ALL I CAN SAY IS WOW! your pics are so much better than mine! I THOUGHT I took a lot, but really not so many when I was editing them! Oh, well. Talk to you soon, Connie

Hi Connie, did the ship have hairdryers in the staterooms? There seemed to be some confusion about it mentioned before.

 

[bonzie1]

Thanks for the link - after seeing all those pictures, I am wondering if 4 days is enough to explore the whole ship, and maybe those who are doing a B2B have the right idea!

Me too Lynn!!! Me Too!!!

If we didn't already have SF and AK in the works we would be oh so tempted. And to think this was an add-on cruise for us. I begged to squeeze it in!!!

Wont this be amazing!!!

Hi Connie, did the ship have hairdryers in the staterooms? There seemed to be some confusion about it mentioned before.

I think they do. Ours did. It was hanging in a bag on a hook in the bathroom. I didn't use it, but my friend said you had to plug it in to the outlet at the desk/vanity in the stateroom since the outlet in the bathroom is only for shavers. She used it and said it was fine for her hair.

Thats great thanks, one less thing to pack.

I have been checking a link I have for weather in the Bahamas. It seems to be averaging mid 70's. Hoping that with the humidity that it makes it feel warmer.

It is a tad warmer than here in Florida, but it has been cool this winter (cool for me is 60 and below you see....)

No clue what we will get at the end of January, hopefully picture perfect weather - last year we had a freeze....

 

[DisneyPinDiva]

Anybody else having trouble pulling up their reservations on the DCL website? Have not been able to access any of my reservations,.... last night or today!!!

 

[GotDrums]

Just a FYI for those participating in the RSP to get the limited Maiden Voyage items here are a couple of things.

Can I charge my purchases to my stateroom? Unfortunately, no. The RSP system is a stand-alone system that does not have access to the stateroom charging system.

Can I pay for my RSP via Disney Gift Card? Yes, although the on-line submission form does not list this as a payment option, guests can request payment via Disney Gift Card rather than via credit card. Please note that we are unable to accept Reward Cards.

Can I pay for my RSP with a debit card? Yes, guests are able to use a debit card as long as it has a logo from a credit card company on it. (Since guests do not enter their PIN, the transaction is processed as a credit card transaction.) Guests should be aware that The Walt Disney Company is not responsible for any fees of any kind levied by your bank. Also, when requesting a refund to a debit card for returned merchandise, your bank also processes this refund as a credit card transaction and therefore has 10 business days to post that refund.

The on-line RSP form lists a $1.00 fee for submitting an RSP – do I really have to pay for this? No. Technology is constantly changing and we change with it. The on-line system no longer displays credit card fields unless there is a balance due. To accommodate this change, we’re displaying a one dollar charge when guests enter an RSP. Just as in the past, nothing will be charged until the payment date listed for the event, typically two weeks prior to the event, so that you have an opportunity to review the items assigned in the RSP.

Results of the Random Selection Process will be available at your scheduled appointment time (listed below). Credit cards will be charged after your merchandise has been picked up, on or around January 27-29, 2011.

here is the link to the FAQ where I got this info

Again this is just FYI.
See everyone in a couple weeks from tommorrow.

YES!!! I will try again right now. If I can I will log back out and let you know...

Update: 1:16 No I can't see my reservations. The system hangs up and clocks for about 2 minutes and then returns me to the select screen. I have now logged out of my Castaway Club access.

UPDATE...I logged in and you can see the main page but that's it...it looks like there is something wrong with their security as google chrome shows a big red x through the https: on the address bar....(meaning that its no longer secure)

This past Wednsday it was sunny and 80 on Castaway Cay. Alot of guests left the Wonder NYE cruise with a sunburn. Alex

No, those aren't my pictures. I reposted a link.

 

[GotDrums]

I have been trying all day as well. Cannot get reservation to load. Alex

Mine is coming up ok.
Checked it twice today.
Keep looking at it, it beats pinching myself.
We are experienced cruisers but this is our first time on a Disney cruise.
Super excited.
If you are having problems with your reservations on the website contact Disney cruise line customer service.
They are a good bunch and very helpful.
See everyone soon
Tim

 

[BethA]

We are from PGH! I haven't even thought about weather being a problem!

Are you on Southwest Wed AM?

SW late on Tues- so that gives us one more chance in the morning-looking out at the snow now scares me--my son claims we would drive all night if we had to
