My peoples are sending me more details, lol.

I am willing to bet it will be fine - it says all ages just that they are going to charge for 3 and up.

That is kind of what I thought too.

I have never booked an excursion before. Will it list all who are eligible and allow me to select everyone? If Allie is not available to select I guess then I would know?

 

[elaineteresa]

I have heard people mention tables of 10 - I don't know how big the get.

 

[becka]

PJ - Do you know what times might be available to select? Can Kim or someone who did 105 days check?

 

[lbgraves]

is there another cruise gift basket shop other than the one always mentioned - I wasn't that impressed with their offerings.

does anyone know if Peggy's sweet in Orlando delivers to the cruise ship? she has cute things.

thanks

elaine

Elaine, Shirley is the only shop that still delivers to the ships due to the hassle that they have to go thru to get the stuff onboard. Don't go by what is on her site. She will put ANYTHING that you want into a basket. Either call her or email her & she will not disappoint you. She has been a real angel when it comes to some situations on the board and would do anything you asked.

when Samanatha was 18m we booked a DCL Nassau tour that said all ages and charged from 3 and up..

I have been trying to book it since I saw this post, but I cannot get any excursions to show up even though I cancelled my second CC activity and have none for Friday...

Brae Frog is smoking a pipe!

[becka]

I thought I read somewhere that each dining room has one table for 20 (or maybe it was 18 since that is a server station).

 

[elaineteresa]

thanks all for the gift basket recommendation - that is great to know - I will have to think about some fun things to put in ours.

I bought MIL a Disney tote and sarong on the DD sale. I don't know if she will get into all this Disney stuff or not but she is a firecracker at 85.

[lbgraves]

hMMMM....

I figured I might as well fill out some of those online forms....

well, now I discover another family linked to us...we expected 12 but 4 more are coming. I vaguely remember one of my friends saying she invited another family.

my question - CAN they do a table for 16? I'd actually prefer to do a table for 8, but now I wonder how they will fit us together. Does anyone remember if they do tables of 16?

No they can't with in the group. I had to ask for a table of 12 and a seperate table of 6 in one section. Do you have all of their info? I still need the kid's names for that last family too.

 

[lbgraves]

Belle....clean out your PM box!!!!

Looks life a early afternoon time slot.

If you wanted a bag for MIL, you could send Shirley the tote to pack her goodies into.

 

[pjpoohbear]

have lunch around noon and you would be good to head on board.
