45 people, Thats a big group! What is it a wedding or something?

[Pafuncouple]

Not really, we call it john and rons friends and family cruise. We did it with 75 people 2 years ago. Was awesome.

Someone is getting married prior to us leaving port, so we are boarding early.

[dave 3261]

So where are you guys from? Do you have any shore excursions planed?

Hey Dave,

So you from LI it looks, how old are you guys?

When we booked segways there was only 2 spots for the 345 trip and 10 for the 615 trip. They only have 10 segways for each trip.

I have a group of 8 going on the 615 and I guess the other 2 sold out also so they take them off the list when sold out.

We are toooooo.

Only 48 to go. Waiting for the documents to come.

Well you can find us in the group of 45, we will all have the same shirts on the first day. Or we can set up some place to say hello once it gets closer. I am on here every night at work. Do you guys have a facebook or my space??

I cant belieive 110 people have viewed this post and nobody replies.

[dave 3261]

No facebook or myspace. I was thinking the same thing, I'm surprised no one else responded.

[Pafuncouple]

Dave, what are your plans for excursions??

[dave 3261]

We have not booked any excursions yet but I was thinking of just a walking tour in PR. I want to try the BOSS underwater scooters in St Thomas, Horseback riding along the beach to a waterfall in DR and do the zipline and maybe some jetskiing in Labadee. I also want to take that cable car to the top of the hill in St Thomas.

[Pafuncouple]

That BOSS thing sounded good, but we went with the snuba.
Dragon Breath Line we are booked for the 10am slot.
Your wife going to do all these too?

[dave 3261]

Yes my wife will be doing whatever I do, she is not scared of anything. She went skydiving last August. I may or may not go with her next time, I'm undecided.

[Pafuncouple]

Awesome...I only did the indoor skydiving in Pigeon Forge TN.
Havent had the guts to jump out of a good plane yet.

[dave 3261]

Me Too!!!!!!
I'm not sure if I'd have the guts once i got up there. Almost did the indoor skydiving in Vegas but it was booked solid and was our last day.We are going back to LV in August maybe we will do it then.

[Pafuncouple]

We want to get back to Vegas too... Last time I was there I had an absessed tooth and was stoned on percocet and dont remember a thing.

[dave 3261]

Toothaches are the worst. Maria is going to the dentist tomorrow because she does not want any problems on the cruise.

[Pafuncouple]

Dawn is a nurse and she brings just about every imaginable med for any illness you can get. And when there is 45 people or 75 like last time, you just about need every one.

We went out of miami 2 yrs ago and the morning of our flight I hurt my neck with a compression injury. Had to fly biting on my mouthpiece from soccer to withstand the pain. Got to hotel, took steriods and the next moring boarded the ship and enjoyed the cruise like nothing ever happened.

[dave 3261]

That's Great!!!!! My wife is a nurse as well but is working right now as a photographer taking school portraits. She is a certified nurse in her own country(Hungary) and just passed her test as a nurse assistant here in the U.S.

[Pafuncouple]

Thats cool...

you in a balcony, suite, inside, outside room??

[dave 3261]

We have a Prominade view. I would love to have a balcony so we could get some fresh air, but just too expensive for us. Just glad to be aboard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Pafuncouple]

I heard those rooms are cool, get to look out over the crowd. You have your own window seat in there. I had to book 3 rooms, so we just got outside ones.
We had balconies on the last one and didn't really use it. We have so many other people in our group that we can visit thiers anytime.

[dave 3261]

We're in cabin 6277, you are welcome to visit us at any time

[Pafuncouple]

After partying all night it might be easier to crash there then roll down to the 3rd floor, lol. We have 3 quad rooms, kids are in the other rooms, I don't know which one is going to end up being ours.

But I think the casino is on the 4th floor, so that will be one good thing for us, only 1 floor to sulk back to the room.

[dave 3261]

So what room are you in????

[Pafuncouple]

3260, 62, 64 one of them

[dave 3261]

Hey Walt, It's Dave Again.
Just wondering if you will be bringing a laptop/if you know anything about wifi on the ship. And on a earlier message you mentioned something about waiting for some documents. Should I be receiving documents of some kind. I thought I just had to print out the boarding pass 3 days before.
