"Double Dip Delight" 09/27/08 - Take 2 with Link to Original Thread!

Just saw this on another thread and ordered me a baggallini bag!

Go to http://www.bagsbuy.com/baggallini-me.../121602/285133 and they have the messenger bags for 31.45 with free shipping.

Apply code "save10" and you get $10 off which brings it down to 21.45. If you register during checkout you get another 10% off on top of that for a total of $19.30 shipped!

Don't forget Bagsbuy is a participant w/Ebates also. Save a little more that way as well!

I'm getting a pink messenger bag.

Oh my...they DO! I forgot about that!! Thongs anyone? They won't even take up too much suitcase room!

So if I were to get these for everyone do we get them in the size we want to be or the size we will not admit we are? LOL

Thanks for the link. That helps a lot. I was thinking of a tip of $5 for the person that delivers room service. Is that about right. Do we pay a service charge each time we order room service? I thought it was included in the package...

Here's a link to a tipping calculator: http://cruisetip.tpkeller.com/

Easy peasy.....just input # of adults, # of kids & the cruiseline to get a total of tips to expect for the entire cruise. Doesn't include tips at the bar, room service, spa, etc.

That is a great tool! Thank you so much for that link! I'm going to share it with my sister who is going on a cruise (not Disney) in two weeks!

OMG. I leave you people alone for a week and you're all prancing around in thongs?!!!!

I can't even begin to get caught up. I'm heading up to Vermont tomorrow to bring my two youngest to camp for the summer.

Once I get back, I'll try to get kinda caught up. Have a fabulous weekend!!

Oh good grief, you guys are better than caffeine for getting me going in the morning!

thepanmanman: We tend to do $1-3 for the room service. It depends on how much we're getting, how long it took, etc. I'll tip more if I request a double meal for the 3 of us. If I'm ordering a tea service for one for the next morning, I figure about $2.

Your call. Tipping is entirely individual. The food is free; anything in a can (beer, soda) is not free. Water in a bottle is not free.

I still remember the first time I ordered room service. I picked and chose through the menu and ordered more food than we needed, because of the food allergies and because those two are such picky eaters. DH was freaking out and he said, "Hey, hold on a second, what are you doing???" I was completely confused, so I explained, I'm getting the lasagna, and the chicken tenders, and a hamburger for you, and a sandwich for me, and ... He stopped me and said, "There are no prices on the menu! This is Disney, so you know it's going to be expensive!!!" Um, honey, there are no prices because room service is FREE, like I told you before we got on the boat! What a goofball! Of course, his interpretation now is he's already PAID for the room service, so of course it is free!

Thats what I thought. You are so helpful.

We've reached double digits!!!

99 days until the start of our cruise!!!

Thanks for the reminder!! I honestly forgot!

So if I were to get these for everyone do we get them in the size we want to be or the size we will not admit we are? LOL

Size small for all!!

OMG. I leave you people alone for a week and you're all prancing around in thongs?!!!!

... I'm heading up to Vermont tomorrow to bring my two youngest to camp for the summer....

I hope the drop-off goes well for the kids AND for you! I'm sure they're going to have a blast!

Now that I got the big kids to agree to the butterfly farm in Grand Cayman, we're going back to Costa Maya? Last time we went on a great excursion to the ruins with David and Ivan, this time I think we'll hang out close to the ship with the two little ones.

We are going to be so lame on this trip. I don't know if we're even getting off the ship at Cozumel. I can't imagine taking all four of them some place.

I ran to The Disney Store (I always think of you now, Amy!) at lunch today and picked up an item for the cruise for each of us. They have double-walled tumblers with a screw-on top and tight fitting straw. Doesn't sound very special yet, huh? What I loved about them is that they have an ergonomic molded handle on the lid....perfect for carrying to and from Deck 9's drink station, imo. They were regularly $9.99, and now selling for $4.99. I also bought 5 for Christmas gifts.

I'm suspecting that they did this interview with CM authorities prior to the decision coming down that DCL will not be going. I can't imagine that contracts signed for the port and vendors of Grand Cayman would be breeched at this point.

A friend of mine was trying to come up with good lyrics to this for me last week when I hit T-99 until I leave for Orlando! These are great!

Awww...thanks! Glad you were able to get some good deals!

OMG...Costa Maya or GC...hmmmmmm.............. should be interesting to see what happens. I would hate to be the CM that calls the people on the cruise telling them that we are NOW going back to CM!

 

[FatCat]

As long as the port sells Straw Baskets who cares where we go.

 

[Magic3forme]

99 Days!! Wahoooooo.

I need to get to the Disney store soon. You all keep giving me great ideas.

Happy Friday!
