Who's going 8/2/03 Western cruise?

[rae519]

I will be posting the list of DIS Cruisers for our 8/2/03 cruise this weekend.

Please review the information you posted initially and if you have any changes - adding your name/city/dining time or deleting same. PLEASE do so before I put the information down on the list.
Same with any interest to brunch and high tea together - so tables can be set up when we make Palo reservations.

We will have an informal, quick meeting at the Promenade Lounge after the Muster Drill. This is before the Sail Away Party and is just so we can put faces to names, etc. It's advisable to have some type of name tag on - giving both your DIS name and given name - (like my DIS name is rae519 and my given name is Rae).

If anyone wants to dine with another family, please notify DCL and have them link your reservations. You will need the other person's name and reservation number to do this.

Again, any additions or deletions -

Happy Trails!

Rae

Hey Rae,


So far we have my 3 DDs (18, 16, & 13); my DH (46);my DB and Dsil and my DNs (7, 4); my DM (65) & my DD (66).

I have had a suspicious mammogram so ................pray for me!!!

 

[rae519]

GEt a second one done and a second opinion. I've had two small cysts removed before (benign) before having the breast reduction done (7 lbs total). It's best to take care of this IMMEDIATELY to (1) get the true picture of things and (2) alleviate the stress of worrying about it.

You know you got all our prayers, dear friend!

jlawall - you will be in our prayers

Rae - We are two families of four (two boys 13 & 9) and (girl-14 and boy-9). We have late seating. So far we are looking to do Palo on Sunday night. We are also doing champagne brunch and High Tea -- not sure which days. Would love to meet everyone else. These boards have been SO helpful. Final payment will be made this week!

P.S. -- Forgot to add -- we are all from Eastern Long Island --

GO YANKEES!

Thank you for the update. I was in the process of posting the information.

Always glad to have fellow New Yorkers on the cruise! Get's me back to my roots (and not the gray ones!!!)

Please add to our list my parents Joe and Betty and my sister-in law, Mary Beth. Thanks for putting the list together. Beth A

 

[rae519]

I'll be updating every 2 weeks - so just keep me posted.

BethA - have already noted the change for you. Thanks!


69 days to go.....

Rae

 

[jlawall]

Hey all, I finally spoke to my doctor and he isn't too concerned. I will do a retest but no worries!!! Thx for all your kind words.....now let's get back to planning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[rae519]

Glad you had that talk with him. Now just relax and enjoy the next 68 days.

If anyone is doing an excursion and wants that on the list, let me know. We are doing 3 through shoretrips.com (Grand Cayman -horseback riding and Stingray City; and Cozumel - Dolphin Swim). Just going to hang out at Key West - our doctor's brother lives there so we plan to visit.


Also main and late dining - IF you would like to be seated with someone else from the list, one of you has to call DCL and inform them of this asap AND have their name and reservation number available.

Only concierge can make Palo dinner, brunch and high tea reservations now. So if you'd like this, please remember to get to Rockin' Bar D as soon as you get on the ship. We got on around 1PM last time and missed high tea reservations. There is a wait list but it's a last minute thing.

Hopefully it will all be long forgotten by the cruise. Good luck.
Does anyone have a DS that will be in the 5-7 group? My son Brandon is 7 and I'm hoping he'll make some friends on the cruise.

 

[jlawall]

Hey Beth,

My DN7 (nephew) is supposed to be on this trip. His grandmom just came down with an illness so I'm hoping he'll still go. I'll keep you posted.

Family of four here more excited than ever... We have two teens who will be with us.... DD 17 and DS 19, both on past cruises have talked with other teens before the cruise, and have become great friends, so if any teens around those ages would like to chat before leaving, just let me know Can't wait to meet everyone!!!

"C-ya real soon"

 

[rae519]

Welcome Blu eyez235 - I will definitely put you down on the list!

jlawall - hope your DN's grandmother recovers and things settle down for you. Prayers out to her!

[jlawall]

Hey Rae....thx for posting the list. My name is JoAnn (not Joanna!) I just sat with my DM today and we reviewed the excursions. I'm thinking about the dolphin swim, what time are you going? We are trying to decide about the others.

 

[rae519]

If I told you how badly my keyboard is messing up spacings and additional letters, I wouldn't be lying! Sorry about the name thing - I knew it was that way - call it a brain delay!!! I'll fix you right up!

Dolphin Swim is early afternoon. Sounds pretty nice. Any horseback riders in your group? So far only Michael and I are saddling up!

Hi, my family and I are going.

My husband and I, my two girls (14 & (11), my brother and this time we are taking my mum (can't say on pain of death ) and dad (65) as well.

My dad would like to go Deep Sea Fishing if he can out in Cozumel or Grand Cayman, is there anybody here already going on a trip that he could perhaps team up with ?

We are from Cheshire, England, this is our third cruise (although we are taking mum and dad for their first time.)

Hope to see some of you there

[jlawall]

Hey no problem Rae!! Great idea having your son interview CMs. That will be quite an educational experience for him. I have to sit my group down and decide what they want to do. Only my youngest DD wants to definitely do the dolphins. It's time to set things up.

JoAnn

 

[rae519]

Welcome KerryM - so glad to have you on this cruise with us! I will add you to our list within the next two weeks! Please join us at our "meet and greet" right after the Mustering at the Promenade Lounge!

Definitely time to get your excursions planned and scheduled - I just hope Mother Nature understands that we really do want to go Western this time and doesn't arrange a Mystery Cruise!
