We booked this cuise last week on the Magic. Has anyone else booked yet? We had a great Dismeet group on our Magic cruise & would love to make more new friends on our Wonder Alaska cruise. We will be celebrating our
35th wedding anniversary.

My DH & I ( Alex & Angela ) from Vancouver, Canada will be celebrating our 7th wedding anniversary.

We're in Cat 11B.


Cruisingly Yours

Angela,it's good to hear from you. We had a great group meet on our last cruise. This thread will probably start off slow, but it will build as the time passes. Have a great day.

Hi Fireplug
We definaltely will have to do a shirt trade on the ship.. I just called the union hall today to buy some more shirts..LOL Looking forward to a meet and greet also. As we move forward maybe we have someone who has a concierge room and we can have the meets in there? James-ffhawg

 

[fireplug]

Sounds like a plan!

HI Cool on the room number.. Party(maybe) 2xl and let me know what size you want..I will take a picture and post soon of the shirt.. Not many brush fires in St. Pete but the north and east of Pinelas County are rich in them..

 

[fireplug]

I wear a 2xl also! We are planning a trip to California for Oct of this year but I will check in here as I find time!
I will also post a link, if you want, to watch our Squengine being built. Ferarra does a great job of taking pics of progress. It will go on the line 4/5/10 and has an expected delivery date of early to mid July!
