09/13/09 SSMC09 S.S. Member Cruise 2009 - Part 2!

[BCVOwner2002]

I'm in "stack" overload and unable on Facebook. I guess I should've completed my information on the DIS! So if you responded, except Mary (WDWLVR). Unfortunately I can't read your comments. I guess I posted too much! Wait til I tell my son I've been blocked from Facebook.

Mary - Hope all went well today. I quickly browsed the posts so I am not sure if I overlooked a post from you. Only one treatment to go!!!!

Chris - I recall reading that your DH was packed and ready to go. Good for him! I was wondering....how are the girls handling your upcoming trip? At their age I am sure they are excited about having some time without the parents. Gives them a little bit of independence. I was thinking it would be nice to plan an adult trip. I did my first 'mom only' trip last September over the first weekend of the Food & Wine. That was a lot of fun. Very relaxing. Maybe a nice relaxing cruise one day might just be what I need. Ahhhhh. Maybe when the new ship comes out in 2011. I WILL be done my masters by then. At least I better be. If I am not done by that time then I will never get it.

Monika (& Flo) Thanks for the shipping details. That is very helpful in the event I decide to ship my things. I can not believe we are up to 37 cabins. Wow. We may need to bring 2 extra suitcases for the trip home.

We are just so excited and really looking forward to meeting everyone.

And, I have to confess. I did not do any work for my research paper this week. I was just too busy with work .... and trying to keep up with all the posts out here that I just did not do it. Maybe a little too burned out after last week. I will be paying the price over the next two weeks.

Have a good night and a GREAT Wednesday!! Stay cool and dry!!

Good morning everyone - happy Wednesday!

Sounds like a great way to celebrate! Congrats on 5 years of marriage.

Very strange. I know many of us post way more than you. Must be some settings on your computer. I don't think Facebook blocked you.

Thanks for asking Lisa. Yep I'm on round #11 with one more to go. Yesterday wasn't too bad but I was pretty beat. Unfortunately last night wasn't good at all. I was up most of the night and even got sick about 3 am. First time I've really gotten sick from the treatment. I do have pills I can take and will pack them to take to work to use if I feel like I'm getting stick again.

Does anyone have any thoughts on the dates for the 2010 Member Cruise?

I was looking at the 2010 dates listed for the 4 night cruises in September and October and I do not see any open dates where the SSMC10 would fit in.

I then looked at the 7 nights and (if I figured it out correctly) the Magic will not return until Oct 1 from the European tour. After that the next 7 night cruise is 10/16?

Not sure if they would need that time to maintenance the ship or if maybe just maybe there would be a 7 night for DVC.

Since this is my first cruise EVER I am not sure how the schedule usually works. I'm pretty sure that the Member Cruises have always been in Sept/Oct time frame.

Any thoughts, speculations??? Figured I would get some ideas flowing here.

10/1 - 10/16 sounds more like dry dock for the Magic. The last time they had dry dock was after they came back from the West Coast last year.

The very first Member Cruise was in February back in 2003. Since then it has been in the September/October time frame.

Lisa - Well, the girls are handling it ok. I guess. They are bummed that they are not going, but with this time of year and all they have going on in school, it is just not possible to take them out this time. And they understand that. I'm still debating on what to do with/for them while we are gone. My parents live right in front of us so they will be around to watch them. I was thinking of having my niece, who will be 18 on Sept 4th come over and stay with them too. Only thing is she has a boyfriend and they are together all the time and I don't want him over here all the time or, spending the night! Then I have my sister. She will do anything to not be at her house with her husband. He is a, not sure what you call him, but a real downer. So, I'm not quite sure what I'm doing yet.

My hardest problem is that I will be out of contact with them while on the cruise. So I hope I don't worry to bad about them. But I will. It's a me thing.

Chris,

It is a mom thing! I would be the same.

I am going to get the internet package so that I can keep in contact with my house. This way I can be in contact with my DS. I know he is older but this is the first time we are leaving him home. When we go on vacation he is usualy with us. I don't see him having any partys (I hope).

take care
flo

Thanks for the information.

I was on both the DCL site and the DIS site checking out dates and they both show a 9/12/10. I am not sure where you are seeing the missing 9/12 date.

Maybe the DCL site is not consistent in their information. I am in the cruises-destinations/bahamas/itineraries/4-night-bahamian-cruise. On that page I am looking at the Sail Dates tab.

But the 9/12 date would make sense as it corresponds to this years time frame.

Regards,
Lisa

I used both Book/Find a Cruise and the Cruise Search on the main page and neither show a 9/12/2010 sail date for the Wonder.

Happy Birthday Dustin!

Happy Birthday Michael!

Yeah, I don't think my girls will have any party's either. Now my niece and nephew, that is a different story! They are twins and double trouble! No, not really. They are good kids!
