Welcome home, Everyone, for those of you already home!!! Was this the best cruise EVER or what???!!! The reason for that is without a doubt, THE PEOPLE. I don't even know where to start.
Well, I will start by saying that it was a pleasure to meet everyone. Everyone was every bit as warm, friendly and welcoming in person as they were on this thread. I always said we had a great group. Boy, what an understatement!!! Because of each and every one of you, you made this the best vacation Eric and I have ever had. Thank you.
Now, for some personal thank yous. First, Kevin, thank you for having my back on the board and for setting up our yahoo site. It was a pleasure to finally meet you and your lovely bride, Nancy.
Next, Paul, what a wonderful job you did setting up our cabin tour. Thank you. Because of the tour, Eric and I have changed the type of cabin that we usually get. Now, instead of the verandah, we will go with the Navigator verandah. I loved that and would not have known what it was like without this tour. Thank you again.
Dave, it was nice to meet you and Sue. Thanks for being our "photographer" on board ship. I hope that you enjoyed your WDW stay as well.
Angel and Robin we actually had the pleasure of meeting at Magic Kingdom a couple days before the cruise. Talk about "it's a small world after all"!! Thank you, Angel and Robin ,for all of your helpful hints and tips. They really came in handy!
Sandy, I don't recall seeing you on the ship at all, so I am glad that we were able to meet you at the Cape May Cafe at the Beach Club resort right before the cruise. Your girls are adorable. And tell Natalie, thank you again for our cruise logo.
I hope that you all were able to see our newlyweds Nathalie and Simon. I was able to get a few shots of them after their wedding. What a extremely beautiful bride you made, Nathalie.
Alisia, what can I say? You, Alan and Richard really provided Eric and I with some very special magical moments. My gratitude for your generosity and hospitality can't be express in these few words. Thank you so much. I am so looking forward to our getting together, be it Disneyland, Disney World, Disney Cruise Line, or where ever. I am glad that you all live in California so that we can further our friendship. I will pass your kind words on to Eric. I know that he enjoyed showing Richard the "underworld".
Sherry, how do I say thank you to you? Thank you for taking the initiative to introduce yourself 2 years ago and to discover that we are neighbors living only a few minutes away from each other? It was so much fun preparing for this trip with you. Sherry, you have been like a long-lost sister and I am looking forward to our continuing and growing friendship. It was wonderful spending the cruise with you and your wonderful family. Eric will spend a couple of months putting together those puzzles. Hugs and kisses to Galen and your Little Ladies, Allie, Makenzie, and Melody.
And, Sherry, because of you, we had the pleasure of spending the cruise with two more wonderful families. Shannon and Matt, you both are great. And, you dont know how close you came to my stealing your adorable little Brandon. I am still in awe to how sweet and adorable that little boy is. You may see me in Seattle soon!!! And, Jackie, my soul-mate, it really did make my cruise meeting you and Stephen, your daughter Taylor and niece Aleece. Breakfast yesterday was so sad. We really hated saying goodbye to all of you. I am so looking forward to our next cruise.
Finally, Id like to say a warm thank you to Wendy and Ken, Shari, Crystal and Bob, Eileen and Bob, Kim and Jody, both Phils, Heather and Robert, Strawberry Brenda, Jan and Carla, Lois and Janet, Sue and John, Cheryl and John and everyone from my FE Group. It was a pleasure to see you around the ship.
I know that I have missed some folks and I do apologize for that. But know that I had a wonderful cruise and I did so enjoy meeting each and every one of you.
I am so going to try to have a reunion cruise with all of you. Because on this cruise, I feel that I have made some new friends. I hope that we can make it work.
Again, WELCOME HOME, TO ALL!!! And for those of you still traveling, we hope that you have a safe trip home.
I understand your excitement Alisia. We passed by one in the airport yesterday - that was enough for me .
Sorry, we didn't make it back to see the Roy suite. It was the cruise that just wasn't meant to be for us - still okay just not what we had planned. I ended up with a brutal chest cold and most nights we didn't get much sleep due to me coughing. Made it home early this morning our time (3am Orlando time) and hopefully all will be well soon.
Hello everyone,
Well we're home and it's cloudy and about 45 deg. I think part of me is still on the ship, all last night as I laid in bed it felt like the room was rocking.
For those of you I didn't tell I had another WOW!!! from DCL. Those wonderful airlines broke the zipper on my luggage. To think I have to pay $25.00 for them to do this. Sunday morning I went up to Guest Service to ask if they had some duct tape I could use at the end of the cruise. (I didn't want my clothes scattered from the Disney Magic to Cleveland) They told me to bring my luggage down to them and they would fix it NO CHARGE. If they couldn't fix it they would GIVE me new luggage. They did fix it.
Now is the not fun of unpacking everything It's a lot more to unpack on the ship.
My next cruise will be on the Fantacy in 2012. So far it's the last week in Aug. eastern. I my change it to the end of Sept. still the eastern.
I would like to thank everyone who "opened" their stateroom for the tour, and a special thank-you to Kevin and Brenda for helping me with the tour.
Thanks for a great cruise!!
Paul

Welcome Home Guys - I am booked on an Eastern Cruise in January and my ability to book Palo and Excursions start tomorrow.
Quick Questions:
1. did anyone bring back Navigators that can be scanned?
2. Did anyone do the Doubloon Excursion in St Thomas - was it any good? What time did it leave?
3. Anyone know what the Dinner rotation options are this year? I need to figure out the best night for Palo
thanks for all your help
