V - you & I posted at the same time

I was so excited. I did edit mine, so the thread would be so cluttered.

I want the 9 night and I might even do the california coast for our first B2B.

NO Still stinking silver. So I can only hope we get the same cabin. fingers crossed.

I've read that Gold/Platinum tomorrow and the rest of us (me) on the 14th

Right.

(I personally wish they would give us more than 1-2 days to think about things)

 

[Ginamarie]

Right.

(I personally wish they would give us more than 1-2 days to think about things)

Especially because I'm still not clear on exactly what weeks the ship is going to be where..

There's no mention of Transatlantic cruises in the announcement, though I'm thinking the ship has to get from Barcelona to San Juan at some point! I'm hoping they won't sail the ship empty again like they are doing this year.

If they are, I might look into a 9 night Southern itinerary, but still not sure on dates, etc.

Just found this too. Looks like the 5 night to vancouver will sail out of San Diego. Humm. Interesting.

 

[Ginamarie]

Yay- WBTA is a go and I LOVE the itinerary. It's like a cross between a med and a Southern Caribbean. I have wanted to see St. Kitts and the Canary Isles

Of course, I'll be at the doctor at 8 am tomorrow, so I need to figure out who's making the booking in my place!

 

[Frodo UK]

I wonder? San Diego/Vancouver repo + 1st Alaska. (Did on Holland America 2009)

 

[HollyTyler]

Hmmm.....now I don't know. 9 day AK is out for me because of school and TA and any cruise requiring airfare to Europe would be way beyond my budget. I guess I'll just wait and see what the poll ends up showing. Too confusing for me to think about today.

 

[mishoe01]

I'd love to do the Greek Isle cruise in/out of Venice, but I really don't think it will happen. Will, Mick & I finally put our feet down and said 2014 WILL take us to Argentina/Brazil.

I know I don't have the funds to put down a deposit now anyways, so luckily I don't have to make any decisions for me as of yet.

For those of you on FB - I'm sure you read my news

I am becoming a mom...to a furry 10 month old baby. A female kitten named Freckles. She's all black with a white spot on her chest. My friend Meghan has had her since birth (owned her mom) and would love to keep her, but 1 of her sisters just passed away, and Meghan now has 4 boys (8,5,5,3) to care for (she had 1 5 yo herself). Her husband told her that the cat had to go. Too many mouths to feed now.

I'll go pick her up tomorrow after work.

 

[Krisann]

I have not been able to cruise since coming back from the WBTA in 2011 and will not be on the TA this year, BUT I am going to figure out a way to be on both in 2014. Thanks for sharing all the information!

Head finally feels fine. At some point after sledding, after a quick lunch, and before his planned visit with a neighbor, he asked if we could go to Target so he could use some gift cards for a couple Legos sets he's had his eye on. Ugghhhh......so I rushed him to Target, he came home and put one together before his play date with the neighbor, then home to do more Legos before his dad picked him up. He didn't want to go with dad, so a major meltdown happened, which he claimed was triggered by needing a bag to put the Legos in (but he told me he just didn't want to go and hates going over there). Dad showed up mid meltdown and rushed him off, so we didn't get to say goodbye because he was so worked up. Fortunately, he won't remember any of that part in a couple days. Poor kid.

Glad your migraine finally went away.

So sorry for Tyler not wanting to go with his father.

My cousin's kid who goes back and forth from dad to mom.....hates going to his mother's house. His mom is remarried and has two little ones. Kyle hates going there. He said they are not his siblings. He would rather stay with my cousin. He just turned 18 in January, so he has to finish this school year and then he goes away to college. So he won't ever have to stay over at his mom's again. He can visit her and leave.

That's going to happen to Tyler one day too.

Holly- saw the monster truck pictures on Facebook. Tyler looked so excited!

We were slammed with snow. A plow came down our street late on Saturday, but did a terrible job and nothing was sanded. My minivan only has front wheel drive, so it got stuck twice trying to get it out of the driveway. So I'm staying at moms house tonight- she got about a foot less snow even though she's only 8 miles from my house. Kids have delayed opening tomorrow because we are supposed to get more freezing rain, and Sal's preschool is cancelled so he will be bummed out.

Mom and I are going to see a cancer specialist tomorrow because I'm hoping he will have more insight on how to remove the tumor in my pelvis. I've seen two surgeons already and both said the tumor needs to come out by the surgery is too complicated for them. So we are heading into NYC.

Hoping for some good cruise news tomorrow- otherwise its too stressful!

Hope your snow is melting and going away. It's no fun being stranded. I hope the kids are having fun outside in it and are making a snowman. haha.

I'm so so so sorry to hear about your tumor. Don't even mess with the local doctors, go right to Sloan Kettering in NYC where they have seen it all. They will know what to do. I'm keeping you in my prayers that you get rid of this tumor and will be healthy and well again. Sending positive thoughts and pixie dust too. HUG HUG HUG !!!

Did you like the new itineraries that DCL announced today. It sounds like they listened and opened up more days in Alaska, a southern carribbean AND a Venice and Greece cruise together. I would like to do them all plus a TA. hahaha.

 

[EllaEnchanted]

Thanks everyone! I had a hopeful appointment. This surgeon says he will remove the tumor but needs it to be a combined effort with the colon surgeon. So I will be back in NYC on Wednesday to see the head colon surgeon. The downside is that I may need a temporary colostomy bag, which is a scary thought, but I guess if that's te only way to get this done, I'll go with the flow. I'll see what input the colon guy has on Wednesday.

I'm
Suspicious that DCL delayed its announcement on 2014 itineraries because of the news of a Carnival ship being stranded at sea after an engine fire. It's the kind of thing that's bad press for the whole cruise industry even though all of those people will be just fine!

Ginamarie, I'm glad you found the right doctor. Sorry you need to see another one too. You do whatever it takes to get yourself back to good health!!! Whatever works. If you like the doctors and have confidence in them and like what the way they are presenting the information to you, then go with your gut and do what you must. We'll all be here for you whenever you need to vent. HUGS HUGS HUGS !!!

I will never ever ever ever book a cruise on Carnival. I said that before this incident and I'm saying it again. I'm not sure what their hiring practices are. I know DCL screens people thoroughly. I would rather put my life into the hands of a company that I trust has a higher caliber of crew members.

Hi Deb, we're all fine.

Haven't had all the extremes of weather you all seem to be suffering this winter, it's just a typical dull, grey wet January with occasional snow. Perfect weather for hibernating or reminiscing over old cruise pics.

Hope we do a cruise in 2014, but will not be 3/4 day. Still waiting to see what DCL comes up with.

Good Albert, it's good to hear that you're all fine.

I like hibernating and reminiscing over old cruise pics. That's what winter is for.

DCL announced new 2014 itineraries today.....anything look interesting to you and Ann?

I can't wait to hear stories and see pictures of Freckles. Then when I move, I can't wait to meet her. Since I won't have Ella with me, I'll become an Aunt to Freckles. She's probably a lot sweeter than Ella is anyway.

Congrats momma!!!
