It's official....look out MUSH, here I come :banana:

Thanks to Ngaire and Suzanne I'm going to have the time of my life <img border="0" alt="[vhappy]" title="" src="graemlins/icon_vhappy.gif" />

Lauri, I am pretty sure you are in for a fun time!

I think we are all in for a fun time!! Have we booked the whole ship yet?????? :pass:

I tried to update the roll call the best I could, is there anyone missing or someone who is still on the list that has cancelled?

Hi Karen,

Unfortuantely, Tonya and I had to cancel this cruise due to a scheduling conflict at work. My company was awarded a new Federal Contract that requires I be in the office in September. I'm excited about the new contract but extrememly disappointed we are going to miss all the fun. We'll have to experience Suzette via SeaMail. :eek: It's just not the same!!!

The good news is that we were able to move our booking to Ngaire's escorted cruise from Dover to Monte Carlo on Aug 9th. It's a Food & Wine cruise, so we'll have to start losing weight now in preparation!

We were in Cabin 758 for MUSH so you can take us off the list :mecry:

John, I will take you off but I am not happy about it!! Hopefully we will get to meet on a future cruise.

Karen - Brad and I also cancelled - cabin 835 - too much going on with ROAR, Silverseas Vietnam cruise in November and then Antarctica. Alaska will have to wait for awhile.

Sorry to hear this John & Tonya and Leslie & Brad! Hopefully we get to meet up on a future cruise. :(

Yikes, Tonya, I was looking forward to some major dancing with you as we did on PIP. Bummer, indeed that you won't be on MUSH!! Oh yeah, John, sorry that we won't be seeing you as well. (Non-PIPsters, please understand that the last sentence was not in any fashion a slam at John - he just ain't the dance partner for me that Tonya is...Hmm, actually John & I didn't even try a dance together, now that I think of it. And you all thought that PIP was so wild, no?? You see, it was in fact quite conventional.) Cheers, Fred

Fred! I am here for you!!! I am much older than Tonya, but you and I can do Lawyers DanceII !!! I don't have the ability to bring up that dance I did with Gil on MINT that Masaki posted as "The Lawyers Dance". Are you ready, or not? Have to tell you, I will not be wearing that "feather dress" as I thought it was going to fall off, as Masaki noted in his album!

Boo hoo, Leslie and Brad :(

Olivia - I am indeed ready!! In fact, Tonya was not my only favorite dance partner on PIP - Kathy, Anne, and (of course) Ngaire were marvelous partners as well (although I was always afraid that I might get strangled by Ngaire's magnificent string of pearls). Both Suzette and Sheri kept insisting that they didn't really dance (unless one counts pole-dancing!!!). Since you and I are of a similar age, we will show all the "youngsters" how to move, no?? By the way, since it will likely be a bit nippy in Alaska, I don't intend to wear a feather dress either. Cheers, Fred

Fred,

I promised my friend Carol, that you could take her for a spin or two. She's a REALLY good dancer. And she's can Swing, Pole and Salsa too. Justhave to try it out AFTER the All Inclusive Wine at Dinner time.

Tanya and John - your smiling faces will be missed on MUSH!

LOL as always , Fred! and then had to go back and see what Olivia said to prompt your reply!! I think we're going to need VIDEO of "the lawyers' dance!!" :D :app:

Karen.
Is there a way for you to "update" your first post
on "MUSH" with the list of those going?

Fred - I'd be thrilled to twirl around the dance floor with you again. Regrettably it won't be on MUSH. For all of you out there - he is a magnificent dancer & a great companion. Pat is a very lucky guy, indeed (and vice versa).

Cheers, Anne

Anne - You are going to miss a marvelous week-long party on MUSH. We will simply have to make up for it on POP on the Hanseatic - we can invent something new on the dancefloor, maybe the Penguin Shuffle!! Cheers, Fred

O.K.--if you guys are going to do the Penguin Shuffle on POP, I'll want my turn too :D

Agree that list may need some updating. There are others on this cruise that are also on MUSH. Mike and June Gittings (Mike is a lurker that should come out !) Also Paul (worldcruiser2005) is definitely on MUSH. Both booked with Ngaire while she was on board 2 weeks ago. I can't remember either of their cabins to add to the list...Ngaire will know (or Paul can supply his own).

Jim, I can't update it unless someone tells me what cabin they are in. Maybe if Ngaire ever gets a spare moment, she can update it as well. With the new 2007 schedules just out, I can only imagine how busy she is!!

I have been making changes to the list every time someone informs me of their cabin number or if they have cancelled, though.

Thanks Karen.
That works.
I guess I thought it was close to original list.

Karen,

It is confusing to know when the last roll call update was done. Maybe it could be editied to say "Updated on ,,,,,,"and put the last date edited so people will know?

I updated it this morning when Freddie emailed me his correct cabin number :)

Ngaire, Where are Yvonne and Guy? Thanks.

Folks, these are friends of ours who we abducted from Switzerland. They're coming over to the dark side. We're making LCTers out of them. This is their second RSSC cruise and they are Ngaire's clients as well.

I never check it - the list I mean - what will be will be - we'll all discover one another soon enough - currently I am worried about guest list for April party here - Joanna

So Joanna, you won't have to worry about that guest list, just invite LCT'ers and you can have an online party - no fuss, no muss. We can even pot luck.

I edited the roll call today to add Sheri in cabin 746 :woh:

776 for Yvonne and Guy.

I can't remember which cabin Paul Stavros (worldcruiser2005) is in but I don't see him on the list.

Thanks, Ngaire. With Sheri down the hall and Suzanne on the other side, I guess our shoes aren't very safe!! This hall will be dangerous. It looks like we've taken over. :ch:

Andi, it definately looks that way. I think I counted 88 of us in 48 cabins so far and most of us are on deck seven. :banana: :banana: :banana:

765 Marcie - PAUL

Can you imagine the Block party on Deck 7?

Ngaire, you can add my last name to the roster.
765 Paul Stavros

:banana: Hope those of us stranded in the upper decks get invited to the Block Party on Deck 7 :banana:

:ch:

David,

You can bring your gang down to Deck 7, we won't tell anyone that you are hobnobing with those of us in steerage.

Paul, what a small, small world! I saw your name, and thought it looked familiar. Then I looked at your location and remembered how I knew the name. You bought a piece of artwork from me many years ago at Mainsail, I believe. It was a large piece in Plexiglas, that featured a Lurex-wrapped keyboard with theatrical memorabilia.

Looking forward to seeing you again on MUSH! Glad to have you aboard!

Marti Cowie (Denton)

Editing to add that, although I'm travelling on this trip using DH's last name Denton, I continue to think of myself as Cowie. Hence the nick, cashcowie. Sore subject in our household. :)

Wow Marti and Paul, what a coincidence!!

Well, MUSH will be history in 6 months - we're heading home from Denali just 6 months from today!

Looking forward to getting on board. It's been a while since my last cruise - I'm getting antsy! :)
