on many cruises and never have had this amount of disruption and out and out obnoxious behavior. It seemed we couldn't get on an elevator without having to deal with visiting every floor and climbing the stairs was not much better as most times we were having to avoid kids either pushing past us or jumping around us. We were of course on deck 2 and it did seem like the kids were worse there but there was no reason for these kids to be wandering the halls after OQ was closed. The night I stayed up all night doing laundry I was amazed at how many tweens and teens, were hanging around in the stairwells and hallways at 4 am. Which was when I was delivering FE's so I saw this on many floors not just deck 2. My in-laws who are in their 80's had several stories to tell about the rudeness of kids to elderly folks who couldn't move as quickly, like stealing elevators and pushing in front of them in line. They also witnessed the ice machine draining. We even saw kids who were out and out wrestling in the middle of the hallways. When asked where there parents were they told us they didn't have any. When asked by the room steward to settle down they just laughed at him and continued on. Truly, I was surprised by the basic lack of manners and common courtesy of many kids. Now I know that this wasn't every kid and there were those who were very polite and were watched closely by their parents, but they seemed few and far between and like someone said there was probably a lot of guilt by association going on too. It is a shame that a few could ruin it for so many. Really makes you wonder what their parents were doing and why the kids didn't seem to know how to follow the rules. Of course, they were probably the same people who didn't think that the dining room proper attire request for No shorts, please, applied to them.
__________________

DD and DS both said that the game systems were always hogged by people and you couldn't even get on if they wanted to. The counselors didn't put any time limit on them. DS also said that he watched two kids break a game consol just because they could. He was upset by it because it meant one less game area that could be used to play. He also said that when him and his friends mentioned it to a counselors later on they basically just ignored it
and didn't even approach the kids that were breaking items

Yes for the first time ever my two kid avoided the clubs rather than go to them, usually they are in there 9.00am to 11pm, sea days and you wouldn't get them out, this time because of the game console hogging and behavior of some kids in the clubs my two just stopped going.

My son went to Ocean Quest one morning and got on the simulator for just a minute or two, when he said an 'adult' pushed him off and said he was going on it. I did witness some bullying of my son in the goofy pool, so went in, and was going to speak to the child concerned, but he went off and attacked another kids in the pool, and their parents told him off.

Aly and AJ were next door to us so we had a lot of kids going up and down our deck knocking on our door as they knew the approximate location, Aly and AJ said in the concert the type of room they had to it narrowed it down to our deck,


We saw alot of bullying and just plain rude kids. DS was in the pool the first day at sea for about 5 minutes when he came out and said that two boys pushed him and kicked him in the stomach, cursed and said to get out of their way. They were brothers and not more then 10 years old. I went over to see who they were and they were out of the pool. Parents must have complained because after that date a cm was at the Goofy pool walking around the edge of it. We saw these same boys, DS pointed them out on the next day at sea again at the Gooy pool climbing up the poles on the sides of that deck with their parents sitting there watching them do this

A few evenings the kids attempted to play foosball and one kid kept running up to the tables and grabbing the ball and throwing them away from the table. On Pirate night DS tried to play with another DISr's daughter and the same kid came and did the same thing. He must have been around 7years old as he was pointed out to me by both kids later that night

Once DS figured out the kids that he should stay away from he just wouldn't go to the areas they were in.

I blame the kids but also blame the parents for allowing their kids to behave the way they do

I am just glad that my kids ended up making friends with kids that were well behaved and very nice and they did have a great time. The kids were all hugging on the last night and not wanting to say goodbye

Someone in the stack had her purse stolen on CC day and her mom and her were walking over to the teen area to see if they could find it. The girl was very upset as she had her passport, ipod and other items in there

This in no way ruined our cruise - we really did have a TOAL and would do it again in a heartbeat

Andrew it was a pleasure speaking with you and your children while waiting for the doors to open for the Aly & AJ show

I wanted to add that this behaviour was not the norm and not a daily occurance just what stuck out in my mind. Even the ST we encountered were polite. I hope that my ST was one of the polite ones any of you encountered The teens we did see hanging out were just doing so out of boredom and not being disruptive


And other stuff...

We were told that the delay at disembarkation was due to a surprise health inspection. That wouldn't surprise me, since the ship had been gone for so long, and had been in Colombia.
