Good luck everyone. Hope we ALL get our reservations!!!!

Jude - What all are you going to have DH try for tonight? Does he have the directions down?

I am correcting student projects and watching the movie Australia right now (well, surfing the DIS some too - I am a huge multitasking sort of person). I figure I need things to do to pass the time until I can log in!

Tell Sean good luck!

LOL - accidentally posted under DS's name...

Here's what I was trying to post:

Duty-Free Alcohol

I am wondering if there is a list of the duty-free alcohol that is available on board? We may bring some wine on but I am wondering what our options are for purchase once we get on board.
To save on $$$, we are thinking a nice drink in the room before dinner or before going out would cut down on what we spend.

Hi Jen,
I am fairly certain you cannot consume what you buy in the duty free shop on board They do, however, have good deals, and usually have a different special every day.

St. Thomas also has good deals and, paradoxically, I believe whatever you buy in port is yours to consume during or after the cruise!

We are not big drinkers to begin with, and are often so full!!! on the cruise that we don't drink any of the beer/wine coolers that we bring on board. However, I posted a question on the main boards about not buying drinks when watching the shows in Diversions, etc. and folks said you can just bring your own! We may just do that!

Oh no, that will ruin my plans! I didn't want to carry to much on board because our luggage will be totally full!!! Last time we had our rolling cooler but this year with luggage restrictions, we are not bringing it.

I would not say that I plan on being a big drinker......but I would like to relax with a drink or two at night if I want one.

Well, I will just have to figure this one out...good thing we are renting a car to get us to port! We can at least stop and pick up something to bring on board.

Thanks for letting me know.

Jen,

Where are you staying the night before the cruise?? Ship your rolling cooler ahead of you...Then stop when you get your car and get what you need and fill your cooler to bring onboard...Then ship your rolling cooler home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think it would just be easier to purchase a cheap one on our way to port (a quick stop at Target or something). Since we have to stop for some drinks, we might as well get a cooler!!!

Are you planning on booking a bunch tonight? I have my list ready...just want to review the directions. Only 1 1/2 hours to go!!!!

Urgh! It is 4:10am here! DH has been poorly so I didn't want to subject him to a very early wake up call so I have had a measley 4 hours sleep on the sofa. We have house rabbits who thought it would be hilarious to chase round their hutch and wake me up periodically though so I feel BLEURGH!

Please please please let the system be working well today, I am not sure I can face a dreadful night with no sleep AND no reservations!

Mel -

I am so sorry that the time difference makes it so hard for all of you! It would be so horrible to have to be up at such crazy hours to get your reservations!

I will be thinking positive thoughts for all of us tonight! Especially everyone who has to give up serious amounts of sleep to get what they want.

Pixie Dust headed your way ...

Had some grapes and some iced water to wake me up a bit! Not having proper breakfast yet as I am going to do a little workout on the wii fit after bookings to make the most of quiet time before everyone here gets up!

Good for you, Mel! My WiiFit novelty wore off prematurely in less than one month! I need to get back to it.

However, I am getting the family interested in this Castaway Cay 5k thing...does anyone have any info on it? Is it on the DCL website?

19 minutes!!! oops...I meant NINE minutes! WooHoo!!!
