Can anyone recommend a good biodegradable sunblock? We are doing the dolphin swim and the company says you have to wear biodegradable sunblock to do it so you don't harm the marine life. I did some web searches but don't have the knowledge to know what brands are good. Obviously it would also have to be waterproof and at least SPF 45.

Thanks!

Thank you Lois for the well wishes. I'm feeling a bit better today. I think it is just a virus and it's working it's way through. Thank goodness!

I still have not received my documents as of today (Saturday 8/25). We leave in two weeks! I don't want to pack until I have those wonderful pieces of paper in my greedy little hands. I thought I saw someone say that since they checked in online, they wouldn't get documents? Is this true?

If I don't get them by Monday, I'll definitely call DCL. I really want to start packing, but I'm afraid of being too soon. !!!!! I'm getting very anxious for it to be here already. Kind of like when Christmas time rolls around. Preparation and shopping and wrapping; then you are just ready for it to be here.

Well, I'm off to do some household chores, shopping, and relaxing. My one bathroom and half of family room floor is being ripped out today. Very noisy here.

til later.

Sorry I screwed up who it was that said they hadn't told their boss yet... I find that just hysterical!

Good new, cruisers! I have confirmed the movies as of today. They are:

- Wild Hogs
- Meet the Robinsons
- Bridge to Terebithia
- Pirates 3
- Invincible
- Ratatouille
- Underdog
- Pirates 2

Also, in honor of the ship having been in Europe, they WERE showing:

- The Prestige
- Casino Royale
- The Italian Job
- Moulin Rouge
- Phantom of the Opera
- Wallace and Grommit: Curse of the Warerabbit
- The Incredibles
- The Wild

This last set of movies will most likely switch out when the ship gets back home, but the top list should still be showing when we are onboard. HOORAY!!!!!

Wow, that is fantastic news. My wife and I were specifically holding off seeing Ratatouille and Underdog because we wanted to see them in the Buena Vista Theater.

Does anyone know if they have been playing High School Musical 1 & 2 on the ship as well? It's sad that I am admitting this but I watched High School Musical with my wife for the first time last week, and now I am hooked on the movies and songs. I'm a grown man and I have been walking around singing "What time is it? It's Summer Time...." See you guys in less than 2 weeks!

Aloha!

We haven't received our documents either.. and we leave in 2 weeks right along with ya... I am worried. .. called the TA and they said that Disney would send them to me UPS.. (some agreement they have that Disney send them direct).. said I should receive them today.. but nope. no go..

I am worried also....

 

[bonnielynn]

I called Disney direct and got the ups tracking number for our cruise documents, and I should have mine on Monday.. I am glad to know they are at least coming my way!!

Gotta say, I am a HUGE High School Musical fan! I am sure they will be showing in the cabins. And I know that they have a High School Musical Karoke night in Studio C.

OMG, my daughter just called to tell me she is expecting again. She will be due sometime in May. I just don't know if I am ready for this. My other grandkids are13 and 11. We were done with all the bottles and diapers. However, I know that I will not be able to get enough of this newest one but the time he or she arrives. Just wanted to pass this along. Lois

Welcome to our "little" group here!

Congrats on the surprise Grandbaby!


Just wanted to say that we haven't gotten our docs yet either and I wouldn't at all be concerned yet. They'll come any day now. You'll see!

Well, you are in Maryland and I'm in Ohio, perhaps mine will show up on Monday too. If they don't, I will definitely call DCL. I booked my cruise through Travelocity. I guess I would have to contact them if I have problems. But, you've given me hope BonnieLynn! And I thank you.
