DCL prefers you to be off the ship by 9 AM, but that is not an absolute. My guess is they will stop serving food around 8:30 ish

Hi Jeff,

Thanks!!!

Minivan owners-pray that your power sliding doors don't break, mine was a $1600 repair for a new motor and while it was in had them do a whole bunch of other maintenance on it.

WOW!

Going ok. How about you?

The pool is warm about 90 degress now. So that makes me VERY Happy...Will be more happy once school is over.

Run any races lately??

You sure you don't want to the FE? We have room in our group for one more now!!

Is this spot available to anyone who is sailing on August 16th/11? I responded to this thread on June 5th and still have not received a reply.
Kritter, could you please let everyone know if this spot is still available as hmansure has not responded to your offer for this FE spot.
Thanks.

I booked with Bahamas Segway Tours for the Beach Experience (I think it's the same company). We're in the 12-3 pm slot (have 8 of the 9 openings). Are you in the earlier tour? We'll probably run into you at the beach, I think they overlap. Doing the Segway with my brother, nephews and now dad. Our friends are spending the day at Atlantis. One family hasn't been there before so they want to check it out.

My DD is 14 too. Let me know if your DD wants to chat or facebook with Megan.

It's the same company, I saw there was only one spot left so we booked the earlier tour. Last time we did the 9.30am tour we didn't run into anyone else at the beach. Is Megan doing the Segway tour also ?
I'll send you a PM about the facebook. These kids these days think that email is another version of snail mail.

As for Atlantis, I prefer to stay on the property rather than being the tourist "looking in through the window". The place is absolutely amazing and the beaches over by The reef and The Cove buildings are the best, BUT the resort doesn't allow outsiders there. They give the people staying in those buildings different colored wristbands.

It's not cruise specific, but very interesting facts none the less.

VOLUNTEERS STILL NEEDED FOR OUR CABIN TOURS


The initial plan is to meet at 2-2.30pm on the ship on deck 13 forward in the family zone.

This could be part of a general Dis group meet and greet if anyone is thinking of organizing one.

At 2.30p sharp we head off to tour the cabins which hopefully should be done in about an hour.
The selection of cabins will be narrowed down to those that are somewhat signficantly different from each other, so that we are not seeing duplicates.


Those who are showing, would be the Disers who volunteered their cabins to viewed.
Those who are touring will be the tourists travelling to view the volunteered cabins.
Those who want to do both will come along on the tour to see the other cabins and when we reach their cabin hopefully they will open the door so we can see theirs also.

The lifeboat drill takes place at 4pm.

The sailaway party takes place at 4.30pm. You still have time to enjoy yourself.

Hopefully as long as we don't linger too long during our tour we should be done to give everyone enough time to meet back at their cabins to pick up the rest of their family for 4pm.

Brenda

CATEGORIES STILL MISSING FROM OUR CABIN TOUR.

Cat R, T, V, 8, 6, 10.

If anyone has a cabin in one of the categories and would like to show it on the tour please PM me. Everyone would appreciate it.

* Tshirts and such !!!!!

OUR cruise-group LOGO is the following :

For high quality version of OUR LOGO (to be used on T-shirts or everywhere else you can think of ... note-pads , tote bag, cap …) please use the grafics in BigDogHU75 post , at the middle of the page at the link here below

http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2480532&page=166

Or , if you are in a

mood, then use the grafics in DGH post, at the middle of the page at the link here below

http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2480532&page=169

Of course you could make your own tshirts with transfers , OR

as per suggestion of mrebuck :

if you are interested in ordering the CC5K shirt at ZAZZLE , here is the link:
http://www.zazzle.com/cr/design/pt-...true&pending=true&context=maleenal&view=front
If you are interested in ordering the cruise logo shirt, here is the link:
http://www.zazzle.com/cr/design/pt-...lone=true&pending=true&context=ben&view=front
As you will see, you can customize the shirts - adding text to the front or back. And you can select whatever color/style/sizes you need.
To get adult sizes, you need to select a different style. There's a hyperlink next to option 2 "Choose your style and color" that says "see all." If you click on it, it will bring up all of the styles - mens, womens, etc. The logo will be applied to whatever style you choose.
For the CC5K shirts, I used the Comic Pro font.

THANKYOU mrebuck !!!!!

CIAO all of you !!! If there is something you would like me to add to the NEWBIE ( or NOT ) GUIDE , just let me know !!!!

Good Luck Laura with those State exams!! I'm sure it will go by fast, but it's still yucky to have to go back to school. My son gets out of school next Thursday....he is so excited! Laurie

[cruisinpenguin]

Great idea. I might have to put on some Disney music myself. I am already making a packing list so I will not forget anything. Is it too early?

I say it's never too early to pack! I've been making piles of stuff to put in the suitcase for months now. Plus I have my son's suitcase all packed except for his dress clothes Laurie

Since I'm not allowed to get AP's any more (apparently 7 times in a year was too much for my hubby to handle) I have found the next cheapest thing, the YES program at Disney. If you have kids you can enroll them in an educational program for one of the mornings that you are there and everyone in the family gets discounted tickets. We saved over $200 on our tickets this time. We did one of the programs last Jan. and it was pretty cool, we got to go inside the Haunted Mansion ride behind the great room. If any of you haven't gotten your tickets for this trip they have programs that are around the time of our cruise still available.
