Hi folks. We'll be meeting you at PC before we leave port. Lunch anyone?

YES! We like to eat lunch in Parrot Cay. See you there!

These t-shirts would be fine with us. $10 is certainly not excessive for a Disney shirt. Perhaps Brack can post a photo of the back of the shirts to give you an idea of what we did. He is way more techno savvy than I!

 

[MrsMork]

Thanks, Brack! You are the MAN!!

Thank you Brack!

Is it too soon to figure out if we will dock or tender in St Thomas? I hate to tender. We only tendered once (in Grand Cayman) but I did not like it. Plus I like docking because it is easier to return to the ship for lunch or anything we forgot and then back out for the afternoon.

 

[MrsMork]

We have always docked in St Thomas and St Marteen. I don't recall reading on the boards about tendering in St Thomas. Have they had to tender there in the past?

 

[plutojudy]

I read on the DIS that sometimes Disney has to tender at St Thomas and the tenders take you into the downtown area. Because of limited docking space ships have to take turns docking, so every few weeks someone tenders. That was the first I heard about it, I thought DCL always docked (other that Grand Cayman).

 

[MrsMork]

I hope we dock again. I really like being able to come and go as I please.

I read on another thread about them having to tender at St. Thomas too. I also read others that docked. I guess it all depends on how many ships are in port. If we had to tender, how often do the boats go back and forth from the ship to the dock and vice versa?
Just curious.

We only tendered at Grand Caymans once.

Hey Brack, is the verse in your signature new, or have I just missed it all this time. I like it!

I put it there about a month ago. It was after I had done a sermon using the section around that verse. It really spoke to me about making life too hard so I use it a lot now.

Thanks for noticing.

Giving us a little BUMP!

Well I have to post and state my pleasure of being a Midwest Airlines customer. We had ticketed our flight a couple weeks ago, and with Ryan had him just as a lap rider. We made some last minute changes to our plans just before booking flights, and those changes included not flying home until the 17th of December. That's his birthday, and he'll turn two.


So, I was worried about that, as the age limit is two, and with talking with some friends about a lap rider, we decided that we should see about getting Ryan his own seat. So I called Midwest today, and asked about a seat for Ryan, and the lady was really helpful, and got us set up with a seat for him at the infant price - 50% off. When she said that I told her that his birthday was on the 17th, the day flying back. She said "Oh, that won't be a problem, oh uh, I don't want you to get in a pickle, let me call management to make sure." She came back on 10 minutes later and said "I'm sorry, that took longer than it should have - we'll honor the infant rate on Ryan for you."

I just thought I'd share that with you all, I thought it was great customer service, something that's getting really hard to find nowadays with Airlines.

Kudos for them! Thanks for sharing, it is great to hear this kind of service for a change.
