Today was Mama Floatie's birthday so my sister Jude, Mama, and I made merry for a while and then headed up to our favorite spot for morning coffee...the starboard wing all the way aft on Lido. Our cabins were portside so starboard gave us a bird's eye view of the working side of the port...way cool to watch!!!

 

 

 

Does anybody know what ship this is way there in the back? It looked like a cut-off Farcus funnel to me?

 

 

Couldn't quite zoom enough to read the side!!

 

Floatie, don't know if you remember this from Mach's Crazies review from last year.....(since we left you and Julie behind on the dock in Key West :() .......but when we docked in Freeport........our beloved Ecstasy was also docked there......in drydock, getting her facelift. It was pretty cool to see her there.

I am counting down the days til Feb!!!!

Well we headed back to the ship and then it was time for our open bar cocktail party...some of us thought 2 hours was a good idea:eek: and it turns out it was:p I love these parties, people pay in advance so we tend to show up and have a ton of fun together, after spreading out all over the ship and ports for individual preferences on activities...

 

It was also a great kick-off to Mama's birthday celebration!! Here are some pics of our merriment that are fit for posting:cool:

 

 

 

Freddy made quick work of finding the cutie bartender...

 

[floatingaway2525]

Don't ask me, I know noth-ing!!:p

 

 

 

[floatingaway2525]

So somewhere in here, we got back to the cabins and made it to the MDR for the birthday party!! I gotta tell ya, I have the most amazing cruising family with the friends I have met through cruising, it's stunning sometimes...:) There was a flurry of ship-shopping for fun stuff to give Mama at dinner, champagne flowing, and that yummo chocolate cake from Formalities that Mom loves so much!!

 

 

Our Head Waiter Dylan made a beautiful ceremony with the champagne, she loved him!!!

 

 

[floatingaway2525]

We danced to Hey Baby tonight, my favorite:D I don't have any pics, I was dancing!!:p Then it was off to the PB to sing with Tom and party some more!!

 

 

 

 

 

Did I tell yas that Tom Riccio is getting on the Dream on 10/30, and our Crazie Dreamers are getting on 11/6??? WOOOHOOO we lucked out!!!!

[gaylensgigi]

 

The cutest Hey Baby dancer I have ever seen, Even beats our Orient Beach version.For those of you who dont know,this is Floaties very favotite dining room song

[gaylensgigi]

 

And the multi talented Dylan,who not only pours a mean glass of champagne but also shakes a mean tailfeather.

Has anyone else ever shopped that 10 dollar store? That place rocks, who knew what all you could get for 10 bucks:D

I have bought some of the stuff on other ships. I thought you meant a store in port. I have bought a couple of the pashminas and use one on each cruise (chilly in the MDR sometimes)

 

Thanks for keeping me straight on my shopping
