Capital Jazz Supercruise 2012

[akwaaba]

I finally have my booking number! Had trouble registering because CJ gave Carnival the wrong birthday Aug 04 s/b 14; called Carnival, and they corrected it instead of sending me back to CJ since it was only the day.

 

I also have a different cabin; problem is I purchased the boat ride in Antigua using the cabin number that was on my invoice (how stupid of me). I'll fight that battle latter this week.

[Hermitage1]

I am so glad that your episode has had a happy ending.

[Ms411]

Hooray! What a relief.

[Soukous]

@akwaaba.. glad you were able to get your booking number.

 

I'm still waiting for a response to numerous emails requesting the Travel Pak documentation email from CJP. (smh)

[Ms411]

I don't see Third World on Friday's schedule. In fact, they're not on the schedule at all! Their performance is still listed on their website.

[hattack]

Third World is on the schedule for Saturday poolside concert with DJ Mars

Akwaaba..glad it is resolved..just go by the shore excursion desk on Sunday and advise them of cabin change

[akwaaba]

Thanks All... A weight was lifted; I kept envisioning not having a cabin or them trying to give me a cabin I really didn't want.

 

Soukous... Call them after 10:00am EST and hang on the phone, you might hear leave a message but the system will try to connect you anyway. If you get a person, make them send you the email while you'll on the phone.

[Ms411]

Hermitage1, we're now thinking of exploring the French side of St Martin since we can't confirm our horseback riding excursion.

 

I found these maps that looks pretty good to me. Thought you might want to take a look.

@akwaabe, am happy you made it aboard! To everyone, George Clinton will be performing the same day as my anniversary! Me and wifey will be so ecstatic! We cant wait to see all the wonderful musicians and happy people all together on the jazziest and groovie cruise. I might not see yall faces, but you will see mines. It will be bigger than a Kool Aid smile.:D Have fun everyone, 'cause i will!!!

[hattack]

Bet you will never forget this anniversary on the "MotherShip"!!!! Suggest you stake out your seating arrangements very early for George. The last year that Chuck Btown performed on the SuperCruise for a scheduled 1 pm poolside concert, the deck was packed by 0900 so folks could have the best viewing spots

[Ms411]

Sigh. I am so tempted to bring my own chair.

[hattack]

Most folks like to stand and dance to the music...there are lots of chairs. The reclining lounges are the most desired

[Ms411]

Then why are people getting there so early? You're not supposed to save chairs, so what are people doing in those chairs all morning? Sleeping?

 

I'd like someone other than Hattack to answer, pls. He and I speak different languages.

 

Thanks!

[pfunkbail]

True dat!!!

@411.. I was there when Chuck Brown performed on the Lido deck. Hattack is right if you want a good spot you'll have to get out there early unfortunately. People were laying in the sun tanning, reading kindles, playing cards on the deck below and basically chillin. There were some folks that got there early and held "prime seats" for their friends or family which got a little annoying. Eventually they announce no holding seats and if people weren't in their seats 15 mins (?) before a show the sets were up for grabs. Once Chuck came on people were dancing the entire set all over the deck above and below.

[Ms411]

So those that are waiting are missing something that is going on elsewhere on the ship?

[Soukous]

Yes, they miss what is going on elsewhere throughout the ship if they stay the entire time on the Lido deck waiting for the noon performance. However, there are still many things to do after the performance. I like to do some sessions inside and a little outside as well. I guess it just depends on the individual. Some folks like the sun and they don't seem to have an issue with waiting on the Lido deck for the show (more like lounging). This is just my observation.

[Ms411]

Thanks, Soukous.

[Ms411]

Um, do they serve any food at the pre-party?

[Soukous]

@411, You're welcome. You know I can't remember if they had any food or not I didn't stay very long at the pre-party.

[Ms411]

Thanks again, Soukous. I may want to check out a local jazz club instead of going to the pre party. It'll give me a chance to experience more of Ft Lauderdale. I don't get in until 5 pm, so I'll probably be hungry by the time I get to the hotel. Nobody where I live throws an event without food, but from what I remember about Stateside events, food is usually on your own, so one needs to plan to eat either before or after.

[AZ Greg]

Just wanted to stop by and wish everyone a great cruise. I'm sure it will be great and you will all have a fantastic trip. Wish I could make it, but I have a good friend going so I will get a replay from him.

 

I wish you all fair winds, following seas and music that dosen't stop. Because it's all about the music.

 

Travel Safe

[Soukous]

@411, Jazz club sounds good. What the name? We may want to check that out.

[pfunkbail]

Hey ya'll, I'm chilling at my hotel on SE 17th St. Gonna take a little rest and then kick this groove into gear!!! Let the party begin.
