I wrote your room down on my list so we will exchange with you.You are so sweet Mary!
In that case, you can move on to the next level of the application..... the part where the dining companions promise not to ask "um, are you really going to eat that?" or mention that they just saw me through the window of Cove Cafe downing a venti cafe mocha (with a mountain of whipped cream) just hours ago.
They are the best, especially with a bowl of the tomato soup. 
You know, they won't see you having a late afternoon BLT from room service.
Plus, there's always the cheese and cracker plate for before dinner.
I remember one cruise Suz and I were going to Palo for dinner so we got DS a cheeseburger from room service. I had a bite and it was probably the best burger I tasted from Disney - anywhere.
OK, now where are those dining room menus again?
Very sneaky... I like it! And I'll just slide the empty room service tray in front of someone else's door. (Because there are a few people on our cruise thread that aren't too far down the hall from my stateroom.)
We got the cheese/cracker plate a few times on our last cruise.
There looks to be a lot of empty rooms on our ship, we just have to find out which ones and leave the trays there. People will think they are just staying in their room and ordering room service all week.
You know, if you leave the tray in your room, the room host will take it out when he turns your room down at night.
. Or when placing the tray in the hall, announce loudly "That fruit bowl sure was delicious!". I'll have to figure out which rooms near mine are empty.
I can't keep the tray in my room after the snack/meal/mindless eating session is over. I'm THAT PERSON... the one that makes the bed, straightens the towels, tidies up and puts everything away before leaving the stateroom.
I'm sure they have to do the rooms in a certain way and I bet they're reviewed on it, so I understand when it is moved back. We laugh about it every time.
3 weeks from now we will be done with our first dinner (early seating) and sailing down the coast of FL to the Caribbean.
I watched the Fantasy sail out this afternoon (was actually a little early - 4:50 EDT). The upper decks didn't look too crowded when it went past the port cam. Only two more sail aways to watch before it is our turn.
Any takers? My kids are excited to distribute plentiful amounts of Hershey products all over the ship!
Thank you Jeff.No problem Mary, I never mind answering questions. Ask away.
To answer your question, it happens, not sure how much. All upgrades are by chance and based on availability. I don't think it matters how/what you booked, but it just seems like some of the IGT and OGT bookings have been getting upgrades lately. (now that I just jinxed myself out of one.
We had lightning strike once (our 3rd cruise) and went from a 9 to a 7 (that was before they had the letters - it would be a 9B to a 7A now).
Not sure what their philosophy is as to how they pass them out, but anything is possible. Just have to believe in Pixie Dust.LOL

We are going to have sooo much fun.

I better tell my dh it wasn"t me eating those hamburgers or BLT's which may end up near our room and I don't know how they got there.
Can't wait to meet you guys.
LOL !Trust me, there won't be any hamburgers or BLT's on a plate near your room. Just the crumbs.
Once she starts eating, she won't be able to stop. At least that's story behind my tray.
LOL !
Making Mickey waffles for Sunday morning breakfast. YUM!!
My DD and DS love them.
JLDSMD said:The one thing that does annoy me, well not annoys, but makes me laugh, is we move the trash can that is closest to the door in the room and the room host ALWAYS moves it back to where it was when we first stepped into the room. After it is moved to the same place four or five times, don't you think we want it there?
