Lilmatcat Posted May 26, 2009 #1 Share Posted May 26, 2009 On May 2nd, a group of CC buddies called the Glory Gang set sail for a fun-filled week on the seas. Stowaway Freddy (the Flamingo) and Floatie have already shared reviews and did an exquisite job. This mini-review will fill in a few blanks and share some additional insight our amazing getaway. :) To get started, here's a little background on our group, written to the tune of Gilligan's Isle: Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale of the Glory Gang who started from a Florida port aboard a Car-ni-val FunShip!

Lilmatcat Posted May 26, 2009 Author #3 Share Posted May 26, 2009 The weather started getting rough, the tiny ship was tossed. If not for the courage of the fearless crew The Glory would be lost. The Glory would be lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lilmatcat Posted May 26, 2009 Author #16 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Several people in the Piano Bar that week enjoyed autographed copies of the early release of Damian's new CD: Haiku Troubadour. He is simply a magnificent artist -- dazzling piano skills and a voice to match! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilmatcat Posted May 26, 2009 Author #17 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Dollars bills were flying at the "fish bowl" all week long in appreciate of Damian's talents. There were several "ringers" and those people got to request two songs. Since Damian's contract with Carnival ended mid-week, he got to join us as a guest on board. On the final night, no one was playing in the piano bar so we had an impromptu "glowing home party"... When they cranked up Damian's CD the piano bar was circling 'round, just as though he was still playing -- and several others stopped by to join the festivities! Damian chuckled pretty hard when I threw some wadded up money on the piano bar as a tip that night!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilmatcat Posted May 26, 2009 Author #18 Share Posted May 26, 2009 New friends from the piano bar: "Does anyone know anything about handcuffs?" :eek: ...and the next pic -- some more piano bar friends! ...and we can't forget our new Canadian buds! When they met up with us at the Greenhouse on St. Maarten we found that they had just learned that day they were expecting their first child. Congratulations!!! ...Remember the guy in the yellow. I thought he was going to die the night that Bon talked about the stomach orgasm from the Supper Club -- and boy could he sing the drankin' song. (Lift up your skirt!!) No nay never no more!!! ...and how 'bout the night the guy on the right requested Piano Man and Damian jokingly said in a sarcastic tone of voice ''Piano Man is Twenty Bucks!!. I wish I would have seen Damian's face when the guy flopped the $20 out there without blinking an eye (and let me tell you, it was worth every penny. I know piano guys probably get sick of that one, but Damo does it brilliantly. What a crowd pleaser!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilmatcat Posted May 26, 2009 Author #19 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Shaking it up in the disco: Jeffie with Mama Linda! They rock!! Don't pop a hip, Floatie!! ...and don't forget the night Damian headed onto the dance floor for "Let's Dance" and we all joined him! Good times, good times!

Lilmatcat Posted May 26, 2009 Author #20 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Some scenes of the Glory Gang in the dining room: Jeffie and his bride (boy they clean up nice!) Awwww... aren't they cute -- Bonnie & Clyde (I mean, Steve!!) Smoof and Mama Linda Smoof and Vickie (Sure wish I could remember what was so funny -- kinda like I can't remember any of the hysterical jokes that Jeff and Smoof were telling up on Lido) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilmatcat Posted May 26, 2009 Author #21 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Apparently Freddy upset the Chef one night and he was about to put poor lil Freddy on the menu. I know I got mighty scared when he pulled that knife and was about to "off with Freddy's head!) :eek: But Damian arrived just in the nick of time. Apparently he sang something like "Stop! In the name of love, before you break my heart." It must have worked, because the chef gave Freddy a reprieve and he was still making the rounds at the piano bar the rest of the week, along with visits to Katarina at the martini bar, and stints in the disco bar, and at the lido bar... and... well, you get the picture! Later Andrew returned and thanked Deputy Damian for keeping watch over his Stowaway. He then visited the Chef and had a few words with him, just to let him know there's a new Sheriff in town -- and you mess with Freddy, you mess with SMOOFDADDY! :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucyt1207 Posted May 26, 2009 #22 Share Posted May 26, 2009 we are headed for the Glory May 30...your excitement is contagious and I hope we meet people half as fun as you...we will be in heaven! Thanks for all the laughter you have brought to me and many others with your pcitures and remarks...Freddy included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilmatcat Posted May 26, 2009 Author #23 Share Posted May 26, 2009 While we were sailing on the Glory, several of our sinna friends were just getting off the Splendor. We thought of them often, as well as our friends back home. Of course, as expected, as soon as Allen was out of sight Jeffie was off to happier horizons. One night he mentioned to Damian that "I only have eyes for you..." As far as Damian's reaction, this picture says it all. But in case Jeff didn't get the message, Damo made it pretty clear later on: "Blow it out your ear!! I'd rather find a flamingo!! :eek: I guess Allen is back in the running with Jeffie after all. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilmatcat Posted May 26, 2009 Author #24 Share Posted May 26, 2009 But word has it that when Jeffie and Damian found out they share the same birthday in August, they patched things up and lived happily ever after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilmatcat Posted May 26, 2009 Author #25 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Speaking of flamingos, I tried to be friendly with Freddy when we met up with him for our pre-cruise party in Cocoa Beach at the Doubletree... I turned my back for only a second and Freddy got a bit too friendly!! :eek: Baaaaad bird!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
