We're 'Dancin' in the Street'....

[Robin7]

...er...well, at least in the kitchen anyway. We just returned this morning from our business trip to the Big Island, Hawaii, and our cruise documents for our July 28th Alaska cruise onboard the Zaandam (also business related) were waiting for us in our kitchen. WAHOO! :D

 

Our cabin assignment was on the documents, and I'm pleased to report the Upgrade Fairy is alive and well. We booked an E and were assigned a D, completely skipping DD and DA. Verrrrrrrrry nice. Thank you, Upgrade Fairy!

 

Having just spent a week at our first land-based resort, we've come to a new appreciation for cruising. We HATE having to decide where to eat! We love just going to the dining room. So dinnertime comes around in Hawaii and our conversation goes something like this:

 

"Where do you want to eat?"

 

"I dunno. Where do you want to eat?"

 

"I dunno. I don't want Italian."

 

"Okay. I don't want Chinese."

 

"The steakhouse the other night wasn't really that great."

 

"How about Subway????"

 

No kidding. More often than not we ended up at some bad (but cheap!) fast food establishment OFF the resort. Or having peanut butter on crackers and baby carrots. We LOVE cruising even more now!!!! (Then again, maybe we're just weird. A total possiblity.)

Good for you! Now if I could just figure out how to take a business-related cruise!

Are you an accountant or Enrolled Agent? This is the cruise we're doing:

http://www.taxspeaker.com/alaska_cruise.asp My husband is one of the technology speakers. There are about 25 attendees at this time, and I know the fellow organizing it would love more!:D

Robin;

 

I'm on your cruise with you, and while I am an accountant, I think I'll pass on the seminar :). I am noticing also that there is a spiritual seminar onboard of some type; maybe that is why we get nothing on the roll call board. Between them and your seminar, I'm betting it's taking up at least half the ship.

 

I am looking sooooo forward to this trip.

Where did you find the information about the spiritual seminar? Interesting.

 

I'm looking forward to it, too! I love cruising and Alaska is so beautiful. I'm currently looking at buying a new lens for my camera as I'd like to take some really good pictures.

There is a thread somewhere on here with what groups are on what ships, and I've been looking for 1/2 hour and can't find it. I will let you know if I can locate it.

www.geocities.com/cruise_trubey/ one of our fellow CC'ers has this webpage that shows what groups are on cruises. hope Trubey doesn't mind that I posted this.

Thanks Buckett; that's what I was looking for.

 

 

 

Robin, http://www.inspirationcruises.com has a gathering on our ship. I am wondering how big this group is; maybe they don't troll the boards and that's why we have such a small Roll Call.
