Ahoy! Sailing the Wonder 2/8/09

[ljm23]

LJM: Does everyone get that welcome tray once onboard or did you order that. Its looks delicious!!!

Kelly, that countdown is precious! I wouldn't change a thing!.
About the "welcome aboard" it's one of the things you can order by calling or faxing them. There's a link on the webpage when you look at your reservation. It's about $40 which isn' t too bad considering the champagne. I've surprised my guys with it on both trips, it's a really nice way to start the cruise. You could always just order the treats too and bring your own drink if you wanted.

What a great way to countdown!! Very cute. I am starting to freak a little...still no docs! I will give it till tomorrow. Has anyone ordered anything to be in their cabin upon arrival? I was thinking of ordering a dairy-free cake. My youngest has a dairy allergy and she rarely gets cake.

Does anyone know how the beer mug works?

Is it one price then free refills? or reduced price refills?

How much is the mug/refills?

Trying to decide if I should bring beer on with me or get the mug.

 

[jedijill]

I don't know the prices but I do know that you get the large size for the smaller price. I've heard the mugs are heavy glass.

My DD is finally getting excited. I have 2 new underwater cameras I can't wait to try. Maybe I can ask to try them in my gym's pool...

Hey CB...you don't know the beer mug works?? Totally joking

It's a tall thick/heavy glass mug. You pay for the mug filled with beer the first time and then pay a reduced price for refills. It's worth it. I'm bringing mine back and also bringing some beer for the room. Drink prices can really add up quick! See ya for a beer at the Goofy pool at 3?

Mike and Jill, thanks for the info.

Yes, I will have a beer with you at 3. Can you get Yuengling by the Goofy pool or only in Diversions?

Yuengling isn't distributed here. Although I just had a friend bring some Black & Tan back from Pittsburgh I am looking forward to some of their Premium on board in two weeks.

Brett,

If you want good beer you should come visit me in Colorado....home of all the microbrews!

Can't wait to see you all by the Goofy pool!

Hey Brett. I don't know if my post read exactly as I intended....I meant I was totally joking about the beer mug thing.

Don't know about the beer selection at the Goofy pool. Actually I think they do beer and wine tastings on board...at least they did 2 or 3 years ago. I am so ready to have fun. My wife Laura (ljm23) is totally stressed and can't wait to go!! I listened to her on a business call with people from Japan late last night...lets just say I'm proud of her and understand why she can't wait! LOL!

Good morning all!
My docs came yesterday to TA's office. I may be waiting at her door this morning before she gets there!!
There's another VERY IMPORTANT thing off the list! Things are finally starting to come together! A few more details and I think the madness that is packing can begin! Glad everyone else is making progress too

 

[plaidsmom1]

Am I the only one that hasn't gotten their docs? Refillable beer mugs huh!!! My DH will be glad to hear about that.

TIP: Those with 2nd dinner seating - just nibble your food on pirate night or you'll be too full for the feast. FYI - last time they had the bedtime chocolates at the party. Boy is that good chocolate!!!

 

[anetnmike]
