ONLY 22 DAYS REMAIN...........

until our cruise on OASIS OF THE SEAS. ( Not a MIXED NUTZ cruise event)

All of our pre cruise stuff is done. We have completed the set sail pass........ received our luggage tags........ made dining reservations and reservations for the shows. That part is new. Now you start planning ahead 90 days for shows you want to see. To me, this is getting a bit crazy because it is taking away from the "spirit" of cruising , which was having many choices of venues to pick from at any one time. I personally like to be able to have the choice although I am a creature of habit and do see all the shows onboard anyway. But I like to have the choice. Now it's a plan ahead deal or..... show up and wait for standby seating. Of course with that you are either lucky or un-lucky and likely getting the worst seats in the house.

I will be spending my time checking out the ship so our April 29, 2012 cruise event for the MIXED NUT will be as smooth as possible. I'll be able to pick out meeting places... finding out which areas get overcrowded ( if any) .....etc.

Small detail from the Princess Cruise in June. As I have said before, the Caribbean Princess was a wonderful ship and was staffed with an abundance of helpful crew members. Service was outstanding on our June 4, 2011 cruise.

Posting will be more frequent now that the weather is chasing me indoors.

September news

It looks like we have reached the end of summer on Long Island, NY.

It was a nice summer for the first half and then we had to deal with a medical issue with wife Carol in the second half. I had an excellent tan going up until that point. We were able to get a last beach day in a few days ago trying to boost the tan a bit. I don't think it did much. ( I may have to resort to FAKE BAKE....lol )

Now we are in the under one month countdown for the OASIS OF THE SEAS on October 15, 2011. This is not a Mixed Nutz event but a few of us ( two) are going to be looking over the layout of OASIS and be ready for the MIXED NUTZ on ALLURE OF THE SEAS on April 29th of 2012. We have a big event planned for ALLURE and there is plenty of room for new MIXED NUTZ. We always welcome new folks to join with us and create new friends that you will keep in touch with forever. Once a Mixed NUTZ always a MIXED NUTZ. ( there is no singular ....lol ) So if you want to have a good time..... come and hang with us.

Right now we are looking forward to OASIS and all that it is. It promises to be a wonderful time. It seems like everybody who cruises on OASIS...loves it. And now...... just 4 weeks away.

There is an active cruise critic thread for this cruise and we look forward to meeting our cruise critic friends there.
