We love Palo brunch and have not missed one on all our cruises ..... yummy food, isn't it?

Okay, it is past midnight here, most of my ironing done ..... I am off to catch a few hours of sleep.
Looking forward to having some "breakfast reading material" here in a few hours.

Sorry, I book everything myself. If you are booked via a TA then he would have to do it or you'd have to call.

Actually I am a TA LOL, but I'm booked direct with their back office due to the special rate. Ironically I can't manage my own reservation like I would a clients! LOL

 

[Preds]

Kelsey, I just sent you our info. I need Sarah's info to call on my end. I have yours.

 

[Preds]

hi Mike i just looked online about linking reservations, it says we need your reservation number and date of birth of lead passenger

Kelsey i know you don't yet have a stateroom number but it says if we link reservations they will try and give you a stateroom close to ours and preds (both on deck 6)i know you wanted go be on deck 5 or 6, so this is a bonus.

kelsey please email me your reservation number and date of birth

Sarah,

I sent Kelsey our booking info. I need yours. If you can send it via FB messaging that be great. I'll send you a friend request.

 

[Preds]

Kelsey, I don't think that 9am would be a good idea, because this is when the stateroom hosts will be making up the rooms and I really do not want to get in their way, as they have a lot of work to do as it is.

I'd rather think that an afternoon time would be better.

LOL, 9am our 17yo will still be sleeping!

 

[krazy4crusing]

LOL, 9am our 17yo will still be sleeping!

LOL 9 am our 8 year old may still be sleeping... he thinks he is 17!!

 

[Preds]

Boy - you snooze you lose

I was away for the weekend and I think you guys added about 6 pages!!

Preds- I can be added as host of Cabin 9674 Cat 6A deluxe family with extended verandah at the very back of the boat.

See you all soon Dismiss (mary-ellen)

Thanks Mary Ellen. I've added you to the updated Cabin Crawl list which I will be posting shortly!

lol 9 am our 8 year old may still be sleeping... He thinks he is 17!!

lol!

Quick question for everyone. My son wants to bring his Macbook (the 13" model) - can anyone tell me whether there is a safe in the room and whether a laptop will fit in it? I don't want him bringing it if it can't be secured properly. TIA.

I bring my notebook on cruises all the time and will be bringing either my 13"MacBook or 13" Toshiba this trip as well.

IMO it's not a big deal if it doesn't fit in the safe, if you're worried you can always lock it in one of your bags. Highly unlikely it will get stolen.

 

[Preds]

I was wonder what everyone has plans for.
We are booked to do the 9:00 sting ray encounter day one on CC and have a cabana for day two on cc.
In the Bahama's we plan on just doing a little walking around with a stop at Turtuga rum factory and some liquor store of coarse the straw market.
I really want to do the mixology tasting and maybe the martini or champagne tasting. What about everyone else.
Most of all for my DD I need to visit with Mickey and the gang as much as posible!!
Number thing I need is time to relax and watch the ocean!!!

We don't have any specific plans for Castaway Cay. We'll just wing it there.

For Nassau, we actually decided to do the Atlantis Dig/Aquarium tour. I believe we on the 11 or 11:15 am tour. I've been to Nassau more times that I can count (4 times this year alone), but ironically have never seen the entire aquarium (just the lobby portion a few years ago before they closed it off to un-ticketed guests).

 

[Preds]

My plan so far is...
Day 1 - Meeting everyone at the M&G, sail away party, checking out any M&Gs for 18-21 year olds, and checking out the nightclubs that night (which I'll actually be doing every night lol!)
Day 2 - Snorkling with the Stingrays from 9am to 10am, after that I'm going around the island to take photos and explore (I'm actually a photographer so I'm hoping to get some really good shots!), then getting back on the ship and relaxing and tanning in the adult only section !, and in the evening going to the nightclubs

Oh good, you can teach me how to use my new Nikon D5100 that I just bought a few weeks ago! LOL

A cautionary note about sharing your reservation number and birthdate. I linked our reservation number with my DIL and her sister and parents so we could all be assigned to the same table for dining. When I went online today to add a shore excursion, ALL of their names were on my list and I could have signed them up for any and all excursions!

A certain amount of trust is required when providing your personal information to "strangers." Of course, we don't feel like strangers because we've all been chatting so much and getting to know each other online, but unless you feel really comfortable putting your information out there, be very careful who you give access to.

 

[Preds]

Sarah, our vacation for 2013 is all booked and I am already looking into 2014. How's that for obsessive planning.

Haha, we booked the upcoming Norwegian Breakaway for February 2014 back in January. Over 2 years in advance!

Good advice!

Kinda surprised Disney's booking system is that open and insecure. You should be allowed to link dining without linking any of other booking information together,

When I link dining with other lines that is never an issue.

Wow, We went away for a weekend and pages of pages have piled up...

We were camping down in NY state for the weekend at Evangola State park. It was right on the beach and I was so thinking that in a few weeks we will be sitting on Castaway Cay instead of the beach on Lake Erie... We drove right through Hamburg NY it's amazing how many connections we have here to that part of the state.

I LOVE the idea of a cabin crawl, we are totally in. We have booked an OGT cabin and we don't have the number yet but when we do you are welcome to include it in the crawl.

I'll add you to the list with your room assignment TBD. The more the merrier!

Evangola is about 30 minutes south of us, and yes, you pretty much HAVE to drive through Hamburg to get there from Ontario!

And yes, there sure does seem like a lot of Ontario/New Yorkers on this sailing. Probably because its end of summer just before school starts.

Thanks so much for the advise! That did come in my mind when the idea was brought up but I do trust them and hope that nothing bad would happen !! I also am surprised at how open it is to do this process!!
