First Ever DISUnplugged Podcast Cruise 5/10/2009

[chirurgeon]

I sent in my deposit for the EB Trans Atlantic. Yvet and I will have to get to know each other at Mousefest and the Podcast Cruise. This is a solo trip for me. OK, now I have another cruise to start obsessing over. I will have to go to the cruise board and see if a thread has started for my new cruise.

i'd like to ask a favor..

i haven't been around much, and probably won't be around as often as usual...

if something comes up in this thread - or anywhere on the board for that matter regarding signing up for things on the cruise, i'd really appreciate it if someone would PM me....

for example, the wine tasting post that's on the board....i happened in today, so i signed up..

but i won't be able to keep up with this thread as it moves too quickly for my once a week visits....so i'd really really really really appreciate it if someone could update me by PM...

it's probablya lot to ask....but i guess i'm just afraid i'll 'miss out' on something....

i want to make this the best possible cruise for my mom and sister...

Okay, May trip with the family got cancelled, so I'm back on the Podcast Cruise!! Time for me to put my money where my mouth is and get in on this thing before DCL realizes how many of us there are and shuts us down!

Best way to contact the person I need to contact?? (Tracy??)

The best way is to request a quote. Here is a link https://www.dreamsunlimitedtravel.com/cruise/podcast-cruise-pricing.cfm

i know this has been asked about a thousand millions times but i'm braindead and can't retain anything....

so a few questions:...

1. How many days in advance can we make palos reservations?

2. is it true that we have to be paid in full before we can make reservations for palos, etc. ?

3. What are the hours of the sea day brunch at palos? (what is the earliest /latest reservation?)


as you can see, i'm beginning to obsess.......it's almost november....we're closing in fast on when we have to pay...

which brings one more question to mind:

4. How much in advance to we have to be paid in full?

1. How many days in advance can we make palos reservations?

75 days for new cruisers (2/24/09), 90 days for Castaway Club members (2/9/09), 105 days for suites (1/25/09).

2. is it true that we have to be paid in full before we can make reservations for palos, etc. ?

Yes, to make any plans - Palo, spa, excursions - you must be paid in full first.

3. What are the hours of the sea day brunch at palos? (what is the earliest /latest reservation?)

10 or 10:30 am is the earliest. I'm not certain on the latest, but it's around noon.

as you can see, i'm beginning to obsess.......it's almost november....we're closing in fast on when we have to pay...

For suites, the final payment date is February 9, 2009. For everyone else, the final payment date is February 24, 2009. We have set these due dates to be one business day prior to this date. I would make sure that your final payment is in at least one business day prior to the date you can make Palo, spa and excursion reservations.

Noted above.

Hi Jaypd and kimisabella another long islander here (East Islip) and me and my husband would love a long island get together before the cruise

We're from Glen Head (Nassau) - if I'm not mistaken, there are a couple of other LI'er's also, it's several pages back and I'm too lazy to look, but, one LI'er said she had organized a LI meet once before - since we are going without the kids it would be nice to know some people before the cruise so we're not too lonely

 

[disneyholic family]

Noted above.

thanks!!!

i assume you'll remind us as we close in on those dates, right oh wonderful Tracy?

I'm sure we'll be talking about the prebooking dates here but you won't get a reminder from us for those. The final payment dates however will get reminders about 10 days prior.

oh- i see....there's a difference..

when i cruised, they didn't have pre-booking...

so when are the final payment dates? 60 days prior?

 

[winotracy]

For suites, the final payment date is February 9, 2009. For everyone else, the final payment date is February 24, 2009.

90 days prior for suites and 75 days prior for all other rooms.

But I want my final payment in before the 75 day mark so I can be calling at midnight on the 75 day mark to get my Palo reservations. Brunch on the sea day and whatever night I can get an early dinner reservation. Don't want to miss Palo in the day light. Can't wait for the EB Repo, I think it will be much easier making Palo reservations on a 14 night cruise.

That's why I said you should be making your payment at least one business day before that deadline. That way there will be no worries.

You would think the 14 night will be easier, but you'll be surprised. We were not able to get our brunch reservation, but did get dinner on the 15 night.

AskTracy, afer final payment, do we get Dreams Unlimited paraphernalia like shirts, hats, pins/pens or stickers? Will we be required to wear these while aboard ship in honor of getting the group space rates?

Can I get mine in DIS Orange?

Is there a DU piece of clothing that meet's Palo's dress code? Like a John Magi cummerbund that says "Stay out of my space?"
