10/24/2009 Bash on the Boat - Thread #1

[millerpjm]

For those of you who asked about linking dining ressies...

We had 10 different ressies linked and while we had some glitches the first night (half of our party were at one table while half were at another) after it was all settled, it was great! We got to see several KKers every night!

Some people had requested certain things (like their own table just to themselves) so what I did was send a VERY detailed email to my TA, with all names, cabin numbers, ressie numbers and all special requests.

The funny thing was when the online ressies opened, all of us were linked, so when I registered Kira in Flounders, it asked me who (of all those ressies linked) we would like to be able to pick up Kira!

I would definitely do the linking again, that was a lot of fun just seeing each other even just to say hi every single night

Cass, thanks so much for posting this!

I'd love to get some ressies linked - we've got lots of time to get this all organized....

An FO on Page 13? That's unlucky.

Hey Jen, I sent you a PM.

Ok - we took the 2007 cruise, are signed up for the same week in 2008 (10/24-11/1) and am sure we'll want in for 2009.

My question is should we book now, or wait for the onboard discount in 2008. what is the better deal?


Decisions, decisions.

HELP!

 

[JLDSMD]

Ok, just in case we change our minds (KKers are very persuasive ) I put in a request for a quote for 6134.

Dreams is offering double OBC ($200 for cat 7) and the $50 for CC members kind of make up for not rebooking onboard.

Well, with all you grouped on deck 5 Forward, makes it easy for Dis Tag

And hey, I can always pray for a hurricane so we can get diverted

I won't doubt that our luck from the last cruise may run out. Ask Chris how his second cruise was. I heard it was rough.

Either way, glad you decided to hop onboard. Hope it works out for you.

Hi Carrianne,

Where are you from in WI?

It depends on how much the cruise goes up. You may want to book it now and when you get on board, see what the rebooking price is. If the rates go up by more than 10%, keep the current ressie. You can always drop the one you book now. Or, if the rates didn't go up much, have the CM apply it to your ressie.

Were you on the 10/20/07 with us?

Thanks for the insight.

I was on the 10/20 with you - but I hadn't gotten on the boards until right before and right after. So we we kept to ourselves a bit. Sociable but not really hanging with anyone.

BUT, that can change .

We had an awesome time on the 10/20 cruise. My first ever, and frankly it has spoiled me.

Now I booked my first through Mouseearsvacations, but are the deals better through someone else.

I have a huge desire to get booked for 2009!!

Hey Jen, I sent you a PM.

Got it

Hey, you're just trying to get me back for stealing your FO earlier today!

 

[Verandah Man]

Actually you had one back on page 9 or something like that, you just didn't claim it.

My Bad, I was so busy trying to catch up on the thread, I didn't even notice..........

Hey Karen, how did we do last night? Do you have enough to read through?

Welcome to yet another Wisconsinite!! Hope you hop on the Konked Kruiser II cruise!!

Alright Mike! I'm about as amped up for the cruise as I am for the company! Another thing that I'd like to get together is linking dining ressies for any who are interested. We can have a late crowd and an early crowd. I really would have like to dine with KK'ers last time.

We did this on 10/20/07 cruise ... we had to call DCL, then fax a letter with all parties, rooms and names included (they're mainly interested in the name the room is booked under) to get tables near each other. We only had 17 people in our party though. You might be able to get the majority of the dining rooms!

Hi Andy... We haven't been formally introduced. I'm Robin, also known as Tart Girl, Sweet Tart and Mike's (Dyerneeds) dw.

Nice to meet you.

Now, where did you say you're house was?

Hi Robin.

Oh, I should mention, our vacation "home" is just a two bedroom "mobile home" but the ground it sits on is 100x150, so everyone can bring their tents..........Just have to watch out for the local Bobcats.........

 

[JLDSMD]

Hey Karen, how did we do last night? Do you have enough to read through?

Not this again. Are we going to be able to keep up with her needs?

 

[JLDSMD]

My Bad, I was so busy trying to catch up on the thread, I didn't even notice..........

Guess that means you're +1 for the one you got and -1 for the one you missed. That make you a 0 Andy.

 

[JLDSMD]

Welcome to yet another Wisconsinite!! Hope you hop on the Konked Kruiser II cruise!!

This thing may be more lopsided than the KK1 thread with WIers.

 

[JLDSMD]

Who's going to steal it?

ME!!!! FO #3.

That's O.K. Andy, the host always gives up the bedrooms. Just be careful outside.

You got me there!!!

We bought the mobile home off of my mom, once I retire, Hazel and I are having a new double wide manufactured home installed and having the old mobile home removed. But, that won't happen until at least sometime in 2010 or 2011 at the earliest.

200 posts on the first day. That is just insane.
