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

[lbgraves]

I didn't know you could put in requests. I wonder if I could put in a request for a suite for claustrophobia issues?

 

[klineyqueen]

We have sailed with a window only 2 of our 7 trips. Honestly, we are not in our room except to sleep and dress. BUT we also do not have little ones that need to nap, so that is something to think about. Do you spend time in the room during naps, and if so how important is seeing outside during that time? Is the amount of money worth the tradeoff?

This will be our third cruise. We had no window for 1 and 2. We were going to splurge for a window this time. But at the time the splurge was only 300 dollars. I can not splurge 1450!!! We will see if we can get a window when we are waiting to board. If not..oh well!!!

 

[lbgraves]

Becka, you are across the hall from Karen!!!!!

 

[becka]

So the BrandiBecka twins are on the same deck again, even with the switch? And they're very close to each other...
this is dangerous

I just checked they are caddy-corner to each other. I wonder what this will mean? At least Deck 2 is safe but Deck 6 is another issue....

I told DH we could look to upgrade still at the port to see if we could get our window back for less. Even if it costs us $300 or so we would have then saved almost $900...still not too bad.

 

[lbgraves]

And BTW mom . . .

Catch any cows lately????

OH MY!!!!

I saw the same thing. So if Jake (or Jack) and Nathan pound on the corner of the cabin....

 

[becka]

Becka, you are across the hall from Karen!!!!!

DIS PARTY ON DECK 6!!!!

 

[lbgraves]

Do I take this to mean that there is practically zero chance of getting an upgrade from the Cat 11? I mean obviously I knew what I was doing (I think) but it was still nice to hope.

The bottom of the list....that sounds so sad.

Becka, how she explained it is when you booked the 12 GTY you bumped someone who booked that 12 up.

 

[pyramid2000]

I did call her at 8:30 this morning...that is when she was in. She got us a room for under 2000 for the whole family!!! We are saving get this...$1.453 dollars!!!!!! That is enough for our 3 annual passes (Eliza doesn't need one yet) and 200 bucks extra!!! We are officially cabinless!

I need to check my online ressie....I have been out all day!

Brandi! How great!! What an awesome deal for you.

OK....so who wants to thank me?

 

[klineyqueen]

The split bath is handy if someone needs to "use the facilities" when someone else is in the shower, but it's NOT $1100 worth of convenient as far as I'm concerned.

The way I see it...my kids don't give me a seconds worth of privacy at home...why should I get it on the cruise!!!!

 

[BuzzBoyMom]

Ahhh - can anyone say ...RELAXED!!!!! Ahhhhh


My day at the spa was nice, long and relaxing.

Now I'm awaiting kids to come home. DH went to pick them up so I can stay relaxed.

They are heading to our HS football game tonight.

I'm going to the theater with the girls tonight and then out for drinks.

Doesn't this sound like a great day.

Ahhh....

 

[lbgraves]

Very cool! This will be something she can treasure, not just another in a stack of autograph books. (we have a bunch of those!! )

They each have one autograph book. Only one sig per character so we didn't get too many last time. This will give her something to get signed.

 

[MrsMork]

!

Way to go, Andy!!

And you even got a bunch of cool new DIS neighbors for the cruise....

 

[pyramid2000]

Pricings???? Sorry, there is no time for pricing right now! Tell DH that stuff will just have to wait, there is packing, tickets, and most importantly DISing to be done!!

Now how did I know that would be coming...

 

[pyramid2000]

It is a fairly big room. Just 4 tile loungers though. However, we went every day on the 10 day and on our 7 day last Dec and only one or two times did we have to wait for a lounger. If they were being used we would go into the heated room and sit in there first and then move to the loungers. Except for when Brack, Annette, Dennis and I are there you should be fine. And of course, since we are DISers we MIGHT be willing to give up a lounger for ya.

So I am guessing it is one of these times that Dennis had the "thong" incident?

 

[becka]

Now how did I know that would be coming...

So Caroline...why aren't you packed?

 

[klineyqueen]

The kids were awesome for pics this morning!!!! Can you believe 5 babies, toddlers, and preschoolers were awesome!!! They were awesome! We were done in 20 min!!! It was amazing!!!! They were so cute. They were all wearing their jammies and holding stuffed animals! It was perfect!
