Can someone please let me know where I can find info on the alternative luau? I am having tech probs with my computer and it is very slow. I think there must be a link to a spreadsheet to sign up. I saw the paypal link a few pages back but I need info on time, price and transportation. Please help!

I think it would be better if you send a message to SanDiegoSteph, she is the one who is putting alternative luau together. I know she needs all payments till noon tomorrow (Saturday).

Thanks and I did do that. I was lucky enough to find the link on page 58 so I updated the spreadsheet and will be sending my payment now. Thanks again for responding!

Just remembered I still need to buy some trip insurance. Gotta add that to the list of things to take care of.

We are PLANNING to do laundry....expect to see us in the same clothes over and over and over and over and over and over and over!

I used them for the last 3 cruises and they work fine. We get the one that has no scent and put them in a ziploc.

I will be joining the laundry room party as well. Anyone else on deck 2? Or which deck will the party be at? Will anyone be there with magic bullet?

I'll be joining that party with purex sheets in hand! I will probably be on deck 6 though since we are on 5. If that's crowded though I'll join you on 2.

Checking in

Trying to read and catch up every day or two now we are getting closer, Trying means whenever the little one lets me, How can a 8 month old baby have total control of me?

Kids have school break in a weeks time and we have a busy 2 weeks of finishing FE's, packing and planning. Can't wait!

Talking of weather, We are known as the 'sunny state' here on the Gold Coast in Australia, and we have had non stop rain for a few weeks now, everything is damp! And it is still quite warm, about 25 - 30 degrees celcius. Warm and humid.

Good evening everyone....5 weeks from tommorrow we will be jetting to LAX to begin this great cruise....DW and I were talking tonight about decorating our door and since we are in stateroom 6003 not many people will really see it since we are so far forward but we will decorate. We bring a Happy Birthday sign we got from Disney when we decorated the stateroom for my moms birthday. Mom passed away almost 4 years ago. She left us a nominal amount of money and we decided to use it for a cruise, since she always loved the fact that we went on these cruises. I had the stateroom decorated for that cruise since it departed on what would have been her 85th birthday. We bring it with us every cruise, since we feel a part of her is with us. It is the center of the door and then we decorate around it....and we will celebrate her life as well as my mother in laws life who thankfully is still alive since we will be on the ship on Mothers Day this year.
Truly looking forward to meeting all you great people!
Tom & Marilou

What a lovely sentiment....We will come see your door.....One of our sea day excursions is door tripping

We might be getting some severe weather later this afternoon. I am doing the now. Still a gloomy day here so I am getting lot's done. Clothes being sorted and I have started making my lists. How can one person need so much " stuff " to bring. Congrats to those who got there cruise docs. Mine go to a TA first. I am sure though as soon as she gets them they will be on there way to me. Hope everyone enjoys the rest of the weekend.

 

[gdaneowner]

So you will be the person we call to see if the laundry room is empty, right? I'll be strolling down the hall to that laundry room several times...I only own five outfits!

Actually, I just might go shopping this weekend for some new duds...got a gift card burning a hole in my pocket, a 10% Perks discount and a sale flyer with some cute tops...even a little something that would be nice for Champagne Girls!

.....wonder if my lovely travel agent has received our docs? Seems last cruise they came directly to me though....

.

Sure call away!.. I am here to help!.. i need to do a bit of shopping still yet. I need to find me something "formal".. And get boys shoes and small stuff like that..

We haven't gotten our doc's yet either.. I would bet we won't get any until at least middle of next week.

Got my shirt back from the seamstress today and it came out good. It was too long so she had to cut it to shorten it. Then she attached the border back on. You can hardly tell where it was altered.

Must look again for the Purex laundry sheets. We usually have some left over but I must have thrown them out. . I guess our floor will be the popular laundry room floor. Hope all the machines are in working order.

I thought there would be a clickable link to Heather's newest FE listing on page one post one but there is not. Anyone remember where it is?

Not weatherman...but is is sheet lightning?

Sadly, no. I think the word started with a G.
Sheet lightning is cloud to cloud.

thanks for trying to help though

Look forward to seeing you model it. What a great idea.

OK...who's organizing excursions?!
REALLY?!?!!! Do we need this noted on our particular room reservation? Lordie...just saved Cheri and I about $180 bucks! If it needs to be noted on the reservation I'll have Cheri/Monica notify you. I'll be e-mailiing you from work tomorrow to do a phone call with my credit card number for the room for Pam and I. ALSO, there is a shuttle to the port on departure morning...or did I dream that? (Free or cost...reservation required?)...

Not sure if your question has already been answered, but YES there is a free shuttle and YES, do tell bell services when you want to go. They tend to start at 10:30 but will take you earlier, if requested.

When we stayed there in Dec. they were using small vans (one or two, depending on the number of people signed up at the time). You do need to wait until after you check in to reserve it - guess they like to see the whites of our eyes first...

It looks like the Purex 3-in-1 laundry sheets have been discontinued. So if you see them in the stores, it may be a good idea to pick them up!

Lots on amazon dot com, at least here in the states....I have free prime shipping so order it there from time to time.

oh C**P everything I like is discontinued! I am not surprised they didnt' catch on......I wouldn't use them at home.

I'll look at Walmart and hope they have them still

I read SOMEWHERE, either here on the Dis or on the facebook page that someone is going to return their rental car on Sunday at Long Beach. Does anyone remember which car rental brand it was?

If you don't get them at your local WM and you want them, I can get them here in our WM or from Amazon. Purex Complete 3-in-1 Spring Oasis ($10.38) or Purex Complete 3-in-1 Pure and Clean ($10.28) or Purex Complete 3-in-1 Tropical Escape ($10.57) , 22 sheets with my free shipping and I can take them with me on the ship. I think they have smaller boxes too with less sheets in it.

Wow! That's more than double the price they are here in the stores. Generally they are $5 for 25 here

I saw some at Shoppers Drugmart for the Canadians on here, but they were being cleared out and the shop I had only 2 boxes left.
