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

[jilljill]

That's what happens on Wednesdays........

Nah...it started yesterday with too much running thru my mind.
We've found a house we like in FL and my friend went and looked at it this evening and we are going to put a bid on it tomorrow. I was prepared to looked and put a bid in when we go down next month, not the possibility of doing a settlement that week. So we shall see what happens.

Actual cruise related question:


Does anybody know anything about Air Canada? It looks like we can catch a flight out of Philly, connect through Montreal, and head to Heathrow. Prices for this summer look very reasonable, so if we can get similar pricing for next summer, we'd be very interested.

 

[jilljill]

MIke what kind of prices are you getting for this summer?
I looked into them for last summer, but decided against the plane changes for fear my luggage wouldn't arrive. But then we didn't have to buy 5 plane tickets.

I was complaining the other day that DCL's site was not cooperating with me on making my reservations for our June cruise, turns out it wasn't the website but the fault of the reservation system. I called my TA today and she had to call DCL and they couldn't figure out why I couldn't access them since I'm a CC member. They had to override my ressie and told me to give it 24-48 hours and I would be all set to go - well I just checked it and I was able to book what I needed. I couldn't believe that brunch was still open for all 5 time choices and I was able to book DH & DD for the jetski eco-tour. I've also booked the couples spa villa but I'm not sure if I'm going to keep it for CC day or move it to Nassau day or cancel it altogether. Still need to think on that one.

Good Morning everyone

I think the calendar is WRONG!!! It was 35 degrees when I left home this morning and I had a little bit of ice on the window!

That's just wrong. It's supposed to be 45 here and rain. Granted, we need the rain BUT it could be warmer.

Glad to hear it ended up getting all straightened out and you were able to get the reservations that you wanted!

Well, have you tried the open air couple massage at CC? That is a not-to-be missed experience in my opinion. I would move the couples spa villa to Nassau day...I find it difficult to find something I want to do that day. Keep us posted!!

Well, that's pretty exciting!!!

Just a quick hello. Today is Tom's B'day so we're planning on going out to dinner. He's stuck in bumper to bumper traffic, but should be home soon. It's raining out so it makes for nasty travel.

Better than SNOW!!!!!!

The first time we ever did any spa treatment on a cruise was last summer on our Baltics cruise. I thought about the cabana massages but decided against it since they are doing the jet ski tour at 10:00 and they will snorkel and I will just relax on the beach.

I need to look at the spa villa again and see when I booked it and see if I want to change the day/time.
We will just get off the ship for a little bit to do some shopping in Nassau and then get back on and enjoy the empty ship.

Tom says thank you all for the B'day wishes!!!!!!

We never did a couple's massage but we did do the couple's spa. That was certainly an experience I'll never forget. So much for romance. Everything was tiled..... and COLD!

Tell Tom he is most welcome.

You have to be talking about the couples thing with the mud. My friends did that and afterwards she told me she would never do it again because when she sat down and made a mud print of her butt on the seat she said she didn't realize it was so big and never wanted to see that again. They hated it and wished they saved their money.
