Happy Sunday!!

I finished catching up with Part 4 and found the "end".

We are doing a "final review" of our excursions then will be able to just sit back and count the days. I read someone else was doing that (in order to release any maybes for the 75days people) and thought it was a great idea.

hard to believe it's time to move again

 

[TADsMommy]

From Scottishwee35:

"I checked and still GTY, why is that.

As we had paid full amount and why we wait for GTY?

Do anybody know why?"



It seems that for my bookings, when a "household" books multiple rooms (in other words larger families with same names/address so it is obvious they live together, rather than "family" who may be coming from various parts of the world), they have a high priority, especially for connecting rooms.

Other than that, many times with DCL the GTY's seems to be cleared about 30days out. Just like other posters have mentioned, with the inventory control people handling 3 cruises a week, it is just a "wait your turn" kind of thing.

What I don't understand is when just a "random act of booking" occurs?

Hope everyone gets out of the lifeboats soon.

From JLSE50:

"A friend of mine buys new underwear before a trip, leaves it home, packs her old underwear, wears it and throws it away. She says that gives her a little more souvenir space. "


We started doing this a few cruises ago and it is great!! Especially for a longer cruise with a family of 5!! We will have lots of extra space. The cost to replace the undies (which I do before we travel, so we come home to drawers full of clean undies) is well worth the extra space for us.


Karen

 

[granmaz]

My old undies are comfy though!!!

 

[taysmom]

Just want the link booked already....see you on 4 until it's complete!

 

[Making_Memories]

Glad people found our new home! I can't believe how many posts we have so far! We will be thick as thieves by the time the cruise gets here.

Ok ok cheesy I know but cute, yes?

 

[lillygator]

you guys don't mind grundy undies?? I have already packed my new ones...I am not sure if I could do that and they don't take up that much space do they?

 

[granmaz]

Grundy undies? I like it!!!

Well, I actually wouldn't wear really bad ones on holiday - just in case, you know!!!!

 

[granmaz]

Ok, we're officially here now!!!

 

[granmaz]

Well it is past my bedtime here. Only here because there is a good programme on tv I think - well John is glued. Too complicated for me.

 

[granmaz]

will be saying goodnight then. Enjoy chatting.

 

[granmaz]

Not that there seems to be anyone around!

 

[Making_Memories]
