August 29th, 2009--Eastern Magic...Let's Get it Started!

[jel0511]

No idea, didn't ask as we wanted second seating, got it no problem. Based on the fact there are so few staterooms left, I'm guessing there is only second seating left. There are 2 cat 5's left (they only fit 3 or less), 4 cat 10's, and at least 8 cat 11's. Cat 4, 5(only for parties of 4), 7, and 9 are all in guarentee right now. Cats 6, 8 and 12 are completely sold out.

Well, I know I have second seating, and I didn't even ask about main seating. We have had issues with our seating almost every time.

In '07, we were not able to get an early seating, and the boy and my dad weren't able to wait until later. We ended up eating at Topsider's almost every night, which sucked since we missed all the "shows".

Last year we were able to be switched to the early seating a week or two before the cruise, and then ended up being a bit annoyed at having to rush to be there so early, and then it always felt like the day was over afterwards (altho I was sick the whole cruise, so I probably shouldn't blame that last part on dinner.)

This year I'm hoping to just push a naptime for all of us, maybe sneak in a snack, and see how the later one goes.

When we booked a few months ago, it was 2nd seating only, although, that is what we wanted anyway.

I haven't seen this posted yet, but we received our packed from DCL yesterday! It contains the letter that talks about the "paid in full" date, and included Shore Excursion itineraries, state room gifts, etc.

Won't be long now!!!

That's wonderful -- always makes it seem more real! We haven't gotten ours yet.

Congrats! I love getting the "docs"! We havent gotten ours yet, but we did get a call from DCL telling us what our air info is. We have a layover in Atlanta and we dont get to Orlando until 12:30. When we got the same flight last year we changed it, but I think this year we'll stick with it. She said there are other cruisers on that flight with us. Now, I just want to find out what room we're in!!

Just bought my fish extender, so excited to see it when it gets here!!!!

We got our docs yesterday too. Sooo excited as they came to the office. I have been working on the Sweet 16 details for the cruise and am just about done except for their bags that they will get right before we hop into our transportation for the port.

Okay so is our theme "Mickey's So Long Summer Cruise". I want to start on FE stuff and need to know soon.

 

[jel0511]

No docs for us or anything else for that matter, since we just booked on Friday we probably won't get anything for a couple of days....

I like that!!! Maybe we should theme the FE stuff around that for everyone...

 

[TVEPFOX]

Was that my theme you picked? If so I'm honored! I always want to be a ship's Godmother!

We received our pre-packet today!

 

[Cinderella1001]

I guess I did just select your theme....I was looking at the past posts where I had asked if we were going with a theme and it looked like yours was the one people seemed to like and I did too...so unless anyone objects...speak now. That will be our theme. (I hope I am not stepping on anyone's toes... Please just beat me off of your feet if I am) hee hee

 

[SleepyatDVC]

Do you have to make your payment in full before receiving the packet? Will start to think about this cruise when I get back from my cruise on the NCL Pearl. Flying into Miami on Friday night and setting sail on Sunday.

Have a wonderful Easter and Passover everyone and see you on the boards when I get back on 4/20/09.

Great theme, btw!

that's when we booked, and we haven't gotten doc's yet either. Altho I ran outside to check the mail about 15 times once I heard people were getting theirs.

The mail just got here and there is nothing remotely doc-ey looking in it.

 

[CastawayCayley]

Oh, and I love that theme as well!!

Have a fantastic trip SleepyatDVC!!!!

I am sooo excited that now I can start moving forward on the FE gifts. Right now I have to work on 20 gifts for my daughters cheerleading team which is heading to Disney in 16 days for the Cheerleading Worlds. I guess I should finish those bags before I start on the FE. But the FE are sooo much more fun.

We too are heading for Miami Friday am. We cruise on Celebrity Century for 5 nights. We have not received any documents yet either.
