7/18/2010 Mickey's Baltic Ballyhoo!! Part 4

[jlawall]

The rate I'm going I will catch up to you in the year 2020!

Now now queen of knowledge, BB on the Wonder, Topsiders on the Magic, and Magic only has dinner at Topsiders for casual dining.

Of course you can bribe me for dinner in my room? DD will tell me off when she reads this, (not a bragg a joke!)

It's a hard habit to break!!

I think, Andrew, that she's referring to the Wonder cruise she's going on this summer, so Barb was right..........it's hard to keep all these cruises straight, I know!!!

My understanding was there was a lot of pre cruise realse requests for the Cat 1>3 rooms, they had all gone in seconds and there is a waitlist still.

Whilst the MED trips were/are a little bit slower to sell, the Baltics went quickly hence they will come back in 2012 to do more.

I do not think there will be many upgrades at port on these cruises, often the longer the cruise and the more sea days the quicker outside room sell, best upgrades are on the Wonder 3/4 night cruises and off season standard cruises, where people are less bothered to book an outside room.



Enjoy

Sorry for the confusion...

As much as I would love a suite for the Baltic cruise, that is definitely out of our price range.
We are on the Wonder July 12th next month for our 17th wedding anniversary-just DH and I (first cruise without the kids).
Really the only way we could afford a suite is to upgrade at the port and only on a short (3 or 4 day) cruise.
After the 15 day repo last year eveything else seems short

Maybe we can have another room tour next year
We clogged the halls up with the crowd last year, but it was really cool to see all the staterooms. That is what convinced me to go for an inside room this time as they are all pretty nice.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY KAREN AND BOB

Yes, we'll be celebrating our 29th on July 11th, one week before the Tortola cruise.........

OK confusion, I thought we were talking about this cruise.

It's confusing with all these cruises planned!!!

 

[Andrew DEREK UK]

It's confusing with all these cruises planned!!!

I just try to keep up,

I have this and the August Tortola cruises,

WDW Contemporary, A villa, and ADR's and discovery cove to juggle with flights and car hire.

Venice just gone,

Rhodes next year, then this cruise to organise with shore trips, I am a bit like Doctor Who, do not know if I am coming, gone, been, to do etc.

I was so excited today at the scrapbook convention I went to. They had page kits and stickers for different countries and I found stickers for Estonia So I manage to get page kits for all the countries for our cruise next year and then I realize I forgot Sweden

Now I have to go back to the convention

Now I remember Mike saying he and Linda liked scrapbooking (or he was just having fun with her cricut).

Does anyone else scrapbook

I do!!! Tho' you knew that from last year! You are soooo organized - DH would kill me if I started planning next years book as I haven't finished last years yet! If there is enough of us, maybe we could have a scrapbook swap or something?

That's what I was going to say as well.

I was trying to convince my DH to try upgrading to a cat 3 at the port

How much extra was it?
We are currently in a cat 11 (first time in an inside cabin) so I'm guessing it would be closer to $1000 or more to upgrade at the port for a 4 day cruise
I got a closer look at the cat 3 on my last cruise as a fellow Diser was kind enough (or crazy enough) to let a bunch of us check it out, but my DH wasn't with me at the time so he has no idea how nice they are.

Thanks for the heads up about Beach Blanket. I didn't realize that BB was closed the first and last nights. We may wait and see if they can seat us with an adult group when we get there
I have Palo dinner booked for the 2nd night and brunch for the day at sea. Don't want to book 2 Palo meals too close together as we practically roll out of there as it is

It was $1130 to upgrade at the port from an inside to the cat. 3. It was the 2nd time I had booked a SPH cabin and we have yet to sail in one - the first time we had to cancel the cruise and this time the upgrade.

If you do decide to upgrade and they have either 8102 or 8502 available grab that one - the verandahs are huge on them. They are the very last cabins on deck 8. I'll have to get my pics posted of the cabin this week so you can show your DH.

Concierge can also change your dining table before dinner at the concierge meet after boarding. They booked our beer, wine and martini tastings. I had already booked our brunch before boarding.
We loved being able to order the treats for a pre-arranged delivery time each day and the concierge reception on CC day was nice. DD got a couple of movies to watch in the cabin and they also gave her a big bag of popcorn. She also received 2 arcade cards. The print we received on the last night was very nice. They also come to your cabin the last evening to show you all your pics that Shutters took so you can pay for what you want or turn in what you don't want. We had already looked at them in Shutters so we could order our Christmas cards, put we did find a couple more that we wanted.


I'll let you know if we are able to upgrade again next Sunday, as I already know there are 6 cat. 3's available - or at least they were on Wednesday.

 

[jilljill]

You keep having fun!!!
Will we get a bit of a TR?

Now you are asking for a lot from me with a TR. I'll see what I can do once DH goes back home on Tuesday.

It is the end of the month.

Even though it's lunchtime for me, it's still morning here!
I wish it was night time though. Alana and I went to the Jonas Brothers concert last night. Didn't get home and to bed until 11:30!

There's worse places to be stuck!
