Fantasy - July 7, 2012

[Princess Row]

Heads Up ... just booked non-DCL excursion with Stingray Sailing for 9-JUL. Great reviews and even greater service via email thus far. Should be fun! On our Med trip we did a lot of excursions on our own (or in conjunction w/other DisBoard friends) with great success. BTW, I think they have 15 spots remaining that day.

We did a off ship sailing with stingrays about 4 years ago. We had a fabulous time!! However the waters were EXTREMELY choppy this day and our boat was the only one that actually went out. We thought we were lucky.....however every single person except our family was sick on the excursion and there was puke everywhere.....it was an amazing experience OFF the boat....on the boat AWFUL! But you should enjoy it!! It is alot of fun!

to those joining us!!

Doing the paid in full dance finished paying off 4 staterooms and booking Palo, Remy and excursions. Next is hotel for day before and transportion to and from port.

Yay!! Congrats!
I'm still not paid in full & since we're plat. we could have booked in March... But counting my pennies now, with the Hawaii cruise coming up. And I'm sooooo glad you got to reserve what you wanted!! Hopefully we will too once we actually pay for this (usually use DVC so forgot about paying with "real" money!)

Hey there to the new ones joining us!!
Anyone notice the date today??? We are officially at a three month mark and counting down!!!
We got our room numbers yesterday!!!!! With a HUGE FREEEEE upgrade!!!
Turns out they over booked our original cat so they upgraded us for both rooms!! 6026 and 6024! Also turns out (UNPLANNED) that my friend Brittany is DIRECTLY ACROSS THE HALL! Talk about Disney Magic!

Another yay!!! So happy for you getting pixie dust sprinkled with an awesome upgrade and your friend right by you!!

Wishing for pixie dust for all of us!

I'll second that one!! Hope everyone gets "dusted!"

Hey everyone! Would we rather close the Fe sign ups May 7th or June 7th?
I dont care either way.

There are still 3-4 families on the thread that havent responded with a yes/no to FE. So I am waiting to hear from them!
I will be updating the list today and see who I still need info from.
I was up till 3 am doing a poetry project so I am a bit on the sleepy side! It will all be caught up by tonight!!

 

[lisa702]

Hope everyone is having a great week!
I vote for May 7th so we know how many homemade gifts we need if we're doing homemade gifts.

 

[Annette_C]

I vote for May also since that will give us enough time to make our gifts. I'm ok, though, if we wanted to wait till mid May (about 6 weeks prior to the cruise) in case more people book in the meantime.
How about May 19th? That is exactly 7 weeks before the cruise. But, if others want to cut it off sooner, that's fine with me!

 

[donnablueribbon]

I guess I would choose May - whatever date everyone prefers.

Here is a link for calculating estimated tips for any cruise. http://cruisetip.tpkeller.com/ I find it helpful in estimating expenses before we leave especially with multiple cabins.

I read this trip report from the Maiden Voyage.

It is so much fun to read! Tons of pictures and great details about the ship. Even FE gift photos! I am just getting so excited. I teach high school and every time I sign something for a senior to graduate I know our date is getting closer!

What subject do you teach in high school? I feel the same way, every time I mention the date of graduation, of see the date I jump up and down knowing we are leaving soo soo soon! Graduation CANNOT come fast enough!!

Tomorrow is Senior Ditch day so I am taking advantage.....seeing a movie with my mom, having lunch and having a "me" day.
