AFT_LOVER Posted November 26, 2006 #1 Share Posted November 26, 2006 BEHIND THE BASH is the show. It is behind cruiseship's preparation of the extravaganzas they prepare. I believe it is aboard FREEDOM! So set TIVO for it if you are out shopping. Also great new store that isn't new. SEARS GRAND is the name & it is a KMart that wasn't selling, so Sears moved in & what a delight the store is. Folks walk up to you to ask if you need help with anything. I am done with Chrstmas shopping, done at 5AM Friday when no one was up! MACY's took over Kaufmanns & had $25 king size down comforters, so I got 6 so all friends are warm! Then to my grocer, who also had discount gas stations - spend $50 & get $.10 off a gallon of gas, buy gift cards & get $.20 off per $50. So I got $100 Home Depot card for my BIL. I brought $150 gift card for Macy's so I got $2.00 a gallon off on a 16 gal fillup. So it was $.16 a gallon! Even had my neighbor pull up behind me so I filled her up also since 30 gallons max. Told her "Merry Christmas" as she is 86 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

megr1125 Posted November 26, 2006 #8 Share Posted November 26, 2006 HELP! I don't have cable and my cousin who usually tapes stuff for me is away! Can anyone tape/TiVo/DVD it for me?? I will send money for the tape/dvd/postage. I LOVE behind the scenes stuff. I used to work for Marriott and it was fun to help with big banquets and all. I was in another department, but sometimes they called everyone to help. It was fun.....a little discombobulated (sp) but fun. Thanks..... you can email me at cruisermegathotmaildotcom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFT_LOVER Posted November 26, 2006 Author #14 Share Posted November 26, 2006 but when I saw the ad on TV for it, I was there at 4:45AM & the only car at the entrance I was at, so I was ready to enter, go up 2 escalators & grab! Even had a man who took my purchases to the register as I grabbed more & he rang them up & walked me to the SUV to stuff that. Then DH walks with me thru jewelry as I love Monet & sure enough SALE so I got some fun stuff that looks ritzy. Then BJs was open at 7AM so my DH hit them for USB 2 gig for $29 with their $30 off coupon. He gave me another to buy one also with my AMEX so we get another year warranty. So now he has 2 even came with a lanyard to hooking them to it. Then we drove over to the new Sears Grand & see it is the lousy KMart that was there. We walked in & saw the colors, department names bouldy done on the walls, and we both said WOW! Bought nothing but enjoyed the people there but too far from our house to be a regular. Had lunch at Cheesecake Factory ($50 gift certificate that was $.20 off a gallon of gas.) Today is FOOTBALL! Then I watch the TIVO of the show. Wow...those prices on the down comforters were great! You saved a lot of $$$$ there! Good bargains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruising89143 Posted November 26, 2006 #15 Share Posted November 26, 2006 The program was ok. Showed more behind the scenes in the kitchen of what it takes to get ready for a large charity event on board ship. Did show some areas of the ship.

AFT_LOVER Posted November 26, 2006 Author #16 Share Posted November 26, 2006 with 1800 onboard with a night of cruising to nowhere with food, booze, friends & then their bash the next night. They did a great job on the presentation & I love Giada and how cute but no overpowering she is. Nothing like Sam on Travel Channel. The camerawork including the elevator ride shooting floors going down andthe dining room from 5 down to 3. Now after the cookoff between Giada & Rachel Ray on Nov 17 & Rachel won. So I want equal time on Freedom with Rachel Ray! Then a reminder for TRAVEL CHANNEL - DECEMBER 17 at 8PM ET Freedom of the Seas special. Bummer..not available here in Canada... I think it was filmed at the charity event before Freedom's official first revenue sailing on June 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SherriZ366 Posted November 26, 2006 #17 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Thanks for the heads up on the Travel Channel special. Went to the food network website to see if the FOS show would be repeated but did not see anything on the schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
