I'm getting more excited as the days go by

[Watermanfunari]

Hi Heather, Are you part of Gails group? How old are you?

My daughter and her boyfriend are going to come with us too now, her name is Heather also she will be 22 at the time of sailing and Brad will be 26. The are getting a balcony, they are very excited, they always stayed in our cabin but now they have upgraded which is fine with me, lol

It is going to snow again tomorrow so I will be stuck on side again.

Stay warm everyone, I wish my Feb cruise was sooner.

Talk later,

Sue

[Comet Cruiser]

Hi Sue,

Yes Heather is part of our "group", she is the daughter of my hubby's cousin.
There will be 2 teenage girls, my son and his g/f who are 24 but will be 25 when we cruise.

We have had sooooo much snow, sure wish we were going in Feb AND in October! Oh well, at least we're GOING and that's all that matters!

We talk about the cruise all the time and can't wait to be onboard again. We were on the Explorer last year and just loved the crew, they are amazing

Take care Sue and stay warm, hopefully we won't get much more snow!

Gail, I sent you an Email, let me know that you got it.

My Daughter will be 22 and her BF will be 26 so that is good to know they will have some in thier own age group not just us older folks to hang with, lol They love to dance and sing at Kareoke.

How old is the rest of the people in your group?

Are all of them from Canada?

Well Talk later,

Sue

[Watermanfunari]

Have you noticed the itinerary change for this cruise?

Sue

[Heather22]

Hey all!
Sorry I havnt been on in soo long but i'm happy there won't just be older people on the cruise like my parents age! Me and my sister are 17 and 15, and sooo excited to cruise again. Yepp we're in Gail's clan Hope we see you on board!

[Watermanfunari]

Hi, I am so glad they changed back the original itinerary. Was a little unhappy when they switched it a couple weeks ago.


Hope everyone is doing well.

Talk later,

Sue

[Heather22]

Yea i was also happy when i saw that it changed back, i did NOT want to be in pourto rico at night time that place scares me!

[wezie]

I am also happy that the itinarary changed back because I wouldn't mind going through the old cemetary there and checking it out.. The last time I walked through there was in 1982.

REMEMBER GAIL WE NEED TO FIND SOME SAND....FOR OUR JARS... AGAIN... (not bought this time...) lol...

There ANOTHER MISSION.... TO ACCOMPLISH.... BESIDES.. that fancy watering hole on t he SHIP.

Cruise is getting closer! i'm getting excited!

[Watermanfunari]

Hi everyone, Are you sure you all do not want to come on over to the other boards where we have lots of people talking?

I have made T-Shirts for the cruise also, 2 different styles that people from this cruise are buying.

We are all planning on meeting on board for sailaway up on deck and we are wearing Mardi-Gras beads so we can spot eachother if some do not have the T-Shirts or buttons I made.
If you go over to the other boards and sign up RCCL give us a free 1 hour party on the first sea day so we can all meet and talk for a while, I also made cabin door signs for everyone.

Here is the link for the T-Shirts

The first shirt we had named ourselves the "Bushwakers" since we will be in St Thomas some of us will be going up the sky ride and getting the famous bushwacker drink yummy.

If any of you would like to Email me again, I will give you the link to sign up on the other boards and start talking with us all. I do not think I can post the link on this site.
