Congrats to all of you who got in on the repos! I am sure it will be the trip of a lifetime. I hope DCL does another PC repo around 2010-2011. ;)

So is anyone else booking for non-repo dates in 2008?

if we do it will be a December sailing date! ;)
 

We're in!! Just got back from lunch and finally got a ring tone on the Castaway Club #. Booked into room 7104, a cat 5, for the 12/6/08 Eastern sailing. After discount, it was $4328 which is less than we were quoted for the Jan08 dummy date :) plus $200 OBC.

Should I transfer it to Dreams for the additional OBC?? I kinda liked being in control of the ressie this last time. Would I still be able to pull it up online and view it if it's transferred to a Travel Agent?
 
We are a CAT 4 on the WB, waitlisted for a CAT 3. An I have to say, that is the WORST INFLATION I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE! Seriously, $2000 - $3000 in one hour? I got such a good price on the 4, I don't know if hubby will want the 3?

Lisa,:grouphug: you did not deserve this!!!

:yay:

Joy - I had DU last time and I was still able to view everything on the DCL site with my reservation.
 
I am worn out.

I am stressed into actually making a decision re my job tonight. My company came back and offered me a promotion and more money. While flattering I hate that it took the wake up call to get it. I know I should skip out of here while doing cartwheels...there are so many factors to consider...

increase in childcare
increase in Health Ins
less PTO as now that I have been here 5 years my pto goes up to 30 days per yr
change...well, that aspect is not all the troublesome except that I don't know how "forgiving" (for lack of a better word) this co is, I mean, if Samantha has a program at school or they are sick I can come and go as I please...well, I can pretty much any of the time.
Also, distance - this is quite a bit further away and will add on travel time to and from and requires me really going out of my way to get to the girls school.

I just don't know what to do. I asked my boss a time line and the next step to becoming a senior acct and of course, he could not give me a time line, but said we would sit down and work on a course together. I would also not be taking on additional work at this point. And we are a govt entity so I knew there was NO way they could match the $ amount but they came a lot closer than I thought they would which is what is rendering me in the tizzy.
I feel like a sell out if I stay.

I told my mom and I could hear the distinct disapointment in her voice. Long run she feels I am giving up a lot more which may be true. But she drives an hour to work each way and does not mind.

sorry, feels better to get it all out though. I need to get out of here..and who knows how much DIS time I would have at the "new" place?
 
Well, Vanessa, if you factor in the differenc in child care & the time off along with the other benefits that you use, that probably makes the difference in offers even less. I would require them to put this in writing so that you don't turn down the other job only to find them dragging their feet. Stand up for yourself. You do have some place to go from there. Good luck!
 
Sounds like an exciting day for all of those cruising the canal... maybe not always a good kind of excitement.... but I'm sure it will all be worth it.

V, don't know what to tell you. But I'm thinking of you as you struggle with your choice on jobs.
 
v, :hug:, not much help, but better to have a choice then none at all,:confused3 .

We are booking October 25, 2008 Double dip - to replace the one we had to cancel. :goodvibes Contingent on DH getting a sabbatical that quarter (which is almost assured) - I can just see the request now - I need a sabbtical to take a Disney Double Dip cruise :lmao:

I love that reason and would approve it, lol.

Of course, no cruise will ever replace the Geekorama - which I have thoroughly enjoyed vicariously popcorn::

actually he had to have it in writing before he could offer it to me as it had to be approved by the board....I just don't know what to do...:confused3
 
thanks for listening though....John is no help...whatever makes me happy, he says. I guess it would be fine if I made 0.50 an hour banging a tambourine, if that made me happy!
 
:hug: V! I am sure it is a very hard choice when they both have good points and bad points. Back in 2001 I was a little unhappy at my job and started looking for something else. I had an offer from another place and when my current job found out they countered. I had some of the same concerns as you but it the end I decided to stay where I was. My job was still not perfect (but I think I have come to the conclusion that any programming job is not going to be for me) but I think it was the best decision for me although sometimes I still question if what I did was right. I have not felt like they "owned" me and I don't feel like it has ever been held against me in any way. Just my experiences and it is worth all of less than 1 cent.... ;)
 
I just booked the 12/06/08 Eastern.

Cat 9 #2614 with No transfers/insurance was $3409.xx. :woohoo:
