Miscellaneous(part 3....or is it 4?)

[Amunet]

Thanks for your input guys I've talked with my parents (since they help support me while in school) and I've set a date with my advisor for wednesday ... I'll figure it out then

Church cruise? Well depends the religion and how uh ... much one follows it. There are some religions that still allow spirits.

Oh yes and I fired my TA. She was horrible.

 

[Breeze]

Not sure if you met Mari..........she has also cruised with me several other times..........thats probably why I remember her................ Hasn't EVERYONE cruised with you several times?:lol You're like a one woman goodwill ambassador for RCCL and your mission is to cruise with everyone who has ever set foot on one of their ships!!!! it's a rough job, but someone has to do it, right?
So when's the next cruise? Are you packed yet? LOL

 

[PH8]

hey.what are you insinuating??? hahaha...................next cruise??? I'll never tell.....haha

HIYA Marcia.................how are you and Carl doing these days??

 

[sanjoseca]

Amunet.....I really like my Travel Agent, she's good........there's times that I wonder about her Royal Champion husband though....cranky old guy....he's almost as bad as I am....Hah, hah, hah!

Hey Rita......any knowledge of how long the reduced on board booking charge will be in effect? How about for Celebrity? I need to do some bookings on June 20.

BB, you need to read the Coupon Book thread on CC......PH isn't being the ambassador that she once was......which, under the circumstances, is understandable.

Any one know how you can very effectively bitch about food quality without hurting your waiter when filling out the comment cards?......I'm done holding back and resent the head waiters trying to make you feel guilty for bitchin' about food. Maybe I need to start a thread on that.......I'll think about that for a while.

 

[PH8]

I have to say the food on the Monarch was VERY good.................thanks to the old head chef from the SS(Nestor)..................big difference than the food was in January............

I think it sucks BIG time with the new coupon book..................not even worth the paper its printed on..........

I didnt think that new booking deal was a limited time thing...........I can ask the LA and see what he says....................

Did you see the pic of the MA going under the Golden Gate Bridge..................its now my desktop wallpaper....................

 

[sanjoseca]

PH, sometimes the food is cooked quite well, but the selection quality is what I have seen rapidly go down hill......I was really disappointed on Jewel last fall......the selections weren't very much better than a Buffet in Nevada.

If you can ask the Loyalty Ambassador....that would be helpful. I heard that it was $100 per person to book.......I wonder if it's more for a couple of two weekers.....and, if it's good for booking Celebrity.

 

[PH8]

Morning..........

No, the way it works,San.is its $100 pp no matter how long the cruise is.................you can only do this kind of deal onboard............plus you get OBC OR the Diamond Discount,..................I emailed the LA on MN last night..........they dont always read their personal mail ASAP,but when I hear,I'll let you know....................

I saw many new food items on the menu this past week........not sure if its just for the MN or not??? Not sure how that works............

Hey BB----Senior Days at Bealls today and tomorrow,in case you needed something for your cruise..........

going for my permanent crowns this morning............

Later!!

 

[Breeze]

Morning! Only one way to describe the weather in Florida right now - HOT, HOT, HOT!!! We are into our 90+ days. To make matters worse, we haven't had a drop of rain in this area for over 2 weeks and there's really nothing in sight to give us a good soaking. PH - Did you get any rain yesterday? Missy said she got better than half an inch.

Can't wait to try the food on MN. There are certain things I liked on the old menu, but look forward to some new stuff. That's one thing I liked on our Carnival cruise. There was plenty of variety on the menu every night and not as limited as RCCL has been lately.

I read that thread about the coupon books. They are totally useless at this point. You have to spend money on every single one. That's ridiculous! Why even bother, if that's how it's going to be. We always used the one for a discount on the second bottle of wine in the dining room for under $50. Now that's only for wine OVER $50? Forget it! Their wines are overpriced as it is. I can just see it now - - - Le Terra at $50!: Step right up with that coupon for this great bargain ... NOT!!!!!

Rita - Ask Bill what happened to the Celtics last night. Go Magic!P)

 

[PH8]

Home from the dentist..........I am now the proud owner of 2 new crowns..........yiippee..........

No rain here............I wish..........hate turning on the sprinkler..................

How about the coupon for the Dom????????? yea,like I'll ever buy it................

think I'll go grab one my new books I bought at Sams yesterday and go sit outside...............

 

[Breeze]

Glad to hear you've been "crowned"! Aren't you glad that's over with?

I agree about the coupon for the Dom. That stuff is nasty and highly over rated. Speaking of libations, have you heard about the new kiosk at Florida Mall (near Dillards) that sells Florida fruit wines? It just opened on the 1st. None of the wines are made from grapes. You can sample everything they have and I think we just about did! The mango wine is to die for and their white sangria tastes sooo good. Have you ever gone to the Key West Winery? This place carries some of the same wines. It's pricey - $18-20. a bottle, but nice for something different. I didn't care for their red wine though. That was too fruity for me.

 

[PH8]

Havent been over there in a while...........but I'll check it out................not sure if I'd like the wines or not,but you never know.............

Maybe I can meet you there someday and we can have lunch at BdB.............

 

[Breeze]

That's a great idea! We had dinner at BdB on Saturday with K&G. I bit hard to have a relaxing dinner with 2 kids who wouldn't sit still!

Still waiting to hear from Laurie to find out if and when they're coming down tomorrow. If they are, Bert needs to go get some steaks for dinner.

 

[sanjoseca]

Thanks PH.


Guess you're Royalty X2 now.

 

[PH8]

dont know about that,San...........

waiting on Dennis to get home any minute now...............he's eat,shower, take a nap and head back to the Keys this evening.................he passes himself coming and going..................

any particular days good for you,BB??

 

[Breeze]

All of next week looks good for us right now. Nothing planned for the week except some minor packing for that pesky cruise we're going on!:lol

 

[PH8]

Not sure that Dennis will be able to come with his wacky schedule...............We'll figure out when is good for me and we'll do it!!!! Deal??

 

[Breeze]

Deal!

I am still cleaning up around here. Can't believe how messed up things get when you don't keep up with it for a couple of days. I was going to do the floors yesterday, but had second thoughts with the MMs coming last night. I sure am glad I held off or I would be doing it all over again today. The kids made a real mess by the table ... taco meat and banana pudding got dropped on the floor!: Only thing left to do is wash the tile floor. I wonder if I can talk Bert into doing that part. Hmmm ... I've got to work on this!

 

[PH8]

whatta mess!!! wow...........

I'll let you know asap when Dennis will be gone for the whole day ,which will mean I can head to Orlando.........It might be Wed or Thursday......that way i dont have to worry about picking him up.........or taking him to the truck.......................did you ever get to Ocala to get to gause??

 

[Breeze]

Taking next Tuesday off the table. I forgot I'm getting a perm that day.

Never made it to Ocala. Found a jeweler at Florida Mall who did the repair. Friends recommended the place. Turns out half the people who work there are from NJ! It was like a reunion. Best part was that the owner's last name was the same as my maiden name. Tried to convince him we're related, but it didn't work!

 

[Amunet]

Ech, taking a break from packing/cleaning. Gross.

Breeze ~ A perm? I hope it turns out wonderful! I once had one when I was younger ... it didn't flatter me at all. I'm sure it will on you though ^_^

So on cruise critic, I've been meeting people for my cruise and we're all planning a Cabin Crawl and our cabin is one of them hosting! I'm excited and kind of nervous ... never been on a cruise so I've never hosted a room with cabin crawl ^^;
Any advice?
