WoW I go to a Mets game with DH, come back and had to read 9 pages to catch up to you all.. Good Job Chatter Boxes.. Mets Won

OK so I will go to the hair Salon first thing.. Ick I hate doing things like that.. ANYWAyyyyyy Ive never been to the Salon and since DH & I will be all alone this trip I thought for Formal night, a hair-do treat to myself would be very nice..

As for Palo... ok is there a reason behind why you all chose Wednesday?? Just curious is all.. I thought Monday would be nice since it is an at Sea day.. Something nice to break it up a bit.. Or are you just all trying to avoid me?

So the "KIDS" made the DCL trip boring.. They should definately try again and do what "they" want to do and not let the "kids" spoil the adults fun.. WoW thats a little backwards..

Im glad your Hubby got to Disney safe and sound..

I think Im going to try to request a Palo High Tea for me and DH.. We've never done that either..

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!! TO THE SPECIAL COUPLES!!

I havent worked on my magnetic sign for our door as of yet But I did get magnetic paper and a roll of Magnet so when I cant figure out the magnetic paper I have a back up plan

Congrats to all on getting 2000 posts... and to think we still have 3 more months to go

Sorry you are still having reservation problems.. we all freaked out last night when the site was giving us all problems..

Did I miss anything

 

[pfishgirl]

I knew I should of did it last night..


oh well.. maybe I will luck out and someone will cancel...

Here is our reasons for Wed at Palo. First three nights are the themed nights in the dining rooms...the only night they do the "show" in Animators. Since there is no way to know for sure which night we will be in Animators, and I like the themed nights in the other 2 also I don't choose any of those first 3 nights at Palo. Tuesday is Pirate Night and we do not want to miss the dining room for that because the atmosphere is fun- even thought you could do an early dining in Palo and still make it to the Pirate party. Thursday is LOBSTER night - YUM!!! Although they do have lobster at Palo that night, we really like trying the things on Palo menu, so lobster night we want to be in the dining room. Friday night is the last night aboard and we are usually attached to our servers by then and want to spend one last night with them. If I could not get Wed, Fri would be my back up.

Just our likes though. Palo any night would be wonderful! If we were not traveling with others that have never been we would not worry about the first 3 nights so much.

You can try again at the 45 day mark at midnight. They hold some back that they release for those folks. You can also book on board. I'm sure you will be able to get in one of those ways. So, you head up to the salon and send DH to book the high tea as soon as you board, then meet back up for lunch. Unless you are able to book it at 45 days. DrHug liked High Tea alot and so did I. We will probably do that again at least once on the Panama Canal cruise.

I guess im spolied.. cause we are on DCL Wonder in 2 weeks and will be in the normal dinning rotation since we will be with a couple that have never done it before.. sooooooo I chose Monday for us not to miss formal night or pirate night.. pluse we are doing excursions on Tuesday & Wednesday and don't want to have to rush to shower, change and race to a reservation..

I will try again for Tea at the 45 day mark..

This is our tenth DCL cruise so we have done the dining rotation lots, but we often seem to have newbies with us and want to share that experience with them. It would be nice to go on a sea day when you are not rushed. Maybe someday......

Hi all,

I like to check in periodically, but its been months since I've posted anything. We would like to be involved with fish extenders. Let me know who I need to contact with that info.

I have a question about Palo. We decided to sign up for a brunch. I signed on today to reserve (first day I can try), it only shows Thursday available. Is that the only day they do it, or are all other days full.

They have brunch on all sea days. Sun, Mon and Thurs. Thursday is all that is available right now. They release more times at the 45 day booking for folks who book then and they hold some back for onboard booking for folks who do not use the web. Yes, there are still a few of those! So, if you want a different day, go ahead and book the Thursday just to make sure you do get a time, then try to modify it at the 45 day mark, at midnight EST or go to the Palo booking desk as soon as you board and ask if they can reschedule you to one of the other days.


And welcome back!

OK, I finally got the problem resolved and got everything booked!

I let Jim make most of the choices this time, so--it's dinner at Palo on Thursday (he wanted to do it on a day at sea), brunch on Monday (to be cancelled if we get the private room) and two excursions, but right now I don't remember which ones! And I decided to treat myself to a manicure for formal night. I've never been to the spa, in fact, have never even seen it, so this will be a treat for me. I booked it at 4 PM because I know that's what time Jim will be taking his nap.

Now it's off to work--I spent too much time catching up on this thread and just realized that I'm still in my blue fluffy slippers. I can't wear those to the office!

As for Palo... ok is there a reason behind why you all chose Wednesday??

I finally chose Wednesday, because I didn't want to miss the 1st night in the dining room, the 1st night in Animators, formal and semi formal nights with DD, pirate night, or the last night. Sooo, that left Wednesday or Thursday. Since we're at sea on Thursday, I figured that would be a good night for DB and his DW to do a romantic dinner. I didn't think he wanted to see his sisters at the next table over

So,DSis, DF, and I were left with Wednesday! Since we leave St Thomas early, we should have plenty of time before dinner.

This is my 4th cruise with DCL, but first time at Palo!

3000!

I'm chatty, but I don't know if I am THAT chatty.

Don't underestimate yourself Jennifer

You Go Girl!!

Yeah, what's that all about I would've taken the kids to the club, said "stay here while I go out and have fun, and don't have me paged!"

Hello!
If you post your info here, I'll put it on the cruise blog (see the link below my signature block). You can also post on the secret santa thread. It'll help if you do both so everyone can update their lists (we're already shopping )

Also we decided to use stockings instead of fish extenders in keeping with the holiday theme. Plus we can buy bigger stuff!

 

[JsMom2]

12 more Mondays until the 1st Guacamole Cheeseburger at Plutos!

Yesterday was interesting....

I got up early (for a Sunday) so I could get DSis' ressies booked. And as we all know, THAT turned into quite the dramatic experience

And ended the day by staying up late (for a worknight) to race for the 2K

What a charmed life. The worst of my worries are whether or not I can get dinner reservations or win a pirate smiley

 

[JsMom2]

I actually had a little bit of cruise-related drama today.

I pulled up my NW airline reservations to find that my 2-leg itinerary between Brussels and Orlando had been changed to 3 legs in each direction. And I wouldn't be arriving in Orlando until 10pm on the 6th!

The short version of the story is that I switched to United. We now have 2 non-stop flights on each day, and I saved $800. I had enough Frequent Flyer miles in my UA account to still upgrade to Business class on the overseas flights. So life is good!
