February 7, 2009 Western early check in!

you guys! we did magnets last night and they worked out GREAT with the magnet paper! i was SO worried when DH put the magnet paper in the printer since we dont have a back feeding printer but it worked! the kids went INSANE! our door is going to look ridiculous! i just hope our magnets dont grow legs and run away......:scared1:
 
Let see you could go to the margarita tasting at 2 and get a good buzz, then go to the tea have a few scone and a pot of tasty tea to sober you up some, then head back for the martinis at 4. Hum sounds like a plan.
:upsidedow ...

Hmmmm... Maybe this would work... :rotfl2: I think my MIL will go with me anywhere there's alcohol so I'll have her tag along.:lmao:



Sorry, the List Queen has failed. I don't know anyone has really talked about when their Palos reservation were much until now, other that did anyone get ressie.

I hope you know I was just picking on you...:flower3: Once people meet me you'll know I'm a bit of a smart... butt... And you're siggie makes me laugh now. It's SO packed with VV information it's funny! :thumbsup2


Good evening everyone!
Palo ressies, we lucked out and almost last minute got tea and brunch at sea days. I was so happy. We did score 8:30 dinner at Palo's but when I checked the navigator after the fact it turns out is pirate party night so we very likely will cancel. When we signed up for Palo's dinner we actually had many dinner choices and my husband said Tuesday so Tuesday it was. I will post immediatley if we are cancelling so one of you can take it if you want. I'd even be willing to keep it under our name and give it to you onboard to insure you get it if that is at all possible.

We have dinner on Tuesday night at 8:30. I did everything I could to avoid pirate night.... Maybe I did it wrong???

We are having snow showers again, ugh! Hopefully we won't get any accumulation tonight. My hubby is having an affair with the snowblower. I haven't seen him most days or nights because he is outside getting rid of our snow piles. We need extra cash so we can pay someone to plow our driveway just so that the family can see their dad again.

Okay, the affair thing really did make me laugh out loud. We have a chance of snow today but I have fingers crossed that it comes out the sky and doesn't stick!!!!!


Good evening fellow cruisers, I've been busy today and I couldn't wait to get back to the computer to see what everyone was up to. DD had a figure skating competition, she took 2nd place, woohoo!

Ok, so today I read somewhere about someone calling dcl for an upgrade and they also got a refund on the fuel surcharge that they paid for when booking their cruise. Does anyone know anything about this? They were getting it back as onboard credit. I'm calling in the AM, we paid $175 dollars which I will put to very good use if thats the case. Could pay for an excursion or two, or bingo, or martini tasting, etc. crossing my fingers.

No I still haven't packed, ugh....I need about 6 more hours in every day. I guess the first step is to find all the suitcases. Maybe, hopefully, if all goes well and there are no more school cancelations, I'll get to that tomorrow.

Have a good night everybody!

Congratulations to your daughter! That's wonderful!

We booked before the surcharge was applied so we won't be getting any money back. That's good news for those of you that did pay the surcharge though.

Today is back to school for the boys (well, two out of three). Sometimes I live for school days. ::yes::

So to let everyone know our Palo ressies here it is:

Tea -- Monday 3:00 pm
Dinner -- Tuesday 8:30 pm
Brunch -- Thursday 10:30 am
 

Good morning,

DCL FAQ has details on the fuel surcharge room credit if anyone wants it. I am going to call this week as we booked last April and I KNOW they were doing fuel surcharges then...

We are at Palo's Monday night at 8 PM - DH did NOT want to bring his suit and shoes for formal night :-) Him renting tux is out of question. LOL. I am impressed that some of you can get a man to actually RENT one. WOW!

Have a great day!

Just to make the rental seem more reasonable and help us rationalize the cost I think DH will wear it Palo's also for dinner. I mentioned the message I received about a store selling tuxes for under $150. He wasn't keen if we can order through the ship for less, again, "IF". We'll see what happens :)
 
"pgsahm2 - Sabrina, have you seen Dark Knight yet? We saw it in the theatres and loved it."

I saw it in the theater too. I loved it! Christian Bale is HOT and Heath Ledger's performance was amazing. I think Bale overdid the Batman voice a little this time though - that was kind of distracting, but he can get away with it 'cause he's just too darn good looking! I'm excited to see it again, just not excited enough to freeze to death while watching it (a perfect place for that snowsuit smiley we don't have ;) !) You know how when you watch a movie the second time you always catch little bits that you missed the first time - yeah, I'm looking forward to that.

"princessmeesh - no worries about the glow sticks Sabrina, i got them for FE bags too!! if yours don't glow, maybe mine will and vice versa!"

Great! I'll probably end up leaving them in the goodie bags then, I'll just have to be careful with that bag. Since we're driving it'll be easier to keep them safe. But I feel better knowing everyone will have a back up glow :sunny:

"princessmeesh - if ANYONE is canceling out on PALO tea or brunch please LET ME KNOW i have been checking the site..."

Me too, I really wanted to do brunch. Dinner is out because we will eat as a family every night and I really couldn't even think about having two dinners - I was so stuffed every night on the last cruise I almost had to roll back to the room - can you say no willpower :rolleyes2 ! I could've gotten a ressie for brunch for just me, but I figured that would be kind of rude to my parents - "Oh yeah, I'm going to the special adult only restaurant for brunch so you just figure out something to do on your own" - can you imagine :rotfl2:. My dad's a pretty particular eater so he won't care, but I thought it would be something nice for me and my mom to do. I'm hoping to get a ressie for either brunch or tea for us two when we get on board, but if I don't get one, I won't be too upset. Like everyone else says - missing Palo just means we'll have to cruise again :thumbsup2 !

"deedeedubs - Back to school tomorrow for the little ones"

Our county decided just before the holidays that inauguration would now be a new school holiday. So Payton had a four day weekend, the lucky duck! Back to school tomorrow for him.

"patrsn - DD had a figure skating competition, she took 2nd place"

Awesome! I always wanted to be able to ice skate (well), but I could only go forward and I still have to grab the wall to stop! No one has ever accused me of being graceful that's for sure :lmao: !

I noticed those tastings on the same days too. Actually, it looked to me like there was four in one day, but two at a time (I think margarita and tequila were at the same time and then the beer and martini were at the same time - something like that) I thought, they either don’t count on many people wanting to do both or they really want to get us all drunk so we’ll spend more money - probably the latter!

Well, I've got the inauguration live streaming so I'm going to hop over and see what's going on. I may check back in later. Have a great day everyone!

Here's our Palo schedule:
Palo High Tea – Monday, 3:00PM
Palo Dinner - Tuesday, 8:30PM
Palo Brunch - Thursday, 11:00AM


Not sure if we'll do BINGO or tasting but it sounds like the company will be wonderful which ever we choose :thumbsup2
 
Just a quick hello, need to pop in and give myself a boost to this long day! On the phone, on hold of course, with DCL to get my surcharge back! I'll let you know how I made out if they ever answer! My DH and DS refuse to do the formal wear, I'll be lucky to get a decent shirt on DS for that night, I know he'll be begging out of a sit down dinner pirate: . DH will at least put on nice pants and shirt, no tux though! :confused3


Have a good day, back to phone..
 
Dee, it looks like we'll see a lot of each other in Palo! LOL How funny!
 
Hi everyone!!
Turns out, you are all sooo much more organized than I am! From Palo to tuxedos, I'm way behind the game! It's beginning to freak me out a bit to know that we are leaving in 2 weeks. This is where I need time to stop a bit. Isn't it funny...we count down for months, and now when it's 2 weeks away, I want more time!!!

I've decided the only thing I'm planning is a beach chair and a fruity drink! Martini's, wine, beer, bingo, only IF the sun isn't out! I am so in need of the warmth!

On hold right now with DVC, can I just say.... I LOVE when they play Disney music on hold. Wouldn't it be nice if they played Disney music at the Grocery Store, the bank, Drs. Office etc.... ::yes:: sigh... "A dream is a wish your heart makes".... that's what's playing now! Oops, here she comes....

(listen to the music while you're on holed:rotfl: )

OMG! We are getting a $266 OBC for our fuel surcharge back!:beach: Fruity drinks for everyone!!!! Gotta call DH!

I'll check back in later
 
They're here! They're here!!!!!!

It's official! We're going on a cruise because I have the luggage tags in my hand!!! Shawn said I wasn't that excited when he proposed to me! LOL Oh well. I'm just so thrilled to be "this" close!!!
 
Dee, it looks like we'll see a lot of each other in Palo! LOL How funny!

I love having built in buddies like this!:flower3:

Honest, not as organized as I could or should be in any aspect of my life. In fact, I am the queen of the country of procrastination. It is located between the countries of Lazy and Often Overwhelmed where I sometimes rule :lmao: OH, maybe I shouldn't laugh. Maybe I should be worried or cry...naah...I'll wait to do that later :lmao:

When did you book and pay in full? I'm curious if we'll get that much back. In July sometime was our deadline to pay in full or get charged and extra $7 per person I think. Does that sound familair to anyone?

Thanks for the wait music. I enjoyed it!

My UPS guy delivered my new bathing suit. I got it for such a great price. It looks nice on my Pooh figure. Not sure of teh quality but I'm happy. I saved so much $ with free shipping and 50% online coupon. Hopefully it doesn't fall apart my 1st time out, it will starty a mad exodus off the beach!!!!
 
Yippee, got my docs just now, Im so excited, it's so real when you see those ticket books! and those luggage tags! Have to hide them from DD or I'm sure she'll use them as bracelets! Called dvc this morning and we are also getting fuel surcharge money back, hip hip hooray! :cheer2:

Still not packed! :scratchin maybe tomorrow....Off to make dinner, see you all so very soon! pixiedust:

I was able to break into the bathing suit slowly. We went away for Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve at hotels that had pools so I was already sickened by the whole suit thing.
 
Wooohoo, docs arrived today! Not sure why this is still so exciting as there isn't much left to the package now, but I guess it's cause it's the last official thing to receive before sailing!!!
 
Woohoo, Ours arrived tonight as well. Also confirmed with DCL we are getting an on board credit for the fuel surcharge. Now if I could just shake this darn cold :tilt:
 
Got my Documents as well!

Also called to ask about onboard movies, Subject to change.
Bolt
Bedtime Stories
HSM3
Beverly Hills Chihuahua
College Road trip
Hannah Montana Concert

I know she gave another name... but I can't remember!
