familyof4cruising Posted December 7, 2006 #451 Share Posted December 7, 2006 It is funny that we love cruising so much and enjoy NCL- that Colin is such a celebrity to us. When my family was on the Dawn this last time, I pointed to a picture of Colin on the wall to my DH, who thought I was crazy. It was funny because he had written and very nice reply to a question that I had asked him, and I thought he ( or someone) addressed it in a very timely manner with care - which gave me respect for NCL.

viva01 Posted December 7, 2006 #452 Share Posted December 7, 2006 lol. I've been reading SHOREGUYS blog, I do hope MONTE wins SOMETHING and I was once on an elevator with JOE NAMATH. Good Luck Everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjbdtz Posted December 7, 2006 #453 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Colin also replied very promptly and nicely to me, when I wrote to commend Claudio, and others from our Baltics cruise. He was personable, going so far as to mention that he had considered taking the same cruise we were taking in the Med. We've eaten at Le Bistro at the table next to the owner's family...on that same cruise. Maybe 10 of them together....but never had the privilege of eating with SG or MonteB. Still, I wish everyone here luck....O P R A H!!!! Where are you????????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lalapodip Posted December 8, 2006 #454 Share Posted December 8, 2006 The cool thing about having the "secret CC message" on the NCL site is that I don't forget to check it every day! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bennett'sCruise Posted December 8, 2006 #456 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Shoot...I just remembered this. I had dinner with Andy in the Teppanyaki on the Star's maiden voyage back in 2001. Not planned. They just happened to have a reservation for the same night as I did. :D LUCKY PUP!!! ANDY'S THE BEST!! Woooo Hoooooo .... I wanna cruise with some VIP's sometime .... :o ~d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bennett'sCruise Posted December 8, 2006 #457 Share Posted December 8, 2006 but never cruised with Shoreguy however I think he holds a special place in his heart for me. :eek: :D Not only have I NOT cruised with Shoreguy ... he thinks I'm a jinx and he won't go near a cruise that I've booked. Why would he say something like that? Just cause cruises I book keep getting cancelled ... whatEVER!;) I personally think it would be a BLAST to cruise with you Shoreguy!! Come on ... take a chance ... we're on the Dawn in October ... out of NYC ... right in your backyard! ~d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeystoneCruiser Posted December 8, 2006 #458 Share Posted December 8, 2006 I've never met Colin or anyone of the top NCL brass. I also have only met two famous people in my life. George Bush, Sr. when he was Vice-President (I got to shake his hand) and when I was on the college newspaper staff, I got to interview James Doohan (Scotty from Star Trek) who was a guest lecturer at the college. Let's try this name dropping: Colin, Shoreguy, Colin, Shoreguy, Monte, Shoreguy, Colin, Shoreguy - hey, why waste time with other words... and as Jan Brady said: "Its always Monte, Monte, Monte."

mbisson Posted December 8, 2006 #462 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Midnight eastern time & I've entered AGAIN (their system just opened up to allow entries so I'm one of the first). Held my tongue just right, clicked my heals, chanted, snuck up on the submit button, had only happy thoughts. But I'm worried...even though it said "Your name could be here" underneath it still had the previous days message I might be clicking the submit button wrong. Are they eliminating me before they even choose? LOL -Monte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbisson Posted December 8, 2006 #464 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Yes, and it's not nice to be telling me that I lost AGAIN even before they say who todays winner is. I think my entries are getting 86'ed before they choose! ;) LOL -Monte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyJewel92 Posted December 8, 2006 #465 Share Posted December 8, 2006 in the NCL Web-ster. I, too, entered shortly afer midnight ET and noticed no winner yet posted and no new "Monte" note. Just checked back, and as mentioned above --- still no new winner --- but a new Monte-ism. Very funny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotteryfan Posted December 8, 2006 #470 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Monte....with all this talk about you on this thread, I think the most obvious thought has escaped everyone.....Monte, why don't you make them a deal!!!! (Remember let's make a deal?...Monte Hall?) I'm going to try to change my luck and enter later today rather than now, like I do everyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macdays1 Posted December 8, 2006 #471 Share Posted December 8, 2006 This countdown is like a new addition to Christmas. The twelve days of Monte-isms! LOL...Don't give up, Monte, it's not over yet.

viva01 Posted December 8, 2006 #472 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Good Morning All! Well - 9 more chances. Hang in there Monte.....our friends at NCL are up to something. (but just in case i'm wrong anyone get a hold of OPRAH?) :p ~Val Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say, I am just loving this contest. To whoever is writing the Monte lines: you just crack me up! I find myself reading the daily Monte comment before checking to see if I won. --Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murrayhaven Posted December 8, 2006 #475 Share Posted December 8, 2006 I find myself waking up and immediately opening up this thread. My teenagers are starting to wonder what their mother is doing every morning (and just who is this Monte she's so interested in)! I'll never tell (wink).
