6/26/05 Wonder 4-night Anyone going besides me?

[notbernie]

Melanie and DIS, I will also have something lime green on and I'm a Strawberry blonde so my family should be easy to spot at the Port. We'll be there early as well. How many children does our group have? 5 or 6? I wanted to pick up some bubbles for the sail away party if that's ok? We will also go right to the pool so the girls can have some fun before it gets too crowded.

We also got our girls snorkel sets for CC, do you know how far you have to go to see the underwater Mickey? I was hoping they would be able to see that. I already have my own so I'm bringing that. Now if we could only have them practice before we go! Our community pool opened this weekend but it's 68 degrees, burrrr! The girls lasted about 5 min and I know I'm not getting in water that cold! They may end up practicing in the tub!

Well just let us know when and where to meet and we will be there. We will be wearing the Mickey bride and groom ears!

And I will have a black tote bag with a sparkly lime green Tinkerbelle on it! And I have red hair.

Fairytalelover,

So much for me standing out! Two redheads on a cruise...what are the odds?!

 

[fairytalelover]

Redheads Rule!!!!!

I have DD11, Notbernie has DD5 and DD7, Dis has DS10 and 15 (don't think the 15 yr old will want bubbles or glow necklace!), and Snowitt has a little nephew coming along-don't know his age.

I had a flash of fear Sunday when I thought about how close it's finally getting. That's a lot of deep water and I sure don't want high waves or seasickness.

Not gonna be able to be on much this week. It's dance recital week. We were at rehearsal from 7-10 last night and will be a dress rehearsal W, Th, and then the performances Friday and Sat.
I'll check in in the AMs though if I have time before work.

Melanie and DIS,

Do you think a good time to meet would be between 2:00 and 3:00 p.m. onboard? It's after lunch, swimming, rooms should be ready, it's before the drill and Sail away party. DIS can come up with a good meeting place since they've been on the ship before. Fairytalelover will need to know a head of time since they will be out of the loop as of the 16th ( if not before )

Jennifer,

Jennifer,

I will have my blackberry with me from the 16th onwards so you guys can email me or call me on it. I will PM you guys with the info right now.

 

[Dis]

Are we all planning on being at the port before noon? We can just try to guess who is who. Has anyone gotten their Doc's yet?

 

[notbernie]

DIS, not yet, I'm waiting patiently! I think we should pick a place onboard as well. Mecook, you and I will be at the Port early so we might be able to pick each other out but the rest of the group might not.

Got 'em yesterday (6/1) via UPS.
Not much to it...just 3 little booklets that remind me of airline tickets, a booklet of stateroom gifts, a little book of rules (no time to read yet), and a single sheet of paper about reserving excursions.
DD's dance recital rehearsals are taking me away from important cruise business! Ha, ha! Two nights down...one more dress rehearsal tonight..."the real thing" as DD calls it on Fri. and Sat.
I'm already give out...don't know how I'll make it...
DH took off this week so she could sleep till noon every day. I'm the only one having to get up and leave...boo hoo!
Melanie

p.s. to fairytalelover - got your p.m.

 

[fairytalelover]

We are planning on getting there as soon as the bus will take us there from Port Orleans Riverside Hotel. I am not sure how to find out what time their busses leave to DCL though.

 

[Dis]

Received our Docs today via UPS
24 more days!

 

[notbernie]

Got ours today too! I have to wait until the girls go to bed to check it out.

 

[fairytalelover]

What are in the docs exactly?

 

[Dis]

The docs are in a little cardboard suitcase.
They include:
Bahamas immigration form
Embarkation form
cruise contract
payment authorization form
information booklet
cruise line gift catalog
luggage tags
itinerary
cruise info
gratuity info

 

[fairytalelover]

Cool!!! Sounds fun!! I found out that UPS came to our house today but we were at work so they just left a message and will return tomorrow....of course we will still be at work. UGH!

 

[Dis]

Fairytalelover- I believe the DCL bus leaves Port Orleans between 12:15 and 12:30. It will take around an hour to get to the port.

 

[notbernie]

Melanie and Family,
Good luck or break a leg or whatever you're supposed to say to wish someone well! Just think how good it will feel when it's all over! I'm sure all of the hard work your daughter has done will pay off. Enjoy the show!

My busy time will be from the 17th until the 24th. If I look a little frazzled at the Port you'll know why! Hopefully, it won't be anything a Konch Kooler can't handle!

Jennifer

 

[fairytalelover]

Thanks for the bus info Dis. I was hoping we could get to the ship earlier then that.......oh well.

 

[Dis]

FTL- I believe you can check-in for the cruise at your resort. This will save you some time at the port.
