No nurse? That is surprising. Even we have a nurse. She isn't a member of the official staff, but she has to be there. We even ask her to come to the carnival in case there is an injury.

I am going to find out though.....

For Kim!

 

[lillygator]

did anyone ever say if villas could be booked online?

 

[elaineteresa]

I just called and got it fixed myself. I was left off the Kohunlich ruins tour and left off the bicycle rentals at CC - of all things.

They were able to fix it.

The catamaran sail would not let anyone book and DCL was not even clear if it had been cancelled or not. that took Labor Day weekend to straighten out.
LOL.

I think deciding what to book is harder than the booking.

Don't encourage him......

That is what he wants to do right now!!!!

And you are saying no?????

 

[lillygator]

Vanessa - did you do anything about a Wendy costume? I just spent so much on costumes that I don't think I will bother but I keep thinking about it.
I shouldn't have been taking chemistry instead of sewing I guess

not yet - I have spent enough this week.

 

[lbgraves]

I thought I read that you couldn't book an excursion and Palo on the same day for the person you booked Palo under, but I booked the parasailing for DH and I on sunday as well as our Palo dinner that night and didn't have any problem at all so they may have fixed the glitch.

I thought that was the problem that Kim had though. She could book DH & DD for an excursion but not herself. Hmmm.....Did you book Palo first?

 

[becka]

And you are saying no?????

Well either he can get a new computer or we can go on the cruise?

 

[elaineteresa]

Do you think those TA's really stay up and book this stuff or do they handle it some other way.

My TA offered to book the stuff for the other cabin for us but I figured we would be going on excursions in Nassau instead of Cozumel - lol. no thanks.

[kimerinc]

Now what is it that causes the glitch? If you book Palo you can't book that person for the excursion? Is it any day or the same day you book Palo? If we want Palo Sunday & CC stingrays Monday would that still mess it up? From what I remember reading on the boards, I would just need to call DCL or have my TA call them to have it corrected???

Lisa, I booked the stingrays on Sunday morning and had no issues. The problem comes when you book any kind of palo. The person who's name Palo is in cannot be on an excursion in Cozumel. Everyone else can, just not the person holding the ressie. Hopefully they have fixed this. Also, the fury catameran did not show up at all in cozumel, ever.... DCL had to fix everything. I posted the number for DCL excursion on a post replying to becka a couple of days ago if you need it.

If you are just doing stingrays, you should be fine! We are!

absolutely!! Combine that with two people who can never decide and it's torture! DH just left Gainesville. Still 42-0 (not over yet) he should be home around 12:30...well before the big 3am!

 

[lbgraves]

thank you Lisa - can anyone help make a rundown of any other activities like this where the kids can get a great "souvenir" ie. memory of the cruise experience - I want to make sure that we make time for these things. It's hard to tell from Passporter and the Navigators what we should do.

I was confused about what this was since it isn't on the last night. thanks for clearing that up.

elaine

It use to be but so many people complained about CC being too rushed...including us on the comment cards anyway. I had to take DS back to the ship at 3 to get desanded and dressed for the show then myself ready, then DD & go to the show, then DS dressed after picking him up & dinner & the show & then when I didn't know how to pack midweek get all the packing done in time to go to Till We Meet Again. It just didn't work for alot of people.

 

[elaineteresa]

thanks for doing our dinner linking Lisa.

no wonder the Dr. told you R&R.

Kim - the teacher may not even be in the lunch room - here they often rotate that chore and only do it once a week or so.

Does she come home really hungry?

I'm having all sorts of problems with my son eating - he has always been a carb guy but now it has gotten really extreme. It's just too much sugar - he justs wants to eat bread and pasta. I don't know if he is just too busy to eat or gets overwhelmed with too much choice or what.

I don't really know what to do about it either - when hubby gets back I think he needs to go to the dr. for a physical. He got sick about a month ago and lost weight and now he looks like all rib cage. He wants to suck down a yogurt or chocolate milk and call that a meal. He used to occasionally eat an apple, grapes, half a banana etc. but now I rarely get him to eat any of those - it's like a big nag fest. Maybe he just likes the attention, except he is so skinny his 5 Slim pants fall off him.

I hope you can work out a solution with the school.

elaine

She is starving and REALLY REALLY cranky! After and Apple and a glass of milk, she gets all happy again and eats all night just fine.

She is totally fine weight wise, so this is not a health issue yet, I just want her to feel better at school.

Final 42-0 - I feel bad for UCF...

You will have chances for clearance sales for costumes after Halloween. That's what is so great about cruising this time of year. Last year I didn't plan on getting any more princess costumes for DD but in early October DD.com had the awsome deal where you could stack 4-5 codes & the $40 princess costumes ended up costing 11-12 each!!! also free shipping. I placed a few orders....got DD Aurora, Cinderella, Snow White, Belle, and Ariel. Also picked up the red PR for DS. They are a size too big so she couldn't walk around in them but they worked for the pictures...we are quick change artists onboard.

 

[lillygator]

it's only 9:21, this is going to be a killer. I think I may take a nap. Luckily the storm has passed....can you imagine the power going out?

 

[elaineteresa]

We also need to get another laptop - it's getting ugly at the house when hubby and I want the computer at the same time. He was very careful about using his laptop from work to only do work related emails etc. but that makes it very tough for me.

Now the kids are always coming to me asking to go to barbie.com lego.com
etc.

I'm seeing a 4 PC household. when does it stop?

 

[becka]

Well DH got mad at me and stormed out saying I was being unreasonable because I didn't want him to go out right now and buy a wireless router and all other kinds of stuff so he can get online tonight with our ancient laptop.

I really don't think tonight is a good time for him to figure out how to set up a wireless network.
