HERE WE ARE...IT'S APRIL

We are just 60 days away fro the Caribbean Princess cruise and for me, it can't come quick enough. There is no sign of spring here on Long Island. A few weeks back there was a teaser of spring for two days but the weather quickly reverted back to what I call "THE DOLDRUMS OF MARCH." It always was the worst month of the year to me. However, I must state that my sweetie Carol's birthday is in March but her date is almost April so that doesn't really count as March....lol.

Before we get to the cruise in June, we will be taking a little trip to Florida to see Carol's Mom. With that of course we will get a dose of much warmer weather, which will make me more annoyed when I get back to Long Island in mid May and still have lousy weather. Typically the weather thru May is so up and down. We used to plan on opening the pool for Memorial Day every year. ( pool is gone now) Some years it hardly seems worth doing because the weather was so poor. What it will be this year remains to be seen.

PRINCESS NEWS

The Princess boards for our cruise date on cruise critic is a busy one. There is a very large meet and greet planned and more people are joining in daily it seems. There are of course the thread regulars and we've met a bunch of friendly people so far. Tim, as it turns out, is also an avid movie maker. He has posted a trailer for our cruise on the thread. He did a great job and I look at it often as a pick me upper. GOOD JOB TIM. ( I think he's already working on a sequel.......don't say I told you ....LOL )

That's about it for April 4, 2011.

Allure...still a long way off!

This Mixed Nutz Friends and Family cruise is still more than a year out. At the one year mark I will be sending invitation / notifications to everyone who has previously cruised with us. Seems that a year in far out enough for many people to book. Not like us 100% NUTZ....lol. It's never too soon. It must be true.... I probably do have too much time on my hands. ( Thank God for that)

Denise ( derrick22) mentioned T shirts. I have been working on a design that will fit the bill for us. I want to make them in both mens and women's styles. Purple of course and maybe two sided. Let's have a slogan contest for the other side of the shirt..... for example........ " The Mixed Nutz are lost at sea for 7 days...DO NOT SEND HELP" You got the picture!

The CABIN CRAWL POKER GAME went well last time. I have a new and improved idea on that game.

Door decorating this time. We always had the door signs but individual creativity wins a prize this time.

Still lots of time to work out the fun stuff.

April 29, 2012

This is the MIXED NUTZ friends and family cruise. The group for this one is building already. We hope to get a really big turnout for this one.

Don't forget...... it's 2012... and since the world is supposed to end late in the year, this will give you one last chance to take part in a Mixed Nutz Cruise Group event......LOL. So... come and join us.

MORE NEWS!

The cruise on Majesty of the Seas for October 17, 2011 has also changed. We have reverted back to the Oasis of the Seas on October 15, 2011. CRAZY? YES! As it turned out, friends who we mentioned this cruise to, have decided to go. Okay...we killed another tree with all the paperwork. LOL.

The upcoming Caribbean Princess cruise looks real good and I am excited to go on it. Our first cruise on Princess promises to be a fun and new adventure filled time. I'll have more on this as I get some ship details of interest.

MIXED NUTZ ON ALLURE............ Come and join us! April 29, 2012

NEWS!

We made a late change and will NOT be cruising on the Celebrity Summit this June. We have switched to the Caribbean Princess, for a 9 night cruise to the caribbean, departing from New York. Once again we have secured a true aft balcony cabin. This one is on Caribe deck (10) on the corner...# C752. This is our first Princess cruise and our first cruise from our homeport, NYC.

We also had made a booking for Oasis in October but changed that as well. Once again we will cruise on Majesty, a four nighter out of Miami. It was so good last year ( and got an even better price this year) that it was too hard to refuse.

Still on the books ( and NOT TO CHANGE) is the MIXED NUTZ CRUISE GROUP on the ALLURE of the Seas. We were originally going on Oasis this year to get a head start on the layout of the ship. However, we will remain newbies for it and enjoy the feeling of awe as we board.

Upcoming cruises....

June 5, 2011

We are taking a cruise on Celebrity for the first time. This one is going to Bermuda... someplace we have never been. RCCL does not have a seven night cruise to Bermuda...only a five nighter. Not enough for us, so it's with Celebrity on this one.

October 17, 2011

Last September we cruised on Majesty of the Seas, a four night cruise from Miami. We originally had Oasis booked for 10/15/11, which would have given us a preview of what we would see on our next cruise on Allure. However, we thought it over and couldn't resist the spectacular savings by cruising Majesty. RCCL is offering a NY residency savings certificate. True.... you can't compare the ships but since we were going to be in Florida anyway for other reasons, the 4 nights work out just fine.
