10/15/2011 - Taking the West by Magic!

[The Browns]

I am almost positive Jim and I are in for two wristbands as well. I'll confirm that with him and see if Amy & Bobby (Kebede) are in as well. Is Becker5 in for the FE? I thought I read somewhere they were and I had them added in my count. I could be wrong because I was working on that list super late. lol.

Yep, they are, if you want to PM me your e-mail I'll send you the spreadsheet I set up for the FE list. I'll also put you guys down for the wristbands, for 2 right now.

Yep, today's the last day, barring any additions this afternoon, we're sitting at 15 cabins, with 29 adults and 19 children, 10 boys and 9 girls. The ages break down from 13 to 18mos.

You can send me over your cabin numbers and e-mails whenever you're ready, just PM it to me. I'm missing information for you tink, Atheneze, bunny, and e-mail address for Lysand, TheBrowns and becker5. I also need an e-mail for Joyjanet so I can send out the spreadsheet. I've put GTY for my stateroom since I don't have it yet. If anyone else is GTY, they usually don't assign staterooms until about 45 - 30 days out so we'll update as we get them.

Also, if anyone is planning on trying for an upgrade at the port, let me know and we'll figure out how to handle stateroom number changes. I've got a whiteboard that I'm going to bring along, or, once we get staterooms then we can use the wavephones to text any changes.

Ivet, between the two of us, we can get the maps of the decks marked before the cruise and e-mailed out too. I'm thinking I'm going to mail my FE gifts down to save on luggage space, I haven't done this before, but lots of folks have.

I sent you my email address last week. Sent it again. Hope you get it.

You did, and I got it, and then didn't pay attention like I should have. I even put it in the spreadsheet, and totally missed it when I was looking earlier. Like I said, I need a vacation!

 

[MouseMadness]

anyone else out there waiting for reservations to open up???

 

[The Browns]

YES!!!

 

[amazingact21]

Whoooo! Just booked our Palo dinner. Tuesday (Grand Caymen day) at 6:30pm. Can't wait for DF to wake up tomorrow and see the text confirming our spot. He's been looking forward to Palo for awhile now.

 

[MouseMadness]

can't figure out online check in...what am I doing wrong???

 

[Onkel Hans]

I don't think online check-in is ready for us yet. I have heard that it is not available sometimes right away (at midnight).

We got all of our excursions and spa appointments taken care of! I couldn't get Palo dinner for our anniversary, but the day after is close enough I was hoping to get a Palo brunch too, but that might have been gilding the lily, LOL. I hope everyone got what they were hoping for, too!

 

[The Browns]

Palo brunch was not available so we got dinner on the Key West night. Perfect! I also hit Flounder's for our daughter to use during the week. It was wide open. I booked some 7pm times for her so I'm hoping that we can get done with dinner in enough time to get her there by 7pm.

PS)- I PM'd our email address. Also, go ahead and put us down for 2 more bracelets for the Kebedes. Thank you!

 

[Onkel Hans]

On-line check in is now open (probably opened at 3:00 AM), for any of you nuts who are up this late/early.

And maps to the meet...

I got you added, and also added the Kebedes to the bracelet list.

 

[amazingact21]

Maps look very helpful, Onkel Hans! Thanks so much for posting them, I'm definitely going to use them.

 

[The Browns]

on the maps and for adding Bobby & Amy! Thank you! Now, this morning the whole Sea Lice thing was brought to my attention so I've been reading up on it. Ew. HAHA.

Oh- i see you have a little girl too! My DD Sienna will be 18 months for the cruise and i have her in the nursery too! Hope to see you guys at the meet as I would love to have a playmate for her.

 

[The Browns]

Tinkerbelx, yes our Daughter just turned 2 a few weeks ago. We'll be at the first day meet but not the Palo one. Our son, 5, will be in the kids club with our best friend's kids (7 & 5).

We did a double-dip (2 stops at Castaway Cay) in October of 2009 and never had any issues with Sea Lice. Did snorkeling and hanging out on the beach and in the water both times. I know it's happened, but the times I've been there it hasn't been a problem.

Just for those who are curious, Sea Lice are larval jellyfish that can cause a rash on people when they get into swim suits. There is a creme that you can buy that is supposed to keep them from stinging you, but I've never bought it, we just usually shower off as soon as we get back on the ship because of dinner and don't have an issue. Now, getting sand out of swim suits, that's a whole other problem!

 

[The Browns]

Good to know. I'm sure the sand trails back to the ship run deep HAHA!

 

[ivet]

Nope. No luck. It says 75 days but reservations aren't open yet.

It says 75 days left, but it won't allow any planning. Boy, that was exciting for a bit!

WHEWwwww I was going be upset ... about that one. But I am glad you two checked.
