5/27/06 "Il pochi il fiero i blabbermouths" We *will* sail again

[dznyacct]

If by some some bizarre chance you have Jessica (from Sweden, I think) and Matej (from Croatia ??) as your servers, could you please get me a picture of them? We had them as our servers in July. Jake and Matt were "in love" with Jessica (about 20, blonde, very cute), but of course were very quiet around her. We had some great pictures of them from our cruise. Unfortunately our digital camera (with over 300 cruise photos) and a lot of cash was stolen from our locker at Typhoon Lagoon on our WDW trip after the cruise. Losing the cash was hard to swallow, but when I realized the cruise pictures were gone, I really thought I was going to throw up. Please don't go to any trouble, but just in case, I would love to have a picture of them. Hope you have a wonderful cruise.

OMGosh! How horrible! Stolen out our your locker at TL? How the heck did that happen and did Disney do anything for your? I have got to hear the story on this one please, if you do not mind. I will be on the look out for Jessica and Matej for you, if I see them at the Buffet even, I will grab a shot for you. That baffles me about TL. It is my favorite park and I leave my stuff out on a chair A LOT! Never even thinking someone may steal it, and now you have gotten robbed from a locked locker?????

 

[dzneprincess]

anyone else have any requests?

I booked directly thru DCL the day the rates came out. I was not on any kind of waiting list, I was not expecting to get SPR's. I was not even expecting to book! LOL I just figured I would call and get an idea of the price, because we normally cruise off season. When I didnt faint from sticker shock, and once I was asked if I wanted deck 5 to which I replied, but of course, only then did I decide to book. I know that is not what you wanted to hear, but thats how it went. Anyways. once i booked thru DCL and had things like I wanted it, then I called Dana at www.micdan.com to see what she could do on the price for me, and she did well so I transferred the ressie over to her.

Actually that's very disappointing (for me with allseastravel) and I think I'm going to have to say something to my agent with them about this. What's the point of being on a waiting list for almost 2mo then when the rates go out DCL gets the rooms with someone who books that day and wasn't on the waitlist? That sounds like to me that allseas is full of it with the "waitlist" and DCL gets top billing over them- yanno?
ugh
Anyway, I'm glad someone I know got the rooms though.

I did get contacted back finally by allseas and the reason for not hearing back sooner was a good one- my agent just had his first baby and was off work for awhile! He sent me a picture (you can tell he's really excited about her) and she's soooo cute. So he is forgiven. LOL
He did get the rooms changed on deck 2 connecting rooms that are not on the noisy room list on that other website... so all is well.

I know that neighbors can be noisy too- that can happen at the resorts also. But I didn't want to for SURE have noise waking us up in the mornings even if the neighbors were quiet. And with having 3 kids in this family it's kinda like what KIND of noise that will wake us up. Meaning all of us, including the kids, have learned to tune out other family member type "noises" when trying to sleep- but when it comes to mechanical type noises, that is not something we're used to and most likely wouldn't tune out and would wake us up. KWIM?

 

[dzneprincess]

I can reccomend 2 great connecting 10s! LOL we stayed in 2071 and 2073 last year and they were in a great location. They were midship and on the other side of 2071 was the conference room so there was no noise issue there.

 

[BibbidyBobbidyBoo]

We got 2102 and 2104... I hope those are good (as in noise level besides neighbors and such) rooms!

 

[doubletroublemom]

Where can I find the list of noisy rooms? I've stayed on Deck 5 before, but I'm moving a few rooms closer to mid-ship.

So sorry to hear about your camera being stolen. Mine broke after my Halloween photos, and I'm sick about that. I can't imagine losing my cruise photos. I sure hope Disney did something for you even though it can't replace your photos. How about a free cruise???

 

[BibbidyBobbidyBoo]

I think the link was shown a few pages earlier in this thread- so that I could check which rooms weren't noisy before changing my rooms. However, the list shows rooms that are noisy on deck 2. I'm not aware of any list of noisy rooms on deck 5.... I think these "noisy rooms" are related to things that are closer to deck 2, not deck 5. (mechanical noises and such)

Here is a link to Daves site and the page that he has the noisy rooms listed as.
BBB are those rooms aft or forward?

 

[doubletroublemom]

Thanks for the info

 

[dzneprincess]

you are very welcome doubletree mom!

 

[DVCcruise]

I finally put the deposit down on this cruise TODAY. I've been pricing for weeks now. We decided on Cat 10 deck 7 forward. It will be me, DH, DS (11), and DD (9), both at the time of the cruise. This will be our 3rd Disney cruise. The kids won't know until next December, 2005, but I think they'd like to email some before the cruise. They did last summer and thought it was cool to know someone before you got on the ship. I now have a reason to keep checking DIS. This is the best site!

 

[dzneprincess]

welcome aboard dvccruise!

 

[whnim64]

Hi, DVCCruise. Welcome to 'our' cruise. My DS (11 at cruise time) will be thrilled to know someone ahead of time. We're not telling him about the cruise, either if I can keep my mouth shut. I find myself starting to say something about our cruise to my DH when DS is around and have to stop myself...

 

[dzneprincess]

Hey you two! My DS will be almost 1 months shy of being 11 when we sail. He will be 11 in July. We will definitely have to let them penpal.

 

[DVCcruise]

I'm so glad to hear about future penpals. Jake loves spending time in the club, but would be much happier if he's made a few friends before the cruise.

I'm having trouble keeping my mouth shut in front of the kids also. It's so long to keep a secret, but well worth the reward. Thanks for the welcomes.

Hi DVCcruise!

My daughter will be 9 when we sail also. She has made great friends through the folks we have met on the boards.

 

[DVCcruise]

I'm so glad to hear that Katie will be able to meet someone before the cruise. Thanks for writing back RAC. Do your kids already know? I'm thinking mine will find out next Christmas.

Good luck Pam.
So goes anyone feel like sharing the price they paid and what they got for it, also when u booked? (ok call me nosey)

We got 2 cat 10's 5022 and 5024 for a total of 5147.00 thru Dana at www.micdan.com (it was 5503.68 thru DCL directly, she saves me almost $400) This is for 2 adults and 4 kids BUT 2 kids will pay adult fare because we need 2 rooms.

Dzneprincess- I owe you a big thanks. I owe you a thanks for being honest and telling me how you got those SPH rooms (booking when dates came out- not on a list for them like I was) because I spoke with my rep from Allseastravel (by email) about how that happened (don't worry- I didn't name names nor did I say what rooms you had- just said I'd heard someone say they got secret porthole rooms and weren't even on a waiting list like I was) and the reason I'm quoting you above is because I had to go look back at what rooms you'd said... because for a moment there I was scared somehow you got bumped out of your rooms (like maybe an upgrade to make ME happy or something) but nope- we'll just be neighbors!

My rep said he had Disney take a closer look and something "did not occur as it should have along the way" and he said that wasn't the norm for allseastravel- and he said he has secured rooms 5522 and 5524 for me! I'm not sure how that happened now- unless Disney realized they'd passed me on the list, gave the rooms to someone else and decided to upgrade the other people so I could have those rooms??

Anyway- we'll be neighbors!

DVCcruise,

Ashlyn does know, I don't think she realizes how far off it is. She would love to meet Katie.
