    Don K:

    Is anyone bringing their MonkeyHead or are you buying another one. Some I suspect will be buying their first. I haven't made up my mind, depends on how much stuff my DW wants to pack.

     

    We will be getting new MonkeyHeads, the trip from California would be too much for the ones we have, they need to stay home and watch the kids and the dogs.

    Re: Monkeyheads - Jan 23rd & 30th - 2010

    I know two guys also that would be interested in a slide race and possibly my DD. I don't think there is going to be a moment when we are going to have time to even sleep because of all the fun we are going to have on this ship.  Maybe we could get the captain to get lost and that would extend our cruise.

    Re: Monkeyheads - Jan 23rd & 30th - 2010

    I know there are a lot of "cruise experienced" people out there but I would like to share my rigorous and proven training regimen with all of you.  Cruising is serious business and not being prepared can risk serious injury, both mentally and and in your mind too.

     

    HOW I HAVE PREPARED TO CRUISE ABOARD CARNIVAL DREAM

    1. I go to buffet restaurant and practice stopping in place for no reason at all.
    2. As I go through buffet line, I push my tray of food into the L5-L6 vertebrae of the person in front of me in line to hasten their food choices. Then I say, huh, what you mean and push the tray again into the person and roll my eyes upward.
    3. I go to a travel agency and sit next to customers and I say,“I got a great deal on this cruise, how much did you pay?...and no matter what they say, i will answer,...yeah, that's great but i paid (i.e. any amount $300 or more, less than they
    paid)....if someone else beats your price then tell I them my wife is a travel agent
    and we are paying $25 per day!...if they top that, tell them you are on
    a free cruise.....you sued the cruise line because they forgot to
    change your sheets during your last cruise and did not put a towel monkey on the bed on formal night!...this is really good practice conversation with New Yorkers or Floridians!
    4. I practice filling water bottles with vodka, white rum, and gin.
    5. I walk into a Department store and put my hand to my forehead. Say, "Oh, this
    room is rocking. This cruise is so rocky!" Do this in at least
    four stores.

    6. I stand in my shower, wrap the shower curtain around me and shower by standing in one place. Ladies, shave your legs to do this.

    7. I start eating a lot of food.

    8. I take a taxi ride. Tell the driver "the best beach, please!"

    9. I go to my roof or deck and lean way out and look down…I point and yell 'LOOK, LOOK A WHALE!"

    10. I sit with some people I don't know in a restaurant. When they look at you like you are crazy, I tell them I am practicing to meet tablemates on my next cruise!

    11. I practice saying how much I hate this cruise line and I should
    know because I been on 30 of their cruises.

    12. Every time I flush my toilet, I simultaneously turn on the vacuum cleaner

    13. I get onto a crowded elevator by pushing my way on, while insisting that there's lots of room. (Be sure to stay by the doors, so that those who got on
    first and want to get off first, have to ask your permission.

    14.I never leave the house without my duct tape, over the door shoe organizer, surge protector, lysol wipes, and night light.

    15. I wake up at
    5AM every morning and creep around the neighborhood, placing towels on my neighbors' patio chairs to reserve them for the day.

    16. I wait for my mailman, then say he/she is late with my order. If he looks at you funny, give him your Funship room number and tell him to be on time tomorrow.

    17. I roll up $20 bills and light them on fire in preparation for my casino losses.

    18. If your significant other/wife/hubby does something especially nice for you, issue him/her Onboard Credit.

    19. I go to bars and practice slyly bringing my water bottle up to pour into my drink. If asked, I respond that these drinks are just too strong for me.
     20.     I spend hours researching what all that silverware is for at my placesetting in the dining room.21.     I take my sail and sign card to bars and use it to pay for my drinks.  I place my monkeyhead on the bar and gleefully ask for another DOD.  When they look at me funny, I tell them I am personal friends with John Heald and this will be reported.22.      As I walk out of the house or business, I stop and smile like they are taking an embarkations photo.23.     I have a slot I slip my ID into each time I leave or enter the house.  I make a “goink” sound.24.     When I get home from shopping, I XRAY all my purchases.  I hold my liquor for 5 days and then put it in my bedroom before bed.

    25.     I go to the mall and look all over the walls for pictures of me.  If someone asks, I tell them I was in the late seating in the aft dining room and ask if they can help me.

    26.  I go to sporting goods department, put on an orange life vest, then ask the clerk where muster station 'E" is at.  I then stand really close to people I don't know and mutter inane comments about muster drills.

     

    Some these are merely suggestions but some are critical to being prepared.  Oh yes, #27.  Spend way too much time online posting silly comments and reading others postings.

    Re: Monkeyheads - Jan 23rd & 30th - 2010

    You certainly may change your mind after spending some of the week with me.  That's why I'm doing the second half, save the best for last.  I promise I am not boring.  I'm talking with Rox about yellowbird.  CCL has it for $25 each which seems good to me.  Gotta go work on my coconut shell bra and grass skirt.......
