8/17/08 Captain Jack's Repossession Repo Cruise to PC thru TPC #6

[Andrew DEREK UK]

Someone asked about their budget a few pages ago, so here is mine. Keep in mind this is for 7 people!

Cabo $500.00
Puerto Vallarta $500.00
Acapulco $500.00
Cartagena $500.00
Aruba $500.00
Castaway Cay $100.00
Tips $1,200.00
Shutters (30 6x8 and 15 8x10) $440.00
Allowance $150 per person $1,050.00
includes smooties, souvineers, snacks, pins
Spa $240.00
Wine package $400.00

I used info I found from other cruises and made some random guesses as to the amount. (Like the wine package and photos).

I think this should cover everything. We don't allow the kids to use the arcade, so we don't need that. I know our Cabo sailing trip will be more, but our Aruba will be on our own, so we should average out.

I also have a random $565 for anything that may come up.

Two words,

Second word ''HELL''

I thought I was doing well buying eight bottles of booze in adance of the cruise.

Sounds very logical, I agree with local band at PV, maybe Aruba as well, or a star like Susan Egan, we know its not her, but someone else maybe.

I am a loser, but who is Susan Egan?

 

[bellelinus]

Kevin has never been Horseback Riding and we would really like to go on this trip. The only things we have booked for sure are the Zipline in PV and Harley Tour in Aruba in the morning/early afternoon. Any suggestions?

You can book them on your own in Cabo too . . . let me know if you want the info on that . . .

FINALLY after 3 phone calls to DCL my pre-arrival packet just arrived
Julie did you get yours yet?

No, but I haven't checked today's mail yet . . . I'll let you know after I do! Fingers crossed . . . I know it's worthless but it's still fun to get.

I found them at the dollar store, I'll have extra if anyone needs them

I never could find any around here (Manhattan) last time I sailed . . . I might have to ask for for a few, Monica . . . thanks!

Esteri, I lost your quote, but the May Day pictures were lovely.

She was Belle on broadway, ask Julie!!!!

 

[bellelinus]

Original Belle on Broadway, voice of Meg in Hercules, has been in a lot of other things . . . very talented and very nice. She was on the Med repo last August.

 

[poohmomof5]

She was Belle on broadway, ask Julie!!!!

Oh

 

[bellelinus]

She was Belle on broadway, ask Julie!!!!

So stop answering for me if you know I will answer anyway, Andrew . . . I'm off for a bit, have fun getting the 100,000th . . .

 

[renknt]

Oh my God I am posting fluff.

 

[MrsScooby]

And here's our little one. The moms who's youngest child is celebrating their last kindergarten May Day get to help make the flower crowns. I helped Issac with his. It was really fun.

Great Pics Thanks for posting

Poor crash, lets all just wait and not post until he comes back.

We are as harmless bunch aren't we?

Better to get ignored when I put my foot in my mouth than get flamed

Do we have an idea of when the onboard activities that are being planned will be held? I know there is not a set time yet but an idea of when everyone would like them to be held?

The tastings (wine, martini, etc.) won't get scheduled until later, maybe as late as August. They will most likely be in the afternoon on sea days though-after lunch.

Anyone else getting excited about the WB starting next week?
I am really looking forward to getting more details about the 15nt cruise

Oh yeah

I do know thatthe cabin tour is on the 18th .. time to be determined but I would like to do it about 11:00 so everyone is up and I still have time to get ready for my VR.

Works for me

She was Belle on broadway, ask Julie!!!!

Oh, that

Oh, that is

DH and DS11 are planning on doing an ATV tour either in Cabo, or PV
In Cabo they were looking at this one http://www.cabosanlucastours.net/Los-Cabos-ATV-Tour.htm
I don't know if the time will work though as they would have to take the 12:30pm time and it is 3.5 hours making it 4pm by the time they are done and to me that is cutting it too close to the all aboard time of 4:30pm

I just emailed DH your link above to see what he thinks

They are also considering the Mini jeep Rhino adventure through DCL in Acapulco

DD13 and I will be doing the horseback riding at whatever stop they decide to do the ATV

I read that description too fast and had to reread it when something caught my eye:

Includes: Helmet, Bandana and Goggles for dust protection, Bottles of water, Semi-automatic ATV, Bilingual Guide (English and Spanish).

That one has obvious advantages too. They offer transportation to/from port and the kids an opportunity to pass a driving test regardless of age (assuming your DS11 was wanting to drive). But the schedule would seem tight.

We were figuring we'd need to rent a car to drive to the Desert Park location...I didn't ask if they have a shuttle or for other transportation ideas. Maybe if we had a a small group, they'd help arrange something. I scheduled 11am, as I didn't think 10am would allow enough time to tender into Cabo and arrange transportation to the Desert park location. Yet, we should be done by 1pm with time to get back and hit Cabo Wabo and other sites in town.

Keep me informed on which, if either, tour they are planning on.

That told me off, I have had a day of that,!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Hope you enjoy your ''Bit' that youre going to 'ave,

Oh, that is AWESOME!!!

No fluff here...

 

[justmestace]

I would be very surprised if they changed it, there will be so many repeat cruisers on our cruise, the slots will go fast, and it would need them to reprogram me there computers, and it would effect the bookings at 75 days,

The Cat 1/2/3 can tell us tonight when they get to their 105 days mark, of course those wanting to go more than once can arrive at port early and make a request

I'm taking notes for things people want me to check on tonight. So I will be able to tell if we can have one or two Palo dinners.
If anyone wants to know anything, send me a PM, I might miss it here.

 

[Andrew DEREK UK]

Oh, that is

You might possibly have noticed when 2005's pirate night was as well!

 

[renknt]

I Should really stop this and get back to my workout, but this is more fun

 

[cruisin'Mike]

baseball, and a party, and a school project, and we're PIF

Yay Lisa!!

Congrats!

Here's some pirate bananas for you!

I have sent them an email asking their opinion on the time for the tour and the ship port time. I will let you know what they say and what DH decides to do

Thank you for that, it will be good to know, but I bet one of each, only. Even if your name is Mickey or Minnie
