April 29, 2012 ~ Aloha! ~ Inagural Wonder to Hawaii-Part 4

[LindaBabe]

GOOD MORNING!

Last night was a LOOOOOOOOOOOooong night, without you guys!

Two weeks today. I'm so excited - obsessed - frenzied . . .

Hi everybody! I just wanted to stop by and say Thank You again to Ellaenchanted for helping me get started on organizing the first Pink Champagne Girls meet on the Fantasy Maiden Voyage. We had a blast! Our tasting was at Ooh La La and our sommelier was George. We were given initially 4 different champagnes to taste. Then at the end we got a surprise and were given a champagne cocktail that George our sommelier created for us. It was made with the Signature Taittinger Nocturne champagne created for Ooh La La, frangelico and creme de cacao served along with various flavors of panna cotta. Afterwards, I had organized a group picture through Shutters and DCL for us. They guys that attended didn't seem to mind wearing pink and we all thought they looked quite dashing in their feather boas and tiaras

Ohhhhhh....that sounds good (love Frangelico)....

TWO WEEKS!

That sounds so good. Time to think about packing.
But, I just un-packed.

I thought I read where there is NO Pirate Night. Is that right?
2 Formal and 1 semi-formal nights?

Whatever is the case, looking forward to this cruise.
Also looking forward to seeing friends new and OLD.

There is no Pirate Night? I thought I saw Pirate Night on DCL web page in daily planner????

I spoke with Dorothy on Monday and she explained all the venues are not necessarily full, it is just that the CD's dept on board has told the Special Requests dept to close their scheduling. She explained that right at that time, the Cadillac was available the same time the Champagne Girls event was being held but she could not assign it anyone because the ship had told her "no more special requests can be scheduled".

YAY!!! I got my color back!!!!

I know Dorothy. I like her a lot. I have sent her pictures of the champagne girls in the past. Now I have to deal with David. He's okay, but I really like Dorothy.

Who is the CD's dept on board???

I can understand why they said to close the special requests scheduling. It's only two more weeks and they have to prepare.

 

[EllaEnchanted]

I could not get color yesterday but can today.

Welcome!

Me too!!! It was gone yesterday, but it's back today....it's the twilight zone.....!!!!!!

Aloha Kakaheika....

To quote a poet, and "miles to go before I sleep" on the Wonder. there was a tribute to R. Frost last night...

I have read where many of you had made brunch reservations at Palo. Then a number of you put together 'special groups', and you will utilize the private room for your brunch. Those who had individual brunch reservations and have now converted to a group reservation, should that not now 'free up' some individaul brunch reservations?

I have been checking numerous times a day and never see any openings. Either I others are getting the openings or DCL has not offered the openings. Any thoughts would be appreciated. If all else fails, I will be one of those in line at the Palo Desk, day one.

Oh how I can only wish there will be no Pirate night. Anyway, there are two formal's one on April 30 and the other is May 9. There is one Semi Formal and that is May 12. The pirate night is May 11.

I do recall on one of my longer cruises, DCL 'forgot' to cancel the individual Palo reservations. I think it was actually deliberate as there were so many sea days. ( I also could be mis-remembering and it was dinners not brunches that this happened for).

Perhaps someone who is in one of the groups can check and see if their activities still show their individual Palo brunch.

Well I knew it would happen...they kicked us off the Wonder and out of our beautiful suite this morning! What a strange feeling though knowing that I'll be getting back on in 2 weeks! I guess I need to start unpacking ASAP so that I can do wash and repack!!

I was told our Hawaii cruise has about 2000 guests and of those guests, only 190 are kids! That is going to be one crowded adult pool! LOL As soon as we left Cabo on Fri, the wind picked up and it was COLD! The sun was shining but it was too cold to sit outside and read. I hope that isn't the case during all of our sea days. I was hoping to run into Captain Fabian again (he will be our Captain too) and ask him what he thought the seas would be like but didn't see him again.

Corinna posted on Facebook that she has updated her FE lists. Thanks for all the hard work. Is there anyway we can get Corinna's FE lists on page one of this thread? It would be really great to be able to access her updates without searching the pages for it. Thanks Val

I like Pirate Night. Glad there will be one. Glad it will be May11.
Not sure where I read about none, but I also heard the rumor on the Fantasy last week.

This will be a great cruise.

Now we have two formals? IS this official now? I thought we have 1 formal and two semi-formal.....I'm just confused I guess....

So what's everyone doing today - other than waiting for time to pass?
