DOG TAG TEA DANCE

Aloha all,
This one is for the seasoned cruisers who have always been confused about what dog tag colors to wear. I should also be informative for those new cruisers who do not know what the Dog Tag Tea Dance is. For the new guys, this is the first big party usually held on the first full day of the cruise from about 4-7 depending on the cruise. We are all given an Atlantis dog tag and chain that has embossed on it the name of the cruise and the year. It is a great souvenir and you will see lots of veteran cruisers wearing a chain with several tags (one for each cruise).

This party is always fun because it is amazing how people will surprise you with their color choices. Many definitely single guys with Red and Many couples with green.

Another part of this party is the colored stickers. Unfortunately they ONLY have 3 colors which 'officially' mean:

	Available
	Buy me a drink and lets talk
	Not Available

 Lets come up with some ideas of what combinations we could use to convey more information. I have always considered 3 greens to mean 'Desperate - Will consider any and all offers". I have seen guys with one of each color. What does that one mean?

Suggested Codes and combos.  (Note:  There is NO WAY Atlantis is going to bring more than these colors so don't even ask).  Any single color just needs to be by itself.  Use multiple stickers to emphasize it.  (PS:  No codes on purpose to signify NO COUPLES.  You will just have to politely tell them NO. I think red can easily be used to show either you are married or not willing to be married.

			Single and EASY  - names not required.  ONE for just single.  The more green dots the more intense.
	OR		Single and NOT That easy.  Lets get to know each other a bit.
	OR		None at all or just with my husband.
	OR		Unavailable for marriage but can be playful.
	OR		Married but playful.
			Someone pointed out to me that many playful married couples OVERLAP two stickers to show they are a couple.  I would assume that green is a little friskier than the yellow.  I had seen this done but never figured it out.
			We see this a lot.  What does it mean?
Of course you can have NO DOTS AT All to keep up the mystery!

So, what ideas do you all have? Please try to make combos that are not too hard to remember. 

I hope I did not scare any cruise virgins with this one.
