08 DEC 2007 - 7 Day Eastern Magic Part 4

[MrsMork]

I am reading the most recent Nagivators (as my DD calls them) and on the last day it talks about settling your account. It is a fact of life that many people in America and who take cruises are living beyond their means and overextended on credit. I wonder would it happen if they could not pay their final bill because they had maxed out their credit cards?

Would they be forced to stay on the ship?

They applied money from our account to our card several times during the week.

Still have 15 pg or so to catch up! That's what I get for going to sleep early!

Hey have some news. My DD 6 did her first swim meet Saturday, competing with 8yr and under and got 4th in Backstroke and 5th in 25mFreestyle and the only 6 yr or younger that beat her was the Coach's daughter that's been swimming for 2 years. DD started in August training. She's so pumped.

Wow, that's amazing, Mary. WTG for dd! I think when a kid excels that young, she must truly have a gift--good for you for spotting it and helping her along, also!

Ryan (1) got hurt today pretty bad. He fell on our playground while running and hit his cheek and nose on a wooden step. I took him to the ER. Nothing broken, he might have fractured his nose, but Dr said it's hard to tell with him so young, and there's no treatment for it anyway. I'm uploading a couple of quick pics I just took.

Ouchies! That sort of thing makes your heart stop. Glad he's recovering well, and I have to say even with that big owie, he is as cute as a dickens.

We have good days and bad ones as the worst is to change clothes 10 times per day for both of us since Soy smells so much.

OMG, I had forgotten how awful that smells...ds had a realllllly strong gag reflex and could throw up a belly full of milk for no apparent reason. Bad enough to clean up, then there's the laundry you'd rather just heave in a trash bag and seal up...wishing you THROUGH this part quickly!!

today she was offered a position at a new bank here in town!! NOW I'M MARRIED TO A SUGAR MOMMA BANKER!!!!

Congrats Tina!! And I hope she told them she needs a week off soon.

Yes, it is my understanding they take out increments of money from your credit card to cover any costs you may have throughout the whole cruise. It may have been like in $300 increments. If someone else remembers, please chime in. So, when you spend that money, they deduct more from your account. Kind of like a toll tag system, where they take $40 directly out of our checking account if our toll tag account gets lower than $10. So, there shouldn't be a case where someone gets an oops at the end of the cruise Guest Services would contact them well before the end of the cruise if there was a problem with their credit card.

Oh, ok, just wanted to post my little victory--down 2.6 lbs at Weight Watchers this week! I have a feeling it's only temporary--like, 25 days or so... But better to start from a deficit, anyway!

 

[TheTXTaylors5]

There is no deposit when you book thru DVC. You have to pay the entire amount at booking. So, if you book 2 people with points and 3 with cash you have to have the total cash for the 3, plus the $75 booking fee.

Thank you for the info. This DVC thing is still so new to me.

Since I am posting, I am obviously back from the doctor with the kids. I the person who invented the flu mist. All three of them took it without any incident. I'd like to see that with a shot. I am off to feed the kiddos . . .

Congrats !
I agree with you on needing that deficit, unless there is a seamstress onboard, I will sadly be dieting. My cheapness got the best of me at davids bridal, It was going to cost 80$ to let the top out....I wont be able to breath...but that paid for my exotic rasul!

Congrats. Yes any little bit helps. I dropped 10 since Oct 1st - I'm such not a dieter, no will power but knowing I would put it back on on the cruise. Trying to do another 5 at least by then and wishful thinking another 10 as that was my goal.

Hello All
Home from work !! I actually got off from work on time today.. That's because only my 2 assistant managers were there and it was slooooooooooow other then shipment.. Took us 2 hours to unload the boxes off the pallets.. When I left there were still a ton of boxes that needed to be opened, unpacked, shelved or put away.. We knew it would be a big one cause we were out of everything..

I am going to make a post about our Secret Mickey exchange.. I just need time to type it up.. I also need to go back about 20 pages of fluff and posts to catch up to you all..

Back in a bit..

 

[coastgirl]

Is it just me? I've been trying to get in to my reservation off and on today and still haven't managed to get in. And, for the record, can I say I hate the way the site "blames" you for putting in the numbers or whatever wrong when it's a glitch at their end? grumpy gus here...

 

[JoiseyMom]

You can be assigned to a table as big as 10 I think. Your table mates are other cruisers who rotate with you to different tables. It depends on the size of your party, and if you linked your dining reservations with anyone else. Except in Palo, there are very few tables for two in the main dining rotation I think.

Tables can be bigger than 10...as of now we are a table of 15

 

[JoiseyMom]

WOW I just ordered and paid double that - guess I ordered a few days too early.

BTW where's this bargin thread?

Its the budget board...like we are cruise meets. Its here on the Dis.

They waived the $75 fee for the Member Cruise

I have had problems on and off all day with the website. It could be worse, it could be a really bad day.

Good for you Joanne! I know you've really been working on it. And more importantly, you've been working out so you are healthier.

 

[AmberDaClown]

We have a new infestation of ladybugs in our home. A couple of hundred of them around the front door and window over the foyer. I know they are a good insect, but it gets annoying having them drop on you while you go in and out.

Good for you Mary! For someone with "no will power", that's really an accomplishment.
