Cruisin' June 24, 2007 -- Wonder

[Ourtwoprincesses]

I am about to really really scream and throw this darn computer out the window!!!! I am trying to do all the online sign on forms on the disney cruise website and my computer keeps moving to a completely different website. What is so fustrating too is that I have to do two different reservations since we have two rooms!!! I know online it says I can complete any unfinished forms at the terminal but I would really like to avoid that. I am sorry, but sometimes some things are just not easy to do on the computer. I much rather have filled out the forms myself. Okay, I need to remind myself, just 2 months a 6 days till the cruise

Strange computer behavior there Sue.

It is possible that you may have some spyware on your machine that is causing it to redirect your browser. You may want to try using spy sweeper or some other spyware program.

We havn't done the checkin thing yet, but we'll have it done soon. We did book our hotel the night before. Yet another step down

Just 2 months and a day... too early to start with the "Are we there yet" ?

Jen -- guess who is coming to Dallas this weekend?

Jimmy Buffet! I couldn't get tickets for the show because my DS11 has a baseball tournament this weekend, so I had forgotten about it until this morning when they talked about it on the show I listen to.

Just had to share with you -- I guess I can't be disappointed about missing the show when we'll be in that "paradise" he sings about soon!

 

[Ourtwoprincesses]

So what do you have planned so far? Any excursions, Palo's, Kids club, which shows will you see?

We are not doing any excursions. We will bring snorkeling stuff to do on our own from the beach. We are not doing Palo's, I know don't be shocked! I do have the kids booked for the kids club. We are going to see The Golden Mickey's and the Princess show. The others didn't interest me enough to see again. By the time the cruise comes around I know I will be so ready just to be on vacation, that I dont' care if we dont do anything. Isn't that what vacations are for We will be moving 2 weeks before our move and I am already stressed out from it

It's been sooo crazy at work. This should say it all... It's friday night 9:55pm and I am still working. Oh how I hate release weekends!!

We have Palo booked for brunch. As for the rest, we will play it by ear. As you said Sue it is vacation after all. We are going to Universal after the cruise, so I need to book our transfers from the port to Hard Rock, but other then that, we are all set.

Oh I need a vacation bad!!

Well, as DH said, we are doing Palo for brunch and I am looking forward to it more than anything else! On past cruises we have done tea, brunch, and dinner ... and brunch was by far my favorite. And is it terrible to say that I am just looking forward to the adult time with my husband (and no kids or in-laws!)

We'll register the kids for the kids club when we get on-board. I *might* get some sort of spa treatment, but we'll see about that. As for shows ... we might catch each of them again .... I do love "Dreams" .... it is fun to be with the kids for the shows. But one of the best shows we've seen on a cruise was actually the comedian on our last 7-day Disney cruise. We went to the adult-show later at night and we still laugh wtih one-liners ... so if you hear DisneyJam say "I Like Orange!" in his oh-so-sexy voice you'll understand why!

Sue, good luck with the move! You've got a lot of stress piled up in a short amount! We'll have a drink ready for you when you get on-board!!

That is why we are going on a Disney Cruise after our move Also, I am afraid that once I drink I might not stop (I still can't find the drinking smiley and yes, I clicked on more). Seriously, I will be enjoying the drink of the day, unless they have a buy one get one free special, then I will enjoy a couple drinks of the day

[JenLynn]

Sue,
The code for the drinking smiley is:
: drinking1 (with no space between the : and the d)

Enjoy!

 

[JenLynn]

So Sue,
What's your poison?? Something frozen and fruity?

 

[JenLynn]

Or are you more like DisneyJam and live on beer?

(Although DH lives on Miller Lite instead of Corona)

 

[JenLynn]

Or will you join me in a shot of good stuff ...

 

[Ragnrok23]

I wanted to do brunch at Palo, but I signed us up for a couples massage for our day at sea and the only time I could get wouldn't let me do a brunch that day also.

Oh well, I think they massage will more than make up for it!

 

[Ourtwoprincesses]

I am normally not a fruity type drinker, but I do like the fruity drinks on the Disney Cruise!!!

Oh no, not me, that would be my DH!!!!
Actually he is a Capt. Morgan diet coke with extra lime type guy!!

[Ourtwoprincesses]

Oh Gosh NO!!! That would ruin my whole vacation!!!! Me and shots do not get along!!!!

I decided to book an excursion, I couldn't go to the bahamas without snorkeling! So I booked the snorkeling excursion for the day we are at Nassau in the morning. They had an afternoon time but that was a different one. The morning one was 10 dollars more, but at least we won't be out there in the hot afternoon sun. I did book thru Disney, as I was afraid to book with a private place on the island. I heard stories of people hasseling you on your way to where you have to meet for your excursion. I am so excited!! I love snorkeling and and seeing all the pretty fishies.

Has anyone recieved their tickets/vouchers and luggage tags yet? If not, can you post when you get them? I am worried about our move and not getting them before the move and the mail taking too long to transfer our mail and us not getting them before the cruise We move 8 days before we leave for Florida. Should I call DCL about this?

Sue

 

[marcij]

Sue -- I think our luggage tags and the rest of the package usually come 2 weeks before the trip. I would call whoever you booked the cruise through and let them know the address change, or if you or your husband have a work address, have them sent there. I would be worried about the whole mail thing, as no matter how far ahead I've made arrangements for transfers etc. it never seems to work out as easily as it should, and it took forever to get our new service started.

Anyone else usually get their package earlier than that?

I thought of an idea. Since we booked this thru DVC and we are staying 2 nights at Vero Beach before the cruise, I wonder if DVC can just deliver our tickets there? I will call them and tell them our situation. I remember last summer when we had our mail forward to us to our summer home, it took a week to get it! I did do a search on Tickets and to see if anyone had problems getting theirs. Most people said they get their tickets 4-2 weeks before the cruise depending on who they booked it thru. One person said they didn't get theirs at all, but since they did have the reservation numbers and filled out all the forms online that was good enough. But still, I don't want to take that chance.

Does anyone know when you get your stateroom#?

Also there doesn't seem to be too much availability on the ship, I guess that means there aren't too many dissers onboard?
