11/22/08 Thanksgiving 2008 cruise thread. Double Dipping Travelling Turkeys!

[lexandme]

Your sign looks great also, we have a lot of creative people on this cruise.

Or this?

For some reason this one didn't go through.
I know someone did one with a turkey but I just can't find it.

Ken - Is this what you were looking for?

THATS IT! Did you put it together? It looks great. Only thing is its still got Costa Maya on it. I was REALLY looking forward to going there.

That would be me. I changed the Costa Maya to Grand Cayman, but at the time there was some question about which day we were going to be there, so I didn't post it. I know it doesn't really matter where I put the ports on the sign, but I'm a bit of a perfectionist and had to wait until I knew for sure. So are we going Cozumel first and then Grand Cayman?

Here's what I found out, I called DCL again last week, I was told Cozumel on Tuesday, Grand Cayman on Wednesday, that is what porttime.com has listed and what my TA is telling me. If you log on to the DCL site and click on my reservation, it shows the itenerary as Cozumel on Tuesday and Grand Cayman as Wednesday also.

Thanks, I'll go with that then.

Ken you're killin' me! It took me 3 weeks to figure out how to put together a countdown ticker and even then I didn't get it right!

 

[Happy4Disney]

Love the sign! It will make some great magnets!

 

[griswalds]

Who did you book through?

I booked straight thru DolphinDiscovery.com (after much reading on the boards). If you have 4 or more people in your party you get a transportation voucher for your taxi fare. Everyone says it's no more than a 15 min taxi ride so I booked mid morning so I'd have wiggle room either way. There is a 7 day cancellation window if we change our mind before we go, and if the ship misses the port due to weather they will also refund.

Sandy,

The sign looks great!

Does anybody have any words of wisdom on these magnets? I bought a pack of 5 at Staples for $13. They ain't cheap and its beer money out of my pocket if I mess them up!

Always print a test copy in black and white on regular paper to make sure the spacing is ok and there are no errors. Only do one sheet at at a time, I know that sounds stupid but the little buggers stick together until about half way, then they jam in the printer. (Insert smiley smacking themselves on the forehead here).

 

[seadooken]

Cool, Thanks!

Not that I am on the list of lucky people, but 105 day reservations start this weekend! I booked this cruise 2 years ago and I am finally starting to feel the downhill slide!

We're in for the gift exchange and fish extender as well! I'm excited about this. We've never done anything like this on our cruises before, but I think my kids will have a lot of fun with it. Now, I just have to figure out what to put in everyone's fish extenders! We're room 2108 and it will be DH, myself, DD13, and DS10.

By the way, if there is someone who has no talent like myself , there is a lady that sells fish extenders on ebay. She has several posts that really compliment her work over on the WDW threads. I'm anxious to get mine! She's personalizing it with our family name and then each pocket will have the name of a family member. She has a slide show she can send you to give you lots of different ideas. Just thought I'd share.

I go back to work on Thursday. I'm starting a brand new job and am scared to death! I'm getting my master's degree in Instructional Design & Technology, and I will be the new technology teacher for two schools. Apparently they didn't know when they hired me that I really don't know that much about technology. I think I'll be ready for November!

Thank you.

I always do a color draft before I print on magnet paper. I have a stupid printer and the heads get clogged sometimes and the color ink doesn't come out right. I was thinking about printing on card stock this time and sticking cheaper magnets to the back. I haven't decided yet.

Has anyone else noticed that our cruise isn't listed on DCL's website anymore? I like to look it up periodically (okay--every day ) just to see what categories are still available, and it's not there and hasn't been for several days. When you click on the 7 night to Costa Maya, it comes up with some sort of message that says there's been an error. It's not listed as a 7 night western with two stops at CC either. I just wondered if anyone else has been watching DCL's site like I have been and found that to be weird. Surely our cruise isn't sold out yet. There were quite a few categories left when I checked about a week ago.

 

[Zandy595]

My TA's site (All Seasons) shows categories 5, 6, 8, 9, and 11 open. When I checked a couple weeks ago only 5 and 6 were open.

BTW, good luck with your new job.

Thank you! I'm hoping that by Thanksgiving I will be able to say "I LOVE MY NEW JOB!" If not, I can always go back to the regular classroom.

Magnets? You guys print the sign into magnets? I'm still trying to figure out what to do for the FE! Embroidery? I need "Crafts 101".

Susan - Good luck with the new job! I'm sure you'll love it.

Teresa - Friday night -Steelers/Eagles!
