[KyBuckeye]

"Tropical Storm Jeanne is taking aim at the Bahamas as it gains strength. Florida and other East Coast states are obviously worried about Jeanne's eventual track"

Looks like its not over yet.

If it carries on there will be nowhere to visit.
Will just end up boarding at Port Canaveral and staying there.

No docs here yet. Anyone recieved theirs from DU yet?

 

[cindy21494]

Well, I just spoke to my TA and she said that they were shipped out on the 10th. As soon as they get them, I can go pick them up.

Hopefully Jeanne will turn or just fizzle out. Think happy thoughts!

I received my docs via UPS from DCL (used DU) yesterday.

 

[thegales]

Just picked up my documents from AAA. Woo Hoo!

As I mentioned on a previous post, we all are just looking forward to a cruise, and we will be happy where ever we go. But...

please don't let us go to Charleston, SC. That's only a four hour drive for us, and it will be just too weird to wind up there from a cruise ship from Florida.

 

[CGC33A]

I wouldn't mind Charleston. I used to live near there & one in my party has never been and talks of visiting that city. This reminds me of a Dave Barry Column (who lives in Miami) on cruising the "Restaurant of the Seas". On this cruise, they went to Key West, a 4 hour car ride that took 12 hours (from Miami) by ship. It was a really cute column in the Miami Herald (and others) a few months ago.

 

[thegales]

I think I remember that column! Too funny.

 

[traycie2201]

Dancin, Dancin, got my docs today

ps although the docs say we are going to GC it's clear that we won't be from the reports on news sites, anyone have any idea where we'd reroute to ?

 

[HebeJebe]

Has anyone who booked through Costco received their Docs? We still don't have ours.

No GC? Guess I won't be going to Hell afterall!

 

[traycie2201]

Okay just rang DCL who are thrilled that Ivan has avoided them, she wouldn't say for definate but when i asked about where we would go instead of GC she said if the port isn't available they may well use costa maya again, guess we'll have to rethink excursions.

 

[allforpooh]

Just wondering if anyone has been to Costa Maya, if so what is it like?

Hi allforpooh, if we get to go it won't be a hardship, here's what invaderzim said today about it , they were rerouted there a few weeks ago with DCL

" As for Costa Maya, they added that to our itinerary because we couldn't go to Key West (went to CC instead to beat the hurricane). There were major thumbs up from everybody we spoke with about Costa Maya. Is now our very favorite port. Many many people from the 8/28 cruise wish Disney would make it a new port and replace Cozumel with it.

It is a relatively new port and extremely beautiful. More rustic than Cozumel, it is very green and lush. The beaches were beautiful and the town was colorful with live entertainment and performers in traditional costume all day. We took the ruins tour and the buses were the most magnificant tour buses we have ever been on. Plush and clean. The roadway was brand new. They just got telephone service to most of the houses only a few months ago. The roadway had modern street lamps lining the whole way.

Our tour guide said the dock was only six years old and the tour roadways were only three years old. They were courteous, fun and very knowledgeable people. The stores were clean and the bathrooms spotless. They also have a huge salt water swimming pool right in the middle of the plaza.

We would go back there in a heartbeat. So glad we got to see it. If you go, you are in for a real treat.
