OFF. CC 3rd ANNUAL SUPERBOWL/VALENTINE B2B 2/2 & 2/8 2014 ON THE FREEDOM REDUCED DEP.

Oh...I was told it was 1:30. I don't follow your football so I don't really know !!

 

Ship time kickoff will be around 6:30.

 

The 1:30 you heard was probably your local time, which I assume would be the official pregame show time.

We are going to be in the door decorating contest...but I hope no one comes to look at our door that first day...because priority number 1, for us, will be finding a good, comfortable place to watch the game from.

Neither of our teams are in it...but that is better, in my opinion, because it won't be so stressful and we can just enjoy it. For us, getting to watch the game on the big screen with a whole bunch of people is as close to the superbowl as we will ever get. Being in Canada it's hard to find many people who watch the NFL and would like to even get together for a superbowl party.

It's not the reason for the cruise but it's a big bonus in our world!!

Now I just have to pick a team to cheer for (I like them both...leaning towards the Seahawks just because I got to see them play in person and long ago they had a quarter back who started in my hometown as a quarter back)

 

At this particular moment, however, I'm so excited because at 7:30 am we leave for the airport tomorrow...so only one more sleep.

 

I'm also nervous as heck because I need to spend the day trying to get everything we've put out "to go" into our suitcases...can you say "over packing"??? I think it might be tattooed on my head LOL!!!

 

Although there is this video on youtube about packing and I'm going to try his technique (although we will have a LOT more than a carry on...that's just the same as science fiction to me)

 

Check it out...if nothing else it's interesting (although a little "dry" but it's not long)

POKER/CABIN CRAWL

CALLING ALL CRUISERS...Any more crawlers wanting to join us for the FUN.................................

 

An Aft-wrap or suite would be awesome *wink wink*

 

For those that aren't sure what is involved, here is an explanation

Each cabin has a deck of cards and as the crawlers arrive they pick a card and then host cabin writes down their pick on the scorecard.

The host cabin can also participate, and sometimes they decorate or offer up some refreshments of some sort...maybe something from their hometown.

At the end,we tally up the scorecards and find the winning hands.

There will be 1st place,70%, 2nd place,20% and 3rd place 10%...also a

"boobie" prize for the worst hand ;0)

Also if you would like to crawl without offering your room, then please let me know, so I have an idea of how many scorecards/cheat sheets to make up. Now don't be shy, because anyone can play even if you don't know how...that's what the cheat sheets are for !!!!!!

To all of you that will be sailing next week, we would just like to wish each and every one of you a very safe and happy cruise! I wish that we could have sailed with you, but things around here kept us of being able to enjoy being with all of you. You will all enjoy Amy and Austin, as you will not find any better hosts! They will keep you entertained and amused at all times! If you have half the fun that we had with them on our Spirit to Hawaii cruise, then it will be a cruise to remember for a long, long time!

 

Tom, I sure hope that your Seahawks are victorious on Sunday! It really should be a great game. Two of the best QBs of all time.

 

Amy, please keep us in mind for that Panama Canal cruise, OK?

 

BON VOYAGE!

 

:cool: Bill & Leila :rolleyes:

Edited January 31, 2014 by jordanaire

So excited that today is finally here! Woke up at 4 but that's partly because that's the time I wake up for work. Hope to break that habit this week.

What time is everyone going to the ship?

What time is everyone going to the ship?

 

Carnival always sends an email stating you should arrive around 1:30pm. But we plan to head over to the ship around 11am, I'd rather wait there than at the hotel:D

got the same email about not coming until 1:30. Have a rental to return there etc so will probably head there in the noon range.

:D

well...now we are all back to reality :(

So enjoyed this cruise and all the wonderful people on it!! So great to reconnect with old friends and make some new friends as well.

I had a blast, as I am sure most of you know by my antics. That's who I am and if I have offended anyone, then that's just to bad. Life is short and I intend on living it to the fullest !!

Hope to cruise with you all again very soon...Love you all ;)

I love your antics, don't apologize for having a good time!

We Finally got home Tuesday night at 5pm. 18 hours late!! We were supposed to get home Monday night at 11pm! Our luggage was delayed an extra day after us. I am happy to be home for sure. But I certainly didn't miss work or the snow!!

 

We had the most fabulous time I can't wait until we are able to cruise again

SuziQ Boo hooo yes we are all back to reality BUMMER !!!

 

We absolutely enjoyed this cruise. We had such a large group it was absolutely wonderful. We all did our own things, we spent little bits of time with each other while all still doing what it is we want to do with the vacations we worked so hard for. And then.....we all came together for LRC and ended our afternoons with lots of fun and laughter and mingling.

 

I tried every single day to make sure that I said HEYYYY to everyone I saw that was on that HUGE list that we had before the cruise even started. I tried to make sure that everyone including myself had a good time and if I offended anyone, then I would encourage them to speak with me directly.

 

I had my excursions listed on the thread for months prior to cruise anyone who wanted to join us was welcome to join us. On several occasions people told me when we were already on the ship that they had decided to come along and do what we were doing, or just showed up and that was great. That's what being friends, yet doing our own thing is all about.

 

Looking forward to doing it all over again with everyone on Conquest FEB 2015 B2B Super Bowl/Valentines. This time we don't have the tiniest room on the ship !!! We have an AWESOME room and guaranteed there will be a lot more parties !!! :D

 

I really do look forward to sailing with you all again

Amy.

I had a great time also. I loved this cruise and was so glad to see everyone again and meet new cruise friends!! Can't believe I read 8 books on the kindle this cruise!! :eek: It was so relaxing.. Hope to cruise with ya'll again. :D

I am REALLY missing all my Freedom Friends....can we go back onboard now....PLEEEEEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I am REALLY missing all my Freedom Friends....can we go back onboard now....PLEEEEEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
