August 28, 2004 "LOST AT SEA" Cruise

[Mjasp]

AHHH Illinois. Talk about snow, they get it there. DH is there very often on business.

By the way, Live Oak PREserve is in Tampa, the place I like is in Oviedo and it is Live Oak REserve. Just thought I would clarify that. Was just checking out Engle homes and what they have for sale in Live Oak. It's fun to dream.

Can't believe it is 25 weeks already.

Hello ALL..

I guess its a stupid question..What time can we depart the ship at Cozumel?..

Im trying to book the Jeep Jungle safari and need to know the times..

Thanks

Bobby, Cindy, katie, Jessie, and Bobby Jr.

 

[Mjasp]

Bobby...I would put that question on the Cruise line forum, you will definitely get your answer there.

If I recall wasn't it a little after 10 a.m. that we got into Cozumel last time - mjasp?

According to the mailed itinerary for the Western cruise from DCL, scheduled "Ashore Time" at Cozumel is 10:30 AM.

I'm assuming that this means that Disney feels the ship should be cleared by local authorities at 10:30 and that guests can go ashore at that time.

Hi everyone

24 weeks till our cruise!

There isn't much new with the planning phase right now, I'm kind of looking forward to when we get to the point where we can book excursions. Do most of you book excursions beforehand, or wait until you're onboard the ship?? I'd love to book them beforehand, but what happens if we change our mind before we cruise? Are we able to call DCL and have them change the excursions for us??

Hope everyone is doing well

24 weeks


We are getting there. I would book your excursions before hand if I were you, not to be shut out.

Have a great weekend all

 

[Mary Anne]

Another week closer!

We're not doing any excursions so that is one less thing for me to stress over. I've got to get my airfare. That's my biggest challenge this week!

SNOW? That is what the forecast is saying, but after a beautiful day like yesterday, seeing is believing.

Spring starts this weekend

 

[Mary Anne]

Mjasp, I can tell you it is coming down like crazy on 37th and 7th.
Avenue. It looks almost like a blizzard. I hope it is not sticking!

 

[sandygirl]

We had the craziest weather today in Jersey! Snow, sleet, freezing rain. I'm a popsicle. My daughter-in-law saw sleet for the first time today. She's so cute. She was excited until she realized how much it hurt when it hit the face.

I'm just hanging out waiting for Spring. Hope everyone else on the east coast had a safe day.

 

[ThreeCircles]

It's been raining here. Lots of clouds and rain yesterday afternoon and evening and through most of today.

I have to admit though, I love the rain!

 

[Mary Anne]

Terrible, terrible weather conditions in NYCity tonight. It took me 1 hour and 16 minutes to go from 38th Street to 50th Street on Lexington Avenue in the bus. A 30 minute trip home took almost 2 hours.

 

[Mary Anne]

All I can say it Thank God it's Friday and we're one more week closer.

Rotten, terrible, sad week here!

It's been snowing on and off since Tuesday, not a lot on the ground but wet, heavy stuff that is just making a mess of traffic and driving.

We had a death in the office (President of the company died) and I've spent the week calling clients and helping his daughter notifying people.

I need sun, water, food that is served to me and one of those specialty drinks!

Hope everyone else is doing well.

 

[Mjasp]

Ooh Mary Anne...Sorry you had such a bad week. You do need sunshine and moonshine LOL

I know we went down a week, our official counter is probably shoveling herself out LOL

Sun is coming out although it is snowing, but it is March and it won't be around long so this snowstorm is bearable.

Keep warm and Think Warm

Joanna

By the way, spoke to NCL last night, thinking of booking the Dawn out of NY, they have no inside connecting rooms, there balcony cabins are 166 sq feet. geez, whats the deal with that.

So I'm hoping DCL has the 10% off promo on our August cruise.

 

[SeaSpray]

We have about 8-10" on the ground right now and it's starting to snow again, and they're predicting another 2-3". But I agree, Joanna, it's March and it'll melt pretty quickly (I hope!).

Mary Anne: I'm so sorry to hear about the rough week you've been having

Joanna: I'm not surprised to hear how small the NCL cabins are. Our cabin on the Nordic Empress last year was only about 117 sq ft! Fortunately it was only DH and I, but we saw some cabins with the bunks pulled down, with 4 people in them! We're definitely planning on the Voyager for next summer, so it'll be a little sad to know we won't be booking DCL again, at least till 2006, if that. I hope they offer decent discounts for you!

Hello everyone, I will be on my first Disney Cruise but 3rd overall. I will travel with DH, Daughter 15, son 11 and sister. I heard the ship is almost all booked up. Can't wait,,,, espcially since we had such a rough winter here.
Looking foward to speaking with anyone else on board. My daughter is afraid she wont meet anyone,, (hint she is pretty and very out going).....
Hope to see you on board.
