Come on, Aug 31 Cruisers!!!ROLLCALL!

[npall]

Has everyone already figured out what night to do Palo's ? I need some help from you cruisin' buddies.

It will be my, dh, ds(2) and my mom.

I would love a romantic dinner just the two of us one night at Palos and another night just mom & daughter night at Palos. I know we can only make one reservation which would you do ? Also what night should I make it ? I don't know about everyone but all these menus have me a bit overwhelmed.

The other thing is that I want to do brunch but Flounders is not open for those times, so one of us will miss it so the other two go. WHat should I do ?

I haven't even began thinking about packing. My dh took off the Friday before so I guess I will do a shopping marathon that day to get everything I need.

BTW we are in room #7104. Come by and say HI!!!!!!!!!

Naomi, we're kinda waiting to see what our dinner rotation is ---
we'll find that out @ check-in, i believe

being kid-less we are expecting to start @ luminere --- we're late seating

we would prefer to do Paolo on a SEA day

also, i think there are 'stand-bys' --- when people cancel or are no-shows --- if u r stuck ...

if you have early seating you can snack with your family and still go to Paolo, i've heard ...

can't wait! 15 days!

Hi! We are so excited! This is our first cruise (well, DH went with his ex fiance, but we won't go there). My kids can't believe there is a special place for them to hang out. All they can talk about is making gooze and having a slumber party with Goofy. DD is almost 5 and DS just turned 6.

If we meet someone here on the board, can we try and get seated with them? That's what I was hoping. We will be at the Raddison on the 30th after visiting the inlaws in Tampa.

Have a swell day! See you all soon!

I have a DS (4-1/2) and a DD (7-1/2).

Cant miss my kids, both blonde, great tans and skinny. Their names are Courtney and Connor.

We will be by the pool all day

KITTY ---
to change seat location/table would mean, upon arrival on the ship, you would need to change entire party with Head of Dining
---
(happens all the time, i'm sure)
don't think you can do that without everyone's ressie numbers before the sailing --- if it's even do-able (?) before.
rotation assignments are either in your stateroom or @ check in (someone else may know better)
3 dining rooms means 3 diff rotations
Animator, Luminere, Parrot

ex: could be any of these three

Ginny,
I'm sure my kids will find your kids easily.

I too am quite easy to spot in a crowd. I have red bangs and long black hair. I may look "different" but I am quite friendly and don't bite. My hubby is Mr. Clean Cut. We look so funny together!

What are you doing with your kids in the different ports? I heard that there is a place that the younger kids can go touch the stingrays when they take a glass bottom boat ride at Cayman. Is there anywhere else that does this?

While I'm on a roll.....I read that there are bat caves on Cozumel. Where can I find more info on this? I have searched and couldn't find anything.

Thanks for your help!
Kitty

Were getting closer everyone!? Anyone know how late you can make palo reservations. Is it best to make it on formal or semi formal nights??? Kinda wanted to eat formal with my boys though... they even have tuxes!
See you all soon! Anyone know if we are on a full boat???

 

[hazmat1212]

when having problems w/our CAT 6 we were told there were only 4 cabins left in CAT 6 --- surprising. not sure whether that has ANY relevance to rest of ship ???

[winnyis]

at the hotel. We did it last year and it was pretty good and very convenient. I think my kids were even free (if not they were extemely cheap).

Cant wait 2 weeks from today we will be on our way.

[lindystar]

Only two weeks from tomorrow! Setting sail with Mom and my two sisters. One of my sisters is a travel agent, any other agents going to be onboard? I'm new to this forum thing, do ya'll hook up during the week? We did the eastern the same week last year and had the calmest seas possible. I make more waves in my tub. We've always had the best luck with any Disney vacation, we call it being in the "Disney bubble".

 

[winnyis]

cruise the same week last year (only last year it was the 9/1 Magic) - wasnt that the best weather. I hope we are as lucky this year - cant wait.

We'll be there on the 31st & are SO ready for this cruise.

We'll be poolside as soon as we board I'm sure. Look for my dd(just turned 8) and ds (almost 6) going down the Mickey slide over and over and over again!!
Hubbie & I will be poolside sipping some tropical drink & with big, relaxed smiles!!

Just a few more days now...see you then!

bump~ Are we getting excited or WHAT!?

 

[dgsnj]

I'll be on the Western sailing of the Magic on August 31, 2002. On board with me will be DD 13 and DS 16 (and possibly DS's 16 year old friend).

Any other teens sailing that date? Perhaps you can get to know each other in cyberspace before meeting at Common Grounds!

See you all soon!
