SCIROCCO

Thanks shatje I do use them! :wink: Everyone has the same chance as us to earn their rewards! :grin:

I hear there was another try at Hijacking a cruise ship off of Somalias coast and they used a loud horn that was ear splitting and they outran them , the Coast Guard is there now with the request of the Government to help Patrol for Pirates! :wink: I just wonder if they will try in the Caribbean! :

I second that Howard! :wink: :grin:

Yes! But the wait for the snail mail every day with anticipation! and when they come WOW! :grin:

Now thats what I call a review Im tired from reading it! :grin: Thanks jacketwatch maybe when me and Annie Retire if we ever retire! :rolleyes:

Id Jump In and see what happens then! LOL! :grin: Of course if Annie was around shed handle it and Kill me! :shocked:

Hey Rosie I see your getting the hang of the Tickers and posting it :wink: Pretty soon you will be a Pro! and your Message Board will be full! :grin:

Well for me or Annie since we are both in Law Enforcement We have a duty to act in Life threatening situations :wink: But Ill try and answer to the best of my ability :wink: It depends on what is going on,if someones being frisky,a danger to themselves or someone else then on the two most dangerous things I would intervene until Security could be contacted and to get to the scene,on minor things if no one else is complaining then let the situation take care of itself, we are on Vacation not On Duty :wink: Just like when Im home and not working I let the Locals handle Minor things thats not a Danger to anyone else! :wink: On the Hot tub topic if I was around the Hot Tub or in it I would calmly say! Is there room for a Threesome! :grin: And I guarantee that they would probably skeedaddle back to their own Cabin!LOL! It sure would get their attention! HUH! :grin:

Curmar1 have a Great Cruise and post when you return! :wink:

Even if the penguins did bite, you'd be safe in the Arctic, penguins live in the Southern Hemisphere. :grin: I think I'd draw the line at swimming with the polar bears. :huh: Thanks jbond I heard someone say they were Manta Rays they swim with in the caymans and cozumel I guess thats not my Forte about the Mantas and stingrays! I guess with anything you just have to be cautious! :wink: And That sounds interesting about the diving part with them! :wink: You see Im not too old to learn new things thats what I like about this board and thanks for taking it easy on me! :wink: :grin:

No not really Joey :wink: they are pretty neat and look ok and are sturdy! :wink: I have to cut mine off when I get my disembarkation ones!

Thats why I do all my bookings myself,I can deal directly with the cruise line and the Hotel, I understand a lot of people prefer Ta's and thats allright too, I just like doing it myself :wink: I used a TA once and lost a cruise because of it and it took me 6 months to get my Money Back less fees! :rolleyes: I know theres good TA's out there but once you get burnt you dont put your hand back in the fire! :wink:

Me and Annie are also Platinum members, but we get on just as fast without using the Beneifits, because they have a lot of check in clerks at the terminal and it goes really fast! :wink: We check in around 11:30 AM at The Pier in Galveston on the Rhapsody Of The Seas! You cant get into your room until 1PM! So we go to the Pursers Office first and put our Money in our account :wink: we go up to the Buffet to get a Light Snack,come back to the Card room and play some cards and just wait for our room by then its only 15 minutes before we can dump everything,Grab a Drink of the Day and go to the drill around 4PM The ship doesnt leave until 5:15 PM! So we go to the Sail away party another Drink of our Choice and just enjoy! :wink: WOOHOO were on our way Now thats what Im Talking about! :grin:

Joey, If its RCCL they do mail the Luggage tags :wink: they are laminated with a sticky back and you curl them around your luggage handle and stick the sticky parts together it has all your info on them! :wink: They look like a Long Bookmark thats the size of them maybe a little wider and longer!

HMMM! Very Interesting, im going to havta check these guys out ! :wink:

HMMM Joey, We gonna have to surf Google arent we! :grin: I can just see a E-Tronic Doc dance with Lighting bolts coming out of your Backside!Now thats a real Doc Dance!LOL! :grin: :grin:

Dont people mostly swim with Manta Rays? They arent as dangerous as Stingrays, and Im sure any smart tour guide wouldnt put his clients swimming with the Stingrays when they can get Injured and he might be sued! :wink:

Joey! Looks like Shes headed for NC,GA, SC area and hit the Eastern edges Of Florida! As long as all of them get the heck out of my way when we go on our cruise Wilma got us last year and ruined our cruise! But that goes with cruising in Hurricane season :rolleyes: All of us October Cruisers better keep on the lookout when our cruises start to come around! :wink:

Glad to have you aboard jerbet! :wink: Pull up a chair and sit awhile! :wink: On your cruise have you checked the Roll Call Forums here and also at your Cruise Line Sites Roll Call Forums? Also you might Post this under the Cruise discussions Forum here about wanting to know about another couple good Luck and Post Often! :wink:

No Problem Tim I knew that from having to set all my watches and clocks and knowing what times tv shows are, Eastern or Central! :grin: You are right about this Board being the friendliest on the Net! :wink: I used to Browse on Cruise Critics and they are a Bunch of Sharks over there! :wink: Ive got pretty thick skin but that site is too rough for me! :rolleyes:

I guess some people hate them but they are a necessity to me and Annie because we Drive down to Galveston for our cruise,plus we need them for Emergencys in case something Happens on the way and while we are in Galveston Before our cruise! :wink: What I think is whats being said is the Rudeness of people that "CANT" or "Wont" turn them off on their cruise! :wink: Mine goes in the Safe when I get out in Territorial waters!And if I have to use it, I text Message because its cheaper than calling! :wink: That way you wont bother anyone with the talking part but your going to have People on cell phones no matter where you go! :rolleyes: Just like the dopes who dont use their turn signals :wink: But when Im at work I can put some red and blues in their mirrors and they still dont see me :rolleyes: thats where the Loud Siren comes in and then they dont hear me because of the Loud Boom Box going off! :rolleyes: So Cell Phones to me are just a Minor Inconveience! :grin: So anyone needing to use your Cell Phone "TEXT MESSAGE" or go to the "STERN" of the Ship or "BOW" and be considerate of each others Space! :wink:

The Dress up nights are called Formal Nights, you could wear a nice evening gown or a nice Pants suit depending on your dress style some people just wear jeans and a blouse! But it is Formal night so go for It! :wink: I wear a suit or tux and my wife wears a nice evening gown and matching slippers or heels! This is a good time to get those nice pictures you have always wanted,and make sure you take your camera and get some of your own taken together with your camera! :wink: Id like to welcome you aboard to the best site on the Web! :wink: Let me know what you decide! :wink: Hope this helps a little I had help from my DW on this one! :grin: The picture of me and my wife on my Avatar is Casual dress for us! :wink:

Tim! I beleive its board time! :wink: You set the box to your time zone and if your in Daylight saving time put a checkmark in the box where it says daylight savings time! Let me know if this works through a PM! :wink:

Like longboysfan and Keith and rita I keep the Daily News for each day and make notes on them this is the best way for me! Everyone has their best way of keeping records for themselves and what works for you is the best System because you are used to it! :wink: :grin: UH! HUH! UH! HUH! :grin:

Welcome aboard Joanne pull up a chair and sit awhile! Go to roll calls for your cruise date on the cruise lines website and see if they have a roll call forum yet! Happy Sailings! :wink:
