SD II - 3/6/2009 - We're Booked As Well

[DisneyJen]

I think you are on to something with the PJs. Anyone can buy some old Chico's stuff but only SeaDreamers get the PJs. Now, just what are you going to have embroidered on them?What are your "pet names" for each other anyway? Just please, no hearts or kissy lips on the PJs. Thank you.

J.

 

The Chico's comment made DJ's DH spew his Bloody Mary:eek:

 

Our pet names aren't repeatable ... no seriously they are ... ready for this ... Muffy and Biff. Those of you know us in real life will understand. I wonder if they can embroider a Mickey Mouse head instead of lips:p

 

You are so mean! (Donations cheerfully accepted)

 

We call that demonstrating leadership qualities in our house ... which is not to be confused with Bossy or DJ's DH's eighth elf ... B*tchy

 

the folks at the office would probably agree with your first sentence-I hear it a lot from my family too . . . .but as for donations, check the GTY rates brought to our attention by RAYSAN11 . . . Its awfully close to what we originally paid for a 7 day jaunt. Add that to knowing you will be sailing with DJ & DJ's DH and all the other guests posting in this thread. With Captain T driving and Stephane as hotel manager, couldn't ask for anything more (except calm seas).:)

Actually DJ's DH and I honored to being sailing with such a wonderful gathering of CCer and friends ... as well as our favorite Captain in the world ... Capt. T. We can't wait to meet Stephane as we have heard excellent things about him!

 

Well time to head into EPCOT ... You know what that stands for ... Every Person Comes Out Tired!!

I just want to wish all the fellow passengers on this trip a happy and prosperous New Year, well in the present times whatever keeps you happy. As I t is now January it means that my vacation starts next month as I fly to Florida on the 28th February, so I am now started to get even more excited about the cruise and meeting all of you on May 6th. Once again have a great New Year. I have already started to lose some weight so that I am prepared to feast on the Seadream II

[RAYSAN11]

Got my month wrong MARCH 6th

Got my month wrong MARCH 6th

 

you were scaring me . . . could not bear it if we had to wait until May.

 

Enjoy your vacation and we look forward to meeting y'all. I know ZQ Vol will go shopping in San Juan (he loves the Polo outlet) and I'll be hanging out either pool side or in the casino (since they removed the slots from SD, have to get my gambling itch scratched before we board -- I lose way too much money playing blackjack on board, something about the never empty glass of champagne and "hit me" or "double down" equals major dollar losses).

Happy New Year to you and yours!

 

How wonderful that your vacation starts next month. DJ's DH said to me on New Year's Day that the cruise became real to him since we are in '09 now:p

 

Of course Zqvol is right on top of things in terms of the countdown ... I don't know how many times he mentioned the magic number during our post New Year party:D

We knew what you meant;)

March cannot get here fast enough!

 

No shopping or gambling for me ... you'll find me poolside in SJU.

I did some research on other ships in San Juan the same days as we are embarking and disembarking. On the day we sail, March 6th, Seadream are the only ships loading or unloading passengers on that day. But Continental shipping has not got the schedule up for 2009 so there may be cruise ship on a day visit.

On the day we sadly disembark there are 3 cruise ships in port. Caribbean Princess, Carnival Victory and Adventurer of the Seas. I originally did this research to see how early I would have to book the air tickets. So the only issue is that carnival docks at pier 4 just along from Seadream. I hope there aren’t any transport issues as we have an 11:10 flight as it is the only way we can get home the same day.

[DisneyJen]

When we disembarked from SD in SJU last March on a Sunday morning we didn't have an issue with the taxis ... we were probably the last people off the ship at around 9:15.

 

I might suggest checking with the AD or the concierge when we board as they will have a good idea on flow on disembarkation day.

I am certain there will be no problems getting a taxi to the airport when you disembark in SJU. Isn't that what those forms are for -- the ones filled-out while onboard, where you indicate your flight departure date & time? Taxis have been secured for us prior to disembarking on both our cruises.

 

When we sailed SD out of SJU, she was docked at Pier 1, which is quite a distance away from pier 4. Taxis & their "charming" drivers swarm that area like flies on...well, you get the picture. :)

Had to bump this one up as we are now number 4 on the Itinerary listing for SD 2 at the SD site. DJ's DH and I were making "secret" plans yesterday . . . less than 60 days. . . CAN NOT WAIT. . . especially when the high here is supposed to be a balmy 18 today.

 

just remember provisionmaster . . . .stock up on that champagne .. . . we don't want to run out (or you don't want me and DJ to run out!!!):D

Actually we are at 48 days until we board ... 47 days until we leave for SJU:D

 

DJ's DH slipped last night and said that he had lunch with you FT ... okay so it was more me asking him what he had lunch so I could plan dinner. When he told me about his salad I knew that he did not eat at the employee cafeteria:p

 

He didn't spill the beans (or should I say the champagne) in terms of what you two discussed:eek:

 

Running out of champagne would be very bad!!!

 

So who has thought about packing at this point ... other than me:p

[Jim Avery]

The Destin Chico's is having a huge sale. I'm sure you will get valet parking too.

WAAHH!!!

 

I wonder if our Chico's here in NC is having a sale. FT and I are having lunch on Monday ... and one of the restaurants I suggested is right near a Chico's (go figure:p).

As I emailed FT this morning...25 years of marriage (most of them happy) - approaching 29 together, and NO, I HAVEN'T LEARNED...

 

DisneyJen is tired of using 2x4's to get a message across, but I can tell you (OUCH!:eek:) that the 2x4's still work...

I'm gone too visiting the mouse, or I should say on Monday driving home.

[DisneyJen]

Just off the phone with DJ's DH who is in Sweden right now:rolleyes:

 

I reminded him that we are at the 44 day mark:D

 

It's snowing here in NC which is highly unusual and means no school today.

 

Come on March!!!

The mouse sent his regards to you.

Thanks for passing on the Mouse's regards:p Just off the phone with DVC (Disney Vacation Club). Made our reservations for Christmas at Disney ... again:D

Hope things are well with everyone. Sorry to have not posted in awhile, but work has continued to be very hectic for the both of us with very little free time to spare. We are counting the days until we can escape yet another worse than normal Chicago winter for San Juan on March 5, and we are already also looking at booking another SeaDream trip for later this year. We will be staying at the Holiday Inn in the Condado area the night of March 5. If any get together is planned before boarding SD II on March 6, we are definitely interested.

Every time I see Chicago weather on the television I think of you two. :eek:

 

A new SD poster, ohmiss, has started a thread about a meeting before we embark on March 6.

 

All who are interested in our little gathering may want to take a look and post so we can make arrangements.

[Jim Avery]

Anyone made any inquiries as to passenger makeup on this trip????

Jim,

 

as posted earlier, we're not changing our plans no matter what ... its not easter break, the pricing changes seems to have eliminated the issue we suffered several years ago . . . so all's right until we hear otherwise . .. and it sounds like there's enough critical mass from CC to make it a wonderful group . . . . as if Captain T would tolerate any shenanigans anyway.
