momof4boys Posted November 14, 2005 #201 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Hey Rose. Eat PB and fat free jelly everyday (4 points on WW) and save your money so you can book the Conquest for July 2, 2006. We can celebrate our country and you and Stang's wonderful service to our country. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

my3kids Posted November 15, 2005 #203 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Sablerose - Wow - I have finally read your entire review.............I have enjoyed the whole thing!! I was sitting here giggling at the "Crazy Family" OMG!!!:eek: I am sure my co-workers and customers think I am on some sick website - or doing something really bad! The visuals that were running thru my head like a slideshow were incredible! You rock with your writing!:) I guess there is truth in 'Do good and it will come back to you'. Savor all those magic moments.........hey and keep it up in positive mind flow for the baby thing! If you ever need an ear about the fertility thing you can email me rkemp66@yahoo.com. I have been thru some of it. Anyway - I am so glad you had a fabbo trip - I have been reading the posts off and on about your adventure getting to where you finally went! Blessings in all forms!

nybumpkin Posted November 15, 2005 #204 Share Posted November 15, 2005 We ate our one and only Tortuga Rum Cake (4 oz) yesterday for dessert and now we're kicking ourselves that we didn't bring home 25 pounds of coffee and 100 rum cakes. Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I still have rum cake (holidays, you know - the date says it's good till the end of the month), but the coffee is going fast! We picked up a pound of Blue Mountain in Jamaica and a pound of Chiapas in Cozumel, and they're both great. I have a 1/2 pound of Blue Mountain to give BIL for Christmas (actually delivering it for Thanksgiving, since we'll be visiting him then) - but I've certainly been tempted to think up another gift and hold on to the coffee:D Guess we'll just have to go back and get more!

LRene Posted November 15, 2005 #205 Share Posted November 15, 2005 OK...coffee I totally understand but do people really EAT those nasty rum cakes? I can't ever make it past the first sample in the rum cake store and I'm not usually one to pass up cake on vacation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mysticks1 Posted November 15, 2005 #207 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Oh my gosh, we devoured our first little 4 ounce rum cake in a matter of minutes. We couldn't stop eating it. It was SO GOOD! On Sat night they had samples in the gift shop onboard!! I tried not to be conspicuous but tried each one several times. I really liked the cinnamon raisin. I really wanted to buy one but my budget wouldn't allow it. I do wish I had bought more coffee in Jamaica. I made my first pot on Sunday. I am also on the rum cake recipes. I love to bake as gifts for the holidays! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am also on the rum cake recipes. I love to bake as gifts for the holidays! When we were in Grand Cayman I saw the little cakes sold individually for $4.99. We got ours in Jamaica for $6.00. On the ship you had to either buy the bigger-size cake (for like $14) or a gift pack that had multiple cakes in it. So buying just the one (we bought a coffee-flavored one) worked out great for our budget. I just wish I had known we would like it so much! I think we're going to try to get a variety pack next time since they last a long time, then we can just try a little at a time and spread it out. heh.

finsgirl Posted November 16, 2005 #211 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Hey gang-coffeeforless.com sells the little rum cakes for $8 each. I know it's not nearly as much fun as buying them on vacation but it's the thought that counts. Crank up the heat to 80, put on some cruising music, pour a foo foo drink of choice and enjoy that rum cake! Rose, I loved the review. We took the kids on this cruise back in March-thank God for the military discount! We had an absolute ball and can't wait to go again some day. I'm also a sucker for those boys in uniform. I am the prould wife of the fire chief at the IL Air National Guard base here. We have F-16's (for now THANKS BRAC:() and the base is a 24/7 Guard base, not just weekenders. Kind of unique and hard to explain. I'm quite sure DH does not get to dance at work, what is Stang up to? It was 75 here last week (FLUKE!) and snow flurries tonight. I REALLY NEED ANOTHER CRUISE!!!!! I might have a rum cake somewhere......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
