Nov. 28, 2009 Western - Post Thanksgiving Relaxation Cruise

[Ackjtal]

Wish I was ready to pack but starting to get it together in my head. I had forgotten about formal night until Allison mentioned it. So, now I have to go dress shopping! Ugghh! How dressy is everyone getting for formal night?



I forgot about that night too

My mother in law and sister in law have both been on cruises b/f (not disney) they say it has to be dressy

thank god i have a dress i bought for my husband's xmas yay:

its the kids i am fretting about

tee hee
hope that wasn't too sarcastic.

Na! I work with traders on a daily basis. I have a pretty tough skin.

Okay, I will keep posting so I can get to 10 and get the ball a cruisin'.

You need to post things like : Post 1, Post 2, Post 3. Do it on this thread and we'll know what you're doing.

Doesn't need to be too dressy. Some people go all out with floor length gowns. I have a cocktail length dress that I'm going to wear. DD is wearing her Christmas dress and DH is actually wearing a tux. We found a really great deal on one and it worked out to be about the same price as a suit. So he bought it. He's also going to wear it to my parents for Christmas. We are so casual at Christmas that my parents will be laughing the whole day over his tux.

Just to let you all know I have sent very quick pm’s (so please excuse the point form guys) to the following users to check if they would like to be included in the FE:

Ackjtal
Martian767
DisneyCrunch
jejojual

Also I have received the emails with changes – sorry about the kids ages muck up guys I will fix it up & re send on Sat if that’s ok, as we may have another 4 families by then.

Also someone asked a question about rooms with no kids – just look at column C – this details all the travellers in a cabin and their ages - So for example my cell has DH – 35 & Me-30, and that's it, so no kids !

But we can add an addition column that has Kids Y/N if that would make it easier for people, just let me now.

Thanks
Ness

1. Where do you live? North Bay, Ontario Canada

We went to Manitoulin Island a few years back and crossed the land bridge to go across country to Niagara Falls. I seem to remember seeing signs for North Bay as we went through. Saw my first Black Bear on that trip and also saw the beginning of the Northern Lights, but by the next night we were too far south to see them again. What we saw was beautiful, but hadn't gone to full color till after we went to bed, so we could get up early the next morning to drive.

 

[brubakersluvdisney]

I want to do the FE but I don't have enough posts to pm nessa yet.

 

[DisneyCrunch]

I never decided on the FE...I figured the deadline came and went and that made my decision for me...but now that I'm being given a second chance I can't help but think maybe we should do it...ahhhhhhhh indecision... I'll PM you tonight with my final answer Nessa...thansk for taking care of this--you must be sooooooo busy!!!!

Ready for my latest freak-out? I can't find my youngest kid's birth certificate Please oh please oh please tell me the town clerk can get me one in short order... she was born in the middle of NOWHERE so it really wouldn't be that surprising if they needed to chop down the tree to make the paper while they start grinding the bugs to make the ink while they... ... ... Could take 3 years to get a copy of a BC for all I know! It should be with all the others and it's not...I think I must have thrown it out in a recent "reorganization" of my "important stuff" The office is closed tomorrow so I have to wait till Thursday to even talk to them. There really is nowhere else in the house it could be but what do you want to bet I tear the place apart over the next 24 hours JUST IN CASE I decided on a whim to place that ONE BC in the............refrigerator?????

 

[brubakersluvdisney]

Really excited about trip. We haven't received our package yet. Spoke with TA, she said it should be here any time. Also, I haven't received Rm# yet. Will that come with package?

Documents are sent via UPS to you or your travel agent if you used one. To track your documents you need your cruise reservation number, your country & your zipcode (if using a travel agent, their zipcode) to put into this link
http://wwwapps.ups.com/WebTracking/reference?loc=en_US

Your reservation number goes in the Shipment Reference box.
This will track your documents and tell you when they will be delivered. If you used a travel agent, they will get them and should call you. With the tracking, you will know when they get them.

My documents were delivered to my TA at 1:15 this afternoon. My TA called at 3 to let me know they were there. I told him I already knew. I am picking them up tomorrow. He will probably sit me down to explain how to fill them out, just like he did last year. Last Year I already had all the stuff done online and I do this year too.

manitoulin island is beautiful - i know a lot of people who camp there

when my parents lived to the north of us - we used to get to see the beginning of the lites - but i have never been far enough north to see them in their full glory

We tent camped there. It was absolutely gorgeous. Our DS went swimming in Lake Huron and we camped in a campground just a few miles from the South Baymouth ferry landing. A customer & her husband have a summer cottage on the lake there.

We had been up once before for a day trip. We camped in Owen Sound & ferried over and they picked us up and gave us the grand tour of the island.
