Wonder - January 21, 2011 The Cruise To Nowhere In Particular..

[captaincrash]

Below are my replies to the 7 questions posed from last weekend....​

OK... Friends and Neighbors...
It's time for another edition of the ...

7 Question Game!

​

1). What are your FAVORITE Disney Characters / or Disney Movies?

My Reply -I've always had a thing for Jessica Rabbit! As such - her Disney pins are the only ones I collect! My current prize being a nice set of silver pins in a heart shaped black velvet box!

2.) What is your FAVORITE Disney Cruise dish?

My Reply - illustrated below:

3.) If you could choose WHERE a Disney Ship sailed for 14 Nights - AND get a free Concierge level suite with a nice selection of shore excursions + ship board service prepaid! In other words - control a nice all inclusive Disney Cruise ... WHERE in the world would you send it? Please feel free to add what ever level of detail your heart desires!

My Reply -If I could - I would want to sail through as many far eastern ports around Asia! That would include Shanghai, Hong Kong, Anything in Thailand, Viet Nam and South Korea, and Japan to name a few which seem to pop into mind! Of course, the land excursions have to reach out to Tokyo Disney when-ever anywhere near - and I want an aerial tour (fixed wing or helicopter) in each port! I love sight-seeing flights in choppers!!!

4.) What is your FAVORITE COLOR?
My Reply - A nice rich imperialistic BLUE! If I could have all my cars in a dark metallic blue - I would be happy!

5.) What are your FAVORITE magazines or print publications?
My Reply -I enjoy all photography mags, sci-fi types, and the usual "guy type" things like the car mags, popular science and popular mechanics! I also skim several news types - however, I lean away from any which are essentially biased like newsweek or time, and I prefer those with either an international flavor / perspective or those which are a bit more fair and balanced in nature.

6.) Do you have any particular EXPERIENCE from a CRUISE which was an especially memorable, favorite or special memory? What comes to mind?
My Reply -My very FIRST real cruise - in the evening one night there were lightning storms in the middle distance and the flashes of lightening jolting about lit up the sea and sky! I sat up on deck watching in amazement for a long long time!!!!

7.) Do you have any PETS? If not - then what would you LIKE to have if you could have ANY pet?
My Reply ->

So ... Thanks for entertaining our little exercise of whimsy here!​

Good point...if I hear anything onboard about plans - I will post it on the thread the day before. My Mom and sis are meeting us at the port so I hope it's painless!

That would be much appreciated. Thanks!

 

[dsnydaddy]

I hope to pack rediculously light for this cruise too!

Somehow I fear my spouse will not let me off so easy in being lightly packed!​

Therein lies the rub.

We're gonna be somewhat early too - enough to beat traffic but not super early before noon!

I think I will get to the port about 6ish that morning.... want to get a good parking spot!

You know - it's talk like that which will make ME drive down to the port at 5:45AM just so "I" can have the best parking spot for the cruise!!!!

Rub? ...
what kind of RUBBING are we talkin' 'bout here?

WE talkin' CATs or LEMURs?

...or FROGs?

Adios, all! We are heading to the Mariner of the Seas for our 7n Mexican Riviera cruise! Wish us good weather and lots of yummy food (and no engine fires or SPAM).

Till we get back...

[captaincrash]

Good point, I didn't think about it that way with us being their guinea pigs

DCL is experimenting with us again, eh?

Bon voyage Katherine to you and your family!

We look forward to your return where I'm sure you will have pleasant stories and wonderful photos to share!

I'll be right behind you.

What I have been told is that those of us who are remaining from the PC cruise will be escorted off as a group and rechecked back in. We will then be escorted back on to the ship where we will be able to hang around.

I am torn..it sounds kind of fun but then again, I would have liked to be able to meet up with my Mom and Sis in the terminal.

Completely different terminals I know, but in Barcelona, those doing the B2B were able to stay off the ship after they were checked in. Several of them came out to greet those of us boarding that day. We hadn't even been let into the terminal yet. The B2Bers could come and go in and out of terminal and on and off the ship, even before they started checking in the new folks.

I was wondering if you'd be staying on. Any chance of the princess joining you?

Crash..I will already be on the ship..we are bringing her over.

The princess is joining her for the 2 night.

Let me know how you like it. We just did the 1-nighter on the NCL Star and are totally addicted to cruising now. My boyfriend loved it so much, he wanted to book another one for Thanksgiving before we even got back to port. Anyway, we've had our eye on this RCL cruise and would love to hear how you liked it.

We were booked on that 1 nighter but when we booked the Mariner, we decided not to do a short cruise followed by a long one with a day inbetween (logistically challenging). SO we are boarding Mariner tomorrow.

I am happy to let you know how it goes BUT Mariner is leaving CA on Jan 9th so there is not much opportunity to sail her from LA. SHe's going to Galveston for next year and on...

Sapphire Princess is also a wonderful ship, by the way, and she does the Mexico run as well (as will Disney when she gets into town in Jan!). See you all next week when we get back...

After that 1-nighter, I'm really wishing our Cruise to Neverland was longer. Checked on the Mariner. As much as we want to do it, can't afford the $2000+ so a RCI cruise will have to stay on our wishlist for now.

Hawaiian Mickey....I just came here to post the same thing!!!!


Had DD clean her room and last month I put up a countdown sheet in her room. Today, I noticed it was 60 days!

With all the holidays coming up, it will go by so quickly!

Does anyone have a 12 year old daughter cruising ... wanting to make a friend?

My daughter just asked me to post this.
