Ang, don't go to bed yet.

Please book an extra high tea for Sharon and then head off to bed.

But I tried .... I'm going to try one last time then head off.

I think DCL is blocking Palo Reservations for those of us 90 Days out. If someone ends up with an extra slot for the Tea (we talked about a Ladies Tea at Palo's on Thursday), please let me know. Thanks. I guess I got up at 3am on a workday for nothing.

Sharon, I don't think it was blocking y'all out. I'm a 75 day person and never saw anything listed for tea or brunch. I couldn't even get anything to show up for 1-2 people. I had to select 3-4 if I wanted anything to show. The only days listed for dinner were Sun., Mon. & one other day.

Thanks for trying, twice by now.

I'm sure they will wipe Sharon's nose prints off Palo's windows after she watches high tea.

 

[CajunGirl2]

Dinner doesn't even show up in the drop-down box now.

Off to bed I go .... the 4:45 alarm will be buzzing all too soon.

Hey guys-this is Linda from Iowa-just did my ressies-things went fast, all of the sudden all the Costa Maya and Coz excursions disappeared.....thank gosh I was fortunate to reserve what I wanted. No Palo, though .....Good night/morning!

 

[scuba diver]

I don't know why everyone is going to bed when there is a.....

 

[scuba diver]

...TOP waiting to happen.

 

[TiggerInNY]

Good morning Jim.

I couldn't reserve Palo either. Wouldn't let me do any reservations. Said "nothing available". I'm bummed. I started booking excursions first. MY MISTAKE. Rookie!!!

 

[TiggerInNY]

I'm gonna go and try again. Be right back.

 

[TiggerInNY]

Nope. Still says nothing available. Guess I have to wait til we board the ship.

 

[TiggerInNY]

Jim or anybody,

How do I see if we are linked with anybody for dinner? Someone said that you could see ALL the names of everyone linked with you? I can't seem to find it.

 

[TiggerInNY]

OK, I'm done. Going back to bed now. Hope I can sleep. Nite Nite

I don't think you made a mistake. Our "theory" that 25% of the reservations opened up at 105 days, another 25% at 90, 75 and on the ship doesn't seem to be correct. I think all of the reservations for Palo are gone (at least for Brunch & High Tea). If they didn't hold any open at the 75 day mark, I am curious if they will have any open when we board. This seems pretty rough for people without internet access in their homes at 3am on the day they open up reservations. This may make REAS attractive again for people. We did it on the 10 day to get reservations, but didn''t think it was necessary on this trip. Another thing about DCL learned.

I was on at 2:30 and kept updating - there were no Palo reservations either. Som I agree with Scuba Mom....Plus - for high tea and brunch - there are only 2 sea days, not 3, so there are not as many to get.

Question on REAS - when we booked with REAS, our first trip, they only let us make Palo dinner, not high tea or brunch. Of course, we went through our T/A and she might not have known....so I would ask before making REAS to make sure....

Interesting - I tried 3-4 people, nothing - dinner offerings never showed up either....For the November trip, dinner showed up but you could not book more than once???

This cruise is just too popular....

 

[chip&dale&fun]

I wouldn't use that software. You can if you want, however the Olympus can be downloaded directed into the computer. Just connect it and turn it on through the USB port. The computer will recognize it and then you can manipulate the file however you want. At least that's what I do.....

Thanks - I will tell Sam...

 

[chip&dale&fun]

Well I was going to try and paste it here but it isn't working. I thought it would be fun to see who got all the milestones. The chart is up on the web page (all the way at the bottom). Enjoy!​

Thanks for all the work you do for us Mary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[chip&dale&fun]

Sorry to interrupt if you were in the middle of something, will catch up in a second.


But..I talked to Vicki tonight (Garry's wife.. ) and she said that you would have to be the same blood type as Garry to donate for him, unless you are O- (negative) which is a universal blood type. She also didn't think the blood banks would let us "earmark" blood for a specific individual.
But.....they thought that was just about the nicest thing that they had heard in a long time, and if anyone is so inclined, they would be delighted if we donated in Garry's honor.

Thanks sTacey!

Good Morning All - Sorry the reservations didn't work out. I am still surprised about High Tea. When we went in Jan '04 there was only 1 other guest in the entire restaurant.


Welcome back Julia.

Woo Hoo -- 3 weeks from today, I will be in Walt Disney World

Hubby is wishing he was going with me. Year before last I was at a conference and stayed at Royal Pacific and he got to go. Just not feasible this year and we don't have anyone to stay with the kids. Oh well -- I will just have to go by myself and have a little fun in between the meetings.

The kids are out on Spring Break this week and I am usually off with them, but this year I am having to work. They will be bored before the week is out I am sure.

Pam - when in May?
