at least my mom got to enjoy her cruise rather than constantly trying to find me. ya know? but i really hope they loosen up on my curfew. i remember last year, theyd make me come back by 11 when all of my friends got to hang out till like 2 am or whatever
the only night that was an exception was the very last night where i had to be back at 6:30am and i remember entering my cabin exactly at 6:30 on the dot

Strict much?
My parents haven't handed me a curfew that early since I was 14? I think, but then again, my parents had also let me explore the islands on my own since I was 16...
Pizza at 3 am is amazing btw, try for it if you can!

Yea, the walkie talkies are not too bad. and yea hopefully your parents won't be as strict this time. Cause I usually stayed out til 2 a.m.
And yes!!! Pizza really late is amazing!! We will have to do that!!!
What do you think is the most fun thing to do on the ship Dariana?
Club O2? Sports deck? Dancing? Eating?(my favorite).

honestly, everything that me and my cruise friends did was so fun!
our ship was kick ass.
it had rockclimbing (beast at it :P)
iceskating
really fun activities
water balloon fights
mini golf
dancing
eating @ the amazing buffets
going in the jacuzzi late at night

it was all soooo fun!
plus the fact that the cruise was in europe made it 10 times better

i know this cruise doesnt have most of that stuff. but it has a slide and a huge tv by the pool. so that should be fun
i didnt go to any of the shows, which i heard were amazing, so id love to go to a few this time...

hahah true true

HotSauce44 · #36 (**permalink**) November 9th, 2009, 10:02 PM

Yea, I like to do a little of everything. And the shows are really cool!! You don't want to miss all of the shows. Atleast go to a couple.
And I really want to go in the pools/ hot tubs this time! I did not go at all last time! I definetely missed out last year.

xDaisy18 · #37 (**permalink**) November 9th, 2009, 10:07 PM

haha okay. deff going to the shows then
and what?! why didnt you go in the pool or hot tub?

HotSauce44 · #38 (**permalink**) November 9th, 2009, 10:16 PM

No, I never did! I always wanted to but did not get a chance. I did not even go on the slide! I am not gonna let that happen this time. And yea I'm excited to see that big screen over the pool too! And play basketball and volleyball and dodgeball. We have to try everything out, we have 8 days to do all we can on Freedom.

xDaisy18 · #39 (**permalink**) November 9th, 2009, 10:20 PM

haha fa sho.
how long was your other cruise?
mine was 5 nights

HotSauce44 · #40 (**permalink**) November 9th, 2009, 10:28 PM

My first and only cruise was last thanksgiving. It was 7 nights. And it felt like a pretty long time, which was great. It's nice gettin use to being on the ship after a few days.

xDaisy18 · #41 (**permalink**) November 9th, 2009, 10:31 PM

yeah
my 5 night cruise was wayyyyy too short. especially for all of the months of PCD it brought

but i think an 8 nighter will be perfecto

HotSauce44 · #42 (**permalink**) November 9th, 2009, 10:36 PM

8 nights is going go be great! I just got to have the energy to party for 8 nights straight. Haha. But it's a cruise and it's nice to relax a little too. And at night, have fun and party.

xDaisy18 · #43 (**permalink**) November 9th, 2009, 10:45 PM

yep yep!
so, i was in my ap us history class today "taking notes"
actually, instead of taking notes on the civil war, i was writing down all of the things ima need for the cruise (yes, thats what i do in my advanced placement classes :P)
and i was shocked as hell....
i mustve written down at least 200 things. i think i just got a little too excited and started jotting down things that i sure as hell wont need. hahah
ima need to pack more realistically. i know my cabin space is limited since we got one of those tiny windowless cabins :/

HotSauce44 · #44 (**permalink**) November 9th, 2009, 10:59 PM

We got 2 oceanview cabins for my family. Haha, and really! I actually made a list of stuff to bring on the cruise. And just made it into a checklist. I know, it's pretty nerdy. Haha. But I do not want to forget anything. Cause last time I forgot a couple small things and I regretted it. I have already started gettin my stuff together.
Talking to you gets me even more pumped to go! Haha, I just want to get my stuff ready and pack for the cruise. Haha.

uh, DITTO! we still have 11 days

so are you flying to ft lauderdale? or driving?

HotSauce44 · #46 (**permalink**) November 9th, 2009, 11:09 PM

The 11 days will go by fast. And we are driving to Ft. Lauderdale. It's a tough drive from ATL down there. It's around 11 hours. But very well worth it. Do you live near ft lauderdale?

xDaisy18 · #47 (**permalink**) November 9th, 2009, 11:10 PM

ouch. 45 min for me !

it's okay, be jealous :P

HotSauce44 · #48 (**permalink**) November 9th, 2009, 11:22 PM

45 minutes!! That's just.... That's nothing! Lucky!! And yea, I am jealous! Haha

mmerali · #49 (**permalink**) November 9th, 2009, 11:28 PM

Atlanta to FLL is nothing. Try Philly to Lauderdale. Thats always a killer. Anywho, we have a house in Boca Raton now too, still doesn't improve the drive, but makes it easier staying over in Florida.

And to the apush class, AP stands for advanced procrastination

xDaisy18 · #50 (**permalink**) November 9th, 2009, 11:28 PM

i know!
and one would think that since i live so close to the two major florida ports, that id be going on cruises all the damn time. but nahh :/

lmao youre so right. it really does. my past 3 AP history classes have made me a professional procrastinator

HotSauce44 · #52 (**permalink**) November 9th, 2009, 11:41 PM

Yea taking AP Psychology did not help my study habits at all. Just made me better at cramming.
Dang, I am all worked up for this cruise. I am gonna have trouble sleeping now. Haha. Well I'm done for tonight. Talk to you soon! Night. And I hope school goes by fast for you.

xDaisy18 · #53 (**permalink**) November 9th, 2009, 11:44 PM

lol same to you!
g'night. ttyl

xDaisy18 · #54 (**permalink**) November 10th, 2009, 06:18 PM

hey bobby, i was just wondering..
who are you going on your cruise with?
parents im assuming... siblings? cousins? friends?

HotSauce44 · #55 (**permalink**) November 10th, 2009, 06:39 PM

Hey, and I am going with my parents, my 13 yr old brother, and my 20 month old sister. Luckily me and brother have our own cabin.
And we also have some family friends from Kentucky coming with us. They have two kids like 11 and 13. I'm not really close with them at all.
But that's it for me. Who is going with you?

xDaisy18 · #56 (**permalink**) November 10th, 2009, 06:45 PM

hah wow! lucky! congrats on getting a seperate cabin from your parents. hahah

well i thought it was just gonna be me and my parents
but now my great aunt and uncle. i doubt ill see any of them though, besides of course during some of the dinners and the days we're on land.
this is gonna be so weird for me, having 4 days at sea. my other cruise only had one (best day everrrr !)

HotSauce44 · #57 (**permalink**) November 10th, 2009, 06:58 PM

Yea same here, I won't be seeing any of the people I'm with much. Just port days and dinner.
And the sea days are gonna be a lot of fun! And 4 of them! As fun and unique as the ports are, the sea days are gonna be the best part. Just hangin around with everyone else there and the activities.
And one great thing about this cruise is the weather. It won't be too hot during the day and it's a refreshing cool temperature at night.
And Dariana, definetely bring a couple warmer clothes. Like long pants and sweaters. At night, it's not cold but a few nights, I wouldve liked a long sleeve shirt. I learned the hard way last year. Haha.

xDaisy18 · #58 (**permalink**) November 10th, 2009, 07:01 PM

wow, thanks for the head's up cause i was definitely just gonna pack short sleeved shirts and tank tops and capris. haha

yo, i literally have a suitcase sitting in my room waiting to be packed. im so tempted. hahah

mmerali · #59 (**permalink**) November 10th, 2009, 07:04 PM

Just FYI, you do know you are going to be going into the southern caribbean, right? You'd be crazy to dress warm unless you find that the air conditioning is too cold for you...

The weather on this cruise gets HOT. Plain and simple. Be prepared with sunscreen, and leave your warm stuff home unless its club wear. The coolest you'll probably get is gonna be Cozumel, and that'll be only cool in the ocean water temp.

xDaisy18 · #60 (**permalink**) November 10th, 2009, 07:07 PM

now im confused!
ill bring one long sleeved shirt/jacket type thing just incase.
and im bringing long jeans regardless :P
