Nice car Heather! Who makes it?? My hope is to one day have a Corvette, Mustang, or Camaro. Elaine eventually wants a motorcycle so I may have a debate on my hands!!!

BTW, who makes it? I don't recognize the logo.

It's a Renault (French) car.

Hi Chris

 

[captchris]

Anyone else watching the oil price?

What's the date again? 17th Sept?

Let's hope it stays below that $70 threshold!

 

[GOS]

So....lets hope she comes on. I think she would enjoy it, she just has to get over that initial hump.

Come on Elaine.....we'd love to chat to you

Back in the 80s, Renault's were imported to the US. Haven't been since though. Now that Chrysler and Fiat merged, we will be seeing hot little Fiat's gracing our shores.

Fiat 500 are all the rage at the moment.

If the oil price is below $70 at a certain date, then those of us that paid a fuel surcharge on our booking get an on-board credit on our account. If it is above $70 then no on-bard credit and I think that those that didn't pay a fuel surcharge get billed.

Someone will be along if I'm wrong

Some of us when we booked our cruises had a fuel surcharge added. Now that oil is down from its high last summer, DCL has said they will be examining the price of oil quarterly, and if oil is below a certain lever ($70/barrel) they would reimburse the surcharge in the form of OBC. If you booked right after KK1, I am guessing you don't have the surcharge added.

Great car, Heather!! I especially love the color!!

Have a great time at the b-day party, Cass!


We are still staying at the Radisson (we don’t know any better!) But we are getting a taxi from the hotel to the port since we currently have shuttle ressies for 10:30 and I want to get there as soon as the port opens!


So sorry about the “stuck photo card” in the computer!! Glad you were able to get it out, though!


Great pictures, Rose!!!! It looks like Lori, Scott and you and Bob all had a great time!

How do I find out if I paid it or not? I booked a dummy date onbaord then transferred it as soon as this cruise became available

Would it be on my paperwork?

Yeah, and this week is pretty busy for me so it will fly by. I am in meetings all day tomorrow, possibly Yankee game on Wednesday (if my tickets don't sell on stubhub), and then Elaine will be going away for the weekend. She is taking kids to a youth retreat.

Next weekend we are going to Ohio for her brother's wedding so busy times for us!

Your personal travel consultant who is a regular contributor to this thread could probably answer that for you based on the price of your cruise.

Hows everyones weight loss going? - I weigh in tomorrow morning

I've been good MOST of the week, but we've eaten out twice. I wanted to lose 2lb this week, but I think I'll just stay the same
