    Re: Shout Out 12-06-09 Conquest Cruise

    Howdy Folks!! Its getting closer...Finally made up our minds on excursions...they are as follows..

    1. Montego Bay--- Dreamers Catamaran Sail and snorkle
    2. Cayman--- Cayman Parasail and Beach escape
    3. Cozumel----Beach Buggy and snorkle at Punta Sur

    I'm slowly getting to mark things off of my supply and packing list..

    Watched a you tube video of the parasailing in Cayman and it kinda freaked me out that they dipped them in the water..Husband wants to do it soooo I'm gonna do it to.Will definately need a DOD afterward... if not one before.

    Has anyone been up the lighthouse at Punta Sur? Its 133 steps to the topHmm..I think I can make it to the top...I should probably start taking the stairs while Im at work and not use the elevator...Big Smile

    Hi;

    I won't be on your cruise on Dec. 6th, I will be on the Sensation that day. However, I am a lighthouse freak. Could you please post photos of the light when you get back so that I can check themout. Thanks. Have a great trip.

    Good afternoon everyone! Bright and sunny here in Tulsa. When I was on my way to work this morning, I felt like I was late. So used to leaving in the dark and this morning at 6:50am the sun was already bright and sunny.

    Two days after we leave on the 5th my boss is leaving for India for a month. The other ladies are going to have to work 7 days straight until I get back and they are kinda whiney about it. I'll have to bring them back something special from the islands to make it up to them, and pull a couple of doubles when I get back to give them a break, but until then I told them kindly to *** it up. After all, no boss and no general manager for a week, sounds like party time for them. After I booked this cruise I was talking to my boss about it, and within a week or so he had me book his family on a cruise. He just wanted a short one, being his first, but I talked him into going on Conquest. He ended up with a pack n go and got to go BEFORE me. RAVE reviews from bossman. He said he would rather go on another cruise instead of going to India, but then his family would be unhappy for the holidays.

    Seafoam, thanks for the information on the limo, but I think, (but not sure), I checked into that and $35pp is for a group rate. There will just be two of us. If this is not the case, please give me the info on this place. Limo riding sounds fun, but out of range for us.

    Joan, sorry to hear about your achy knees. I had 3 knee surgeries and a female surgery all in less than 18 months about 4 years ago. I had PCL reconstruction first, it didn't take, then again and the allograft still didn't take. Refused trying again, told them just clean up the inside, get rid of the dead tissue and give me PT (years of it). Now I barely have a limp at all, and usually just if I'm real tired. Just 39 at the time so no new knees for me. Told me I would have to wait. Keep up the PT, it just takes time.

    Just 34 more days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Kenny  I will be happy to send you one of my Ecstasy pins.  E-mail me with your address.  It might be the end of the week before I get around to it.  We have to be to work very early tomorrow.  t envy you for booking the Dream, I hope we can do the same for sometime in 2010.  We are also planning on the Triumph 12/6/2010 although we haven't booked yet.  Seaform, I just noticed you asked about decorating the door.  Would you believe none of us have ever decorated the door.  I used to be very artsy-crafts but since my dd is working so many hours, I just don't have fun doing it by myself. I get very lazy on a cruise.  I just like to sit on the Lido with my glass of iced tea and enjoy my family, friends and the water.

    Re: Shout Out 12-06-09 Conquest Cruise

    Hey Big G- welcome to the best cruise ever!!

     

    There are several folks celebrating anniversaries and b-day on this cruise. I need to update the list. We are also traveling with a group of 12 friends and family. We will  be on deck 7 midship and cannot wait. There have been some good ideas on this thread for door decorations etc... If you have not done so check out the rest of the posts here.

    I printed up a small list of "DO NOT FORGETS" and items to consider taking (all came from seauonboard and other threads here. My group loved it and all called or emailed to say thanks. We have all cruised several times and the items on that list will be invaluable for this trip.

    Only 33 days Conquestadors  WOO HOO

    Re: Shout Out 12-06-09 Conquest Cruise

     

    Another newbie to the message board.  Getting excited about the cruise.  There are 5 of us from Dallas.  Amy - 45 (3rd cruise on Carnival), Ric - 40 (2nd cruise on Carnival), our son Joshua - 9 (1st ever cruise), Carolyn - Amy's mom (2nd cruise on Carnival) and Smoky - Amy's dad (1st ever cruise).

    Anyone else out there traveling with children around 9?  If so, what excursions have you decided on?  Have you been on cruise with them before - any hints on keeping them entertained?  He's wanting to bring his DS because he thinks Camp Carnival is going to be "boring".

    What does "There have been some good ideas on this thread for door decorations" mean...is this a way to find everyone on the message board?

    Amy

    Welcome aboard Amy! Glad to hear from you. My kids are older and staying home, so can't help you there. My boss took his 9 year old daughter on Conquest this past late August and she had a blast.

    The good ideas for door decorations is about decorating the outside of your cabin door. Its fun to add that personal touch to your home for a week, and also makes it easier to find your cabin door among many. Sometimes if you have gotten a little too tipsy it's really a lifesaver.

    Just 33 more days!!!!

    Re: Shout Out 12-06-09 Conquest Cruise

     Hi Amy - we do nothave kids going this trip (they are much older anyway). I can tell you that my nephew first cruised at your sons age and we could get him out of the kids club. Btwn that and the arcade he was pretty much lost to all of us.

    One night we let him plan a "pizza party" thru room service for himself and all his friends in our room. They watched movies and had the time of their lives thinking they were all that.

    Hope this helps a little - look forward to seeing you on the cruise.

    We are super excited and can't wait to mix it up....the couples that are coming with us are so very nice and one of them is kinda kookoo like us....we are on the main deck I think....we bought this cruise a long time ago for the bargain...we only upgraded one deck at that time so we wouldn't be below the kitchen....some friends of ours just returned and they said the room they got was kinda warm...I have heard that about the conquest before...we have never had trouble keeping our room cool in the past....one of the couples sailing with us has sailed the conquest before....hope to meet many new people and share some culture...looks like we are kinda coming in from the 4 corners....just listen for the drawl and you'll find us....lol
