Every nite at dinner I would ask for 2 bars for each of us at the table... then I would put them into a igloo ice chest carried in my double stroller. I had the kitchen save a block of dry ice for me which each day gets chipped off to maintain temps in my igloo. My cabin fridge was switched by special request to a mini-freezer. The only thing was it is always too small to hold all the Mickey Bars. SO I usually enlisted the aid of one of my neighbor cabins. I would get their fridge switched to the mini-freezer. That usually gives me enuf capacity.
But on the last cruise we had so many people I had a problem. SO I had to special order a 2nd mini-freezer in my cabin. This got complicated since I had a small cabin. SO I had to give up the use of my bath-tub. That's where we put the 2nd mini-freezer.
But that's not all... I had to get the captain of the Magic or Wonder to sign the award certificates. This involved obtianing the assistance of the Cruise Director. Well... I had to meet the CD to be taken personally to the captain on the BRIDGE. There we met with the 1st mate who had to sort of witness his signature as it was being affixd to each certificate. Then I had to guest relations officer to obtain a character signature(s). I usually just asked for any character to sign. So this involve more time to coordinate. I usually supplied my own pens to ink the certificates so all of the siggys would have matching ink on each award certificate.
Oh yeah... before I did any of this I had to get approval
DCL HQ on shore. SO I have to submit a specimen of the award certificate with an outline of the private event plus a request for use of the space on a semi-private basis. They reutrn a contract of what I can and cannot do. It is lengthy ... so I usually forward it to my counsel for review and approval. This got complicated as he had to refer it to another attorny who specialized in maritime law. This in turn resulted in a revision that DCL had to have their people review. I started to complain that all I wanted to do was have a tounge in cheek ice cream bar race. SO they fast rtracked it - and it came back in only 6 weeks.
Then we decided we wanted to have sprinkles on the Mickey Bars....
