I was wondering the same thing! I received one also (for only one of my rooms!). Strange.

I really hope the answer to this question is no!! But my sister was reviewing her documents today and read something about making sure you have the proper travel VISAs. Do I need to be getting something in addition to my passport? I've been reading the boards and planning for almost 2 years and I have never seen anything about visas---so I am assuming I don't need any. But then again, you know what they say about assuming......! So I am asking!!

If you're staying less than 90 days you don't need one.

If you are a U.S. citizen you do not need Visas for any of the ports we are visiting unless you are planning on staying more than 90 days in any of the countries.

If you are not a U.S. Citizen nor a EU citizen then you need to check with the entry requirements of each country. Your profile doesn't list where you are from

Sometimes they go into the reservation to check on something and it automatically generates an email if you gave them your email address. If you booked through a travel agent they receive the emails. You have no idea how many emails a day I get from DCL and then I check every line against my clients original reservation to see if anything changed. Sometimes port taxes change and they get a small refund, other times it has to do with a room assignment being worked on or assigned or a dining waitlist clearing, etc

I called DCL today (tracking don my cruise docs) and, while I had them on the phone, asked about the Cars 2 Premiere. Here's what they told me:

- Cars2 "PreemEar" is on June 24
Other movies to be shown onboard include:
- Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides
- African Cats
- Tron: Legacy
- Tangled
- Gnomeo & Juliet
- Mars Needs Moms

I asked who the CD was and was told that they don't have access to that information (shrug!).

Anyway, just thought I'd share.

Someone from the Transatlantic sailing posted that their cruise director was Peter. I am not familiar with him at all. Every time I sailed it has been Christian or Rachel

Thanks for the movie list. I hope they have some other non animated movies playing. Sometimes at night they show other movies

TWO WEEKS TO GO. I can't believe how quickly the time is going now that we are close

On the four cruises we have been on only ever had Brent, will be strange having someone different...

other times it has to do with a room assignment being worked on or assigned

Let's hope this is it! I'm still waiting for my two VGT rooms.

Thanks so much for the quick replies! We are from the US so I guess we are all set!!!

I got my GTY assignment today for an inside GTY room. It turns out to be a handicap room, I guess no one needed this. My question is does it sleep 4? Does anyone know about occupancy of the AFT HC rooms on the deck 6?

 

[stampinot]

PM me and I can give you the details on our Rome tour!

Some reason. stampinotjulie@yahoo.com

No room assignment yet. I keep checking every day. I have been packing. Trying to fit everything into two suitcases. It is hard because I am bringing all those FE gifts!

 

[skeegan]

Still no room. Getting closer.

I feel your pain on both fronts! I'm looking at my FE stuff and wondering how I'm going to fit it all in.

Take this for what it's worth . . . I talked to DCL today on a different subject (an onboard credit that hadn't been applied) and the guy said we should have our rooms on Monday. He said it was done 2 weeks out, and since it was already 5 PST, we wouldn't get them until Monday. The people who input it all don't work on weekends. We'll see.

 

[stampinot]

On the flight from Atl to Barcelona on June 17? I know there was another family besides us. I cannot remember who they are

 

[Himmin]

We just got our stateroom!!!

6089 we booked an IGT room and have been allocated this one!!

Glad we have our room but slightly worried as I have herd some bad reviews about it since it backs onto the laundry room!!

Anybody have any advice??

 

[stampinot]

No room assignments for us yet!
