Home From Pampered Chef Cruise.......

[PampMomof3]

All I have to say is WOW!! Pampered Chef really took care of us! I hung out with DebbieJ and PamperedBecky quite a bit! Our husbands hit it off which made it really nice as well! I also met Darcy (ohmydlm) and all of them are AWESOME!! I'll try to post some pictures once I read KG's hitchhiking guide to resize them. But first, I'm spending time with our kids and prepare for my show TOMORROW!!!

Great pics, Deb!! I have some REALLY good ones from the last night, but I don't think I'll post those. :angel: I had a blast and had tons of fun hanging out with Deb, Kristi and Darcy. PC knows how to treat us GREAT! I could've used one more day of relaxation, but it's nice to be home and see the kids and get back into the swing of things. I'm glad we have the weekend, but I also have a show tomorrow, so I must unpack, hang with the kids and get ready for the show.

What fun we had!

How funny, we're about to take our kids to see that movie too! What a coincidence. Tomorrow afternoon I will try to download my pics.

 

[DebbieJ]

Kristi, I used photobucket as well.I have some pics of my DH that he'd rather I deleted. If you have some, I'd love to see them. I just got back from picking up DS, now I have to pack for tomorrow's show. Back to real life....ugh!

 

[chef131doreen]

GREAT time we had a blast . I would love show my pics how do I do it ?

 

[chef131doreen]

Did The Soverent ship get to COCO KAY

 

[merego]

Welcome back great pix, looks like you had a great time

 

[DebbieJ]

Yes, the Sovereign made it. We were supposed to go there on Tuesday, but it was too rough. So we went straight to Nassau. That's why we pulled in while you were still there. We did Nassau late Tues through Weds midnight, then made it to CocoCay on Thurs, which was supposed to be our day at sea.Did you guys make it there?

 

[rennea]

Sounds like you guys had fun. Welcome back

 

[pamperedval]

Deb, I was on the Majesty and no - we didn't make it to Coco Cay

From your pictures it looks like it was really nice. I wish we could have gone - but the water was too choppy for the smaller boats to take us to the island. So we ended up with a day at sea on Wednesday. Maybe that is why I still feel like I'm on the ship!

I can't get rid of my sea legs...

We had a great time though and I really can't complain - although it would have been nice to veg at the beach. How was the BBQ lunch there? We didn't end up getting that.

It was my first cruise and I loved it. PC really knows how to treat us well - I was impressed with the champagne and chocolates that were delivered to our room the first night! Nice touch!

Good luck getting back into things. I wish we had a couple days to recover from the trip before life starts again!

 

[DebbieJ]

Not to rub it in or anything but this is what you missed. The BBQ lunch was good, not great. But we had a great time snorkeling and drinking CocoLocos! And my sunburn is also courtesy of CocoCay.

YOU WILL!! Tell EVERYONE your goal NOW!!

 

[pamperedbecky]

Well, that's weird! How come I can't see any of them? It says the image has been moved or deleted or something like that. Hmmmmm. I want to see!!!:cry: :cry:

I can see Deb's pictures though.

 

[pamperedalf]

Becky I was thinking the same thing. I want to see too!

 

[PamperedDor]

Make that Three - I see little white boxes that say the image or video has been removed!!! NOT FAIR ladies!!:cry:

 

[lacychef]

Yeah Kristi; I wanna see those pics! Why aren't they showing now?:cry:

 

[pamperedlinda]

I can still see the pictures.....hmmmm, that's weird.

CocoCay

The reason why no one was seeing them is because she moved them into a different folder, and those of you who were still seeing them, it's because they are in your cache from viewing them before. I fixed the links from this thread and I'll fix the other links.

 

[Debala715]

Fixing link to picture.

Nice Pics Deb! Let me try this:

Okay, I did it!! I'll post more!

Yep, no Coco Cay for the Majesty...I can honestly say I won't ever be crusing with Royal Carribean again! Very disappointed that we had to ask for additional food at meals (small portions) and there were few things available between lunchtime (we ate around noon) and the 8:30pm dinner. Cold, windy at night and no chairs available by the pool during the day...kids in the Hot Tub (doing who knows what in the water)....I guess I am just not the crusing type.

We did shopping on Nassau. I would never go back, it's a really dirty place, lots of men standing on the dock yelling at you to get you to go on "island tours" with them, kind of scary. We did go to Atlantis for a walk and stopped to get a drink there ($11 for each fruity-rum drink), hubby went to the bathroom there and watched an Atlantis worker use the bathroom and walk out without washing his hands....hmm....decided not to buy the $18 hamburger and won't be going back there anytime in the future!

Key West was good, the only warm day we had. We may go back for a long weekend in the future.

Then we waited at the airport for 7 hours for our scheduled flight to leave.

I am on track for Riviera Maya next year and will try that, but if it's not any better, no more PC trips for me....I will be taking the cash and booking a trip on my own!

Writing this as I am sneezing and wiping my nose (probably from the dirty handrails on the ship)!

Not very impressed, spent around $300 on the ship for drinks for the week -- they automatically charge you a 15% gratuity, even if you go to the bar and get the drink yourself), and $400 on souveniers (bought them now because we won't be going back!) but at least we found out where NOT to go!

Hope that others had a better time than us, I think we are just spoiled from other amazingly great vacations we have taken to other places on our own.

Sorry to hear your trip was disappointing Janice. Definitely give the trips another try...we absolutely loved the London trip and am going to try for Paris this year.
