message!

 

[shellgoodman]

Well, I am putting in any number configuration I can and still can't figure out what I am doing wrong. I am using the confirm # and my TAs phone #. Is that right or should be using the guest or reservation numbers? Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

 

[randytenn]

Ok, Ok, I was nervous of being flamed for quote unquote hacking the site. But since everyone is asking, I'll let you know how.

Here is how you do it. You need to find your TA's phone number, and their affiliation number. For example, my TA is IATA. There IATA number is listed on the documents they gave me. So,go to this website enter the phone number, and the affiliation number, along with what type of affiliation it is (in the drop down menu). You can then pull up your reservation (as long as you booked it through the TA), and get a printable confirmation.

I assume that this is not a big deal, as there was no password protection on the site, and the affiliation numbder is not protected by the TA. On my previous cruise, I was able to see the sight merely with the TA's phone number.

Hi I'm Liz and I will be on the 9/7 Disney cruise. It will be me (36) DH (39) DS (almost 6) DD (3) and my Mom (young enough!)....
My DH and I will be celebrating our 9th anniversary on 9/11. It wasn't such a tragic day, 9 years ago.
But I'm very excited....It's our 1st cruise and look forward to meeting y'all.

 

[randytenn]

Most excellent, Liz! It should be a great cruise. I hope you're getting a ton of information from the boards.

See ya in 7 days!

 

[tstobb]

Thanks randytenn but mine still won't work - tells me the res had to have been booked on the website in order to view.

Liz - we spent our 10th anniversary on our 1st cruise ever on the Wonder without the kids & loved it so much we're spending our 13th this year (on the 9th) with the whole gang (DS9, DS7, DD4).

The paper chains are getting so short, I had to lower them today!




Maybe if I jump on the counter it will go faster ! ! !

 

[Brent B]

Are we there YET

 

[shellgoodman]

Welcome Liz! My family lives in Suwanee, GA so we are pretty close to you. We have 2 girls 4 & 2.

As for as checking reservations are concerned, my TA did not book on the web so I won't be able to access this either. Thanks for spelling it out though Randy. Some of us need real guidance with this trip!

 

[Quickdraw]

After waiting so long to be here, I am enjoying this last little bit of pre cruise time. Sending out reminder emails at work I will be gone next week and sneeking it in that we will be cruising ( or as my husband prefers to call it "we will be out of the country")every chance I get. Anyone else loving this week? I am watching the weather channel a lot lately though. I try to watch the coast of Africa and count out the days to see if any TS will affect us.

Did anyone figure out how we are suppose to wear those lime green ribbons yet?


Janice

 

[myfairygodmother]

I think I have finally given up on finding Lime Green ribbon--we don't have a Hobby Lobby in Charleston. I ended up getting BRIGHT Green plastic leis at Party City for a quarter a piece(the girl's think these are more fun!). We(the adults) will be wearing them at the port and sail-a-way party--I'm sure the little one will wear her's most of the trip(or at least until it gets broken)!

I'm trying to finish all of my last minute "stuff" today as the rest of the week is looking quite iffey thanks to tropical storm Eduordo. Maybe by Friday we can just get out our inner tubes and float down I-95 to the port!!!

 

[bjspalding]

Hi Folks!!! I am not on the 9/7/02 cruise but am going on the 11/9/02 "MAGIC". I just wanted to say "HAVE A GREAT TIME"!!! I am so excited for you. I still have 67 days left, and can't wait. You mustn't be able to sit still at this point. Again, have a wonderful trip. I will be praying that "Dolly" fizzles out!
Bonnie

 

[mcoverv]

It's almost time!!!!!!

We are almost all packed and I only have to work today and tomorrow! Yipee!!!!

We are all so excited that we can not sit down. We are always going through the documents or finding one more thing to pack. The kids are more than ready to go and ask "How many more days?" at least 12 times a day.

Hope everyone has a wonderful time!!! See ya on board!

 

[randytenn]

AAARRRGGHH!!!

It's so close, I can smell the salty sea air, I can hear the hum of the engines, I can feel the gentle movement of the ship, as it rocks, back and forth, back and forth, back and . . .

Where's my Dramamine!

 

[tstobb]

Leaving Thursday - 2 days at Dis then, according to DD4 it's "Off to Neverland"! TeeHee - the little ones think we're staying at the AS but we bumped to the Contemporary - 1st time in a deluxe!

Watched the Magic pull out of Key West on Sunday & called all of the kids into the room to say goodbye - last time we'll see her untill it's our turn AND NOW IT'S ALMOST HERE!


I still haven't started packing.
Have to mow the lawn.
Remember to stop the mail & paper.
Set the timers for the lights.
Get the kids next door to keep an eye on things.
Oh, yeah, HAVE FUN!!!!!!

 

[wolfeaew]

Good to see we aren't the only ones who haven't packed yet! We do have a list though, which is much more prepared than we usually are 3 days before a vacation.

Leaving Fri night and staying at the Hampton Inn. Anyone else with that plan? DD(3) is very excited, DS(4 mo.) is clueless, and DH is bouncing off the walls! Not long now...

 

[shellgoodman]

We're staying at the Hampton Inn Friday night also but I have a feeling that we won't get there til late. We are leaving Atlanta around 1pm and then have about a 9 hr drive plus potty breaks. We'll see you at breakfast the next morning I am sure. If you don't see us, I am sure that you'll hear us. My girls can be loud and my husband has the Long Island accent (not too heavy though)!

The Goodmans consist of:

Shelley (38)
Andy (35)
Rachel (4)
Lauren (2)

Hi everyone, we were trying to fill out our docs last night and I noticed the immigration form was Bahamas Immigration. Just wondered if we fill this out and did the kids forms needed to be completed even though we don't want them to have charging rights on their KTTW card. What did everyone else do?

Thanks

Janice

 

[myfairygodmother]

Hi Janice!

It's my understanding that the Bahamas form has to be completed for every cruise because Castaway Cay is in the Bahamas. The children's forms also have to be completed with the exception of the credit card form. Also, the only way to prevent charging on the children's cards is to go to guest services once onboard and have their charging priveledges turned off.

Hopefully we'll get into the Radisson early enough on Friday night to do some swimming and maybe we'll get to see yall there! Just look (or listen) for the little redhead trying to run the show!!

Our group is:

Elizabeth(33)
Jessie(8)
Abbey(almost 4)
Kelley(33)

 

[wolfeaew]

Quickdraw -- I had the same questions about the documents! Thanks for posting that.

Shell -- will your husband be asking where the 'cawfee' is, just like me?! Somehow I have the accent without having grown up there. My husband ribs me about it to no end.

Maybe we'll see you at breakfast Sat morning! We are:

Anne (30)
Dave (33)
Emma (3)
Henry (4 mo.)
