July 5, 2011 - Mickey's WONDERful Alaskan Adventure

[tksbaskets]

Good morning everyone! I have a hint for you creme brulee lovers that you might not have known.

Since Parrot Cay and Tritons share the same galley if you are in Parrot Cay on the regular rotation dinner night you can ask your servers nicely for creme brulee and they will more than likely be happy to get it for you. That's because the night Parrot Cay is on regular rotation so is Triton's That way if you love creme brulee you can have it two nights of your cruise. We've done this on a number of our cruises. Just remember to ask nicely.

Sweet~ Literally~

Oh, I second this! My favorite dessert from the dining rooms for sure.

I agree by far the best dessert on the ship - and I never even thought about asking at Parrot Cay on a regular night menu. That's a great idea!!

You mean a mickey bar? Vanilla ice cream covered with chocolate? You can get one any night at dinner and you can even get them from room service.

I'd better make that two laps for the FE and a couple around deck 4

Double checking all my reservations with DCL and found out that our rooms at the Fairmont were not exactly what I wanted, so made some changes to our hotel stays and transportation. You think you have everything arranged just so and find out that you could have gotten a better deal just booking it yourself is not fun. I am so glad that I double checked, was able to cancel hotel and transportation with DCL and just book it myself. It really worked out in the end because now we get to rock a limo from the airport to the hotel. We are still taking the DCL transfer from port to airport post-cruise though. Cannot wait!

Tracy - did you send out the final FE list yet? If so I've misplaced it. Can you please resend?

Thanks!

Only 7 more days of school, and I'm in total vacation mode! I'm half way there now, but just need to get through the 5th grade family night, then awards night, filed day and the student faculty kickball game (can't believe I signed on for that one!) Started picking up things at CVS today, and am ready to make piles. too bad I still don't have the luggage tags - travel agent said cruise line said they were on the way. that was Tuesday - we'll see.

Wow, this is exciting! We'll be on the ship before we know it!

 

[tksbaskets]

We added to our pile yesterday - two pairs of binnoculars. Three weeks

I spent some time last night on the FE swap. Now I have to work on our door magnets. Not a ton as my men would protest. Just a tasteful smattering...

[WDWLVR]

Haven't even tought about door magnets yet. We usually put up one or two so I'll have to work on that.

When we saw a trailer for Cars2 this weekend we noted that we won't see it at home as we're sure it will be the big movie for the cruise. That should be fun.

Need to start getting more things out and on the table like passports, binoculars, etc.

 

[SoCalDCLfan]

Our last day of school is today! Now I can start packing, making magnets, and putting together our FE gifts !!!!!! I can't believe we're less than 3 weeks away. We'll be onboard before we know it!

Good information. From what I've been told by friends the key is to layer. So we are planning on long pants, short sleeve shirts, fleece hoodies, and a waterproof windbreaker jacket. We'll most likely wear all layers for our whale watching excursion but maybe just one or two layers for days when we are in port but no on the water.
