DCL Picture of the Day - part 2!

[JLSE50]

I love your pictures with the Repo backgrounds. Any secrets to getting these shots during PC day?

The ship's photographers were all over all day. If you once said you wanted a picture they came back and if you said you did not want any, someone else showed up and offered to take photos later.

While we were in the locks some of the Shutter's crew got off and took pictures from land of the verandas and deck areas. Seemed like all you had to do was WAVE and they aimed your direction.

The hardest part was finding your photo at Shutters. There were SO MANY to sort through. When we could not find ours they showed us thumbnails. They said that perhaps other people in the picture had bought the ones they had printed. I narrowed it down to three, they printed all three and we were only in one. They did not mind that I only bought that one.

Thanks for the info!

Thanks for the info!

Have a great time!

The thing I wish I had known was that the heat would make me sweat a lot more than I expected. I am also dealing with hot flashes. I drank a lot of water but did not replentish electrolytes. I was tired, lightheaded, unsteady and slow so felt like I missed a lot that I would have enjoyed.

From now on, whenever I cruise, I will take the little packets of electrolyte stuff you can pour into a water bottle. REPLENTISH is one brand. GATORADE is supposed to make it but I have not found it in stores yet. I would take several boxes of that and maybe some of the vitamin powder to add to water--PROPEL, etc. And then I will drink them all day instead of plain water. I am doing that now and feel so much better than normal, it will be a routine for me!

Water replentishes the fluids you lose but does not maintain the pH balance. The electrolyte waters get the electrolytes too. Also, I would eat more bananas.

Hey... nice shirts!!!

Very nice Marilyn... I think you got the closest to Mickey...

Shows how big she is. I like to think about the fact that she is taller than our condo building and maybe two blocks long--she would dwarf my block!

I miss my ship

I figure my house would fit in Palo... & I want their kitchen!!!

I made posters for my DD and DN and left them at guest services to have them signed by the characters. Then on the last night when I saw the Captain in Treasure Ketch, we thought it would be great to have him sign them as well. When I told my DD that he was the Captains she asked "then who's driving the ship?"

I was just cruising through the new photos and when I saw this one I said "I know her!" It was then I saw who posted it. Good shot!

My POTD.

It is still funny when people ask us where our children are when we are standing in line to have our photos taken with the characters.

When I was on the WB repo in May, I brought with me an "Order of the Ditch" certificate that I'd bought online. I took it to guest services and said I'd like to have it signed by Capt. Thord and the characters. The fellow at the desk said, "Well, Capt. Thord won't sign anything that's been signed by the characters, so you'll need to have him sign it first, then pick it up and turn it in again for the characters' signatures." He was serious! So that's what I did. It looks like this captain isn't quite as stuffy!

Deborah, I love your PC day photos!

To Capt. Thord - Hello, Disney Cruise!!

It looks like this captain isn't quite as stuffy!

Or maybe he just couldn't say no right to a little girl's face!!

I just wonder if you had something that the characters signed FIRST and then took it to captain's signing, if he would just flat out refuse. I bet he wouldn't!
