How do you go about getting the Wi-Fi package? I would like to think my DH could go for a week w/o worrying about the office, but I don't think it's going to happen!!

Thanks for the info!

There are various options that you can sign up for on the first day on board--or really at any time. Personally, I would rather have the flexibitily to be outside than stuck in the Internet Cafe. The options were all the way from unlimited (I didn't need that much) to specific numbers of minutes. There is probably someone on here to may have the actual prices. Personally I didn't think that they were too bad to be able to keep in touch each morning. I typically sat up on deck 9 and had no problem with access. Our room was on deck 5 and it didn't work there--not sure if it would work on deck 8, for example.

The only caution is to make sure to read the steps to sign out at the end of each session. I, in all my maleness, directions--smirections, just signed out from my computer. That did not stop my time from running out. I am sure I am not the only bone-head and they were great about resetting it. Lesson learned and I didn't have the problem again.

one of the best tips i ever read and it is more than likely in this thread somewhere is a power strip.surge protector with several outlets... i put it on the desk and it is invaluable.. for all of the little things that always need plugged in.. cell chargers, camera chargers, hair appliances etc..

I've sailed several times and never thought of that!
Adding to my pack list.

I think at some point you lose track of all those "adjustments" and tips that you pick up along the way. Power strip is a definate must. Depending upon the number of women and girls in your group who might be trying to get ready at the same time, starting adding up all the things that may be plugged in at the same time.

Thanks for the info CBJHockeyNut! I'll pass it along to my DH; I'm going to try to keep him "unplugged", but who knows?!?!

That's right. It's a small world after all. OH NO!!!! Now I'll have the song going through my head the rest of the day!

We're flying out of Pittsburgh on Airtran. We have relatives there that will put us up the night before and let us leave our car with them.

 

[weloveDCL]

awwwww i just spoke to the famous Ms. Shirley and ordered gifts for my dd and my gd little princess themed packs.. she is the sweetest.. wow.. disney clearance is tough.. to deliver at DCL you must be cleared by the FBI and CIA.. plus have other local clearances to even deliver on the ships..

I already had 100% confidence in the security as far as our children are concerned.. but, evenmoreso after hearing that.

I am even more excited now.. the girls are going to love their happy's..

 

[OKWMEMBER]

The people at Perfect Gift are great!!! You'll love what they do for you.

I can't believe that no one has their documents yet. I checked the other threads and someone on each one had received them by now.

gmark200, PMed and e-mailed you about getting to the ship from POR.

You are welcome, Queen Bee.

 

[weloveDCL]

Shirley is everything I'd read she'd be... it was like I knew her.. professional yet, also, like calling a friend.. I have no doubt about how pleased we will be..

I've already bugged my TA once today.. I may call them again.. lol i keep thinking of little things to reconfirm.. they earn their money from me.. I'm a control freak..

But, once on ship.. i go into complete breezy mode..

 

[mickeyfanatic3]

Travel Doc's did not arrive today!

I am very frustrated!

I also ordered a basket for DD yesterday. I think Shirley is fabulous!

Me and my roommate are going on our first cruise the week of Feb 3-10, 2007 on the Eastern Caribbean Cruise. We would be interested in meeting anyone who is going on that cruise. Btw Soul Pal Mickey will be going on his first cruise as well all dressed up and ready for fun

 

[queenbee1127]

Welcome JDGOtter! Glad to have you aboard!

Hey Tammy - I went to grad school in Buffalo. Did my undergrad at Geneseo and worked at Oswego, Alfred and Syracuse, too, so I know your area well! Still have lots of friends between Roch and Bflo. How's the weather up there? I bet your REALLY looking forward to the cruise! See you soon!

Welcome to the group!!!

 

[jblb1020]

Hey Everyone,

Just wanted to let everyone know that we had orginally planned on joining you all on this cruise but had to switch to the Wonder 4 day leaving on the Feb 4th. I just stopped by your board and saw my name on the list and didn't want you to think I was hiding out. My Non-Disney husband did not want to do the same cruise as we did Feb 2006 so we decided to do the 4 day and then go back to Disney World. It won't be the same! I on the other hand would have loved to be joining you all on the 7 day but I guess its all about compromise. I hope you all have a great time and great weather!!

Just for the record, I dance every five days from the 30 day mark. Also, I also celebrate at the 9 day mark with a little thing I call the Single Digit Dance!!!
Be there or be square!!!

Oh I'm wit' cha!
My children are mortified by my love of singing and dancing around the house (I do need to admit...I am awful at both )
But I found out this morning when Leah came by the computer in time to see me post my 15 day dance...that my internet dancing is equally as embarrasing to them! SWEEEEEEETTT!
