12/09/06 Cruise Continued ~ Pirating Bananas DIS Geekorama Part 2 Part 5

[lbgraves]

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!

Kim

OK...so if we aren't doing anything in Cozumel...we will be fine? COOL!

 

[lbgraves]

did anyone ever say if villas could be booked online?

No they can't, Vanessa.

 

[lbgraves]

Well DH got mad at me and stormed out saying I was being unreasonable because I didn't want him to go our 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.

Scarey!!!!!!

 

[lbgraves]

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

Gotcha!

The moon is full and very pretty out my window right now! Nice!!!

 

[lbgraves]

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.

They have to do things the same way we do. I wouldn't want to rely on a TA who has to go in for several bookings. If you aren't the first one on their list you will be SOL. It goes so quickly as it is....maybe not at 105 but things will disappear quickly tonight at 3 am. IDC what people say, they do NOT add more bookings at each mark. Too many people have logged on at 75 days & nothing was there at 3 am. We have a huge DIS group going & there are at least 20-30 others on the boards who are not signed up with our group on the website. You are talking at least 200 people. Things went fast last year with a smaller group.

No they can't, Vanessa.

Actually, some of the Spa Villas can be booked online. Just go check it out and it tells you which ones can. The Couples Choice can and the first single one lisyed can also.

 

[becka]

This is my 9,000th DIS post since August 1999. I mean it when I say I really could not have done it without you guys!!!!

I had the booking problem with the 2 day bike rentals at CC too which I don't consider an excursion. I forget where that is listed, maybe it is under excursions.

It would be great if it was all fixed though.

Becka if he has set one up before, it should only take about 20 minutes to set up. But if not, then ........ better to wait until tomorrow.

And it has been fun dragging you out of the closet so that you could reach that goal!

Pj

He has never set one up and the laptop is from 2000 and does not even have any kind of a wireless card.

I asked about this on the main board a few weeks back. What I was told is that you get them at guest services when you arrive and the tours are typically thursday at 2:15, 2:45, 3:15, and so on... something like that. It will interfere with the Wine & Cheese tour from what I realized but I am really wanting to do the Galley tour.

I have been through 3 galley tours. I don't want to go again. They are actually not very interesting, unless they are going to show us the morgue. The bridge tours were WAY more interesting when they did them.

 

[pyramid2000]

maybe you mean me - we've got 24 and late seating
and we can be very loud and obnoxious (in a good way laughing/talking, not complaining about stuff) - sorry in advance for the noise level!!

Thanks Diane! I knew there was someone. Have you requested 8pm??

 

[lbgraves]

thanks for doing our dinner linking Lisa.

no wonder the Dr. told you R&R.

I really am kicking back & relaxing more. I have learned to just say no to the PTO. I haven't had an attack in at least three...maybe four weeks...so that is good. Of course, that is mainly due to the help of the meds but I'll take it anyway.

 

[lbgraves]

We have to book the 2 day tube rental to get the special rate, right???? Where did I read that???

there's more?

 

[becka]

It's OK though because I play the mean unreasonable wife part quite well after all these years.

 

[elaineteresa]

I was surprised that there was a nurse at our school but it seems typical in NY state. It's probably a pretty decent job with state benefits and the hours are great for moms. I bet you only need the lowest level nursing degree too.

They probably have a visiting nurse at least - most schools dispense medicine so someone must have to handle that.
