I want to know how I can get into the conceirge lounge to met Julian after all the great things I've heard read and seen. There are no suites left on our cruise to upgrade to and I won't be a "diamond with C&A" until January. I'd love to do the Bridge tour also. We leave in four days on Thursday. We have 10-12 cabins meeting for drinks at our Meet and Mingle from our 10/18 roll call---any suggestions???? I thought I'd just pop up there and say I knew you guys and maybe he'd let us in anyway????

January will come soon enough...and you will love the experience of JULIAN!

Until then, the best I think you will be able to do is stand outside the CL and listen! Good things are worth waiting for...but if you need a taste before Janauary...

Enjoy your October cruise...you will LOVE your January cruise!:D

Hey mommabean ... your pictures were great!

 

About the lighthouse ... can we walk there and not do the tour? I think we'd like to go there and see the southern most point too. then hit the duval bars. think we would have time to do it all?

You have time to do that and more...You CAN be off the ship at 7:30 AM (if you wish), and do not have to be back until 1:15PM. Good way to end your day in Key West is at the Blonde Giraffe for a Key Lime pie on a stick covered in cholcolate...with a beer chaser if you are so inclined...:D

Have a great time and say hi to Julian if you have CL privileges!

Mommabean tell me about the light houe in Key West. Did you walk there on your own? I didn't realize they have a light house. I want to go there. How much was it to go up in it? Will be on Enchantment in Jan. Can't wait!

Here is a good website with info about the lighthouse. It is about a 10 to 15 minute walk from the dock at Mallory Square! The whole tour takes about 30 to 45 minutes. The Hemingway House is right across the street and Southernmost Point is about 5 blocks away!

Oh my!! Did I look that bad. ;) It was great meeting and saying hi to you guys and maybe next time we can spend a bit of time together. I always seem to get myself tied up into something or other.

 

Hey folks, you really do meet cc folks on your cruise. Got to meet Gina and the DH and Bill W. I recognized Gina from her picture here but she and her DH look much better in person.

Mike...

It was nice to say hi to you in the casino, I hope you won big! CC sure makes the world seem small. We met fellow CC's everywhere!:)

BILL

We just returned from Enchantment today and I'd like to report that Henry is alive and well. He is not sucking up dirt in the cabins but he continues to be used as a crack and crevice cleaner in the hallways and the areas around the stairs and elevators. I do have a picture of him with his keeper and also of me with him.

 

The ship is still a great short escape with a fun crew.

 

Gina

WE LOVE HENRY....

BILL

Gina - Are you kidding me?? They really did that to kids who took family vacations?? WOW!!! :eek: Shoot....they would HATE me! LOL I take my daughter out once in the fall usually every year, and sometimes once again in the spring. She makes up the work no problem, and gets all A's and B's. I can't believe schools really do that to families that want to vacation together!!!!

I think our son got an "A"...ONCE! It turned out to be a mistake. Of course he takes after me, or so my DW says! :confused:

This is a photo of his "A"...what a smart kid!:rolleyes:

BILL

Beth...

Rosie and I are very "bad" parents, we always took our children out of school to go on vacation. We found there are many "bad" parents, because the kids always founds other kids there ages!

Either way you will have fun and so will they!

BILL

There is nothing better than...Kermit’s Original Key West Key Lime Shoppe if you are looking for Key Lime Pie on a stick dipped in Belgian Chocolate!:eek:
