Default Bein' CRAZIE live on board the Carnival Conquest!!!!!

OK… so we’re at sea and that’s VERY fortunate ‘cause some laws don’t apply out here.

Suffice it to say that the Committed Conquest Crazies are livin’ up to our name.

Now, no one has misbehaved (that I’m aware of….) but we’ve had a brilliant time! Folks began talking about us at the Hilton the night before the cruise! Once on board word of the Crazies spread like wild fire.

It’s been amazing. People have walked up to me, introduced themselves and knew who I was, expressed how happy they were to meet me how much fun they’ve had reading our epic thread. But it’s not just me. Cruisers have recognized Stitch, Lambie, Chiefie, and so many others. No fib, the first Carnival team member I met on board, Annie, recognized me and asked where Lambie was. Stunning!!!

So, after a perfectly wonderful dinner (the flat iron steak was GREAT…) about 100 Crazies gathered in the Toulouse Lautrec Lounge for the Welcome Aboard show. It was there that we learned that the Crazies were officially part of the Colors Competition. We became the Green Team and we started represented ourselves brilliantly. Chiefie, Janey, KK, Eliska, and Woody were brought up on stage for a competition. They were fantastic!!! Lambie did a tremendous job of explaining to the audience just what and who we are.

Twenty minutes of laugh out loud fun and silliness ensued. Our kids won the competition and each of the Crazies on stage won a bottle of champagne. I’m sure they’ve already put it to good use.

The Welcome Aboard Show has been running on the TV AND the Sea Side Theater all morning.

The Carnival folks have been wonderful to us. Kyle, our cruise director, was very complimentary of our past cruisers that he’s met at our Meet & Mingles.

Today is the Cabin Crawl, our Meet & Mingle and our first Elegant Evening. I don’t have a doubt that it’s all going to be great. When you have hundreds of Crazies together is has to be the best.

I’m going to dump some pics onto my laptop and I’ll be adding some of them as thumbnails later today.

After 22 months we are together. After 22 months, after death taking some, after the joy of weddings, after the pain of divorce, after celebrating members joining the military and dozens of other life changing events the Crazies are together. Tears, cheers, laughter and utter silliness have rolled over the Crazies like a tsunami.

I’ll do my best to keep y’all apprized of the Craziness!

Wish y’all could be sharing this with us.

See y’all later!!!

Host Mach, could you or Lambie please explain here on CC what and who the Crazies are? I may be in the minority here as a latecomer. When I first came to the Carnival CC board, I noticed all the threads for cruises for the "Crazies" and just thought it was a name given for a group cruise. It seems there is more than that so can someone explain please? Thanks!

Thanks for the Live and taking us along for the the ride! Enjoy your cruise!

Mach.........the storms and other fronts have all moved out of the Atlantic. Bill said its because Lambie is on board and she is a "high pressure area" herself and is pushing the storms out of the way!

Have a blast.

Ah Mach, as "our" John would say BRILLIANT. One day I hope to sail with the Crazies. I do belive that is possibly the title I have been given more times than I can say

Have a wonderful time, may you have sunny days, starry nights and calm seas.

Always love Mach's live threads and reviews. Can't wait for more! Crazies Fan since the beginning so Hi to Stitch, Chiefie, Six, Chevelle, Lambie, Janey and all of the Crazies. Taylor, Susan, and Pechez are doing a great job keeping the original Crazies thread on page 1 so while I am viewing like crazie there(!), thought I would bump this thread back to page 1.
