Nothing to add, but I think this will be the 1000 post on this thread. Cool

Any more takers for the private St. John trip - we have 22 people thus far (13 adults, 9 children, ages 7 - 16)?

SUCCESS!

I was able to reserve a private charter to St. John for our St. Thomas stop on Tues, Aug 24. This was quite a bit tricker than I had expected, because almost all of the private charters have smaller boats that will accomodate only 6 people. I did find an outfitter (that was recommended by a couple of the other outfitters that I had contacted) that has 2 boats that can handle significantly larger groups. They have two boats, a catamaran that can hold up to 20, and a tri-maran that can hold 25+. The one we would charter will depend upon the number of people who want to come.

We would leave at 9 and return at 4. The cost is $110/pp plus gratuity. Kids under 12 are half-price. The price includes all snorkeling equipment & instruction, a continental breakfast (fruit & banana bread), lunch buffet (lobster salad or Caribbean chicken), snacks, and an open bar. We need bring only towels and sunscreen. I'll be paying the same rate for my group - - I'm not getting anything for putting this together. I just thought it would be fun to have our own outing!

We will stay clear of the busier beaches. The first stop will be an uninhabited island.

If we can get 20+ people signed up, then we can have the ship to ourselves. My group of 8 is going. Please contact me to sign up - either send me a PM or e-mail me at dblinn@consumerlawgroup.com If responding by e-mail, request a receipt. I get so much spam that private e-mails are not guaranteed to reach me!

Here is the website for the outfitter: http://www.daydreamervi.com

I hope that some of you can join us.

Dannyb,

What time are you arriving at the Radisson on Friday night? We should plan a DIS meet at the pool? I thinkthis was mentioned many months ago ...so what do you think??

Who else is at the Radisson??

 

[Credit Man]

We are, Denise. Also scheduled on the 10:30 shuttle on Sat.

 

[lalapodip]

We are at the Radisson, too..... We are planning to drive to the terminal instead of taking the shuttle.

 

[denise5374]

So what do you all think about a Friday night DIS meet buy the pool??

 

[Credit Man]

Sounds good to me.

Last year we set up a DISmeet around the Radisson pool at 8pm on the Friday night before the sail away. We really had a nice time getting to meet one another, even though we had some thunderstorms go through the area. You will be surprised how often you run into other DIS'ers on the ship, that you might not have met otherwise.

See y'all next month

 

[denise5374]

OK...Andy...Even though you ditched us to stay somewhere else for a WEEK before cruising, I will take your suggestion
Who: All DISers
What: Initial DIS Meet
Where: Radisson pool
When : Friday Aug 20 8pm
Why: Because we can

See ya'll then!! (being from the north I always wanted to say that!)

I'm not making any promises, but who knows, we might even take a ride over Friday night and spend some time around the pool with y'all. It all depends on the weather, and how relaxed we are at the Westgate Vacation Villas on Friday, LOL!!!

 

[lalapodip]

Sounds like a plan! See you then!

We finally got our cabin assignment.....was really hoping for an upgrade....no such luck. I think our original assignment was better...... now we have Cabin #2004. It looks like the view may be obstructed???? There's some sort of space between window and edge of ship?? Any one have a clue what I'm talking about?? Thanks.

Andy, thank you so much for the disney card. My 9yr daughter was excited when she saw the envelope and knew that we received something from Disney.

Does the meet after the fire drill interferes with the sailing away party? I have in-laws coming as well and I don't want to ditch them

Regarding formal night and Palos, my DH will be wearing a suit and I a little black dress. My 9yr DD and 5yr DS will not be eating with us those nights. We also are jeans and tshirt people and will not spend $$ on fancy stuff for one night.

 

[Shygirl]

wow lots of post yesterday. I wasn't on because it was my bday and i spent it with the boys. We went to the Seattle Aquarium. It was so cool. We watched them feed the octopus and seahorses. The boys kept asking if we will see these fish when we snorkle. We had lunch outside and then dinner with the family yesterday. Very nice day, it ended with some beautiful earing that my sweet hubby had made for me. I can't wait to show them off on the cruise.

 

[Disneycrazymom]

We will be at the Ron Jon on Fri. Is anyone else there? Maybe we could have a meet there also.

Also does anyone know if they show baseball (like the Cardnals) games in the Sports Bar? They are doing so well right now we will want to keep up with the team that week!

We are getting so close now, it is exciting!

We are also going with the suit and black dress option for formal night. For us that is dressed up!

Happy late birthday Shygirl!
