Hi everyone - just got caught up again... This working all day and then chaufering around DS7 really cuts into DIS time!

Would you believe that last night DH noticed that DCL never charged our VISA for the deposit on our "placeholder" cruise from our Jan13 Western rebooking? Fortunately, it doesn't impact this Pirate cruise at all -but it seems to be the same problem some folks here had in December and I saw another post from the week before we sailed. They just failed to charge our card and then dropped the ressie! I called today and a supervisor has "reinstated" my reservation but their procedures require that they email Leslie on the Magic to confirm that we did make the reservation onboard with her. The supervisor is supposed to call me back tomorrow with the OK to proceed and then get our VISA number for the deposit. Since we are one of the few that totally lucked out and were allowed to fill out a form on board that added us to IC's list AND we lucked out in that IC actually did their job and had a ressie in the system for us - this placeholder reservation isn't vitally important. We are considering keeping it so we can book a cruise when 2009 becomes available and move this ressie - but maybe not - I sort of hate to let DCL hold my deposit cash for that long ... Anyway, we decided to make DCL fix it just because they shouldn't be making this type of mistake in the first place! We happened to notice what happened, but what about people who book it and then don't really pay any attention to it for months since the next cruise is so far off?

The really weird bit is that when I called the Castaway Club number this evening to take care of this (too busy at work today to call from there) I actually got the same CM that I talked to on the 30th. I had called then to find out why IC had never called us, since Leslie (on board booking) had told us when we filled out the form that we would be called "before the 31st". Of course, I knew from the DIS that almost no one seemed to have been called - but I called and played dumb. He was really trying to help and tried to tell us to just wait and IC would call in a few days - of course, we didn't believe him and joined the frantic calling on the 31st with everyone else - but when we finally got through, DCL had our reservation in the system and we just had to confirm we wanted it and pay the deposit. I felt so bad watching all the panic here that day when it worked out so perfectly for us - I don't know why lady luck smiled on us this time, we aren't usually all that lucky with stuff!

Anyway - I guess its sort of a good and bad contrast story: DCL really did great for us for this cruise and totally screwed up our other booking .

Well, it looks like LOST is finally over. I don't watch it since I can't handle suspense or scary stuff at all (I never watch anything that might bother "more sensitive viewers" ) and DH was watching it in our bedroom. Now that the TV is off, I'm going to go collapse. Thankfully, tomorrow should be less hectic (except that I am going to start setting up the new PC's at work so who knows what that will bring ...)

Night-night All!

Glad half your story was a happy one and

This pirate would look good on my T shirt.

 

[allshookup]

OK...this is what I thought that I was posting earlier.

well sorry I liked the other one better!

Or a Cleveland fan . Actually, I do feel sympathy for Cleveland, I think Cleveland fans have had more misery than about any other city, not just in the NFL, but also MLB and NBA. I mean, what other city comes up w/websites like:

YEP that's my life!
Although there is a certain satisfaction I get from telling Broncos fan I meet that I was there for The Drive.

 

[got2travel]

Now that's more like it

 

[allshookup]

So, you need a man to bring you Wenches good luck?

That about sums it up.

Men Rule, Wenches Drool (over men).

Arrrrrrrgh! You're a rascally pirate!

 

[lbgraves]

Isn't that all you need to know?

OH NO!!!!!! Someone saw it before I could delete that! I didn't realize I hadn't copied the smilie code.

 

[atakaratemom]

Way to go Lisa! Now that's what I call a Mascot!

 

[captaincrash]

Wow Captain!
I saw you in the other thread about pirate costumes and it's the first time I've seen pictures of you NOT dressed up in your pirate CJS gear... you look so totally different!

Well...

OK... how about this family photo from our last sailing (or 2 back???)...

 

[lbgraves]

Um, what? I hope her break isn't too long and I hope everything is okay.

Everything is fine...just spending too much time on the boards & starting to ignore life. I can relate.

 

[got2travel]

Nah, he doesn't do it for me. LOL (I know you think by now I'm just being difficult but seriously... too much of a baby face/young/etc. for me. I'm all about JS.)

How about this?

 

[BibbidyBobbidyBoo]

Difficult? You? Naaaaah! Actually I like that you don't follow a leader. You speak your mind! I like that! After all this is a group of pirates aint it? Who ever heard of a pirate following rules?

And actually he's waaaaaay to young for me too. But he's cute.

LOL Thanks...

Yeah, he's too young and looks it. But he didn't have a CHANCE with JD in the movie... not a chance in ... you know. (atleast in my ever so outspoken opinion)

 

[arlenesp]

Nite y'all. Try to catch up tomorrow

 

[BibbidyBobbidyBoo]

How about this?

ohhhhhhhh
Now you're talking!

 

[DisneyVegas1]

Hey, it could be worse, you could be a Vikings or Bills fan.

Im Hello ....I am a Bills have ...and have been since I entered this world ...And I am Very Proud of It ..

 

[allshookup]

ohhhhhhhh
Now you're talking!

Yes but could he at least take a bath first?

 

[lbgraves]

well sorry I liked the other one better!

Well....I may not have answered the question that way but the pictures were nicer to look at. LOL! I swear...normally I would go after a pair of scissors if a guy's hair was that long but knowing that it is for the role...I can tollerate it.

 

[got2travel]

ohhhhhhhh
Now you're talking!

I've got plenty more where that came from.....see in my sig....proud to be a CJS DIS Wench.......(the real one, not Todd....don't wanna offend Melissa)

 

[atakaratemom]
