Kickapoo Joie Juice

Anyone on Team Bing Bong? :D Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

YES!!!

He was the CD for our first cruise (I think it was on the Monarch?) and the kids (who were about 8 and 9 then) walked around all week saying "bing bong!"

I wish he was the CD on the Oasis-that would be my favorite ship with my favorite cruise director :). H and I still say "bing bong!" at random times while we're onboard, lol.

Socks and long pants if you want to do ice skating (and you really should if you can; it's fun!)

If you do the zipline you can't wear a skirt or short shorts (you'd think this'd be obvious, but no).

A one piece swimsuit if you don't want to flash the watchers on the Flowrider.

Socks for the climbing wall (those shoes, tho...ew).

Some sort of identifying magnet on your door so you can find it (loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong hallways).

Probably more but that's just the top of my head from 2 cruises on her.

I'm coming out of lurk mode for this one.

We were on the Carnival Dream in Nov 2013. Our two daughters, then aged 13 and 15, were grumping about the fact that I would not allow them to wander down the cabin hallways by themselves-I would pick them up from the kids' clubs when they were done with them.

We're walking down the hallway and it's all blah blah blah mom you're way too overprotective, and a door opens to one of the cabins and a guy is standing there buck naked.

To.This.Day. the image of his sunburned pot belly and very sad looking pale junk is BURNED into my memory. I shoved the girls forward (they were walking in front of me and missed the junk show) and screeched "go go go!"

They turned around to see the guy leaning blearily out the door (not his junk, just his sunburned face) and were like what is your problem, Mom?!?

And I said "he's naked and probably drunk; keep going."

They stopped giving me crap about being overprotective for the rest of the cruise.

Mom for the win (at least that day).
