"Double Dip Delight" 09.27.2008 - Chapter 4!

[ntheory]

The cruise was awesome thanks to the mouse. We were fortunate enough to be concierge guests. DCL was very generous to us, everyday there were special gifts left in our stateroom. I was able to book Palo with 13 of my DIS friends or at a moments notice. We were treated to a bridge tour on a sea day. The BEST part... I've been asked to spend the night on CC. That's my secret!

Concierge is so nice, isn't it?? I won't go to WDW or on a cruise without it. It was seriously one HUGE part of our magic.

Wow. Overnight at CC?! How did you manage THAT?!

What suite were you in we were in 8548 concierge is a great treat isn't it you feel so spoiled. First day home I was looking at the kitchen table wondering where my afternoon goodies where

Spend a night at CC how awesome!!

Maureen

LOL!! I wanted my fruit bowl and my chocolate covered strawberries!!!!!!!

I'm still dealing with Post Cruise Depression. I think once we get the WB TA booked and I have something to plan I will be OK.

Tiffany

Me too - my condolence is that I will cruise again but this coming back to reality stinks

I forgot how to do some of my work too! I was working at the Disney Store last night and had to do the same return 3 times because I kept messing up! I felt so badly for the poor guest...she was very nice about it though.

Did anyone go walking every morning? I had every intention, just didnt happen.

I ran just about every morning. Ussually between 6:30 and 7:00.

Show-off.

I didn't "go walking" - and heaven knows I didn't run - but I took the stairs everywhere (except when wearing heels) and did plenty of walking around the ship and in port. It was enough to keep my vacation weight-gain to a single pound, woohoo!

 

[anewmac]

I ran just about every morning. Ussually between 6:30 and 7:00.

I went running every day too!
Ran to get a coffee and Kalua, ran to get a donut, ran to get a dotd, ran to get panini etc!

****K now an important question****

How to I book my mediteranian cruise? I booked on board a dummy date for the discount and onboard credit, but want to transfer it to Dreams to get additional onboard credit. Tracy at dreams said I need to call it in??? where? Sorry call me dumb but Im now a Castaway Cay Virgin lol so bear with me LOL.

Are you sure you want to transfer to a travel agency before the final payment is due? Are there any incentives to transferring to Dreams?

Oh, and Drea, you are a riot!

Dreams is offering 200.00 obc and a cat 11 is 100.00 obc.

 

[anewmac]

Dreams is offering 200.00 obc and a cat 11 is 100.00 obc.

so i got $200 from booking on board with Disney, then if i transfer they will give me another $100-200 depending on what cat i get... oh thats awesome! plus the 10% off.... ???

sorry more questions LOL since im getting sick. my head is all foggy so between working on the NEXT cruise and well just working ... not much is getting done with either LOL

yes that is correct. so a potential of 400.00 obc.
that is extra drinks by the pool. ( or all your tips.)

Magic?

No, but something equally as nerdy. The more rules it has, the nerdier the game. The game is called Race for the Galaxy.

THAT is AWESOME. We demand photos. Well, I do.
More details please!

I ran just about every morning. Ussually between 6:30 and 7:00.

I admire you! I had the best of intentions, but when the coffee carafe arrived at the door every morning and the sun was coming up, I got sucked out into the magical verandah void where time would pass without my knowledge.

You could also say I was lazy.

Yep, DU gives you their credit on top of DCL's and you keep whatever DCL deal you got like shipboard credit and the 10% discount. I'm pretty sure DU will not give you any further discount, but the extra shipboard credit rocks! We transferred both of our ressies over as soon as we got home.

If you booked this last cruise with Dreams you should see a welcome home letter in your email wth instructions on how to transfer that is how I transfered mine.

If you didn't than just google dreams unlimited and you should see info on their website how to transfer over your reservation

That's how I did mine too. I'm pretty sure their webpage has a section for transferring a reservation over, you just put in some information and it takes care of the rest! Super easy

 

[Magic3forme]

We just transferred our reservations over to Dreams. dh did it, but it said it was sooo simple! wow, I wish we would have done this before. atleast we know now!!

 

[pfishgirl]

anyone else waiting IMPATIENTLY to hear how TVEPFOX gets to spend a night on CC? DH said, "where? In a tent?"
