Re: Give Me Liberty or Give Me the Big Cats 9/15/07 (or Give Me Both!)
Hey y'all,
A funny thing happened yesterday. For the last couple of weeks we have been contemplating a land vacation for Arrielle this summer, being that we aren't taking her on the cruise. After pricing many of the options out that we considered, we came to the stark realization of just how economical a cruise really is. I called Lori yesterday and got pricing on two four day sailings out of L.A. Needless to say the cruise came out much cheaper than a land option. So, as of last night, we are officially booked on the May 28th Monarch of the Seas sailing
Arrielle waisted no time when posed with the choice of the two options...she leaped at the cruise! Never heard a 10-year old turn down Disney for a cruise. This is the first time since 97 we did two cruises in one year. But then again, I guess you could say we are doing 3 cruises in 11 mos.
The Monarch is a pretty old ship and a little bigger than the Paradise, our other choice. I haven't done much research on the ship, but Lori's assistant gave it good marks. While I haven't looked, I'm assuming the Monarch has probably been in dry dock a few times just based on her age.
Cris, my little sister shares your passion for making specialty cakes. She took some courses several years ago and has been making specialty cakes for all occassions since. I'd hate to see the two of you in the same kitchen at the same time. Any news on how the surgery went?
Ahh, Sheree, what is 160,000 GRT?
Didn't Barb and Greg book while they were on the Mariner? I seem to recall they got some perks from RCCL for doing so...does anyone remember?
