I got in early. Got everything. When I was talking to the cast member, there was no one in que, then 20 seconds later, BAMMMM, tons of people. She started laughing. I had warned her what would happen , but it just wasn't yet. City tour, Curacao. Stone Island( they said it shows horses that you can get with no posted age limit) , Cliff divers, Don't remember the last as it is a jumble.

Sunday Evening Edition


What's Going On.


:fish: Precruise Going On's :fish:


IMPORTANT...
To make sure we get our pins in time for the cruise, I will need to get the payment to Susan by 3/14 the latest. Ideally, we should have the order cut off on 2/14, which would give everyone 3 weeks to get the payment to me. We can extend that by a week, as I am padding this to leave no room for errors. I figure I need the payment by 3/7. Susan says she needs the payment by 3/14, and will order by 4/1, so we will have our pins by 4/29 (this leaves only a 2 week window for error) Once we cut off the orders, I will contact Susan with our total, and then she will get the pricing. I will PM everyone as well as post the price. Initially, I was going to just purchase them, and collect when I pass them out

Recap: Order cut off by 2/14 - 2/21
Payment to me by 3/7
Payment to Susan by 3/14
Susan will order and pay by 4/1
Pins delivered to me by 4/2

Robin
 
Just wondering....is anyone else booked for the 8:10 am Discover Curacao Island Tour????

Elaine
 
after hanging on to the phone and hearing all the nice music ( it would be cheaper to download from itunes!) we got what we requested...
the jetskis in cc, the mercado and cliff divers in acapulco and the mexican ranch in mazatlan. nothing really took our interest in cabo so my wifes going shopping,I suppose I will have to go too. :moped:
 
Oh nutz! The El Mercado/Cliff Divers was the one that I couldn't get because it "wasn't in their system". I'm back on the phone :confused3
 
Thanks to Mohammad we got most of what we wanted: :cheer2:

Castaway Cay: Getaway Package, Banana Boat Ride @ 10:00am, Eco Tour @ 1:00pm (double)
Curacao: Spanish Water Snorkeling @ 12:20pm
Cabo San Lucas: Snorkel & Sail Fiesta @ 9:15am

We also have the Eco Tour (Personal Watercraft) at Castaway Cay, and the Land's End Coastal Cruise. We'll wing it in Curacao and Mazatlan. :banana: :banana: :banana:

Glad that's set. pirate:
 
Well, I didn't get around to calling until about 1/2 hour ago but I was able to get everything I was looking for (or at least I was told I was booked into the stuff I wanted).

Curacao: Highlights Tour with Folkloric Show
Acapulco: Cultural Walking Tour
Cabo San Lucas: Coastal Highlights Tour
Mazatlan: Old Mazatlan Walking Tour

It almost makes up for the shrieks of pain emitted by my Visa card on Thursday when I paid my balance. :)
 
Improvgal....

I tried to book the Old Mazatlan Walking Tour and was told it was not available for booking....Do you recall who you spoke to??? I was advised to call back tomorrow morning at 8 am to check on availability on this tour.

Elaine
 
Call back Elaine. They are having problems but they have ways to get around it. Just tell them that you saw on the internet that others have been able to get it booked today.

Anyone else joining me?

Thinkn we'll be doing Mazatlan's Stone Island on our own. You can take the ferry for $1 each and sit at the beach for free! Will look for a banana boat or something fun for the kids....
 
Thanks for telling me to call back. I called back and was able to get the tours I originally wanted but was told they were not available.

My new "revised" excursion list is:

Curacao - Discover Curacao Island Tour (8:10 am)
Acapulco - Acapulco Highlights Tour (11:15 am)
Mazatlan - Mazatlan City Tour & Folkoric Show (8:30 am)
Cabo San Lucas - Coastal Highlights Tour (7:55 am)

I decided to change our Cabo excursion because my Mom expressed some reservations about going on a catamaran.

Thanks again for advising me to call back and to say that others were able to book things today. It seems that the supervisors are able to book things that the phone agents are not.

Yippeeeeee!!!! Only 90 more days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Elaine

Curacao 8:10 Discover Curacao Island Tour
Acapulco 10:00 El Mercado and Cliff Diver Experience

I did have trouble trying to book the El Mercado and Cliff Diver but Mary the supervisor called me back and said it was taken care of for us.

Liz
 
Well we got through... not everything we wanted, but... Lots of what we did!

Castaway Cay - Eco Tour 10:30am (Thanks Regina!)
Curacao - Outback Adventure - 8:30am
Acapulco - Acapulco Highlights Tour - 11:15am
Mazatlan - Sierra Madre Tour - 8:45am
Cabo San Lucas - Coastal Highlights Tour - 7:55am, Lands End Coastal Cruise - 1:15pm (they said I would have to only pick one due to overlap... but I told them to keep them both booked)

I spoke to a CM named Will, who will be joining us on the cruise. I asked for more info on EVERYTHING, but he said DCL hasn't even told the CMs anything. I told him about out thread. Hopefully he'll join us on the boards! :goodvibes
