12/09/06 Cruise Continued ~ Pirating Bananas DIS Geekorama Part 2 Part 11

[pjpoohbear]

When I re-booked I received the same confirmation codes for each and every booking, and I am now on the phone with DCL about my Palo brunch.

Pj

Ps. It might all be ok, just when you are doing the change ask about palo, flounders and excursions, I did not and so ....

 

[lillygator]

Lisa - so we just paypal $100 to that email address...should we then send an email to them with our info?

Thanks!

 

[pjpoohbear]

ALL IS GOOD, all ressies retrieved!

So is it just V and me voting for the cranberry chutney/relish/sauce instead of the jelled stuff from the can (or no cranberry product at all)

I voted for the relish too.

 

[Jhalkias]

I think we would need ultra mod powers and everyone would bail on our thread waking up to that!

I am thinking about bailing NOW.

MAN you guys were busy last night!

I was going to say good morning, but soon it will be afternoon!

I have an idea to get us to 60,000 -

1. Lisa gives us all mod powers - erasing the 40 second rule
2. We chat right here on the board tonight and every Friday until the cruise.

Think she'll go for that?

Charlotte - do you have your new Mac yet?

I think I may call the travel agency and see. How do I ask without sounding completely off my rocker?

Hi, yes we are paid in full already and we would like to save even more cash by dropping down to a 12 and keeping our current Palo and excursion reservations.

 

[becka]

OK you guys were crazy last night. I had so much to catch up on!

Brandi – I hope you are feeling better this morning. You are going to be exhausted and won’t be able to stay up too late tonight for chat. Last week DH had the computer but I hope to be there tonight.

GA last night was really good. I really love this show and I also like that they seem to move the story lines along and not drag them out forever. I think Mer and McDreamy are meant to be together but give it a few episodes and something else will be in the way….like possibly a pregnancy.

For those who are keeping track we will hit 50K sometime this weekend so everyone needs to cancel their plans and sit by their computers. Actually my best friend from KC is probably coming up here tomorrow and we are going to do lunch and maybe shop a little without the kids. I am really looking forward to it so if everyone could hold off until Saturday evening it would be appreciated!

DH is taking off this afternoon so I think we are meeting for lunch and then he is probably going to take Allie in for some shots. I know she needs them but it hurts me so much to have them done. She also needs a lead test so she will be a pin cushion this afternoon.

I sent an e-mail to DU last night about the Cat 12 rates and I have not heard anything back. I think it probably has to do with the fact that I replied to the reservations@ e-mail address because that is all I had. I was never assigned anyone over there so I don’t have an individual’s e-mail. I know people talk about DU having good service but I have used them twice and while I have a reservation and I have gotten stateroom credit they sure don’t seem to bother with you. I may transfer my next reservation to another agency.

I figure by the time they get back with me it will be too late. Maybe I should take it as a sign to just keep our Cat 9. I love the location and the kids will enjoy the window.

Speaking of Christmas cards, I have been wondering if it is possible to order Christmas cards on the ship....... Does Shutters do that?

Yes they do and they are very nice. I'm ordering next year's cards on this cruise.

IMPORTANT!!!!!​

Anyone who has down graded their ressie to get the Cat 12 price, you will lose all your on-board ressies! ​

I was able to rebook Palo dinner, but not brunch. So for right now I have 7 pm dinner on Sunday, but no Brunch on Monday. Now I am going to go back and see about excursions.

Pj

OH NO!!!! I had no idea........

 

[brack]

Brandi, DO THE RAINFOREST. Trust me on this....The Rainforest!! $15 each for the day and SO worth it. Get some water with a bit of orange in it. Sit on those loungers, move through the heat/steam rooms, shower in the incredible showers (but DON'T get the mint one in your eyes - ouch!), then get a nice cup of tea and sip on that. AAAAAHHHH. You will be just so relaxed! Plan on about an hour.

ABSOLUTELY! Before I had my hip replacement I would go in the Rainforest and lay on the stone chairs to relieve the arthritis pain. I am hooked and will go back this time. I like the Rainforest better than the pools.

Is there a rainforest package for the entire week?

 

[off to neverland]

I just hung up with DCL. A manager is working on retrieving my lost reservations, and will call me back this morning.

I must have that Palo Brunch!

 

[becka]

I almost forgot to mention that last night was night #2 without the binky! An ever better sign is that after we put her down a few minutes later we heard he fussing and I thought here we go … she wants her binky. DH went it and she didn’t ask for her binky but wanted DH to put her little toy poodle dog back in the purse (the little purse dog toy she got at the zoo). I took this as really good news because obviously she was awake and looking around for all of the stuff she wanted to go to sleep with and never asked about the binky. If we can get through the weekend then I believe I will pack them all up and they will leave our house forever!

I just said, I saw a deal on the Cat 12 for my sailing, could I switch?" You should add-on, " If possible, please have DCL check that all my excursions and Palo, Flounder ressies remain attached to my booking."( )

[brack]

Perhaps this has already been talked about, but........

Are any of you planning on watching the night time shuttle launch at Cape Canaveral the night before we embark? DH keeps telling me it's a chance of a lifetime, but I am hesitant to book a hotel there and miss a night at WDW when they change the launch dates so frequently.

I thought that the launch date was the 7th

When are you doing Palo brunch?

Pj

 

[brack]

PJ, if I was cruising on my own I would do it! That is ALOT of money for a single room!!! You don't lose anything...except the higher price. HEY! That can go towards the 12/1/07 cruise!!!!

 

[brack]

Maybe we can see how things are going one day...Cozumel perhaps...and leave the dads to watch the kids at the Mickey Pool & hit the Rainforrest???

You'll have to go early. There are only four chairs and I'll be in one of them.

 

[pjpoohbear]

Ok, my cruise for October 2007 has also gone down, just about $100. Should I wait and rebook on board for the discount and credit? How does that work, do they shift your prepaid amount or is it refunded and recharged? OY VA!

MICKEY PLAN

Cozumel Jeep Tour

Okay , I have now got the company that we are working with for our jeeps in Cozumel. I talked to the owner this morning and he has made us a good offer considering Dec is high season for them . The jeeps will cost 55.00 USD and that includes the rental, insurance and GAS ..wahoo . The gas part was a shock , but he said since we were just going around the island he would take care of that so we also didnt have to stop at one of the gas stations (which can be a pain for some non spanish speaking people ) . .

The nice thing is the rental car company is right down the street from the pier , a 5 minute walk at most .

So what I need from you is if you are going please email me your full names , addresses (just the person who is renting-Driving) and phone numbers . So if we need 13 jeeps , I need 13 names ... I need to put a list together to get to him so when we get there things can go smooth and fast ..

If you want to go now and you didnt say anything earlier please just email me ... cbrniner@aol.com

I need this ASAP

By the way - each Jeep should fit 5 people
