10/22/11 Parley!! Will this get me on the ship any faster?

[runskyhy]

I think I'll try both recipes and have a Bushwacker taste-off. It may take me 3 or 4 of each to decide

Now that the suspence has killed you all day. Silly me for waiting so long.

It's that time. It's here. We have finally made it to single digits.

We have only

More FRIDAY'S until we go on our cruise.



I wonder how many of you are packed or mostly packed already.

Whoooo hoooooo on the countdown. I haven't got a thing packed though.

63 days ... I love the way it sounds!

Me too!

we never unpacked from our july WDW trip so we're nearly ready to go.

So, is that planning ahead or extreme laziness?!

 

[RobbW]

Anyone know if there is an online listing somewhere of the karaoke songs they usually have on the ships? I have an urge to do something that seems rather unlikely and totally 180 degrees opposite my personality on this cruise!!!

planning ahead on Robins part...laziness on mine.

? Can't wait for this one!

I hope the suitcase was full of CLEAN clothes I wish I had a spare bedroom to lay out our suitcases to start throwing some stuff into them. I wonder if one of the kids will give up their bed for the next two months?

 

[RobbW]

Yep, should be quite hilarious! I've never done karaoke before.

I don't know of an online list, but I seem to remember the range being pretty broad.

Ewww! Must smell pretty ripe by now.

 

[RobbW]

I'm not quite sure how to ask this question, but I'll try anyway. For those who have performed karaoke on the ships, or merely been a spectator, do the performers tend to be karaoke regulars who have at least a smattering of talent? Or is the karaoke scene usually an accommodating, encouraging bunch where even the talentless majority feels comfortable enough to get up on stage and belt out an off-key song or two?

I've never been to a karaoke bar/room before except one time on a previous cruise, and only long enough to provide encouragement for a friend who was brave enough to get up and perform a song. So, I truly have no experience with this. I'm trying to find out if the karaoke scene is kind of "cliquey" where only regulars who have some talent are the ones who get up and perform while everyone else is silently discouraged from getting on stage. Or is it pretty loose and everyone is encouraged to get up and give it a shot? And everyone is celebrated for trying whether or not they are any good?

The last thing I'd want to have happen is to work up the courage to finally get up on stage and try my best only to find out after the fact that most of the crowd was thinking, "What is wrong with this person? Do they not know how this works? If they can't sing they should just sit and watch. Gawd, I hate newbies!!!"

BTW, exactly two months until we "Sail away. Sail away. Sail away."

I have no talent but I am known to rock the microphone!!

I know I am not good but do have a ton of fun getting crazy.
My family loves to shut down the karaoke bar.

So, this bra dance. Was that just you getting goofy at the bar following a few too many refreshments? Or was that one of those adult scavenger hunt type events they have on most cruises? My wife really wants to go watch one of those events again. She fell over laughing the last time she saw one on an RC cruise.
