**JULY 11, 2010*** Double Dip Wonder!

[Kaizen]

I am amazed that they got confused with who was on and off ship as their system seemed pretty sophisticated to me. What a nightmare to be left behind!!

That second morning on Castaway Cay, the card scanners weren't working. When I got off, they just waved me on....Vicki said when they got off, they were writing down names and room numbers. I thought they had it fixed by noon when I got back on, because they scanned my card.

It's probably not as big a worry as far as having unwanted people get on the ship in Castaway Cay, but it certainly would be easy enough for a passenger to get left behind there. (I've thought about trying it on purpose once or twice)
Someone did leave an awfully nice stroller by the tram stop. Garry, Vicki and I could not believe all the people who walked past it, and yet, not one person took the initiative to deliver it to the ship.

ok, who wants to do it again???

me !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I always imagined that the CMs do a sweep of CC looking for stray people. I know we stayed on day 2 until about 4:15 and they were definitely out in force cleaning up. As for the stroller, I lost my DD's glasses at CC and Guest Services said they sweep CC and the dock for lost articles. Whatever gets swept up before departure gets sent to GS. The rest is held until the ship returns (apparently they hold items by date and ship).

 

[justmestace]

Did they find the glasses? Do they have a phone number to call to see if they found them after we left, or are you just out of luck? I know you said you had to get new ones.

The stroller was still there as we pulled out. What a shame, it looked like a nice one. I can't imagine forgetting it. But I'm of the opinion that if your youngest needs a stroller, then they're too young. We didn't take ours to Disneyland or any place like that, until they were old enough to handle the walking by themselves. I'm always stunned by the brand new babies I see in the parks. And the strollers on a cruise ship are a nuisance.

No. They had me fill out a form at GS describing the item, and giving them my contact info. She said they spend quite a bit of time rummaging through Lost and Found trying to match articles with forms folks fill out, but they already had a whole bunch of glasses and sunglasses, so I imagine that they are a little more difficult to match up with owners.

What's funny is that my DD absolutely loved her old glasses and was so sad when she found out I lost them. She cried and was convinced she would never find another pair she liked as much as those, but she is very happy with her new pair and has received so many compliments that I think she likes them better.

Kudos to Eyeglass World on Merritt Island!

I've been to the Lost and Found warehouse behind WDW and the largest amount of anything "lost" they had there were glasses and sunglasses. It's an interesting place, funny the things people manage to lose.
Congrats on finding a place to get new ones, and finding ones she liked. I know first hand how hard it is to find glasses I like!

I bet that was interesting! When I worked in retail and food, people did leave behind really odd things.

I can't say enough good things about the folks at Eyeglass World. They were so accomodating and helpful. I couldn't get in touch with my DD's optometrist so I could get a copy of her prescription, but EW did exams for $39 and got her right in and the exam was super quick. We rolled up at 9:15 and at 11:45 we drove away with new glasses.

GOOD MORNIN ALL

we had rain



AGAIN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[wdwgoose]

IT was great to cruise with everyone OLDER and newbies. The friendship and love was great, I know I was not around much but it is a health issue. SO I do hope to be around to do it AGAIN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this year has been hard on me and I know I have to down size alot, the farm the horses, work and start out alot slower. It will be hard to give up some of my babies, They have help in many ways but then life does have its ups and downs. I do hope to find great caring homes for them. So this time next year I should not have as much or even any.

I went back on antibiotics again, so far taking it slower so I can do more. Lost of 1000 bales of hay from rain.

okay back to work

THANK YOU to all my cruise was great I wish the garry banner could have been put up at grills as the ship went by but they would not do it.

have a good day all

You got a raw deal, my friend.

At least you had some (probably unwanted) company in the room while you were (trying to) rest.

I'd like to finish healing and be pain free before we do it again, but I definitely feel the need for a Do-Over!
One day for sure, we will be doing a Celebration Cruise, in honor of a new liver.

 

[Kaizen]

That sounds like the PERFECT reason to celebrate!!. Wish I would have run into more of my DIS friends on the boat. It's funny, I seemed to run into the same people (that I didn't know) over and over at the most random places and others I never seemed to see. Guess I wasn't at the right place at the right time!

I think that is a WONDERful reason for another cruise! Let's hope it comes soon!

Isn't it strange how that happens. It happens every cruise. You can talk to some online and really get to know them but unless you are linked for dinner or show up at a pre-arranged event you never see them. One of the reasons we switched to late seating for this cruise. I was afraid I'd never see my Blabbermouth friends if I didn't.

I told Jared he should step up to the plate and get tested. Jay and I are both O+, so that means Jared should be, too, right??

It's raining here too. Not too much so far.

I might have to go to Omaha a week early. Megan's blood pressure isn't good and she may have to deliver earlier than they'd thought before. I should know by tomorrow or Monday morning at the latest.
