Teens going on Alaska 2009 cruise

[MorganP]

Hi!
My name is Morgan, I am 16, and the Alaska cruise will be my second RFamily cruise.
I live in Nyack, NY and I was wondering how many other teens will be going on the cruise?
Thanks

[dramacratic]

Hey Morgan!

I'm Lauren, I'm soon to be 17 years old, and the Alaska cruise will be my third rfamily cruise (I think, haha).

I know exactly where Nyack is! I'm down on Long Island, but one of my best friends (who I met on the cruise, ironically enough) lives over in Nanuet. Which other cruises have you been on?

[carlinaly]

Hey morgan!
My name is Aly, I'm from California, and I'll be 18 on the next cruise!
The Alaska cruise will be my 6th Rfamily cruise and they've all been the best experiences I've ever had.
I know of atleast 25 teens that are going this summer.
I look forward to meeting you =]
~Aly from Cali

[dramacratic]

Aly! (Lauren O'Donnell here!)

Hey hey =]
I REALLY hope I'm going on this year's cruise....I miss you =[

[holowek]

Hey! We're Simon and Seth H. from Michigan. We're 19 and 17 and this will be our fourth cruise in five years and we're looking forward to seeing all of the old friends and finding new ones! See you there:)

[CaseyJ]

Hey Morgan! I'm Casey from Nyack and im 15 now but ill be 16 on the cruise! :p .

[MorganP]

Casey, woa, you are sitting in my kitchen right now!......

Hey guys,
thanks for your replies...this will be my second cruise, I went on the cruise to the Caribbean (Old San Juan, St. Thomas, Antigua) in 2007, I believe. It was a lot of fun.

[CaseyJ]

That i am but anyway...hi to everyone else who is going on the cruise. This is my first cruise and i a little nervous but super excited too! im really looking forward to going and cannot wait!

[holowei4]

Hey All!
It seems my mother posted that I am going on the cruise which is very true but wanted to give my personal touch to this. My name is Simon and I'm now 19 years old and this will be my fourth cruise. I've met tons of amazing people and still keep in day-to-day contact with a bunch of teens I've meet over the years. I can't wait to go back and if anyone has any questions for me or concerns feel free to email me at holowei4@msu.edu.
Can't wait to meet all of you!!!
:)

[bjb412]

Hi, I'm Gavin
This will be my first rfamily cruise. I will be 15 at the time of the cruise. And hope to meet some teens so I don't have to hang out with my little brother:)

[Crazycherylsprincess]

HEY EVERYONE,

My name is LORi,, im 18.. i live in NYC this will b my 8th R Family Cruise.. i havent made that many teen friends (because ive been attached to all the babys) but this year i want to make some new friends...!!
:cool:

R Family is my second family and i want to have a great time on the next cruise...

[Nightowls]

Hey Lori...congrats on your scholarship!!! See ya in a few months...perhaps Kelsey will hang with you a bit this time.
Patty

[Crazycherylsprincess]

Thanks so much.!

[MorganP]

Hi Simon!

haha, Gavin i thought the same thing on my first cruise (though my brother is eight years younger than me, so at the time it would have been more like babysitting him). I met some really cool people on the cruise, though.

[mpoole]

heey, I'm Meagan
This is my first rfamily cruise
i can't wait!
i'll be 14 by the time of the cruise
and am so excited to meet alot of new teens!:)
if anyone has AIM myspace or facebook
message me and we can start talking:D

[mpoole]

by the way, i live in South Jersey... anyone close?

[MorganP]

Hey,
Im from NY, which isn't nextdoor, but isnt far.
I have a Facebook, and AIM, and same thing, i would love to connect with some people before the cruise.

[davidsmom1396]

OK, SO I AM NOT A TEEN BUT OUR BOYS, DAVID AND RYAN ARE, WE ARE FROM NY (THE BRONX) - I AM SURE THEY WOULD LOVE TO TALK ON AIM. SO I WILL TRY AND REMIND MYSELF TO LET THEM SEE THIS. THOUGH NEITHER HAS FACEBOOK OR MYSPACE (APPARENTLY I AM A TERRIBLE MOTHER FOR THIS. LOL) THIS WILL BE OUR SECOND CRUISE AND WE CAN'T WAIT!

[PetrieShodi]

I am not a teen either...but my daughter Asia is...and no you aren't a terrible mom for no facebook....we JUST allowed her on FB and we have all the passwords and stuff...if there is one deviation from the list she's off in an instant. lol....

Anyway Asia is 13 (closer to 14 by cruise time) and would love to make some friends too!!

Our second as well!! We are from Orangeville Canada

[msmmrobinson]

I will join in on the the thread of non-teens. Our daughter Shaiette will turn 13 while on the cruise. This is our first cruise and she is really excited about. I am also joining the terrible mother club because she does not have a myspace or facebook page but she does have IM, I will have her get a log on to the forum so she can connect with more teens.

We are from California.

[MorganP]

haha, you aren't terrible parents at all.
Im turning sixteen in June, and I was finally allowed to get a Facebook in February after months of convincing my mom I wouldnt friend sixty year old men i don't know.

[PetrieShodi]

haha, you aren't terrible parents at all.
Im turning sixteen in June, and I was finally allowed to get a Facebook in February after months of convincing my mom I wouldnt friend sixty year old men i don't know.

Thanks for the compliments!!! i will get Asia to log on later with her own i.d. maybe you guys can find each other!!!

Cheers

Robyn and Sherri

[Kelsey!]

In all honesty, facebook is a lot safer than myspace. I'm 14 and I have both but my mom moniters both, hahh. Neither are that bad if your being smart about information you put out :]

[MorganP]

personally, i never really wanted a myspace. I do like that you can pick a background, and personalize it, though.

[shellswells]

Hey....I had my facebook page first...and let Eden get one...I love facebook...and am able to monitor what she writes and who she talks with and has as facebook friends.

Never let her do my space..

if anyone wants to facebook friend Eden.... she is Eden Starnes from Florida 15 yrs old and has been on two cruises. Just let her know you're an rfamily friend

We haven't booked yet but we are closer to doing so.

looking forward to seeing a bunch of you kids again!!!

Marie and her granddaughter, Eden

[MorganP]

hey!
Im 15 too, I looked for Eden Starnes on FB and there are two of you...so im not sure which you are.
Which other cruises have you been on?

[Kelsey!]

Kelsey Hackett on facebook, you're welcome to add me as well with a note mentioning rfamily :]

facebook tops myspace but some people that are on myspace aren't on facebook which is the reason i have BOTH, hahah! :D

[davidsmom1396]

OK, SO I THINK I MAY ACTUALLY ALLOW THEM TO GET ON FB :rolleyes: (WHICH BOTH MYSELF AND MY WIFE ARE ALREADY ON. LOL:D ) I DO HOWEVER HAVE TO TALK TO HER WHEN I GET HOME AND SEE IF I CAN CONVINCE HER. THE BOYS LOVE THE CRUISES ALREADY BUT IF THEY KNOW THAT YOU ALL ARE THE REASON WE ARE GONNA ALLOW THEM ON FB THEY MAY SWEAR ALLEGIENCE FOREVER. ;)

Hahh, I would love rfamily if that was the reason I got a facebook. Really though, if you and your wife have facebook and are on their friends than you can basically see everything they do and all the people they add as friends. It's safe and a good way to keep in touch with people.. but if you have one I'm sure you know that :]

[MorganP]

haha, im sure they would love you, and rfamily forever .

kelsey, there are many kelsey hacketts on fb, and im not sure which is you.
i could friend all of them, but it probably wouldnt work out too well. haha

hahah, no i dont believe thatd work out too well. i'll be the only one if you look up kiwikelsey123@aol.com

:]

[MorganP]

okay, haha ill do that!

[shellswells]

the correct Eden Starnes is the Girl looking off holding a Rubitz Cube in her hand

[MorganP]

okay, ill lookout for her
:)

[shellswells]

thanks girls...Eden said you facebook friended her

[Paula T]

My daughter, also named Morgan, is coming on the Alaska cruise too. She's 16, and this will be her first cruise. We're from the San Diego area, and are really looking forward to this. I am sure she would love to hear from any other teens who can give her an idea of what to expect. Her AIM is AngelOfThyme .

[MorganP]

yay, another morgan!
haha

[MorganT]

MorganP, MorganT, MorganP, MorganT, MorganQ...where'd that come from?! Anyway, thought that was interesting. So you've been on the cruise before? Awesome, this'll be my first time...on any cruise for that matter o.o

[MorganP]

haha that was epic, and i like your quote on the bottom...
i went on the 2006 cruise......or maybe it was 2007...im not sure, but it was a lot of fun.
i was really shy then though, so i kinda kept to myself and the people we went with, but ive come out of my shell more though, so hopefully ill meet some new people.

[Kelsey!]

hahh two morgans. im going to get confused..

[MorganP]

haha.
there is one other morgan at my school...and he is a dude. so no confusion there

[Crazycherylsprincess]

hey everyone! i see everyone is talking and having a good time... i wanna join! lol i want to make friendsss!!!

[MorganP]

[Crazycherylsprincess]

[Crazycherylsprincess]

[MorganT]

Gah! I need to check up here more often! o.o

I've got a facebook, I need to get a better picture of myself though >< because it sucks there. But anyway, thanks for the compliment on my signature MorganP, I read the entire thing and thought it was just epic within itself XD

Plus it's pretty true about Christine.

I used to know another Morgan in the second grade...in a catholic school....I wonder what ever happened to her.

Ah well. I'm no boy and don't plan on being a male Morgan, otherwise it would be somewhat awkward for me and one of my friends. XD

[MorganP]

haha,
yea ill look for you on FB

haha
i also know another girl morgan, or knew...
but she was nowhere near to a catholic school girl. lol

[MorganP]

... and congrats on graduating, where are you planning to go to college?

[Crazy aka Cheryl]

... and congrats on graduating, where are you planning to go to college?

[Paula T]

I'm MorganT's mom... if your nickname is Momo, you have definitely got to go to the Pike's Market Mall in Seattle. There is a shop there called Tenzig Momo that has great logo tshirts. They sell teas, incense and spices.

[dramacratic]

ah the cruise is getting closer

I know! I'm sooo exited =]

[shellswells]

Eden asked me to post for her and tell all of you she is really excited to be going on the rfamily cruise again...and looking forward to see all of her old friends and looking forward to making new ones. She has hooked up with some of you on facebook, too.

I am taking Eden and a friend to Miami this next weekend for FL SuperCon Convention. It is an Anime type convention. Parents know my pain...LOL.

Are there any teens out there that are into this stuff, too? Also, are there any special board games anybody wants brought along?:)

[MorganP]

thats cool, i have friends who are into anime, but ive never read it...

less than one month!

[Paula T]

Question... do teens dress up for the theme nights?

[dramacratic]

I've usually dressed for most--if not all--theme nights, as have most of my other cruise friends. The 'teen club' also has their own theme nights, which I've never really dressed up for, but yeah.

Sorry! I know that's probably not much help...

[the8rical]

Hey, I'm Maya. I'm 14 years old, and I'm going on my first RFamily cruise this summer! Hope to make lots of new friends even before I get there! :)

[CaseyJ]

Hi everyone! I haven't been on the forum lately, but i want to get to know some kids who are going on the Alaska cruise this summer so i know some people when im on the cruise!
Casey:D

[MorganP]

um...i might dress up for theme nights...if other people are so i dont look like a dope :)
haha depends what the theme is

[jesselbr]

I know I'm a bit late on introducing myself, but better late than never I suppose! I'm Jesse, I'm 15, I live in Oklahoma, and this will be my 2nd rfamily cruise. I'm a girl, by the way. I'd love to meet other teens going on the cruise! My facebook is facebook.com/jesselbr if anybody wants to add me!
See you on the cruise!
Jesse

[Crazycherylsprincess]

David is bad with names - but just get them in his phone and I'll make sure he keeps up with you this time around. And Katie well has her own social secretary.

[proud_to_have_two_moms]

Hmm...are we talking Teen Theme nights, or overall Cruise Theme nights??

Because I'm confused! =P

[mmoynan]

Overall cruise theme nights, dramacratic.

And Jessi I think my whole WARDROBE is made for Snow Ball!

[dramacratic]
