9/3/09 Wonder Labor day Weekender

Yay for 10 days!!!! I'm getting my suitcase out tonight! I can't help it... I'm ready to go!!!
 

My family and I are leaving Wednesday afternoon (after my brother and I get out of school) and driving to Jacksonville Navy Base. That way we only have 2 1/2 hours to drive on Thursday!!! Let's all hope that the weather is perfect all weekend!!!!!
 
I can't believe the 3rd is almost here!!! We have been waiting all year for this to come!!! And it is almost here!!!!
 
Here is the background:

long time lurker on these boards finally posting because I have stepped in it big time. As a surprise birthday gift for my daughter, I purchased 2 cabins last minute for the 9/3/09 cruise. Great right, wonderful dad!! Big problem, I didn't realize my infant daughter had to be added on to the rooms. So I get the cruise documents and my wife starts freaking out because our youngest daughter isn't included. I call DCL and they tell me ship is full.

We have a category 6 and a category 7. Category 7 says it only fits 3 people, but the category 6 says it fits 3 or 4. So I call first thing this morning and they tell me there is nothing they can do because our cabin only fits 3.

Arggg, I can't really complain because it was my fault for not putting her on the reservation, but shouldn't the cabin I reserved be able to fit 4. The guy I spoke to was nice and consulted his supervisor, but they can't help me. I asked if they could simply switch a cabin that only has 3 to our cabin and move us to theirs but they said they can't ask people to move.

So, if they can't ask people to move I figured I can come on here and ask if anyone sailing on the Sept. 3 cruise on the Wonder would be willing to switch their 4 person category 6 cabin for my 3 person. I realize this is a long shot at best, but the alternative is me staying at home and putting my infant daughter in my place. We have 3 adults going so the rooms would have enough adults in them to watch the kiddos.

The ultimate last minute birthday gift for my daughter is turning into my ultimate nightmare. If anyone has any suggestions please feel free to share them with me.


If anyone is able to help and switch cabins I would be eternally grateful and I would without a doubt like to meet up with you on the cruise to show my appreciation.

I WONDER if anyone on this meet wants to spread some pixie dust and add the baby to their room (perhaps someone with only two in a room?) A baby would never have charge privileges or a key so no worries. You could pay with your credit card and just confirm no charging privileges, so they don't have to worry about getting reimbursed! I'll bet you would even treat them to a Palo dinner on board!!!
 
Disney came through and allowed us to change our sail dates even though the mistake was clearly my fault. We have a sail date that will allow all of us to travel together.

Thanks to all of you that offered your help or kind words..
 
Hi all... Tropical Storm Erika may affect us. The storm models are all over the place right now, and they are having a hard time predicting where she will be this weekend. Just be prepared in case we are a- rockin' :scared1:
