Well hopefully we will get to taste this in June, as we have a GS

You will have to let us know what "perks" you really did receive with this new program.

I think most if not all of this was already in place on the AOS last week. I was in the concierge lounge the day before disembarkation and the concierge was fixing one of the suite passenger's bills where they had been charged for the luggage valet service. She told them there was a mistake and they were supposed to get it for free. Another day someone was asking about the suite reserved seating in the show lounge. I didn't see any tape or anything on the front rows, but I never went down to the front to actually see. I did not notice any reserved seating at the pool deck as previously reported on some ships...

We had a JS and had Silver sea pass cards, so I can only assume that there were Gold cards for the full suites.

Jean - Great (unbiased) review. Thanks for posting. Glad you had a good time.

Great contest...GOOD LUCK TO ALL WHO HAVE THE TIME AND "STRETCHIES" TO DO IT. Tina is so generous.

Patti - Agree....babies are much more important!!!!

Evening all...........

NO Patti............not me having another baby..........I meant if I should ever be so luck to be a grandma..........not counting on that any time soon..........

Susan----we did have gold cards for our last suites.......but not all those perks that I half heartedly read..........I really dont bother much with the "dark side" anymore except to post on a couple of specific threads with friends..........seems I used to be on the puter a whole lot more......now Im not so I just post where it means the most...

I couldnt do a 3 month cruise either........just like the MA 46 nighter........I wouldnt leave my dogs that long...husband,yes..dogs.no

speaking of husbands,I wound up driving Dennis to Orlando this afternoon........hes catching a 5am flight to Chattanooga to go look at trucks.....I figured it would be easier for him to take the hotel shuttle to the airport than for me to drive him to Orlando at 2 in the morning........so hope fully,he'll like a truck,buy it and be back to work..........

well, time for season finale of Housewives OC......

Nite..

evening all.

interesting thread about the new suite perks. we are in a GS March 8th on voyager, so we shall see!!!

off to bed--alarm goes off at 4:45 tomorrow

Evening All, I really enjoyed all the V Day stories. Too funny As far as the World Cruise goes, you're right, they'd have to roll me off the ship. As much as it sounds wonderful, I don't think I could be away for that long although I'll be gone 6 weeks to OZ and NZ.

I read the Suite Guest Thread and it's really interesting. I have mixed feelings about so much attention being placed on me all over the ship but the stuff in the Suite would be nice. We had a Jnr suite on Indie and we had silver cards. Bridge Tour and Security came along to check our Sea Pass cards and wand us. There was a really snobby flashily dressed lady with us and when our friends showed their gold cards she piped up "Oh my dear I think you brought the wrong card with you" Sandy simply said that it was a suite card at which point she loudly said to her husband,"Oh look what their doing with the cards isn't that cute" She stayed pretty quiet during the tour. BTW we were all upgraded so we were having fun with the suite experience.

Hi Ladies,

Had to go back and read about 6 pages to catch up, even though I posted I still didn't remember most of what was posted.

Kathy I laugh and shake my head and watch The Real Housewife's. It is a kick and most of the time I think they need someone to slap the up side of the head.

Morning all,

Headed out early to get g-kids to school, dd has an early mtg. at work and sil has someone driving him to treatment early. It is 32 with snow forecast later today

back later--Happy Wednesday!!

Morning all.......

Kathy........hope D finds a truck he likes......my dd's inlaws (he's a trucker for roadway/yellow), he just got transferred out of town or had to be laid off. They are now moving to Ft Smith Ark.........the gk's cried themselves to sleep and the mil is praying she doesn't have to sell her family home..........

Have I mentioned yet that I HATE this economy??!!

Have a Gr8 hump day y'all

j

Morning.........

Yea,I agree Jul....the economy does suck(sorry to hear about your DD inlaws).............Dennis just called.......landed in Chattanooga........flew in from Charlotte on a real LITTLE plane in a heavy downpour...........I would had been very nervous........anyway,hes on his way to go check out the trucks.............

Ginny-did you watch Housewives last night?? Sad ending..........but I agree.normally,most of them need a reality check........

Guess Ill be hanging around most of the day in case,I need to do any calls for D............

so Ill be back..........

Happy Hump Day all..........

Is Tammy still on the Housewifes of OC, I have cruised with her mom & FIL. Mom is a hoot....they were on the episode where Tammy had a birthday in Vegas.

Just another reason not to get off of the ship.

d

Yikes! A roller coaster?? I haven't even been to the caribbean yet, is there no hope of a quiet peaceful tropical setting?

Wow.........Jen, you've Never been to the Carib???..

Just got alerted by Allegiant Air that they are going to be flying direct from Lax to Springfield, MO...YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Now I can do some weekend trips easily!! soooo pumped!

j

Jul--good news about Allegiant air. We have used several times from St. Pete to IA. Got a rate of 69 for Ken tomorrow and I plan to take the g-kids to FL for Spring break, 39 each

Exactly!!!!!!! Ray and I have been avoiding itineraries that include Labadee or CocoCay, but when we do take them, we don't get off the ship! Some of the staff think we are nuts, but I love the pool with no one else around!

Nope, never! I hate to admit this, but I've never even been to Florida!

I have been to Mexico 8 times and Alaska once. I've also been to Hawaii, Canada and Europe on land tours etc... But the only east coast states I've seen are from Maryland north to New York. And I was always kind of afraid of hurricanes in the caribbean, after our one tropical storm in Mexico. But I guess I am getting more adventerous!

That's great about the air Jul, maybe I will have to start looking for another scrapbooking cruise!

Good Afternoon: I agree about Labadee, if there is a roller coaster what next!
Going for nail and ped appt this afternoon, was supposed to get hair cut, but my hairdresser is sick so that will have to wait til later this week or Mon...

Jen: You must look into a Caribbean vacation, be it land or cruise...Will check in L8R...

Every cruise we've ever booked that had a stop at CocoCay didn't stop at CocoCay. So I'd just like to stop there once. When we stop at Labadee John does get off to take a picture of the ship from shore. Last time we were there we did walk around a bought something for Jill and Dave and then back to the ship to eat. I just don't enjoy being hounded by the locals.

d

I did watch Housewifes last night and looking forward to next weeks followup show. It will be a roflmao Those ladies are nuts!

I am so getting a kick out of the New York group as well. I live a very sheltered life.

Sun is out and the weekend is suppose to warm up. Need to go to the grocery store or we will be eating the lawn.

Catch you'll later.

We have to get you to some Eastern Carib ports - or at least the Bahamas.

It's very cold and rainy today and I'm sooooo cold. I have the fireplace going to try to get cozy. Just an hour to the west my DD says it's snowing like crazy. I've been to Labadee. Can't imagine a roller coaster. I enjoyed sitting on the beach and eating the BBQ lunch. I did think the locals were very pushy in the market area.
