Diez (10) Noches Calientes en la Riviera Mexicana/17 de abril 2011 (4.17.11 Wonder!)

I do think that if we decide to do assigned days, it has to be with the understanding everyone is on vacation, so flexibility is key. If you get on board and your assigned day doesn't work for whatever reason, not a big deal, just pick another day to deliver. No stressing over FE deliveries, it's supposed to be fun. :thumbsup2

Not to overthink this too much (as much as I enjoy pre-planning, I would not be excited about planning a FE delivery TIME!!! :scared1:), but even if we break into 2 groups, we've got more people than days on the cruise, which means we can probably have a delivery just about every day and still have some additional FEs. How about we have some sort of sign up for people who want to pick a day ahead of time, and those who don't can just go with the flow and be a "bonus FE" on whatever day they want?

(And no matter what we do, my FE delivery run will conclude at the pool for some sunshine and a fruity drink!) :sunny:
 
Happy Valentines Day everyone!!:love:

I had a nice dinner with DH and the kids. Now I'm catching up on our thread!!popcorn::

Sandy - Thanks for offering to email the MR navs! I sent you my email address.

Kristi - Thank you for researching the wrist bands. I pm'd a request.

Have a nice evening!

Thanks! And Happy Valentines Day to all my DIS friends! :grouphug: DH is in Afghanistan but managed to call a little while ago (was disconnected 3 times before we could talk) He promises he WILL be home before cruise date!

Regarding FE - anything, anytime. I'm a first timer so I'll go with the popular vote. On another DISboard, we are doing a Secret Mickey too. That sounds fun!

Virdis, thanks for the Dreams Resort info. That's looks like a winner. :thumbsup2
Give your Valentine a big hug tonight :love1:

Happy Valentine's to all! :lovestruc

Not a very good day on my end. :sick: Dr took me off work this week, hoping to not go to the hospital by weeks end. Danny and his family are in mourning. His younger sister killed herself this afternoon after benge drinking. Depression and drugs don't mix.

I know how those connections can be or not be. Praying for him and that he will be home on time.

I'm so, so sorry for your family's loss. We send our sympathy to you and your husband, and best wishes for strength and comfort during this difficult time.
 
Sandy and Danny, so very sorry for the loss of your loved one. Saying prayers for your comfort.:grouphug: Try to think of the good days ahead.
Did you see the show about RCI Oasis of the Seas? A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. mega ship. So happy to be cruising on our little Wonder!
 
FE ?'s.....probably answered somewhere, but I'm not sure where?
Do we buy for everyone in the cabin, or just the kids? Should we go ahead and figure on 13 cabins to buy for, or 26? Thanks!!!
 
Finally catching up...


Hello Disboard

I'm sort of new to the board. I've just recently logged on but have been hearing and reading your threads for a while. Most of you probably know or have read posts from my Darling Disney Hubby, Virdis. Since we are less than 10 weeks away I decided it would be a good idea to finally introduce myself and step out from husband's shadow. I can't tell you how excited I am to be going on this trip and getting the chance to meet all of you.:cheer2:
:welcome: Ann Marie! That's also the name of the main character on the show Disney Dreams...


Connie,

I haven't made enough posts to PM you.. as we don't have a recent 'whole family' pic, James made a video collage and posted it on YouTube! I posted the link on the comments page of your blog!

As soon as I am able, I will post the link on my signature here as a hyperlink, but I'm posting this from my phone and can't see how to do it.
;)

Your video is awesome! I posted a link to it from the roll call page so people don't have to search the website for it.

I wanted to jump in on the FE discussion -- if we're each going to deliver once during the cruise, what do you all think about choosing particular days for people to hand out FEs? That way the goodies get evenly distributed throughout the trip. For our girls on the other cruise we went on, the FE was probably the greatest excitement of the day. There was one day when there were no FE deliveries, and they were so bummed!

(And I have to admit that I'm in the type-A, over-planning everything camp, so forgive me if this is too regimented a suggestion for a vacation! :rotfl:)
Love the idea. I suggested the same thing on a different cruise and was voted down overwhelmingly. I think the hard part is to get people commit to making delivery on a port day.

Sandy - Thanks for offering to email the MR navs! I sent you my email address.
Sandy - can you email me the navigators as well? I can post them on the website so people can access them in a centralized location.

Happy Valentine's to all! :lovestruc

So sorry for your loss.

Regarding FE - anything, anytime. I'm a first timer so I'll go with the popular vote. On another DISboard, we are doing a Secret Mickey too. That sounds fun!

We did the Secret Mickey on the same cruise that voted down the assigned day for FE delivery and it was fun. DH's SM was our table mate (which we linked ressie because our DDs "connected" on the Disboards). One night his SM was baffled at how his SM (DH) delivered a bottle of wine to his stateroom and we had to pretend to be surprised and held back the giggles. The participants of the SM all met for lunch at Lumieres on one of the sea days for the big "reveal". BTW - the stateroom host/hostess can/will put things in the stateroom for you.

I don't think there are set rules. Some people give one gift to the stateroom and others give to everyone individually. I gave one gift to the adults in a stateroom and individual gifts for each kid in the past and will probably do the same thing this time.

Lastly, I added info on a couple of Dis Meets to the website at Kristi's request.

I will sent them tomorrow. There will be 2 sets Itinerary A & Itinerary B. I am very excited that the "Wonder Quest" appears on one of them. So I still have high hopes for our cruise. :woohoo:

Thank you, please pray for us!

Secret Mickey sounds liked fun too...what are the guideline for it and are we going to do this?

Virdis, another AI I found in Cabo is Villa Del Palmar. Their day pass rate is $50/adult and $25/kids 4-12. Here is a thread on cruise critic about it.

Still waiting to read reviews about this resort.

Thanks Kristi....so this is the place DCL takes on the excursion we already booked it says. Interesting. Here are reviews.

hi virdis!

happy valentine disers!!

Hey Gabriela. If we go, we will definitely go together. Right now I am not sure if we will do first day since that is Easter Sunday. We will let you know what we decide.

On another note, I hope you are still considering to join us for dinner. :goodvibes

Happy Valentine's to all! :lovestruc

Sandy....very sorry to hear this. Our prayers are with you and Danny. We have added you both to our prayer list. Get well soon.
 
I was reading another post and the poster was able to choose a dining rotation by requesting it through her travel agent. She had mentioned that there were rotations a, b, and c. Does anyone know what rotations we have available? If so, what are they? She had chosen a specific one so that she could be in parrot cay on pirate night and tritons for formal night. Which I beleive is day 6 and day 9.

BTW, anyone dressing up for pirate night? My husband has a jack sparrow costume and my son has a captain hook costume, so I was thinking of picking up a costume too...
 
Everyone, we are now under the 60 day mark. I've been watching the stateroom inventory (at least what they expose to the public) and noticed there are still a good number of staterooms with verandahs open on the 7th and 8th decks. The inventory on these two decks has not changed in over a month.

On Monday, all oceanview cabins on deck 1 (which was at least 7 at last count) disappeared from inventory after being open for over 2 months. Ann and I had stateroom on Deck 1 for a little while until we switched a couple of weeks ago so, I thought the sudden disappearance was odd.

[Sprinking magic pixie dust to everyone here on the meet board :wizard: ]

I am hoping that some of us get upgrades in the next few weeks. From looking at past threads, the 60 day mark is about the time that first changes/upgrades start happening (but it is not consistent). Hopefully DCL is getting close to this on our cruise. I still have no clue how the determine who gets upgraded but I have hopes of it happening. Keeping my fingers crossed. :thumbsup2
