fpebbles Posted October 16, 2010 #6 Share Posted October 16, 2010 ...and bring back my boat! We thought we'd torture ourselves with the five day starting 10/26 (well, getting off will be torture :p) and prime the boat for the Caribbean season. The crossing makes it real!

fpebbles Posted October 16, 2010 #8 Share Posted October 16, 2010 DJ... It was you I was thinking of when I noted "knowing" people on the boards. I saw you were in Disney and thought to myself, "Oh, I should tell her to say 'Hi,' to Heather," (she's one of the artists there and has done F&W and Flower and Garden posters). And then I remembered. I don't ACTUALLY know DJ. Your friend in virtual reality, fpebbles :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your friend in virtual reality, fpebbles :D I am quite honored and flattered to be one of the folks you "know" and your virtual friend fpebbles:D DJ's DH and I spent the entire four days we were in Disney at the Food and Wine Festival ... go figure! Actually we spent Friday with one of my good friends and her DH who live in Florida and who I met through another Board I frequent (disboards). We have "known" each other for almost 10 years but we have only seen each other in real life three or four times:p Then of course there is ctbjr ... That's a story best saved for telling in person:eek: Now to keep us on topic and keep us from being accused of hijacking this thread ... :p Looks like the SD1 crossers had an excellent first day at sea! I can't believe there weren't more people around the pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siouxrose Posted October 17, 2010 #10 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Thanks for posting the link. It's interesting to see who's on board. It looks like a whole new crew from the ones we had on SD1 last December. We will be on board SD1 in a few weeks, I am soooo looking forward to it!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vandrefalk Posted October 17, 2010 #11 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Thanks, CTBJR! I was waiting for this. I see Natalie, Maxi, Rose, Gary, Alex, Konrad, Brian, Pablo, Colin, Tomaz and Sean -- all of whom were on board in Sept. Looks funny to see Colin and others in warm jackets -- didn't need them when we were there! Looks like a good group -- can't wait til January!

whatnot Posted October 17, 2010 #12 Share Posted October 17, 2010 But remember, that's not the group you'll see in January! Maybe they'll be there in May. We need to check out the SDII crossing to see the January 7 possible crew. I also can hardly wait. Just love SD in the Caribbean! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the last thing I (and I'm sure others) need is to be without internet for 3 consecutive days. Let's hope we don't have that particular experience!

Everything looks good!! having lots of fun and good food !!! .. and good weather and smooth seas !!!:D it's heading this way for the winter !! Glad to hear its going well - do you know the reason for the 3 day disconnect? Since you were in port for part of that - was it a problem with the ship's equipment? This has not happened for more than a few hrs (hitting a dead spot where satellite can't connect) on any of our past voyages and I'm a bit nervous about this happing on the upcoming SD II crossing.

Archipelago Posted October 20, 2010 #24 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Oh sorry FT for the misunderstanding ..I'm not on the ship ..I was just commenting on the new posts on the blog and the guests having fun .. I see now where it was misleading :o I'm here at work where it is rainy and cool :( I will be on it this spring though !!:D Looking forward to all of your blogs on SD2 soon !!!:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoAnne B Posted October 20, 2010 #25 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Really folks, it wasn't so bad being in the middle of the Atlantic without the distraction of land communication. It's the catch up once we went back on line that was a pain! Seriously, it has been a wonderful, relaxing, fun crossing with ideal weather. Those of us from the board met up almost immediately after boarding. Funny, we were at the same hotel but didn't manage to get together until we were checking in. Can't say enough about the food, service, food, service, and whatever else makes a cruise great. The captain and staff made our anniversary celebration really special, starting with a renewal of vows in Funchal Bay and ending with a decorated suite and delicious cake by Garfield. Could not have been more wonderful. We already signed up for next year, although it means two segments, Malaga/Tenerife/San Juan. I think we can manage to suffer through the longer trip.
