8/17/08 Captain Jack's Repossession Repo Cruise to PC thru TPC #4

[GoofyontheHiSeas]

For us OCP here is what the dining schedule would look like for a 6pm rotation. Excuse the port times, this is old and forgot to change them.

This would mean that we would have both of our Formal nights in Parrot Cay.

Hey Roger ......What about the late diners who are OCP and have 8:00pm roation!!!

Ohh! This would be so cool for us linked to get 6:00 and have AP be our 1st restaurant. My Mom and I are the only 2 who have been on DCL so it will be a surprise for DH, Dd's and my dad.

One thing to think about. On our 10-night holiday cruise, we had AP the first night but they did not do "the show" that night (e.g. the restaurant did not change colors). Our waiters told us our show dinner would be later in the week b/c not everyone eats in the mess the first night and they didn't want people to miss it. Not sure how they do this on the repos.

JR, move on to the next post....

Here's my dumb question for day, I saw something similar on another thread, but figured since I won't ever go back to that one, I would ask it here....

If you rebook on board, can you transfer the ressie to another ship? Probably more specifically, is it possible now to transfer a Wonder ressie to the Magic? What about a Magic to Wonder?

Yes, thinking ahead to new ships and just wondering how DCL handles it now...

BTW, one of the Meyer Werft webcams is showing an empty bay... wonder if the Dreams or whatever the other one will be called will be there next?

Dum, de dum dum dumb.

Actually, I know you can do this (or at least you could). We took our first DCL on the Wonder, rebooked on-board then switched to a 7-day later.

Thanks for DFs birthday wishes! Our school district is projecting declining elementary enrollment over the next few years. This is debatable and have seen sources that it might actually be increasing over the same time frame. The school district has targeted our school because it is the smallest (in kids) in the district. They feel that closing the smallest school will cause the least disruption. But to take a top school and scatter us into 3 of the bottom schools really sinks as far as us parents are concerned. We have had in the past, an option of school choice. You can apply for your child to attend another school in the district other than the one your are assigned to. Funny thing happened yesterday morning, they rescinded the school choice option from our school district prior to the board meeting last night. Now only the kids from the two closing schools can school choice (sounds good so far) BUT you can only school choice to the school you are slated to move to in 2009. So basically they are allowing us to move to a school that we are assigned to a year earlier. Anyway, tonight we are having a grass roots meeting to form a charter school. We already have people working on this, so today I am reading about charter schools. Thanks again for all of your words of encouragement.

We are dealing with the opposite deal here. We voted to build a 3rd high school two years ago and the SB had picked a location in Naperville. They filed a condemnation suit to get the land and the jury came back with a very large price tag. So now they decided to change sites to a site in Aurora, IL and a group of Naperville residents are suing the school district because their kids have to go to Aurora now. Aurora does not have the best reputation (or at least not as good as Naperville) but there's nothing wrong with the HS that is in Aurora now. (My son swims for their swim team rather than for 'his' school in Naperville b/c the Naperville swim team is ultra-competitive and my son is more of a recreational kind of athlete. Of course, DS's team won the city water polo championship last summer).

You should see some of the stuff this group that is suing is putting out about the school board, all sorts of hysteria over hazardous chemicals on the new site, its proximity to power lines and railroads and natural gas pipelines under the property.

It's getting pretty toxic around here, and I don't mean the school property.

You are quite the witty one. I have a feeling we would have really gotten on well if we were on the cruise together.

My wit often gets me into trouble. I tend to say the things that other people are thinking but don't say. Like at work the other day, we were discussing that the head of our mobile division in EMEA is supposedly leaving to go to Apple. His last name is Fenger, so of course, I had to say "We're giving Apple the Fenger".

I mean, everyone in the room was thinking it. I need to work on my inner monologue.

[PBader]

Happy Belated Birthday
Julianna!

 

[KSDisneyDad]

Does that mean the late formal nights would be Lumiere's?

 

[PBader]

Wow 90! Glad you all got to enjoy the day.

 

[micmse2003]

Thanks Roger for posting the 8:00pm dining rotation that might be for the EB cruise.
You know how bad I am with computer stuff!!!

1/

I hope we will get some happy 'St Georges day' posts next week, ps Shakespeare's birthday.

2/

I know everyone likes the reports on my weight loss today I stand at

15.1 Just above the 15 stone mark, hope to break through into the 14's next week, but....... Easter.... is in the way!!

I started on December 31st at a whopping 17.7 Stone, ( ps a Stone is 14 ILB's)

So 2.6 off so far, and I might be hunky for the cruise!


and TMI, I am sitting in my 36 inch jeans tonight, for the first time since mid 2007! Hardly worn since I purchased then in Orlando in 2006.

Congrats again....just as I start to work out again, I get struck my another setback. Around 3:00 a.m. this morning I was awoken by the pain from another gout attack. I wish I knew what brought these on, but after having walked about three miles each day during the past week and a half, I now can barely walk around the house. (I was running 5 miles a day before these gout attacks started). I guess it'll be a while before I can try again. I am eating better and will do what is necessary to be at goal by the cruise!

I think that is all we can do at this point - just watch and wait (how I HATE doing that!). Hopefully we will find out that we can bring stuff with us (I've got several bottles of wine from a local vineyard that I am just dying to bring with me along with several other things that I intend on picking up in CA) and if not, hopefully we will have enough notice to plan on a bigger bar bill.

All right, so I'm thinking I get a fat suit, and use duct tape to tape the bottles around my torso...

Good luck Roger. I hope you all work out something.

Yep!!! Duct tape is is the cure for everything!!!

Yes assuming that this would be the rotation and that we follow the same schedule as the WB group. They are having Formal night their second night (works well for us sea day) and the second to the last sea day (also works for us).

Hope this bout doesn't last too long and you get to waling around better.

Thanks! I'll keep my fingers crossed as we love Lumiere's for Formal Night.

Thanks. I can't wait to walk on the flat of my foot again.
