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

[denise]

Where can I find the link to the logo that says WONDERful Repo..... Looked on the first page but it's not the one most have on there sigs.

Since we live so close to SF my DH though when it docks there overnight we could rush home and do laundry or check the mail! hahaha

Wanted to say Hi and introduce ourselves as we booked this cruise and were doing the B2B to alaska. Very excited as we switched from the PC in jan to see some new sites.
We are Threebritts
Heather
Tom
Bethany DD 12 at time of sailing.

Hoping to get added to the fish extenders and activities as well and will help out if needed.
Looking forward to meeting and seeing old friends on this cruise

Glad you are joining us Heather! Now, where's Holly? She needs to check in too!

Hello everyone!
I know it's been a while since my last check in... I guess it's about time I started getting serious about these cruises...
WELCOME to all the new cruisers!! Lots of you joining us!
Glad to see Liz and Neil are onboard!!

Only thing I have done for this cruise is our pre-cruise stay at the VGC. Booked that at the 11 month window since it's Easter weekend. Now gotta wait for SWA to open flights! I'm sure we'll have too much luggage to fly anyone else that will charge for it!! We're so spoiled living in Orlando and just having to drive to the port!!

Is the one in my sig what you are looking for. If so, I think you can just grab it by right clicking on it and saving it to your drive.

Lynn, I'm learning, I'm learning!

Any SWA veterans... when they say they are opening flights on a certain day.. does that mean like 12:01AM??

It's usually around 8AM PHOENIX time. I start checking from 7:30 on.

(oh, and until Sun 11/7 Phoenix is on the same time as LA...then we'll be on regular Mt. time)

Hi! We've booked that too - can't wait to check out the Villas... Also booked the first leg of our journey over to LAX - thank goodness for airmiles!!! Welcome to all who have joined us...

 

[threebritts]

Thanks for the welcome!
Were really glad we switched from the PC to this one and now making lots of plans beforehand , now if only DL would cooperate and let us book and get rates. I think in we are going to fly in and go to DL/CA 2 days and Knotts berry farm one day as beth wants to do the coasters there!

Anyone coming to WDW this fall? We live about 90 minutes south so are usually able to get up there for meets.

Were trying to pay off the Med cruise from last month but always do Halloween and Christmas at the parks.

People think were crazy wanting to go to Alaska and cold but after 90+ here and humidity I say bring it on!

You will definately want to bring a jacket and wear layers, Heather. It will feel quite cold to you, I think, but it will be an adventure!

 

[Lynn G]

Good Morning Cruisers!

Yes, you (we all) will want to bring jackets for Alaska. It will be much cooler than Fl and the Bahamas.

Have a great day all!

I just found out that the only hotel DCL is offering for this cruise is the Marriott LAX Airport. Now to decide whether to stay there or at the port. Advantages to both.

 

[Scott H]

The port, is my vote

The port, is my vote

Don't the people at the DCL hotels get on the ship before any staying at the port? Or was that just on the Baltic? But then again what's a few minutes?

I do have a room at the Doubletree at the port until I decide for sure.

We usually get to the port well before any dcl transport arrives.

We were the 3rd ones in the terminal and got a #2 but if you were on the DCL bus you got a blue card that allowed you to enter the ship before the # 2's. But what's a few nimutes when we have 13 nights? We'll probably stay at the port.

"The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco....."

Just remember that when packing for SF....

very true statement even though no one knows who "really" said it....

Hi all! We just booked today! Got the last OV cabin (9a) so it was guaranteed status, and looking forward to an upgrade. It will be myself and my identical twin boys... And we will likely spend a couple days before at DL if we can get a room at G.F (DVC)

We has been looking at this itinerary for a long time, but a couple months back my DH walked out on me and the boys, and instead of stopping our plans, I decided to use points and still take the boys! It will be a great trip for all of us. Soooooooooo looking forward to it! My mom lives in Vancouver, so we'll spend a couple days at the end visiting Grandma... I can't think of a better way to celebrate my turning 40 (on Mothers day a couple days after getting back).

Looking forward to getting to know you all!
