Hello :)

Does anyone have any Patters for the Hawaii cruises? I thought I read something on here the other day that someone was going to post some, but I can't find the thread. I'm just trying to get a gist of how the daytime/evening programs go as I've got adult and kid schedules to work on.

Thanks!

It`s today!!! See you all soon!

David, Dee & Natalie:

 

Not long now...... no doubt we all need a fun, yet relaxing cruise away!

I hope to catch up with you all.

Im in cabin #11832, and we can always leave phone messages for each other to meet up with a where and time.

We are really close! 11685!

That seems really cool - better than walkie talkies!

I keep my phone with me even though it's on airplane mode - I use it for music and a clock (I don't wear a watch), but I kind of like being more switched off than I am in my regular life.

I also plan on getting the iConcierge app. I've used it before and it's pretty handy for texting and phoning others with the app without having to go back to the stateroom. :D

Ooh, I heard about this the last time we sailed! Might make it easier to find each other (I don't know how many laps around the ship that Natalie and I have made trying to find each other).

How much is the "nominal fee" to use it onboard?

I have to look up what cabin we're in - I have no idea! As long as I don't have to wash the dishes or make the bed, I'd been happy anywhere.

yeah, what they said. :p

Can't wait to meet you too, Davy :D

We love cocktails, and flying... can't wait to meet you :)

HA!!! I was able to talk her into coming in the day before. We're taking an afternoon flight to Ft. Lauderdale. We won't be checked in to our hotel until around 8. We're staying at the Intercontinental. Love that place. :-)

Excellent news! Can't have you running down the pier, waving your arms telling us to wait up! Does your friend have to fly far to meet you?

Dee and Natalie - I assume you are coming in to Miami early.

Scot - How about you?

 

As of now I plan on coming into Miami the day of but I'm trying to convince my travel partner into coming in the night before.

We're flying in the day before, and booked a hotel (can't remember which one!) Both of us are terrified of missing the ship, so we've never chanced arriving that morning. One traffic jam or late flight and you get left behind on the dock.

We had a close call last year with a medical issue - we had to stop at an urgent care centre the morning of the cruise, and with all the delays with waiting for the doctor and whatnot, we weren't released until almost 1pm and still had to get to the port. We'd even called our travel agent to see if she could let them know that we were on our way and to PLEASE not sail without us! We were the last ones on board, and needed several drinks to recover from the stress of racing across Miami.

Nope... not doing that again!

Davy, want us to harangue your travel partner to come the day before? ;) Have they cruised before?

Thanks for this, Kekohia!

We are so excited about this cruise - we've been on the Epic, but this one on the Escape is just feels so over-the-top. I can't believe that in a month we'll be sailing!

Are you doing any of the activities on the main Roll Call page?

On my NCL sailings all of the FOD meetings have been well attended the first couple of days. They seem to die out as the week goes on. I'm assuming people meet who they want to hang out with and go from there. Anyway, I will be there with two other gay friends and one straight ally. Hope you decide to come.

Thanks Davy - that helps a lot! We'll be there :)

Thanks, DavyB :)

Have you found that there's much participation in the FOD meetings on the cruises you've been on (have you ever gone?) We aren't new to cruising, but we are a bit unfamiliar cruising as an out couple. We'd just like to meet up with some people that are up for a few laughs, and the size of this ship makes it hard to know where to start, you know?

Woo hoo!

Thanks!

(I'd been looking for a G&L Rollcall, but there isn't one... I'll check out the one you sent)

We are! I looked for a Roll Call but didn't find one.

Want to start one? :)

:D:D:D
