The Week of DisBoard Posts in Review
(February 12-22) pages 1-65
As short a summary as possible. I'm a newbie on the WBTA also, a few things might not make sense to me- if I think it needs explanation- I'll ask for more clarification so all can join in the fun. Beware, I have dry wit and a bizarre sense of humor, things strike me as funny for the oddest reasons, even so, please know I would never intentionally make fun of anyone.

Stress that everyone needs to follow the directions on each event for how to sign up for it. For some it is pm, for others it is by email. Thank you.

More chit chat on who is coming and an interesting comment or two:
Claire (Pinky 166) started the thread as a guarantee she would get to go- best plan ever!!
Concern about if Margaret(Magic123) should be starting getting her dresses ready yet or not.- Hmm, I sense a back story on this one.
Page 3
Margaret (Magic123) said:
don't know if I'll have room for 22 dresses this time if we have to fly back, will just have to get myself one of those new wearable luggage dresses, what a sight that will be
Margaret and Norman (Grumpy123) bantered back and forth about getting the last word. Margaret won.
I learned Norman was cheeky. Norman was encouraged to behave.
Norman implied that
someone threatened to keelhaul him if he replied
(so that is why Margaret won) then insisted he
was an Englishman so would behave
himself.
A lot of emoticons representing dancing, cheering and overall enthusiasm that the WBTA was announced.
Pat (PFlamingo) is already planning her wardrobe:
As for the clothes, don't even think about suggesting a dress or two and accessorizing. Margaret was my inspiration in 2011. I refuse to give up the clothes. I *will* find a way to take the purple ballgown for formal night, not to mention all the cute, sparkly things I can find between now and then.
Pages 4-8
Anyone thinking of catching a cruise from San Juan back to Florida was reminded that San Juan is a US territory so you cant go one way to Florida on a cruise.
And then the booking opened up at 8 am for platinum and it got quiet for about 15 minutes when the reports began rolling in of bookings and prices
Michelle (Squitty) gets the prize for first to report back that they were officially onboard the ship!!!
New vocabulary word I heard:
Dosh- money, cash? correct in main thread if that is a wrong guess
There is no Morrisons in Tenerife. Ed will not be able to use his cart coin
- I sense another back story on this one
More excitement as everyone realizes the pricing for this cruise is what they were hoping for after waiting forever.
Sideways were being snagged quickly, Holly joked she was even willing to sleep in the engine room closet.
Birthdays
Sarah (TotallyAngelic) is a birthday girl on the cruise as well as her mum if she comes.
Janice (Yukongirl123)- Trevors birthday is Sept 6
People mentioned joining the FB group and that they could not keep up with all the posts. The link is on page 1.
Page 9-10
Silvers can now book!!!!
Online booking opened early =-I was just getting up (5-6am)- will remember next time to check early anyway.
Holly (ThePhantomsGirl) got a room so she will not be sleeping in the engine room closet!!!!
Found out Annie (JustAnnienotHazel) was also known as Miss Stingy pants, all because she wouldnt book concierge. That makes a lot of us that share that nickname with her.
About as soon as people booked, the discussion began on other details. It should be noted the thread started on 2-12-13 and at this point it is only 2-14-13, 10 pages and 150 posts already!!
Page 11-13
New vocabulary word I heard:
Cheeky- sassy in a humorous way, not the kid in trouble way
Discussions on transportation and a theme for this cruise
Kevin (NWDad) started making trouble- hes trying to unite the guys in the World Wide Man Club
Ed was the one with the Malteasers obsession. Well, him and the ape in the gift shop.
Do share this back story in the main threads, this sounds hilarious along with the photo of the monkeys looking for Ed
Cabin rearranging began as many decided to switch rooms.
Everyone make sure to update your info to Claire (Pinky 166) so that everything on page 1 gets updated.

Rollcalls and greetings
Suggestion for the Weekly updates from last cruise being needed.
Thank you for the reminder for something I've been meaning to do - may I take the time to thank Claire for all her hard work! 
Even if you don't know how to do it someone will be able to help. 
names are being witheld.
