Okay, I did it ! Sorry, brneyzn, doulasue, Kristy, et al

[glrounds]

Wanted to do the Sensation with yah (yeah right http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif), but with all things considered am doing the PRIDE 5/2/04 (45 minutes to port). 7 days on the PRIDE for only $171 more than passage and airfare on the Sensation for 4 days.

Sooooooooooooo, you'll just have to wait yet again to meet one of the most intriguing guys on the cruise circuit. LOL http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

A problem that really bothers me, however, is should I not jump on the internet right away when I'm cruising Monday for fear of rubbing it into the Sensation cruisers or is it okay provided I tone down my, certainly, delightful account of the Spirit-class ships of Carnival?

What's a responsible cruiser supposed to do ? http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Gary, Gary, Gary, Jan was holding out hope that you would join us on Sensation... http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif But, we understand your predicament. Of COURSE we know you really, really wanted to cruise with us, and you are only going on the Pride to save airfare and all that....

Honestly, have a great cruise. http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

(ps - Kristi isn't sailing on Sensation, even though we tried and tried and tried to get her to book, she held her ground and was too strong for our mob tactics... for once.)

I'm so relieved, Sue. http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

I was so concerned that I would be scorned, rebuffed, and banished from any future participation in the groups adventures. http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif

You've put my mind at ease. Maybe I can make the MIRACLE with y'all (see I even have that southern thang down pat). http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

My..my giving up the chance to meet all of us crazies for a mere 171.00 more versus not knowing anyone on the PRIDE! It all came down to numbers huh. LOL http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif Well your loss!!! http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif However, Gary, I won't believe that you're not booked on the Sensation until I get on the ship! I know all about Scorpion devious tactics. http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Well, let's see:

The PRIDE will be in Puerto Vallarta Wednesday. I could call ahead and probably get a flight to Tampa, at least arriving early morn on Thursday....this is doable ! ! http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Would have to make arrangements for someone to apologize to all the ladies on the PRIDE for my quick exit, but I guess its certainly possible. http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Leave it to brneyz to suspect us devious, plotting and scheming Scorpios to pull something like this. http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

As I've often reminded her, most Scorpios are murdered ! There has got to be a reason for this! ! http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Gary I think you're going to be rather dissapointed. I read early this morning at an online cruise magazine that the National Football Players Association has chartered most of that ship. I doubt there will be many women there!

It strikes me as rather odd that brneyznfl would not post the website of this highly informative article. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif
Probably just overlooked it. BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

The true irony; what a treat; to cruise with the NFL. WOW ! ! On port visits I could take my old RAIDER jersey along and just mix in with the players as we swaggered triumphantly through the cobblestone streets. http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Of course, I'd have to tell everyone that looks at my 5'10" frame suspiciously, "I'm just a kicker". http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif
