Royal Hounds 2005 Caribbean Princess 9/17/2005 ~ Join Us!!! Official Cc Group Cruise

[angel dog]

Hi All!!!

 

Another Hound checking in...I didn't even know we had a roll call going. It is a beautiful day here in the Chicagoland area.

 

Have a good one!

Or as we fondly call it at my house: A-Hole. How they stay in business is beyond me (without my DW and her IM chat folks I would probably bolt in a minute).

 

Yes, this will be an interesting trip. Hope to see many of you aboard Mariner this September for my son's cruise, and the rest (almost) exactly a year later when we (DW and myself) get to try out this great ship.

 

I can already picture myself at the "Movies Under the Stars". As much as we enjoy the sun and pool time, a night cruising in the Caribbean with the breeze blowing in the air is just the ticket.

 

Some of my fondest memories as a kid (dating myself now) were those drive-in movies with blankets, sleeping bags and picnic lunches. A dusk to dawn with the classic "King Kong Vs. Robot King Kong" playing at 4 AM. :rolleyes:

 

Nothing like it...:cool:

Good afternoon Hounds from Sunny South Texas - I love weekends!

 

I'm looking forward to the movies under the stars too! It seems to be very popular from reading the boards. We will be on the Grand 11/8 and have heard they might install the movie screen while it is in drydock the week before. That would be so cool!

There are only two kinds of people: Those who ARE Hounds and those who WANT TO BE Hounds!

I love that quote - right on the button. :D Hey Hounds, hope all of you have a wonderful weekend. It's beautiful here in Detroit, low 70s and lots of sun.

Happy Sunday hounds. I hope everyone has a great day. :)

[Little Red]

Hi everyone! :D

[Therapst]

Anyone want to guess how many pages this thread will be by the time we set sail in September 2005? :eek:

 

Have a great day!

[angel dog]

Hi everyone! A lazy Sunday afternoon here - unfortunately it's back to work tomorrow:( - But we have to work to pay for our cruising addiction:)

 

Randy - # of pages by next Sept.? Can the boads count that high? It will be a lot of posts over the next 15 months for sure.

Kathy

[LadySpoilt]

I can finally be added to the list!!!! This will be my first time on Princess, after sailing almost exclusively on Carnival for the past 10 years (one jump over to RCL during that time).

I'll also be on the Mariner with many of you all this September (which right now CANNOT COME SOON ENOUGH. An then again with several of you in February on the Miracle. But I guess I'd best concentrate on one at a time....so "see you in September"!

Sandra

I wonder if I might politely add just one word to this thread.....

 

 

 

Howwllllll!!!

 

 

Thank you.

Randy

[Little Red]

Randy that was VERY polite! ;) Hi everyone.

[mjbelen]

Good morning everyone. Can you believe its's Monday already. :confused:

Thank goodness that there are cruises I can look forward to, to help get me over the Monday Blues. :D

Too much to do-too little time.

Have a good one everyone. :rolleyes:

Good morning everyone. Hope you all have a great Monday.

I don't have a job anymore so I don't have to go into work but we are leaving Sat afternoon to spend a week on the beach (with no computer:eek: ) and I have alot of stuff to do for that. When I get back I guess I'll start thinking about a job. Maybe.

Have a cruising day

Lisa :cool:

[Mamatoots]

Happy Monday everyone. It's a nice day today here in southern NJ, perfect cruising weather. Gosh, I can't seem to think about anything but cruising. No matter what subject I'm discussing, the bottom line always comes down to cruising. Oh, well! I guess I'm addicted. :D :D :D

 

HOWWWLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

I'm back!! Did you guys miss me?? :rolleyes: hee hee! Just in case you hadn't noticed that I was even gone, I went to Vegas for the weekend. I am thrilled to announce that Sunday morning, only hours away from going to the airport and ending the trip, I won a $1,175 jackpot on a quarter video keno machine!! Man, you should have heard me HOWL!!!! :D :D :D What a thrill!! That's 8 of 9 for anybody that knows keno, one ONE quarter in! :) I had about 70 invested in the machine and when I hit the big one, I still had 300 credits ($75) on the machine so I got my original money back too! I was feeling so "rich" I decided to upgrade to first class coming home! Man, was that N-I-C-E!!!

Anyway, hope you all had a great weekend as well. Welcome to the new and returning Hounds! Sandra, I didn't realize you had decided to book this one too! That's soooo cool!!! Can't wait to meet you this Fall!!!

[TBRay]

PAMMY: What a great present. My only decent hit was getting $80 at one of the (LV) airport bandit machines while waiting for my flight home. It actually paid for my airport parking fee and got us a nice lunch.

Who knows. It might fund your next cruise "slush fund".

Welcome back.:cool:

[Therapst]

Way to go, Pammy. And really, I think your offer to distribute the winnings among the Royal Hounds group is SO kind! :D

HOWWWWLLLLLL!

[PammyHound]

Well at the rate this groups is going it will probably work out to about $2 bucks a person by cruise time! :p So.... I better just keep it all to myself ;)

[mumsyo]

This cruise is going to be such [size=3][color=red]FUN[size=2][color=black]!!!! [/color][/size][/color][/size]


I, too, just returned from Vegas. And, yes, you could hear Pam all over the casino when she won!!!:D

For those of you who have never sailed on Princess before, you are in for a treat!!

Marilyn

[angel dog]

Pam, congratulations on your winnings!!! What a nice treat, I am sure it will come in handy on your up coming cruise.

[COLOR=Teal][SIZE=6]WTG, Pam. :D :D [/SIZE][/COLOR] [COLOR=Purple]Don't ya just love to hear the bells and music coming from the machine, especially if it's coming from your machine? Which casino did you hit at?

[PammyHound]

I hit my big jackpot at Fitzgeralds (downtown). It's funny too because I never play there! Ya know how your get your favorite spots and thats pretty much where you go? Well Fitzgeralds isn't one of them and I havent' played there in forever but that's where Terri's daughter wanted to go Friday night when we got there. I played Friday for a bit and did fairly well so was eager to go back. I went to bed early on Saturday night and was up by 5:30 Sunday morning. I just love that time of day. I hate the busy evenings and would just assune hang out in my room then fight the crowds in the casino. Nothing better than Vegas at 5:30am! It's cool out, hardly any people around. And the cocktail waitresses only have you to wait on! LOL

Marilyns right, I let out a pretty big "I GOT IT" when I won!:D Several! :)
