DarryDFL Posted November 22, 2010 #102 Share Posted November 22, 2010 I've posted photos of the Crazies' Meet & Mingle and other photos on my website under "Carnival Dream..." at http://DarryD.com/CC . There are NO ads on my website. IF you have friends who travel (1) without travel insurance or (2) with only an ID & birth certificate, be sure to read the "Travel Insurance" on that website. Our in-laws, Rich & Cristal, would have been "without a paddle" had they not had both. We had a great time, met a lot of strangely wonderful new friends, and can't wait for the next cruise.

cruskitten Posted November 22, 2010 #105 Share Posted November 22, 2010 The toga party incident.... for some time now in the thread we have been batting around the toga party and had narrowed down when we planned to have it and where (Nassau day after late dinner in the piano bar). Well due to some shenanigans that my doppelganger Bob Anderson had written with some of the lovely ladies of the Crazie Dreamers forum I somehow was in danger....danger of being jumped and forcefully dressed in a toga. I had only caught the occasional hint of this master plot to surprise me with duct tape (pink in color no less) and a toga sheet, and further toga party adornments. I brushed all these idol threat off as harmless posturing... Boy was I wrong! On the night in question I entered the Piano bar none the wiser to the sinister plot that was afoot. Now I noticed several exchanged glances as the ring leader gave the nod, with a whisper the plan sprang into action. A bed sheet appeared from nowhere and I was being flanked from all sides by duct tape crazed women in toga outfits.!!!! Gentlemen, the fear and horror I felt was unimaginable, what pain and suffering was I to endure? Just what did these crazed women with duct tape have in mind? I stood my ground and fought off the urge to scream like a 5 year old girl. Well I actually just sat there and kept saying ..ummm what are you all doing... But I assure you that the pain and mental anguish was real, I was in fear for my life....we at least in fear of exactly where they planned to put that duct tape! From here on out it becomes a blur, I remember being bound and wrapped like a hastily wrapped present for the duct tape toga women's amusement. My camera has some photographic evidence of the occurrence, my my mind has rightfully blocked out the incident so as not to have me relive the horror over and over. I only share the following pictures with you in hopes that you remain aware. The toga women of duct tape can and do attack with little to no provocation. Be afraid be very afraid! and that that dag gun Peter just had to get in on the photo too! Such a camera Hog! Remember folks remain alert, the are out there! I want to thank the aforementioned duct tape wielding women of the toga incident for making this quite an interesting evening, you all are truly Crazie! I wonder if penthouse might be interested in a slightly different take on this story hmmmm.....with some poetic license and some much needed hyperbole hmmmmmm Ward, did you notice that the harem of CRAZIES duct tape women were all blonde? Great photo of Tammy! And, I have to admit that BOB looks like he is really enjoying being taped up....hmmmmm....memories??? Trudy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarryDFL Posted November 22, 2010 #108 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Ugh who took the weekend, bring it back right now:rolleyes: Continuing with our first sea day tonight!!!:D Our "Dream Journal" ( http://DarryD.com/CC ) might be of benefit to you. There are plenty of places on that ship to get away - most notably the library (Page Turner, deck 4) and the deck outside the Pasta (deck 11, above The Gathering) - and places to gather. The Piano Bar is a great place to gather during the day, and an even better place for quiet conversion at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarryDFL Posted November 22, 2010 #109 Share Posted November 22, 2010 First things first, it's amazing when you get us all together in one room, we're quite the crowd...it was so much fun!!! This was my first chance to really meet Peter, so y'all get to meet him now too...actually, his name is Peter Less:p and he is the companion to one of our Dreamers Janet, who told us all about his adventures on our thread pre-cruise, and promised to bring him along to meet the Scots and sail with us...Peter was quite famous by the time we returned and you will have many more sightings as we go through the week, lmao... C'mon you guys, time for more pics!! May I add your photos to the slideshow we're sharing with the other cruisers at http://DarryD.com/CC ?

DarryDFL Posted November 22, 2010 #110 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Well the paid cocktail party was so much fun.

Darry, Thank you for asking first, however given the potentially embarrassing nature of the photos I would rather limit the places where they are posted. Plus I dont know how everyone else in the photos feel about having there picture reproduced in multiple places. At this time I would prefer that you dont copy the photos. Any scenery or sunset pictures you see of mine you are more than welcome to copy those. Thank you, Ward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to agree...especially re: the toga party. They really are innocent and harmless pictures but its best to also consider the more professional side of our lives. The less places the pictures turn up, the easier it is to monitor who can and can't find them. Just saying. :o) its sometimes hard to gauge what is ok and what is not. Until this trip I rarely if ever allowed pictures of bennett on the web. But I also know that if someone took pictures of me, I wanna see them! Lol hard to gauge. :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Others in the office would print it out and I might have to suffer some minor ribbing. but no big deal. However if a potential employer saw that... well it might be taken out of context and etc etc etc.... safer than sorry you know :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

floatingaway2525 Posted November 23, 2010 Author #121 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Are the boards reeeeealy slow now or is it my *^%#%& laptop again??? I hit submit and then I wait, and wait, and wait...I suk at waiting!! Forgot a couple tidbits about our Nassau day...and now that a surprise has been delivered I can post a few more pics and some background from our first cocktail party... What happened was, Mach and Stitch couldn't physically sail with us :( so we added two spirits to our roll call and wanted to make sure they were too there! One of the best ideas ever was Ward's, getting our group t-shirts and all the Crazies signing them so we could send some surprises after the sail...we had SO much fun getting them signed, starting at the cocktail party... Happily, my chief co-schemer advised that the package is received so the pics can go up...That was just the beginning of the fun, more to follow later in the sail... Now about Nassau and the seas....Right after we boarded from Nassau, we heard the coves were closed:eek::confused: maybe Ward/Bob can confirm, I forgot to...when we asked why (this was on Lido aft for sailaway) we were told that after we left Nassau, we would be crossing through what tail remained from Tomas and we would have some seas...sure wish Mama hadn't been there for that conversation...lol! As it turned out, they weren't kidding, and we had the funniest time in the disco ever!!! Cupid (to the right to the right...) turned into to the riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight!!! I also learned that it's true what you hear about the aft end and your bed movement...:p I LOVED IT!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

floatingaway2525 Posted November 23, 2010 Author #123 Share Posted November 23, 2010 I love love love sea days, really I do...I don't have much to report on this one because I spent most of it on that glorious balcony contemplating this... It don't get any better than that!!!:) Of course, I managed to get out and walk around, eat, visit some favorite spots from my last time on Dream, eat, nap, eat, well....you get the gist:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also learned that it's true what you hear about the aft end and your bed movement...:p I LOVED IT!!! Getting the tshirts was just may way of saying we miss you. Then it dawned on me that everyone could express themselves by signing them. The hardest part was keeping my trap shut about them, before and after they were signed! Enjoy them you two! Yes the Cove balconies were closed up Nassau morning are reopened the next morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floatingaway2525 Posted November 23, 2010 Author #125 Share Posted November 23, 2010 This was my fourth time back to St T...it's the prettiest harbor when you sail inm that unfolds as you make the entry and the little turn....on my second time there, a tradition was born...meeting on the bow for a mimosa toast for sail-in...it went right on our agenda for this trip too!! Our arrival was 10am this time so we met about 9 to watch the approach from Lido forward, it's a great bow deck!! We could see the harbor entry coming into view... CHEERS to our arrival!! Good times good times... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
