04/27/11 DCL's WONDERful LA-VANCOUVER REPO ON THE WAY TO ALAKSA

[seaulater]

Hey Ken, regarding the deposits on the kiddos, just an FYI, I was adding some peeps to my ressies for repo and alaska and was told that I could add them at any point along the way and just pay the prevailing price for that person. I recall that it was mentioned here that you might not be able to do that and that you ran the risk of increase on your whole groups prices. That just seemed odd to me, so I asked and was told not true. I'll need to add one more for Alaska, but I'm not sure if we will all cram in one room or not at this point, so I'm not paying that extra $300 today and risking the cost increase latter. Of course the ship could fill up with peeps and I *might* not be able to add at all, but the chances of that are too slim in my mind to worry about.

I'm still bummed that Alaska is asking so much for deposit but oh well, what ya gonna do???

I'm so glad you guys are coming along

Oops just saw this is on the repo rather than Alaska thread....why don't we just make this one thread, this is sooooo silly.

It was me, and that was exactly what they did to me when I added a person on the Easter 2008 cruise. My price went up by $500.00.

I'm glad they have changed......if that's what they've done, because sometimes you get different statements from different cast members when calling DCL.

 

[seaulater]

Yes, I take care of my peeps.

Ken and I had been chatting about it.

There was a lot of chatter and noise, and as the folks who know me know, I hate supposition. My work-life is all about cutting through supposition and drilling down to facts.

You can't manage with supposition. You can have fantasies, dreams, confusion and angst with supposition.

Now sometimes, if let's say, you are analyzing exactly what DH Lawrence meant in a particular paragraph, you have to use supposition and inference because, unless it has been documented elsewhere, you can't call up DH Lawrence and ask him. He's dead.

After chatting with Ken I called DCL and asked. I am always surprised why people speculate rather than just asking, when the source of information is so readily available.

I deal with this at work on nearly an hourly basis. It amazes me even more when someone starts spinning and all they need to do is walk 3 cubes over and ask.

So, ne net Nan, my little fact-based gal, is (as she so often is) correct.

See my response above, because DCL did change my price when I added another person, it was not speculation.................

We're on the B2B!!!!



Will send info later.

How do you do the blinking countdowns in your signature? Would love to know. Thanks.

How do you do the blinking countdowns in your signature? Would love to know. Thanks.

Go to www.**************. You need to create your separate countdown banners first. Then go to "Rotating Banners". You should see both banners in the "Added Banners" space. Just click on Create and your rotating banner will be created, along with the code you need to insert it in your signature. HTH!

[Janis]

Thanks, Ken! One day closer to our cruise!

 

[MJGirl]

Thanks Janis... This makes the Signature so much better!

 

[rotary2808]

Thanks Janis... This makes the Signature so much better!

Make sure you keep up with each countdown banner's number too in case you need to make changes or add another banner. You have them emailed to you or I just keep my organized in a Word document. The rotating banner like that is such a space saver.

 

[DisneyPinDiva]

Yeah!!!! Janis and Ron are onboard!!! That means all our Matey's will be sailing together again! Look out DCL!!!
Georgie... I think we're going to need table 23 this time though.. we've got a few extra Mateys coming too...

My DH already posted our status!
The credit card won't look too good on the next statement, but its nice to have it all booked and done.
I just read through the whole thread. It looks like there's different groups that have cruised together before. Last time, I let DH do all the disboards stuff and I didn't join in until a month before the cruise; but this time, I'm going to try and stay up to speed myself instead of getting everything secondhand from him

Very hard to stay focussed at work, much more fun to read cruise threads!

Hello!

Just booked our first cruise on the repo cruise.

PM'd our info to bonzie1 -- thanks for keeping track of this! And thanks to whoever made the clippie -- already snagged it.

I have lots of reading to catch up on this thread but, alas, will have to wait until tonight. Someone needs to work to pay for this cruise!

Anyone that sailed on the 2008 WB PC cruise probably knows that I like to do up signs when the inspiration strikes. I tend to make them so they can fit on business card-sized magnets but a few people have taken them and modified themto make them fit on what they want to. An example of one I made is the "Magnificent Deck 7 Crew" in my sig.

I know many of the "Thieves" are wondering when I'll make my first one, and I hate to disappoint. So here are three I whipped up this morning.

I think this is the right thread to put them in. Feel free to copy as you want.

A little tongue in cheek for us OCD ppl. I'll try and update it at various points.

Not sure why you would want a larger version but here it is.

And one more for right now:

And the larger version can be found here.

I don't think I'll be able to keep up with this thread. I have two cruises before this with threads I write on and this and Alaksa oh boy am I in trouble

Hi Lisa! glad to see you found this thread!

My darling DH is torturing me!

He knows the pictures don't come through on my internet at work, and he won't even tell me what's on them. He figures I should be working at work, instead of dis'ing.

They're good!

Yay, we're officially booked!

Does anyone get Sunset magazine? For anyone who's not going on to the Alaska cruise, and planning an extended tour of BC, the September issue had some amazing coastal inns/cabins. Though they're not exactly next door to Vancouver (2-5 hours away?), the pics look amazing and peaceful.

Great news, Brandi! It's going to be an awesome trip...

They look so beautiful...

On this occasion we're planning to extend the trip pre-cruise as those are precious Easter dates and I can drag DH away from the office for fun without any repercussions...

At the moment I'm thinking of a short San Diego stay - maybe Hotel del Coronado for a couple of nights before heading up to Anaheim and Disneyland...

 

[BibbidyBobbidyBoo]

Okay Bonzie- we're on for the B2B!
I'll pm you the info.

AND we managed to get sideways cabins
AND we managed to get the same rooms for both cruises
AND added bonus- we were able to get our TA 10gty room switched to a SPH room!
I know that's unrelated to this thread but I had to share- so excited! LOL
