Any 10-16-04 cruisers yet?

[Zandy595]

wide awake ~ I'm glad you mentioned the GTY on the excursion confirmation paper. It says that on mine too, even though I've had my stateroom number since the day I booked, in January.

Did you book with a TA? We did. I think that might be the reason it says GTY. Anyone know?

Good Morning ....I sound like one of those dreaded "morning people" don't I? You know the ones who get up and can function the minute their feet get out of bed and actually be nice about it. Well, I'm not. I have to have my coffee and read my paper before anyone even looks at me. However, my DH is one of "them". I have almost killed him many a morning. No one should be so darned cheerful or talkative before 11am. As a matter of fact....I have always said that mornings shouldn't start until 11am. (And then end at 12.)

Anyway.....have to go to the hairdresser's this morning and then go shopping . I know, I know, tough job but somebody has to do it. Thought I'd just pop in and say hello before I went.

So, hello.

Wide awake, I booked our cruise directly through DCL. I just received the excursion confirmation letter in the mail, and it had my stateroom number on it. So, it sounds like you are right saying that maybe it says GTY on your confirmation letter because you booked through a TA.

It sounds like you have picked some fun things to do on Castaway Cay. The banana boat ride sounds like a lot of fun!

I only have a GNTY, I wanna' a room number...

Sandy...we'll await your pm. I can't wait for the signs, it's just another step in the process! We're gettin' so close! I can't wait! I think I wanna' cancel our Castaway Cay snorkel gear reservation. I read in Passporter's you don't really need a reservation I dunno'. I got Mekayla fins, a mask and a snorkel, but I haven't seen anything for me yet. There isn't a lot of snorkeling going on here in Oregon! We made priority seating for the Luau at the Polynesian and now Mekayla says she doesn't wanna' cut a day at the Park short to go to the 5:15pm dinner show. Oh well...saves me about $80.00! hmmm...better head over to the disney web site and cancel that... talk to you princesses later.

Sandy

Thanks for the magnet signs, they turned out great!

 

[tevagirl]

Hi All!
Still working on the name pins...I'll let you know.

Libby....I sent you a PM with all the information about the Illuminations cruise.

Hello All,
I am really getting excited about the cruise now that the shore trips are booked. Does anyone have a little girl in the 7 year old range who would want to connect with my Jessa before the cruise? I have listed our shore trips below:

St. Maarten
French Riviera Beach Rendevous

St Thomas
Paradise Point Tramway
Charlotte Amalie Historical Walking Tour

Castaway Cay
Parasailing 10:30

Have a great day!
Kathy

 

[tevagirl]

Kathy....my DS, DGS, DSIL and some of our friends are doing the parasail at 10:30 too.

Hi Princesses!
39 days today for us...I'm doing the "Happy Dance!"
Sandy...The signs look awesome...Mekayla FREAKED when she saw the layout for her sign. I PM'd you. Sorry it took me so long to get back on the o.k.
Well, I got fins, a snorkel and a mask today for me, guess some people do snorkel in Oregon after all, who knew! I hope Disney's not too hard core on that "everyone must wear a life vest while snorkeling at Castaway Cay" rule. I don't have one. Anyone know if they'll give you grief over not wearing a floatation device? Mekayla has one, and I'm a Navy Vet (no fear of the water here) so I hope they don't. 39 days baby... 39 days.

 

[tevagirl]

Dear Fellow Princess (aka Thea)....when we were there last year they did require everyone who was snorkeling to wear a vest but they provided them.

 

[WldWcnWmn]

Thanks for letting me know. I was planning on bringing Mekayla's floatation vest anyway, as we're doing Trunk Bay, and she wants to snorkel the trail but if they offer vests at Castaway Cay, that's cool.
If I don't stop buying stuff, we'll have nothing left to go shopping on when we hit St. Martin. I was planning on three bags for our two week vacation, and I've already got four bags packed! Looks like it's gonna' be three bags each at this rate.
I'm so giddy about the trip...I hope we get down to Florida o.k. Good Guys had portable DVD players on sale for $99.99 so, I got one for Mekayla to watch whatever she wants on the plane. Hopefully that'll knock off a few hours for her.

 

[tevagirl]

Thea? Do you have the feeling we are all alone here?

Have to tell you what happened to me at work yesterday. First let me tell you a little about myself. I know that I sound young, tall and thin but trust me when I tell you that I am none of the above. So....I am in the back of the unit filing some reports when the woman (Diane) who is training to take my place during my vacations comes back and tells me that there are some guys here to run computer lines for some new equipment that is going in. Now, these guys can't just walk in to the treatment area because we have patients in various stages of undress back there. So I go walking up to escort them back and I cut through our break room which is carpeted. Now...on my feet are these Easy Spirit shoes that I got when we were in Myrtle Beach this past May. These shoes have been very comfortable since the first day I put them on but unfortunately over the last few months they have kind of stretched out of shape and are a little loose on my feet. I am about three feet from the computer guys (all four of them) when I promptly fall flat on my face at their feet. I don't know what happened (but I think it was those darn shoes!) but I literally went from erect to prone in about 2 seconds. No stumbling, no down on my knees, just flat on my face. Now, you know how most people's reactions would be to either gasp and cry "OMG, are you okay?" (which is what I heard from Diane who was behind me) or to laugh hysterically (which I must admit I have done in the past when I was on the standing up end). Well these guys just stood there with absolutely no reaction on their faces at all. Just stood there looking at me. I swear if I could have read their minds they all would have been saying "Oh please...not now..I don't have time for this." So I pick myself up, rub my poor rug burned knees (and my ego) and escort these morons into the back where they can do their stupid computer line running job. I still can't believe those guys. Their reaction (or actually their lack of one) was hysterical! If it wasn't so funny I would have kicked their butts. Of course...I would have had to do that yesterday because my muscles hurt so bad today I couldn't even take on a puppy. Anyway...just thought I'd share my humiliation with all of you.

Talk to later, Denise

 

[wide awake]

Hi Denise,
I'm 42 and I have decided that lots of the people younger than myself really have no reactions or thoughts...my sister discovered the same thing when she taught 9th grade English last year. By the way, I'm tall...guess I'm thin, and no one is more of a clod than I am...if there is a dust mote to trip on I will find it.

Well, here I am on the computer when I should be getting ready to go out and fight the crowds for hurricane supplies. At the moment it looks like Frances is coming straight at us. I am scared to death because I've never been in a BAD hurricane (I guess that's a good thing) and don't know what to expect. We have hurricane shutters, that I hope DH will put up before it's too late. DH is a corrections officer and if/when a hurricane comes he's required to be at the jail the whole time, which leaves me and Brendan alone.

It's beautiful outside right now though. That's going to change BIG time in a couple days, unless Frances turns and stays out at sea. If it goes a little more north it's going to hit Port Canaveral.

Hello Everybody: We are newbies (just the two of us) joining your fun group on 10/16. We are booked for the 12 Metre Regatta (him) and Under Two Flags tour (me) for St. Maarten Anyone joining either of us???

 

[Zandy595]

cinric ~ Welcome to the boards! My parents booked the 12 Metre Regatta.





Hurricane Frances
OK, I guess I was wrong. IF the hurricane stays on it's projected path (they have no idea right now if it will) it's going to go right through the Port Canaveral area. A little better for my family, not good for DCL. However, a lot of things could change over the next couple days. What they call a 'projection cone' (I think) has it possibly going anywhere from the Keys to South Carolina.

 

[Julebobo]

Denise, If you think that is bad you should hear what happened to me in Hawaii a few years back. I was on this boat at Peart Harbor, and I passed out. No one knew I had passed out. They were all so involved looking at the monument that there I lay as they all departed the boat. Can you imagine that? We were even with a couple of friends who not only didn't know that I had passed out but never realized that I had been taken back to the island never making it onto the monument......so how about that for a story? We still laught about it.............Julebobo

Welocme all new

 

[Denine]

I have been MIA longer than planned. Our cat died suddenly Monday morning. I was hysterical. Ollie was only 5 and the sweetest cat. It hasn't even been a year since we lost Shannon. Maybe Ollie missed her too much.

We got the keys to our new house last night, so you know where we will be.

Hope Frances stays away from you Floridians.

Welcome Aboard Cinric! This will be our 1st DCL cruise with a child. We went on 5 without.

 

[tevagirl]

Denine...I'm sorry to hear about Ollie.

Cinric....welcome to the boards!

Sandy...good luck, I hope Frances stays away!

Julebobo....I would never go away with those friends again. What idiots. But maybe your friends thought you were bent over tying your shoes and not slumped over passed out with your head in the lap of the stranger next to you? I really think that's probably what happened. And maybe there was just sooo many people on the Arizona Memorial that they never even realized that you weren't with them? Maybe they never even knew any thing was wrong until they were in the boat on the way back to shore when it was announced on the two way radio for your friends to meet you in a certain place? I don't know but maybe that's what happened. By the way....I'm just curious....exactly how many socks was Bob wearing during that tour? Oh wait, that's right, I believe I heard it was ONE. Is that possible? (Have a safe trip and give Rolie Polie Olie or whatever his name is a big kiss from us.)
