Cruising Sept 11, 2005 - All Aboard

[deefranco]

Yea...how did you know you got an upgrade??? Don't guess we'll get one. We're CAT 6 with connecting rooms. They would have to upgrade us to CAT 4 to make a difference, the rooms would be a little bigger. We are currently in the middle of the ship, better for our daughter, less rocking. And we are only one floor away from the kids clubs. It would be fun to get an upgrade, as long as it was still in the middle, otherwise I'd stay where we are.
Can't wait! This is going to be a great trip.
I would be in for a meet if everyone wanted to get together.

hey everyone, we have to think of something to do so we can identify everyone at the meet. anyone have any ideas?

also to find out if you got an upgrade go to disneycruise.com under my cruise and check your reservation. it should have your room # and the original category booked, but check the room # on the map of rooms because it may not be the same category. or just call your travel agent. oh yea and i didnt reserve a specific cabin, i think that makes a difference.

what does everyone usually do for the doorsigns? i think my 3 year old would love to do one of those.

Not yet... but anxiously awaiting!

 

[Shannon1984]

not yet...still waiting here.

We had all 3 of rooms upgraded too!! From Cat 12 to Cat 9. I went to the site to see how many cabins they still have available.. They are still booking Cat. 4(8 cabins), 5(7 cabins), 6(only showing a GTY), 9(1 cabin) and 11(2 cabins). I was told that booking GTY you have a good chance of being upgraded. I think going in the "off-season" helps those chances. Glad we listened to that advice.

Still waiting for our docs to arrive.. Do you think it is too early to drive to the port??

I just checked and no upgrade here...I doubt we get one since it's just the 2 of us going. Maybe we'll get lucky and get a last minute upgrade at port (wishful thinking). I can't complain though, we got a fantastic price for this cruise and we'll be happy just to be on the ship. I did enjoy having a window last time, though (we have a Cat. 11 this time).

On a different note, if you need luggage tags Target has a really cute lime green set for $3 or $4. We flew with them last week and aside from them being the cool DIS color it helped our luggage stand out on the turnstile.

I can't believe we leave in a little over 3 weeks. Woo-hoo!

I was crossing my fingers that this promotion was still available but it is not.. Cheapest room they have now is $310.00. Oh well!! Have a great time the pool and slides look awesome!

 

[disney1972]

Just to let every one know that I just booked the Atlantis Hotel for 99.00 for 9-12. To Book: Call 1-800-ATLANTIS (1-800-285-2684) and mention rate code FTZOO. This is a great deal.

Sorry about that.. Coming out of left field on that last post!!

I was so excited when my doorbell rang and there was the UPS guy with two boxes which contained our boarding tickets! I'm so happy . I guess everyone else should be receiving them soon. Oh my gosh, I can hardly contain myself .

[CaribGirl]

No docs here either.
Will be waiting for delivery all day tomorrow.

 

[TJHutch]

Woo Hoo!!!! Got our docs this afternoon....

 

[Shannon1984]

Congradulations Disney1972 on your upgrade, doesn't it make you even more excited? Don't worry kfeuer on the upgrade there is still hope with rooms available still you may get an upgrade at port. It doesn't matter that it is just the 2 of you. Me and my DD got an upgrade.

I can't wait to get home and see if I got my Docs yet. I'm leaving work now to see.

 

[disney1972]

Thanks Shannon1984.. Yes I am really excited now. My DParents did not believe me because when you pull up the info online it still shows the original Cat.. so you have to look up the actual room number that is listed. I was sad at first because it showed Cat 12.. But when I pulled up the deck plan we were upgraded to a Cat 9. I was really surprised to be upgraded 3 Cat's though. My Mom called Disney to confirm!! So check the cabin numbers to see if you were upgraded! I will cross my fingers for you kfeuer and everyone else too!

Finally got my ticker ticking!! Just waiting for my docs to arive. This is going to be the longest 3 weeks ever!!

I went out today and bought a "Cruise Dress". Something "tropical" that I will probably never wear off the ship!! Oh well it was a great sale!!

 

[explorer1977]

No doc's yet but waiting and hoping they come soon. 16 days till we leave for WDW but 23 days until the cruise.

See you all soon

 

[Shannon1984]

Yeah I had the same problem. My mom told me I was upgraded I didn't believe her cuz' it still said category 12 but then she showed my the room # on the ship lay out and I was upgraded to a Cat 9 too. I'm just waiting for my doc's too didn't get them yesterday.

Does anyone still want to do a meet? Let me know.

have a great day everyone.
