Subject: Important: Increase in Government Taxes and Fees for your PanamaCanal Crossing Disney Cruise Line Vacation


Dear Valued Dreams Unlimited Travel Client

We have just been informed by Disney Cruise Line that the Panama Canal has recently adjusted the per person amount charged for Government Taxes and Fees to transit the canal. As a result, Disney Cruise Line needs to collect an additional $100 per person booked on these cruises.

Dreams Unlimited Travel will be updating all of our client’s reservations in our system over the next week or so with the new reservation totals. Once we have completed updating your reservation we will send you an email with instructions on how to access your Client Services area of our site to review your new pricing. We appreciate your patience as this process may take an extended period of time while we make sure all our client’s reservations are updated accurately.

We apologize for this inconvenience and hope you understand that this increase is for the Government Taxes and Fees being assessed by the Panama Canal. This increase is not coming from Dreams Unlimited Travel.

Sincerely,

The Cruise Concierge Team
Dreams Unlimited Travel

I just got this sad sad email too!

Oh well when I told DH, he didn't tell me to cancel. So that's a good sign considering he's already balking at the cost!

On a lighter note....we just received our passports this morning just in time for our Bahamas cruise next week!

Here are 2 of my favorite photos from our last cruise.
Our Lifestyle photo:

And our Palo Night:

Kevin had shaved of his mustache and goatee just before the cruise(easier for snorkeling)...first time in 27 yrs. that I'd seen him without a mustache

Nice pictures Debi!!!

Wonder when the cut off was for paying it off? If I just sent the check last week and still have to pay extra, well i will be bummed.




What a cutie............that would be my Dante also.

Tina maybe you made it under the wire!!!

Not to long because the dog wants to eat the pieces so we do it pretty quick. I think that might have been during the big power outage when we didn't have anything else to do.

We used puzzle glue and then put it in a black frame. If you look close you can see it in the back of this picture.

I think I need to hang up my puzzle too!!! It is hiding under the couch for the last two years.

How long did your take???? I went April 11th and still nothing.

Cheryl we applied on May 2nd. We also put that we were sailing on Aug. 3rd so maybe that's why they got here just shy of 12 weeks?

I guess I am going to call the passport office. It is open til midnight!!!

Woohoo! Good job Cheryl!!!

Don't worry about me sending another cake. It took me over an hour how to figure it out. By tomorrow I will have forgotten how.

well, new update...
no little dis baby born in march...at least not from us!
not sure what is going on...but i went in for a blood test today just to confirm, and it came back that i am not pg...i took 2 at home ones that said i was, and that is what i based it on the other day. guess i jumped the gun...
only good thing is that i miscalculated, and we have one more month to try!! thing is it would make for a very very young infant on the cruise. we'll see how things work out.

Ah sweetie, I'm so sorry. We tried for 10 yrs. just wasn't meant to be,for us anyway.

 

[dahuffy]

And by the way, thank you for all the nice compliments! I hate having my picture taken. When did I turn into my Mother?

 

[justmestace]

Aw, Shannon! I feel a loss. But....there's always next month. Have fun trying!

So where are the Harry Potter fans on the thread? Still pouring through the 759 pages?

Finished it yesterday after work! We bought 2 copies so DW and I wouldn't fight over it. We ordered them before she switched jobs. Now she works 12 hour shifts on the weekends and hasn't had time to touch it yet. We could have gotten by with just one copy. But more impoortantly, I can't wait til she finishes so I can talk about it without spoiling anything.

Jared and I are flying Southwest tomorrow to Omaha. I don't like the "no seat assignment" thing, but have to admit, they do make the flight entertaining.
When we flew to Vegas last month, one flight attendant had us in stitches the whole time.

We were afraid of the no assigned seating on SWA, but since we tried them, we won't go back to US Scare again.

I'm with DU also and there's nothing added to ours ...yet.

We got our email from DU tonight. It stinks, but I'm glad I heard about it here first and didn't totally freak out when I got the email.

I agree that maybe we'll try to spend a little less on the cruise. If needed, we can cut off a pre-cruise day at DL, but I really don't want to. After all, it's the TOAL.

I did some research about Shingles after I returned home from the doc this morning. I did read where it stated that a rash does not always show up. I don't know how they could have gone on for so long, this pain is ungodly at times. I took my meds about 10:30am and the Lyrica knocked me out for a couple of hours, but when I woke up, my chest felt as though it was on fire again, this is no fun, whatsoever..............

Andy, so sorry to hear about your case of Shingles. Hope the meds kick in and have you feeling better soon.

I had Chicken Pox when I was a wee little lad, from what I understand the CP virus stays inactive in your body, but things such as stress can make the virus active again. I think the stress that I have been under at work most likely triggered the Shingles. I truly don't remember there being a vaccination for Chicken Pox (I could be wrong), but I think we might have gotten a vaccination for Small Pox when I was younger. Maybe someone in the medical profession could help us out with this??? I know we got vaccinated for a whole bunch of stuff.

I also remember getting the measles when I was a Senior in high school........... Boy, did I get teased about that.........

The Chicken Pox vaccine was liscensed in 1995. Newer is the Shingles vaccine. The CDC recommended in Oct of last year that people over 60 should receive the vaccine. One of my part-time jobs is at the Vaccine Education Center at Children's Hospital. Here's a link to some info about the vaccine:

right..you know..the older you go...the % chances for twins..go up

..ahh, iam sure you guys can handle them.

from what i am reading...is this true?...if we pay off our cruise before
they add these new taxes....then they can't/won't????

but from our math whiz... , they are soaking the others for
the loss revenues?..instead of $25, its $100? that is business savy but
not disney like?

..oh, tell mr.dahuffy..i never could look that good....shaved or unshaven,

forgetting..yor signature quote about shoes...would be prefect match...
..with my wife's attitude.

Good Morning Everyone
I didn't have time to get back on here last night. Good reason though, We finished our puzzle within a puzzle. Yes Brooke helped and even Dante with 2 pieces. I don't think his work will show through though. Here is the pic. of it. Hope you can see all the detail, it was really hard. Off to post office, bank and frame shop to get puzzle framed to be put in our bedroom. I will ketchup later. Tina

I am totally in awe of your work!
My DD's (11 and 7) worked on this puzzle for 30 mins and got 8 pieces and we were not even sure those were correct. We gave up.

I'm only posting this image 'cause certain friends are on Kauai now and less likely to see it ... <chuckles>

Can you imagine the look on a clerk's face if you threw 2 legs on the counter

Hi All,
We had a wonderful vacation--lots of rest and relaxation. What a beautiful place!
