I'd love to do both! I will try for ressies at Palo, but how do you go about tea with Wendy?

Tea with Wendy isn't a very big event but it's cute. We have done it twice now and my daughter enjoys it.

To get tickets, go to Guest Services and ask for them. Both times we have went, there were plenty of extra seats available. Here is a picture of the girls from our Repo Cruise, they had gotten back from face painting in the Lab.

I booked the Castaway Cay float/tube rental for the two CC days and the Stingray adventure but could only get a 10am slot or a 12 noon slot, so I went on the 10am one. would have like to have gone with Terry and Robin Maries families but obviously it was full!

What day did you book the stingrays for? Sunday or Friday? My DS 11 & I are doing Sunday @ 10am.

I'm so sad, no Palo reservations. Bummer . I didn't get up 3, but I get up a 5 anyway for work, so I just got up 15 minutes early. By the time I signed on at 5:15 EDT, only first night was available (well, actually 5:35, the server was down the first 20 minutes). Oh well, I guess I'll just have to get in line when we board and hope for the best !

At least I didn't lose too much sleep, I wouldn't have wanted the last night either and that appears to be all that was available at 3 AM anyway.

And, wow, nothing like a cruise to motivate people to diet! I got started late, and I've only taken off 5 pounds so far, but I'm only looking to lose 10 more. My DH is dieting as well, and has really been shedding the pounds. After an unfortunate encounter with bad shellfish on Saturday, he's lost even more, although neither he nor his colon would recommend that method.

Denise: I have heard many times people get right on the ship and make their Palo reservations with no problems. I would just make that your first thing to do on your " List ". Hope your DH is feeling better today.



Moria: Glad you got some of the things you wanted. You also could probaly change Palo once onboard. Let's just hope for weather and smooth sailing.



Ed: Are you getting any sleep yet? Hope the day goes by fast for you.

Thanks Tina, I hit it the week after our cruise, I was hoping to hit the 10,000 mark while I was on the Magic, but came up several posts short that week. LOL!!!

 

[Walsh clan]

Hi Jennifer!

We're with you so! Yep, booked the 10am for the Sunday! Can't wait

Robin Marie, love the photo... soooo cute!

Denise... no, I wouldn't recommend a shellfish diet like that one! Well done on the 5lb loss. Hope DH is feeling better...

Bye everyone... checking back in on Friday might.. unless I find an internet cafe in the meantime!

Ed: Are you getting any sleep yet? Hope the day goes by fast for you.

I got another 20 minutes rest, not sleep but rest
then alarm went off

So far today is full of issues so the first couple of hours have gone by fast,
I'm feelling ok, as I've had oncall nights like this in the past

One night of 2hrs sleep dosnt put me under, day 2 or 3 then I start to feel it.

 

[PoohJen]

Hi there! We're coming, too.
Lori and DH Steve (bet you couldn't have guessed that one)
Late seating
No plans for the night before, yet...
We'll be down on 2548.

Welcome Lori and Steve!!!

You'll find a great group here! Only about 8000 posts to catch up with! Everyone has hit their date to make their spa/excursion/Palo reservations online. Have you and Steve anything special planned for the cruise?!!!

WTG Dieters!!! I am in awe!

Doreen, Glad all went well with your daughter. I think you posted asking about teens emailing? If so, DS13 would be interested; pm me!

Have a good week all!

 

[SeaSpray]

Moira: I'm sorry you weren't able to get the 11am Stingray on Sunday! I was hoping you'd be there with me, since nobody else in my family is going to do this. lol I just checked online and it gave me the opportunity to add my DH and both DSs at 11am, but maybe that's because they're in my traveling party...? At any rate, I'm glad the 10am time slot was available for you Have a good trip, see you on Friday!


Ed: I got your PM and I've added your excursions to the Itinerary Page

Robin Marie: Thanks for sharing that adorable picture!

Tina: I hadn't seen that thread before, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR CREATING IT!!! Thanks to everyone who posted on it!!!

Steve's Wife: Lori, welcome to you and Steve!!!

 

[Steve's Wife]

Thanks Jen!
Steve was up at 3 am at the 90 day out mark. I'm almost embarassed by all he's got booked: Palo brunch, tea, and dinner; the jet ski thingee and couple's massage at Castaway; some couple spa villa thing on the boat; and some other spa thing.

Lori

 

[PoohJen]

Oh, if only it was over! Although, you're right, no more to book in advance, still so much to do! Need to book hotels before and after, hold the mail/newspaper, buy a bathing suit , etc., etc. That 75 days is going to fly by.

PoohJen: Thanks for letting us know the navigators are posted on Barb and Tony's site. I knew they went, and I felt like a stalker last week, I kept checking to see if they got around to posting anything.

Bev: Got your PM, and FYI, Goodnoe's is closing for good September 4th (rumor is it's going to be a Perkin's).

And thank you to everyone concerned for DH's health, he's feeling much better, but not likely to eat crab anytime soon.

 

[SamRoc]

Planning is over for us too! Made the final payment today (nothing like waiting til the last minute) Got the excursions we wanted and luckily the same times were available as our wedding party friends.

 

[Steve's Wife]

Oh my goodness! I've been trying to catch up on all of the posts -- fortunately I'm on summer break, so I may be caught up by cruise time.
We look forward to meeting everybody.

But today, I've got a bad case of cruise fever -- I can't wait!

Lori

 

[RobinMarie]

Welcome Lori!

I think I'm going to try the Margarita and Tequila Tasting.
Anyone else?

How do you find out what dining rotation you are on?
