Debbie; Our condolences on your loss, hugs & prayers for You and Family, hope to meet on another cruise.

Toni : I got your message through Rose, unless We find 2 more people it will be to expensive for the van. We are ok with going on the shuttle, after all it is the same tour only with a few other folks.

Hello Everyone! 5 days yahooooo!!!!! Temperature wise it sounds like it is going to be pleasant. We don't want it too hot anyhow, specially if doing a lot of walking. Maureen & I will start packing on Monday. We are gonig to be dropped off at the terminal on Thursday, leaving Our vehicle at Maureen's job ( to save the $200.00 for parking) Afterwards I have arranged for a cab to take Us back to get the vehicle. We rather use the money on the cruise. Mary Lou: Let Me know know one day next week to give You the shirts, I could even drop them of at your home if you like. E-mail Me and let Me know when it is convenient for You. Tony: You guys enjoy your day in NYC, Wicked is an awesome show my daughter saw it twice. Hey if you guys enjoy a good pizza, then try visiting John's Pizza directly accross the Amsterdam Theatre, The place used to be an old church, very neat place. Debbie & Rose: Have a safe flight and We will see You on board Thursday. PS. Thanks everyone for the Bon Boyages.

Mary Lou maybe We can meet You at the Wegmans food court this Thursday around 6:30pm and give the shirts to you, I can then take the bear and the magnets.

Hello Everyone! 10 Days YYeeeYYY!!! Howard: I've got a cruise t-shirt for you, and will like very much to send it to you with Our thanks for the cool design. Is there a way to get an address to send it to? If so please let me know, both Rose & Marylou have my e mail address where this information can be fowarded to. Debbie Have a safe drive, same goes for Rose have a good flight and we will see you all there soon. I am supposed to meet Mary Lou to give them their shirts and take possesion of the cruise maskot. We went out today to pick some final incidentals, and will start packing early next week.

Hello Everyone! Toni : Our Condolences, have a safe trip to your father in law's funeral, and come back for a great cruise. Rose: Hoping that you both had a wonderful Anniversary cruise. Mary Lou : Glad to see You're posting here, and good news about jim's tumor's shrinking, Hoping that Jim continues to improve ans We will see You guys Friday evening. 17 days to go.

Hello Everybody! Toni; We were there in June and a light jacket was needed. Definitelly We will pack some sweatshirt and maybe a sweater. Gloves and Hats I do not believe it will be that cold. I would pack for layers if needed. On board however will be nice and cofortable. We will see everyone soon.

Hello Everyone! T- Shirts are ready .

Good Evening Everyone! Deb; I am sure that we will all come out with great photos. I am bringing my entire photography kit, which includes 2 Nikon Digital SLR's and all the lenses I will need. I will be the guy with the backpack on the excursions.

Hello Everyone! Mary Lou glad to see you posting here. Yup! 30 days, I will also be taking lots of fotos, I also plan to make a book with my cruise photos, maybe I can get photo tips from Deb's hubby Zack. I am not a professional photographer, but I sometimes suprise myself with some of my shots. We are going to start going through our clothes and perhaps start packing. I requested laugage tags from Royal Caribbean yesterday. Still waiting on the shirts.

Hector I must have sent the the other copy I had. I changed it to read.......... Meet at Viking Crown Lounge Deck 14 after the lifeboat drill. The itinerary is subject to tweeks along the way of course. Just wanted to be sure! Thanks Rose

Hello everyone ! Rose I do not own a Tux, so I wear suits, Maureen wears a cocktail dress, and a gown. Your itenerary says on day 1 we are to meet on deck. I was under the impression that We were meeting at the Crown Lounge? Is that not correct. Also I stopped at the T- shirt store and I was told that the tank was finally in, He's going to fix the sample of the logo provided, the reds on the flags are too light, so He's going to correct that.

Rose! would you mind e mailing a copy of the itenerary? , Maureen will like to have it ahead of time. I believe you have my e-mail address. Thanks

Hello Everyone! Toni: My wife & I usually arrive at the terminal no later than 11:00AM, and this time will be no exception. I like to take my pictures while there is few people on board. We live about an hour and a half away from the terminal, so We will be leaving the house around 9:30 AM. Congrats on the Portofino reservation, unfortunately We could not get a group reservation. It does not look likely that there will be a pre-cruise dinner this time around. So our next meeting as a group will be on board at the Crown Lounge after the emergency muster. Rose should have some iteneraries for the group at that time, and I will of course distribute the t-shirts.

Hello Everyone! Rose: Are We even contemplating a pre-cruise dinner? I am not staying in a hotel for the night, so I have to plan for the 1 hour ride there.

Good morning Crazies! Mary Lou: It is great to see you post here, I hope Jim feels better. Of course, as soon as I receive them I will let You & Everyone know that they're ready. We could probably meet at the same location We met before and give You guys your shirts, And yes I will take Crazie Bear along I am sure those on the cruise will love to have their picture with the bear. Iknow what you going through and it is understandable. Yes don't forget the magnets for the door sign. The last cruise someone removed the sign from Our door. We are also got an extra shirt for Howard do We know how to get it to him? Everyone else will have to receive theirs when We get together at the Crown Lounge, I guess. 47 days!!!!!!!

Rose you are correct, other than the dinning rooms the only other eateries are the Windjammer and Johnny Rockets

Hello Everyone! Debbie: Your laugage tags should arrive with your documents from RCI through your T.A. So don't worry, You won't have to make your own. I called the T-shirt guy and was told that He was waiting on Toni's tank, that the shirts should be ready by Monday or Tuesday. Rose I am goin to check with Royal Caribbean about Chop's, if I am not mistaken there is one on the Navigator wich happens to be their sister ship.

Hello Everyone! Rose thank you for looking into Portofino's anyway. I had a thought, what about Chop's? Another question Rose, is the groups reservation for MTD taken care of? I tought it was, but I was not sure. Royal Caribbean keeps asking me to make that reservation. Toni any more questions You might have about Boston, don't hesitate to ask. Boston is an awesome town. I will be there on August 22 for a ball game at Fenway. We just love it there so any time We get a chance to go there, We do it. For anyone concerned when in Boston the way to get around is the T. We buy a 5 day Chaalie Caad ( Charlie Card in the rest of the US ) for $15.00, and it is good unlimited rides, on any train, bus or ferry. We are ok with a quiet day on the 21st as well.

Hello Rose! We are still interested in Portofino, count Us in. I am also going to have to make a call to the t-shirt guy. It has been a while.

Hello Toni! Hey FYI You do not to make a reservation to do the freedom trail in Boston. There are 2 ways of doing the trail, 1 there is the guided tour that departs from the visitor's center at the Boston Commons, or 2 You can go to the visitor's center on State St ( near Fanuel Hall) an get a map with the points of interest along the trail, and folloow the red bricks on the ground, they will take you to all the spots . Wear confortable shoes either way a lot of walking involved. The guided tour of course has a nominal fee and the guides wear cool period costumes. There I hope that helps, any other question on Boston (Go Sox!) let me know.

Good Morning Hector. I do remember you saying you were taking a cruiseline tour there. We choose not to do an excursion in Bar Harbour because that is a tender port. Just too hard to coordinate. The tour I was referring to in the previous post was for Portland. I am just checking to make sure everyone is still going. FYI Marylou's husband Jim is back in the hospital. Please say a prayer for both of them. In that case Rose, I was confused with the ports, You can count Us in that port. Sorry to hear about Jim & Mary Lou , of course We will keep them in Our prayers.
