11/13/04 Eastern Cruise only We Did It

mrsmg · Nov 2, 2004

Adisneymama, Aubrey's BC should be fine. If you can feel the seal when you run your finger over it than they will too. Don't waste your money on another one :earsgirl:

I can't believe we leave in 8 days :earseek:

My DD's DMIL and DFIL have decided to go so we are now a party of 13 :Pinkbounc

!!! My family still thinks I'm nuts because I'm so obsessed but I think they are getting just as excited as me as we get closer because they are starting to talk about it more and more. We also had a problem with the high school about letting my two teens take off from school. They gave us the third degree. :mad:

My family is also getting very excited (just beginning to catch up to me!). I just recently informed my DDs 5th grade teacher of our trip (by e-mail) and asked for any extra work for my DD. His reply was to have a great time but school policy is not to provide any work during illegal absences. I saw him today and he told me not to worry about it as DD is a good student but he also provided me "off the record" with some things for her to do on the plane ride down from N.Y.

Okay, that's the way I have it on my spreadsheet. So is it that the Captain's Gala is actually Semi-Formal or is it that the Captain's Gala is on Sunday? Obviously I'm still confused. I had it as each of first three nights is the regular menu for each restaurant (whichever one you are in) and then the last four are the different menus but everyone has the same each night. Is that right? :confused:

Thanks MrsMG...I read another thread on here that some states don't even do the raised seal, so I feel like hers should definitely work! Hey, I'm obssessed to, so don't worry! LOL

Ok, have a good one everyone, going to try to pack some more!

From what I was told by DCL, you don't have to have a raised seal. Some states don't do them at all(sounds like maybe your state is one of them) as long as you have an "original" not a photocopy you are fine. Sounds like the color seal would prove it is not a photocopy. Does it also say this is to certify this is a copy of.....blah,blah with the signature (or stamp) of the person certifying it? IF so I really think you are fine. Call DCL if your still not sure, but I wouldn't panic. Didn't mean to cause a panic on here. Sorry!

Yes, we voted today! Will probably stay up all night waiting on the results too. ::yes::

Tara, check the matrix on hanno's website. from memory, i believe it goes menu/Best of Menu (formal)/menu/tropicali-pirate/menu/Captn's Gala menu/Small World menu/McDonald's on I-95. amid tears.

ok, re: birth certificate. The whole raised seal issue on these boards had me freaked. So I called DCL, described DH's BC, and they said it would be fine. Of course, I still have fears that someone at PC will say it's no good, but the reality is, it IS his original, city-issued BC, still in the original envelope w/ the 1963 post mark. If I hadn't read about the "raised seal" deal, i never would've panick ed in the first place. oy.

re: New Guy... WELCOME!!! :wave2:

To save you from reading: we are fun folk, all ages, singles and couples, some with kids (small to grown), some without, scattered all across North America (welcome back Heather!). So, something here for everyone! If you are as cruise-obsessed as we are, you will be in good company! Dismeet 2:30 on embarkation day in the Promenade lounge.

How many hours do I have left to pack???

Thanks. I'm glad I checked...my spreadsheet is ALL wrong!! P.S. While it won't be McDonald's for me, I'm sure it will be amid tears wherever we end up!

Is there anyone else out there who has yet to receive their DOC's yet? rocadonismom still hasn't received her's and she is starting to vibrate. :confused:

She is at work till 9pm and plans to call res desk.

On the other hand S A T U R D A Y is just around the bend.

And like a rolling stone the group seems to be getting bigger, this trip is going to be out of sight.

Safty to all who are driving to Fla. Extra wings to all who fly.:space: :thewave: :thewave:

We get our docs at the port. Usually only takes fifteen minutes from start to finish--we have it down to a science.

Just curious, how does this work????
Don't you need your luggage tags to curbside check-in???
Don't you need Docs to get into the terminal???

SuzPasq · Nov 2, 2004

If I remember correctly, we get the luggage tags at the curb when we check in. Last year, I think we just showed our ID before going through the security checkpoint, and then we got all of our paperwork in the terminal.
