Fascination In Jacksonville

[APDMOM]

Is March 12 2012 to far away to put on your calendar? :)

 

Hi, RBCL!

 

I notice Fascination is no longer in your signature & switched to Destiny... If you are still leaving tomorrow, let me know & I will take pics. Otherwise, I assume your plans have changed?

Hi again APDMOM --

 

Thanks for posting a link to this thread. I couldn't find it using the Search feature. I will subscribe to this thread. :D

 

We will be on the May 7, 2012 sailing and will be starboard, deck 9 aft (where the umbrellas are.)

 

Thanks for doing what you do.

I added you to my calendar. Hopefully we will have beautiful weather this time for great pictures. "Say cheese" between 5:20 and 5:40 p.m. :D

Hi,

I also will be on the April 28th cruise.

 

You took pics in Nov 2010 of our cruise to sprinkle my son's ashes at sea! (To swim forever with the Dolphins) I can't tell you how special those pictures were of the dophins escorting us out to SEA! Thanks for making our cruises even more special!

 

Thanks again!

 

Glad you get to go again. It is always extra special to take pics of CC friends from Roanoke. Many beautiful memories from there... :)

My husband (1st cruise) and I will be on the April 28 sailing for our birthdays (4/28 and 4/29) and seen that someone has already asked if you would take a photo. If you don't mind could you post it on this thread?

 

Thank you in advance!

 

(OT) Matrix, come over to the rollcall and meet a bunch more of us that will be on the 4/28 cruise. It's really busy over there, so it will be near the top of the "Fascination Roll Calls" list.

 

Looking forward to meeting you there and when we get on the ship! ;)

APDMOM, just an update... on the rollcall, we're already talking about holding an informal Meet-&-Greet on the Lido stub-deck during sail-away. Watch for a bunch of crazies back there... I hope we get away on-time this cruise! :D

Go into the mian show lounge on the lowest level (It is multiple decks).

 

Walk right up to the stage, turn right go all the way over, turn left and OUT the door to the very front of the ship!

 

There has never been ANYBODY out there when we have used the "Secret door".

 

So what is behind the secret door?

[oldrailfan]

So what is behind the secret door?

 

If we told, it wouldn't be a secret anymore, would it? ;)

 

J/K - Actually, it is a small weather deck that is forward of the main house, the farthest forward you can get and still be in a public area. You can view the whole foredeck area from there. The only access to this area is thru the so-called secret doors, (both sides of the stage) so very few people are ever on it.

Oh and don't forget to stop by the Atrium bar and say hi to bartender Tommy!!! It's my understanding he's been working for Carnival since 1987. He can be quite the entertainer!!!

Just stirring the pot

 

APDMOM, April 28th...there are a whole bunch of us that will be at the rear of the Lido deck for a Meet-and-Greet as we sail down the river. Hope you can get pictures this time...

I was just looking at it on my calendar - literally about minute ago :D If it does not rain, we will be there. Wish my cruise was that close! Enjoy the last few days of the countdown :)

OK, I've doubled down - we're B2B on the 28th and May 3rd. I'll look for you both times.

Love looking at the pictures!! Can't wait for our first cruise ;)

So what side faces you? (the photographer?) Driver's side or Passenger side? [sorry, I'm a race car driver, so that's what I base everything off of]

Always a good idea to extend your vacation! So far, the weather looks good. You are also in for a treat... Mayport currently has a Coast Guard tall ship. Here is a link to the news story.

"See" you tomorrow :)

:D That would be the passenger side.

 

Aka Starboard. My husband has a cheesy way to remember it... "I'm a star and I'm always right" Thus Starboard = right side of ship. It's funny how you remember the cheesy stuff...

...and so the addiction begins :D

 

Unfortunately, we are not available to take pictures that day. Enjoy your cruise!

[cminnick70]

thanks so much for even checking out my date. I'm just happy with looking at the pictures, it keeps me excited knowing that will be us soon.

APDMOM we will be on the 10/8/12 cruise. Would you mind putting us on your calendar? We will be on the starboard side of the Lido deck.

Gladly. If the weather cooperates, I will be there :)

Call me a nerd, but I remember the sides of the ship with a cheesy way as well... port has 4 letters, left has 4 letters, right and starboard, well they are both more than 4 letters. Also, aft has 3 letters and starts with "a", there is another word that has 3 letters and begins with "a"...

 

APDMOM, I have enjoyed reading this thread and seeing all of your photos. You should get hours of cruise critic community service :p My family is considering going out of Jacksonville for our 2013 cruise. If we do, I will have to let you know. Maybe we can book on the same cruise and "meet" that way, instead of you wishing that you were onboard watching us leave.

My son and I will be on this cruise too!

TIA!

 

Hi,

I also will be on the April 28th cruise.

 

Thanks again!

 

PLUS Oldrailfan... (It will only let me quote 3 at a time)

 

I have posted your departure pics on your roll call

matrix1405, are you able to access them? If not, I can post them here too.

 

If you would like to have "originals", just e-mail me at APDMOM@live.com

 

Oldrailfan, your train came in while you were on the ship :D

"See" you Thursday again!

:D Now I'll never forget aft! The funny thing is, it is not a bad word in South Africa... Cultures are so interesting!

 

Glad you are enjoying the thread! We may be able to go this summer. DH is just waiting for leave approval :) Keep me posted. We will take pics if it is during "daylight months".

[oldrailfan]

APDMOM - were you there for the May 3 sailaway? Was that you in the red car on "your" beach? (Whoever it was, she was shooting pictures)

 

That was me on the orange shirt on the aft corner of the Lido Deck...

 

ADDED: Funny line about the train! :D

 

ADDED2: I got a couple of good pictures of the USCGB Eagle. I'll put them up after we get home. CruisinHappy and I both got Ships on a Stick!

Yes, that was me! I will post the pics sometime tomorrow. We have a first grade project covering the livingroom floor at the moment :eek:

 

By the way, check out my signature... We finally booked Fascination! :D DH has more limited leave with his new job, so all our cruises will have to be spring/summer. I was so happy when his July leave got approved!
