Christmas 2009

I guess that makes me the hampster running around on the little cirlce making the engines work!

The new pricing is going over much better. Now, getting everyone organized by Wednesday is the next challenge!

I'm terrible, I almost forgot it was sale week, thanks for extending it Nina.

Glad to hear it's working out better for your family Nick! Don't forget too that I will still be able to process emailed or faxed booking forms on the ship if you just can't seem to pin someone down by Wednesday. Although, I would greatly appreciate being able to have everything done before I leave and knowing that everyone was all set and there were no wayward communications!

Not a problem Patrick. Be aware though that I will not be able to extend it again during this quarter so better to book now

Hey ... you're the most important "cog in the wheel"

But don't worry, me and the other Vic will bring you enough rations and grog.

Is anyone beside me and Tina doing the Oasis and QM2 back to back?

Wow!


That should be interesting!
You have a good opportunity to make some comparisions. Which one is 1st? (Hope QM2 is last ... saving the best for last! )

Can't wait to hear all about it!

LOL Thought you were talking to me for a minute Nina! Ok so now we have two Vic's on here. I can be Vic the Cop and Vic can stick with Vic the Parrot!

Hey Vic ... that works out ok.

Or you can be "Vic 1", and I'll be "Vic 2".
Perhaps the other way around ...


We (and everybody) can have a lot of fun with this.

Ok ladies, get out your dancing shoes! Nina, I'm sending my booking form by fax tomorrow - 2 cabins

Patrick I want a dance!

Nina what type of triples do you have left at this point. Our sub-group keeps changing minute by minute. Also you better let us know what type of quads are left too.

Patrick, you might need one of those old fashioned dance cards to keep all the ladies organized!

Maria, I have 2 quads in Q5 and a couple in most D categories, Triples are still fairly open in all applicable categories. If you have specific categories or cabins you want let me know and I can give you a more precise cabin count.

I've been lurking in here and, still trying to make a decision. I'd like to join you but, flying to NYC to sail back down South... And the fact that I agreed to take the kids and grand-kids on the Royal Caribbean Christmas cruise from Bayonne in 2010...

Give me some good reasons to join you guys in 2009.

Hint: I'm an easy sell

Because we are loads of fun and have our own group comedians
You want to experience a change of seasons for at least a couple days and see the decorations with real snow. You want to wonderful food but not clean up after the feast. But most importantly because you know you really want to because you would it and us.


(did it work?)

I feel like Nick a few weeks ago, what went from a nice, normal cruise for my family has extended into a mini-group and it's tough getting everyone together on all aspect. Nina we ARE booking, even though we missed the sale. I promise to get it together soon, we don't want to get shut out on prime cabin selections.

I'm curious what type of on-board activities are being planned? Anything like a Christmas party?

A Christmas party is not a bad suggestion at all! We could meet some place either Christmas Eve or Christmas Day for cocktails and socializing.

Just 493 days to sailing date! I guess now is the time to get serious about booking and getting organized.

Ok Derek, you inspired me, I put up my mug shot

Hi everyone Marina invited me to join ages ago and, I just got around to signing up today. I'm Rita from NYC. I work in fashion. Divorced, no kids and traveling solo. I'm still debating about which sailings I'll be booking, more than likely I will book 4th of July. The holidays, I"m not sure about yet. I usually go skiing but, a Caribbean cruise might be a nice change.

Anyhow, nice to meet you all and forgive the cheesy cruise ship photo I am using, it's one of the few of myself I have loaded on to my computer!

too Hey these little icons are fun! I can see me writing my posts with them.

For example:

I see you have a sailing on QM2 in 2009. This is something to consider and, I'm going to see if Mom and Dad are up for the idea. The biggest challenge will be asking my boss for that much time off in a row. I might have to until I get an answer. I just hope his answer isn't when because he can be a real at times.

I'm not thrilled with the idea of leaving from NYC in December, it's going to be and, I catch easily but, I will do my best to keep healthy so I can enjoy this voyage with those of you who are going.

I will get out my best and I'll have to remember to pack my to capture the memories and preserve them especially if we run into any . And, if I go we'll have to catch up with each other at the 's party, that is always a lot of fun.

And if some of you ladies aren't too I'll be happy to with you in G32.

Anyhow, I will the folks tonight to see if they like the idea. And if they do, you'll see one happy fellow

Yes, I know I'm a geek but, I couldn't help myself! These icons are so cute and are so much fun to play with, I just couldn't resist

So until my next post I bid you a fond farewell

Nigel,

You fit in beautifully!!

Very cute!

Hi everyone,

Sorry it's been so long since I signed in and posted. Hello and to our newest members. I'm Marianne.

Anyhow guys, I have some news We're still discussing this idea but, this might be turning into a wedding cruise for us! We're trying to see how many people are willing to go. If we can't get the majority of immediate family on-board with the idea, pardon the pun, we'll be passing on this sailing and having a wedding in the city. However, if we do have the cruise wedding, we will wed in St. Thomas and, since we know so many of you already, we'd be very happy if you join us for the ceremony and small reception on-board. I'll keep everyone updated and, Nina, I will let you know as soon as possible.

I'll check in again soon!

Marianne! That's wonderful news!

Wow, I go away for a week and we have new members (a BIG WELCOME!) a wedding announcement Marianne!!!! And new mug shots. (Very nice )

Hmmm, Nina maybe you need to go away more often. LOL
