OFF. CC 3rd ANNUAL SUPERBOWL/VALENTINE B2B 2/2 & 2/8 2014 ON THE FREEDOM REDUCED DEP.

[uffdafla]

Zipline was ok'd. We think that at Ocho Rios will do a Carnival sponsored excursion. This looked the best, "been to Dunn's before". They do have some taller mountains in Jamaica

[IslandToIsland]

Amy you can add us for the second week steakhouse.

[Elephant Man]

Also Helen and Tom for the Steakhouse Week 2.

[ernevete]

We wanted to book Alaska so something had to give. Like I told Amy we've been to 2 of the ports on the first leg and it's a shorter cruise so it got the boot.

Pregnancy, I remember those days, 3 of my kids were summer babies.....June, July, & August, must have been those long winter nights.

 

 

 

 

That's a great idea Lenore, remember how fun lunch was at Dukes! We plan to fly in the night before, probably SW out of Sacramento.

 

Yes Dukes so much fun We will be driving and we will also be there the night before we leave and have hotel reservation all set up thanks to Amy. It will be so much fun being together again Rita and Jay also arriving then--they are flying and have room at hotel too.:)

[ernevete]

Also Helen and Tom for the Steakhouse Week 2.

 

 

Also add Lenore and Ernie to week 2 steakhouse .. Will check with Rita and Jay to see if they want to go too, but for right now just us.:)

[Suziq333]

okay...where the heck is everyone????????

a whole week without a post!!!

Well I am happy to say that some very good friends of ours have booked week 2 and Bruce and I couldn't be happier :D They even got the cabin 2 doors down from us, so we are sandwiching Amy and Austin ;)

ow to get my sis, my cousin, Barb and Judy and some other friends to book and we will be rocking that ship with laughter !!!!!

So we are going to need some cabins for the cabin/poker crawl...Bruce and I will offer ours, probably as the last since we are beside Amy...

So excited for this cruise, seeing family and old friends again :)

Yes Howard I thought it would be nice if the B2B'ers all met to come off and back on.

 

We would love it if you guys do join us at Coconut Beach Club.... and ya already know what you are in for with some of us;)

[cruisingcouple2008]

Coconut Beach club just wrote back to me again and they may not be possible for us because they only have room for 8. If our interest grows past that we will have to go somewhere else. I will start looking and offer another option.

Howard we are going to have to head to another resort because they can only take 8 people. You know that just wont work with our group.

 

Now looking at the Grand Pineapple Resort http://www.grandpineapple.com/resorts/grand-pineapple-antigua/day-pass/

 

 

I have not emailed them yet but want opinions, they say its about 30 minutes from ship. Im ok with that and think it looks very nice what do others think.

[Suziq333]

Looks like if you don't drink beer(that's me) you cannot get a drink after 1:30....maybe I read it wrong, but cocktails and beer are from 10 - 1:30 ...beer and sodas from 12- 5 :eek:

[uffdafla]

I was going to rent a bike in key west and tour our self. may see other sites than what the excursion has scheduled. I found a review that was from last fall for our itinerary, they had done all the major stops as well as venturing to the state park.

Any fishermen planning deep sea charters? week two. I have had good catches in St. Maartin, looking near Tortola.
