Kami...Adorable pic of Liam! He is getting so big!

Ann...I am fine with the bracelet being a generic one!

I am going to get up at 3am and make our Palo ressies! Keep me posted on what you guys are able to get, and I'll keep you posted!

 

[Lisa0503]

Kammy - Liam is adorable!!!! I seriously can't believe how big he is already!!!!

Ann - Thank you so much for orgainizing the bracelets. I would be very happy with anything you want to do....

So since this is the big weekend for many of us repeat cruisers to make our ressies, I think that any of us that are die-hard enough to be awake at 3am EST should post to this thread what ressies they got.... We could LOTS of activity on this thread around 3:15 am Sunday...

Ditto to Kammy and Ann.

I only have to be up at 2am. We are in Missouri. Central Standard time.

Thanks everyone for your understanding.

Kami... Liam is sooo cute!

Just had to share: We are getting our Disney fix today, as we are re-doing
dd4's room. She is now officially growing up and wants her room changed from the classic Disney babies to "Snow White/Bambi/Forest Friends/Disney Princess" theme. We are putting up the classic Bambi border (the more colorful one) with "100 Acre Morning" blue on the top, and "Friendly Frog" green on the bottom to complete the forest look. So far - FANTASTIC - if I do say so myself. I wish I could figure out pic's so I could take some when we are all finished!!! I am adding a large tree for a 3-D effect, and I splurged to get the "fairly garden hideaway" canopy from Hearthsong.com for over her bed. DH says I am living vicariously through her - Didn't know he could read me like a book!

Hi... They are $1.50 each and I will have them with me at MCO and at the meet.
Since I'll already be on the ship, finding me will be no problem.

How cute! Now dont go over board and do what I did! I painted the entire guest bath like CC. !
I thought we all lived vicariously thru our children?

So wierd that you are re-doing your DD4's room, my DH, DM, and I did that today for my DD4. She wanted Little Mermaid. I had some bubble borders from Lowes (from Nemo theme). We had the comforter set from Target that had purples and pinks and blue, so I found curtains that are strips of fabric in pink and purple, my DM had to hem and cut them all up,(we have wierd sized windows), and I had ordered a shell shelf, and put some turquoise and purple frames with pictures in them. I had a Ariel light switch, it all came together really nice. She really thinks she is something now.

 

[Lisa0503]

How sweet.... I would love to see pics of these Disney rooms!!!! They sound so cute!!!

 

[Lisa0503]

Well, I don't know what happened to the 3am EST for making ressies but I just finished making mine and it is only 1am here on the east coast!!!! I logged on just to check and make sure that I knew where I was going and I was able to get all the ressies I wanted!!!

We have a Palo Brunch on Sunday at 11am
We have a Palo Dinner on Thursday at 6:30

I also booked us the following shore excursions:

St Martin: 12 Metre Reggatta from 8:15 - 11:30am

St Thomas: Capt. Nauticas St John Snorkeling Epedition from 7:50 - 11am

And on Castaway Cay: Couples Cabana Massage at 11am

It is a great relief to have all the reservations made. Now I really can't wait to go on the cruise!!!!

Good luck to everyone getting what they want for ressies....

 

[Bareacuda]

Ok... all you west coasters and those living in MST...
DCL website is OPEN and Im already Booked!

I booked Palo Dinner on Monday and Brunch on Thursday.
12 Metre Regatta in St Martin
Capt. Nautica in St Thomas.

 

[TLHB70]

It is 3:07 AM Eastern. Yes, I am a crazy person. I set my alarm for 3!!
I just booked us Palo dinner for Sunday night. We had hoped for 8 PM. That was not available. DH told me if 8 is not available to go later, not earlier. (He is in bed sleeping, of course. He told me this last night before bed.) So I booked 8:30. I seriously considered the 6:30, but decided to go 8:30 since we have late dining each night anyway. This will be about our regular dining time.
I haven't booked any excursions. Sadly, we still haven't made up our minds on those.

 

[tinkerbelle77]

We also were able to book early!

We have Palo brunch on Monday at 11am, Dinner on Wednesday at 6pm,
and High tea at 3pm on Thursday!

We are also doing the under 2 flags tour on St. Maarten!

Good luck to all!

Like everything else in my life, this didn't work for me. I logged in early from 11pm and kept trying until now, 3:15am, and it wouldn't let me book anything. I kept getting this....'Sorry, access to My Cruise Plans is not currently open for this reservation. Access opens 75 days prior to embarkation, 90 days prior for Castaway Club members, and 105 days prior for Concierge Guests. Also, note that access to My Cruise Plans closes 3 days before your cruise departure date.' So I was up for nothing and I'm not sure what is going on since it knows that I am a CC member and allows me onto that webpage but it won't let me book anything.

I was getting the same thing. I am finally booked now. I wanted Sunday brunch but it was gone. So we have:

Palo Brunch - Monday 10:30

Palo Dinner - Thursday 8:30

St. Maarten - Afternoon Beach Bash

St. Thomas - Doubloon Sail and Snorkel

Castaway Cay - Parking our butts at Serenity Bay with adult beverages.

 

[TLHB70]

We are probably going to book Doubloon Sail and Snorkel at St. Thomas. That is the one that we really want. We are only hesitating because of our youngest DD. She was in swimming lessons last week. I have her taking them again next week. She is a really weak swimmer. If there was a beach for her then I wouldn't hesitate at all. I just don't know if she can snorkel. If not, I don't want her to just have to sit on the boat and watch us. We still have to decide on that. We will probably do something on our own in St. Maarten. The guys plan to do a deep sea fishing trip so we girls will probably hit a beach for a while and then shop.
CC will definitely be a relaxing beach day for us. All that we will probably do is get a few float rentals.

Jennifer48, are your names linked to someone else's names? If so, could they have possibly booked you by mistake. Our reservations are linked with our friends so when I booked Palo they allowed me to check off our friends' names also. Of course, I did since we want to eat with them. Are you linked to someone that may have accidentally had your names checked?
I know that is probably not it, but I just thought that may be a possibility.

Thanks but my reservation is only linked to my DBF. I actually called him and woke him up at 3am to see if he could get in and he got the same error message. I have a bad feeling that my TA screwed us by not entering that we are CC members even though she knows we are because I booked our first cruise through her. I hope there is something left for me on Monday when I call!

 

[LoriS]

I am so excited we are officially booked as of about 10 minutes ago.

We even managed to get a veranda this time. We are just so excited. I am now going to see if I can get lucky enough to book Palo.

 

[tinkerbellandeeyore]

We booked at 8am EST this morning

I have the well being massage on Wensday at 2 and am going parasailing in castaway cay! We are all doing the Palo brunch on Monday at 11am.

The only trouble I had was booking the parasailing. It took me 3 trys to get the page loaded.
