January 14, 2012 Eastern Carribbean Cruise

[SullyMonster]

We are doing Bernards on St. Maarten, Doubloon Turtle Cove Sail & Snorkel on St. Thomas, and have no particular plans at Castaway Cay.

I've booked the Doubloon (8AM) along w/ Palo but didn't see Bernards on the DCL site.......is that something we have to do outside of DCL or was it booked full so we didn't see it?

Bernards is not a DCL excursion it is a seperate tour. http://www.bernardstours.com/
We are doing the Doubloon and Bernards tours as well.
Good Luck!

I haven't book Bernards yet, I wonder what the limit is.

FWIW Becky, our anniversary is the 18th as well so we'll see you at Palo!

I haven't book Bernards yet, I wonder what the limit is.

We're booked on it as well. Hope the kids aren't too board on this sort of tour.......

At what point in time do we close out the FE gift list? It looks as though we have about 7 rooms doing the FE exchange. Since I have not done it before I am just trying to figure out what I will need to get.

I still have to order a FE for our room.

This hopefully will come quickly now that the holidays are nearly on top of us.....My son heard Christmas music on in the car and would not let me change the station...We had to come in the house and put the same station on...Yikes.....We have not had Thanksgiving yet.....

 

[StarGazer99]

Yes I am getting VERY excited!!!

Decided to change our flights to Mon night instead and we'll stay one night in a value resort so we have 8 weeks from tomorrow!!!

 

[4mousefans]

I was wondering about the FE too. We are listed as maybe on the list..kids really want to do it! We have never done this so any help is appreciated!

 

[StarGazer99]

I think the cut off should be by Thanksgiving.

 

[4mousefans]

Please count us as "yes" for the FE! The kids are so excited...we have had "envy" on our previous cruises! LOL As the cruise gets closer, will we get instructions? Now to get busy on those fish extenders...need two!

If you sew, it is very easy to make a FE. I do not, but my friend graciously suprised me with one before our sailing last year. I have seen people use duct tape instead of sewing it together. Duct tape comes in some really great colors now, so it is a great and easier way to do it.

I am not sure how this works, as I have never done it, but it sounds cool. I was looking at the Disney site under my ressie. I saw that you can have a character call your child and have it personalized. I do not know about when they do it, but if you are planning on the cruise as a surprise, that might be a way to do it. If not, a call before the cruise has to add some Magic!

Just saw that our sailing does not come up anymore when searching the DCL website. Does this mean we are fully booked and sold out?

Wow! Maybe. Didn't I send you a PM?? Did you get it?

Hi!

I think it is. I even looked using a different cruise site. It shows as having an ocean view at $1085 pp, but when you click on it, it says none available. Plus I got my room number today, which is very early for a GTY category. Not one drop of pixie dust for an upgrade. But I am fine with it, just as long as I am onboard.

 

[wonkadeb]

Yes, StarGazer99. That was me :0)
I can't believe we are only 58 days out. Our vacation is almost here!!!

 

[StarGazer99]

I'm needing to find someone to share a Limo with us after the cruise from the port to the airport. Please, if there's anyone who can do this with us we'd really appreciate it. It would cost $100.

Still none of the kids know about the cruise, however, I think my daughter is starting to realize something is up. We've decided to surprise them on Black Friday with the scavenger hunt that reveals the cruise!
