See you next week! OMG!!!!

Cool! I was just over there looking for magnet ideas. I just realized I have no door magnets made. This first DCL cruise is overwhelming!

Do we know for sure what night is Pirate night? I thought I saw some discussion about the DCL website having it wrong originally. Anyway, we are booked for Nassau night at 6:30.

Scott, Val & I are looking forward to seeing you and Pam on board and hearing about that last cruise.

Just wanted to remind folks that there is an advantage to booking your next cruise while on board, most notably a 10% savings and an OBC.

You may want to do some advanced planning right now by looking at the various DCL itineraries and deciding what dates work best for you. Then you can get an idea of prices ahead of time to determine if shifting a cruise a month (or week) either way produces a good savings. Make a note of which cruises you are considering so you can request a quote on board.

If you do book on board, you can specify a TA (I'm sure we will all designate Dreams Unlimited) to get credit for the cruise and that will also qualify you for any TA specific benefits.

So- I seem to be confused.
Can you confirm which night is Pirate Night, which night is semi-formal? I have only looked sporadically, but I seem to keep finding differing answers.

Tuesday June 26th is Pirate night and Nassau day. That's what is has been changed to. This is the usual combo.

Also, for those who don't have any lime green Mickey heads (the symbol used by DISers in the parks to easily identify one another), try printing this out:

I'll be dressed up in full pirate gear. One less outfit to think about.
DD15 will be her own Angelica pirate version.
Byron don't know if he'll really participate since this is his first DCL cruise, but I'll try to get him to wear a white shirt and bandana.

Thanks for the mickey head link.

Take a deep breath. It will all come together once you board.

A future discount on Podcast 5.0 ???

We don't have much in the way of gear, but Kristine did get 4 pirate costume sets from the dollar store (fake mustache, eyepatch, and earring).

Does the dress code change for pirate night? I have an old Pirates of the Caribbean t-shirt, but the restaurant will still want collared shirts? . . .

[hbg4]

A lot of people and kids wear pirate themed T-shirts on pirate night. No way will they ask you to leave unless the rest of your gear is 'inappropriate'.

Maybe. With PCC 4.0 not yet here, I'm kind of doubting that Dreams will announce 5.0 yet though.

DH hinted that we'd probably go on 6.0. When can I make my deposit for that one???

[OKW Lover]

If any of you are considering a DVC purchase (new or add-on) there is usually a very good deal if you do it on board. In January they were offering a discounted cost per point (better than what was offered normally) plus a $500 gift card for those that purchased 160 points.

So do some homework first and be sure to attend the DVC presentation on board.
