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

[DL1957]

Fellow cruisers, I leave DH and the 4 legged kids on Thursday headding to SF for SF Giants home opener. If you have anything you want me to check out I will try my best to get it acomplished! Speaking of gloves you may have a use for then in SF depending upon the weather. Two years ago when I went out for baseball in April I forgot my gloves and could not find any at the stores because they had spring stuff in. So I got garding gloves!
Better than nothing. Have a great week everyone! Sue

 

[bonzie1]

We're nearly there!

We have arranged for private, deluxe motorcoach to transport DISers (and hoards of luggage) DIRECTLY to the San Pedro cruise port, on the morning of April 27th. We will NOT need to go back to the airport, merely to board another shuttle to the port.

The following reservations have been made, and payment has been received from:
SDLong329, 3
StaciePS, 3
DisneyPinDiva, 2
DisForEver, 1
Bonzie1, 2
FirstTimers, 2
MilliesMum, 2
WestCoaster, 5
CastawayFan, 7
DMMarla07860, 2

Based upon those staying on (and off) Disney property, Disney's Paradise Pier Hotel (near Disney's Grand California Hotel) seems to be the most convenient location to meet. Those not staying on Disney property should consider utilizing their hotel shuttle service to Disneyland (with luggage, and ask if they can drop you off at Paradise Pier).

Those taking the motorcoach are asked to BE AT PARADISE PIER HOTEL ... COMPLETE WITH YOUR LUGGAGE, AND ALL MEMBERS OF YOUR PARTY by 7:45AM (April 27th). We estimate boarding the MOTORCOACH to begin at 7:45AM, with departure from Paradise Pier at 8:15AM. PLEASE BE ON TIME! If 40 people show up at 8:15AM, we will NOT be able to leave on time. Paradise Pier Hotel has been notified of our "escapade", and will enable DISers to congregate in a section of the lobby with our luggage

If you do not have a reservation, but would like to ride the motorcoach ... seats (AND LUGGAGE SPACE) are available on a *space available* basis. Please contact Steven or Donna (SDLong329) via PM, prior to April 20th. Afterwards, the cost will be $20 per person (cash, exact change requested, at the bus).

If you need to reach us in Disneyland (beginning April 23rd), please contact Paradise Pier Hotel, (714) 999.0990, and ask to be connected to our room (Steven & Donna Long). Please leave your name, as well as hotel and cell phone numbers, and we will try to reach you ASAP.

Thank you,
Steven and Donna Long

Thanks for the Update!

I've added this to the MEGA LIST and updated the FIRST PAGE of our thread.

 

[DL1957]

I keep meaning to post this information. If you want the best Irish Coffee at a great local SF hangout you need to go to the Buena Vista and it is not that far from the pier! Here is link to their website: http://www.thebuenavista.com/home/home.html
If you meet my DH on the cruise ask him about our first trip there when we were in college! Sue

Not sure what kind of update you need Bonzie. We are still going and still have the same stateroom number (so far as I know, my travel agent hasn't given me my documents yet).

We have arranged our own transportation from Anaheim to the port. If there is anything else you need to know, just post or PM me.

 

[lozzypop]

Oh, we are main dining BTW.

Hi! Thanks! We have all of your information.

These updates are for Bob. He needs to make corrections/additions. I am helping him along with the info I have.

 

[sdlong329]

For those staying at Disneyland prior to the REPO cruise ... I had someone ask about the possibility of canceling their April 27th, noon shuttle through Disney (to the cruise port), and also asking about gratuities on the motorcoach.

1) It is my understanding, the *DCL* shuttle to the port can be canceled up to on or about April 25th (contact DCL for clarification). This would enable guests to opt for the earlier motorcoach departing Paradise Pier at 8:15am.

2) The private motorcoach (departing Paradise Pier) INCLUDES gratuities. There is NO NEED to feel obligated to tip the driver ... as a gratuity has already been calculated in the $15 per person fare ($20 cash, if paid on the 27th). Just one more way to save money (and time)!

PM me with any questions! See ya soon!

I walked by this place last month, and it was actually profiled on Drinking Made Easy on HDNet. For those interested in riding the cable cars the Buena Vista Cafe is right across from the Hyde turnaround end of the Powell-Hyde/Market St cable car line, so that will be very convenient for you.

If I have time I will be downing a pitcher of Sangria at Cha Cha Cha in the Haight. Or some mojitos from Calzone in Little Italy. Liquid lunch for me, please! Sangria is really healthy for you, so are mojitos. They both have all that fruit! Filled with vitamin C!

 

[Robin"D"]

Just wondering if anybody is going to get something going for the Royal Wedding?, it will be very early for us on board.

By the way.....Less than 3 weeks!!!

Maybe they will show it on the Jumbotron!!!

 

[sabrecmc]

In theory, I'd love to watch the Royal Wedding live on the jumbotron, holding a cup of coffee and toasting to their happiness...in reality...well, that's REALLY early.

Hi Everyone

This is the list for free custom lanyards and name badges for everyone
in your cruise group. Please take a close look at your listing and PM
me if I've made a spelling error, left someone off, wrong cruise, or if you are no longer
going on one of these cruises. Please PM me if you would rather have a different
version of your name on the badge (nickname, etc.).

PLEASE REVIEW YOUR LISTING AND PM ME IF IT IS CORRECT!
A * before your listing means your have verified the names and you are good to go - you do not have to respond.

It's very important that I hear from people on the "not confirmed" list.
I don't want to leave anyone out and I want to make sure that the names are correct!
So if you are on the "not confirmed" part of the list, please let me know if the listing is correct.

GETTING YOUR LANYARDS AND NAME BADGES
If your name is on this list (except for those on the "not confirmed" list), I have a name badge and lanyard for you. Please make an effort to pick them up.

Name badges and lanyards will be available at the following locations:

In Los Angeles:
At the terminal - I will get there fairly early - you will have to play "Where's Ken" to find me. It probably won't be to difficult - just ask the people with the special lanyards and name badges.

(I've asked Bob of BobandLee to post a picture of Shari and I to help you in your quest to find me)

On Deck 10 - Starboard side (that's the right side of the ship) - overlooking the Goofy pool from 2:30 to 3:30pm - if it's raining, I will move to the Promenade Lounge.

If we can't connect in these places, you will have to call me in room 6584 and make arrangements for pickup.

I will be giving out two sets of lanyards and name badges in Los Angeles for those doing the B2B!

In Vancouver:
Because I'm on the Repo, I cannot guarantee that I will be in the terminal at Vancouver. Therefore, I will be in the Promenade Lounge from 2:30 to 3:30.

If we can't connect at that time, you will have to call me in room 6584 and make arrangements for pickup.
