[Shercara]

Here's the official count down timer!
Happy Monday night Gang!

Bob, DS said he got your son's e-mail, I don't think it was obnoxious, since when I asked what he had to say the reply was "nothin' much!" (so typical) LOL

Patty, you've got to get Mutt to "CHAT" these guys up!
(No you can't go twice!)

Have a good night all!
Sher

 

[peagreenid]

Mutt won't be the talker here..........that would be JEFF....
Aren't all girls that way?

home for lunch....gotta scoot......

smiles Patty

 

[Shercara]

Silly me - I was confused -I guess I meant Jeff!! See if she can get this group talking!

Hope you've all had a great day!
Sher

 

[peagreenid]

I just realized that we leave Boise in 50 days.........woohoo!

[Shercara]

How many more days? !!!

DCL came through for us! We are booked pre-cruise at the SWAN~OR~DOLPHIN for the great rate of $99.00. I requested in December '01 "if possible" we would like to stay at the Dolphin (laundry, 24hr convenience store, larger hotel = more rooms = better chance of an upgrade, with my Starwood’s Perferred Guest Membership) Well, much to my dismay, I called DCL the other day and was told we were booked in the Swan, who I contacted, and was told they were all booked, but the Dolphin had rooms available.

Boy was I confused & disappointed, so that’s what I told DCL. I know it was only a request, but it was made in Dec, and the Dolphin had twice as many rooms as the Swan, and my DS 13, does not want to stay in a hotel called “THE SWAN!”

They said they would see what they could do, and I guess they worked some of that Disney Magic, and now I’m “doing the Dolphin Dance!”

If any of you are going pre- or post cruise to WDW – did you see that Early Entry is back as of Oct 1st?

Did everyone get the excursions they wanted?

Have a good Thursday!

I only have two questions:

1) Should somebody call Disney and have them stock up on the beer. I'm worried they may not have enough after following all the above posts!

2) Never been on a cruise b4! I hear most people Tip above the recommended amount to all the different CMs & Servers. In a dollar amount, how much should I plan on tipping if I tip at 50% over the recommended amount????

I know...Math questions suck but I have no idea how many CMs & Servers we're talking about and what the "recommended" amounts are.

We're getting closer and it sounds like we have a pretty fun crowd on board! Can't wait!!!

 

[peagreenid]

tipping is certainly at your discretion.

suggested tips $24.50 Dining room server
$17.50 Dining room Asst. Server
$ 6.00 Dining room head server
$24.50 Stateroom host/hostess


These are all per person......................72.50 per person
or $217.50 if you go the extra 50%.

And you are probably right about the beer......LOL.

We've been sitting in the shadows reading this thread, and finally signed up.

DW and I will be along for the trip. Second time on the Wonder. Hope it will be as good as the first.

The Formal and Semi-formal nights are finally clear. I've heard of some 50's and 70's dress-up nights. Is this just for the adult areas, or for dinner as well?

[peagreenid]

Are you sailing on the Magic or the Wonder? You said the Wonder.....you are welcome to hang out with us on our thread even if you aren't sailing with us......... Bob doesn't bite.....although he may not leave you any beer!!

[Bob Noble]

Hey that's MY bud Light

Welcome to Uncle Edgar.

ChiTwnFam, Yes please call DCL and advise them to replace the soda drink fountain station with a Beer Tap station. Purely in the efforts of good customer service.

Sher and Patty, I think there is a fine line between the Teens saying nothing and then going to the point of help I've fallen and I can't stop chatting on the internet.



All the Best,
Bob

 

[dis4me]

Uncle Edgar 50 and 70s nights are just for the clubs not for dinner.Wouldn't that be intertesting though


ChiTwnFam We have had excellent stateroom host and dining servers so we have always tipped them well beyond reccomended However I didn't feel the asst server was that great. We did give him a littl extra though.The head servers(both times )We never saw (except tip night ) so We only gave the rec amount. You will know what you think they deserve and can give accordingly.

Welcome Uncle Edgar!

Hey, gang. Did you catch that post that 11/2 Magic cruisers just got their documents?????? Ours can't be far behind!

I wonder how Grand Cayman is faring through Isadore? The latest weather channel update has just put Cozumel in a Hurricane Watch.

Linda

 

[Uncle Edgar]

Yes, we are on the Magic on the 9th, not the Wonder.

Received the infor and booked the shore excursions earlier this week.

49 days, 11 hours and 45 minutes until NWA 586 departs for Orlando.

So far I've got internet coupons for:
Hog's Breath
The Green Parrot
Crabby Dicks'
The Iguana Cafe
And Carlos'n Charlies

Found anything for Grand Cayman yet?

[peagreenid]

I misunderstood you when I read that you
this was the second time on the Wonder.... (actually I was thinking.......hmmmmm....uncle edgar has ALREADY been in BOB's Beer..... )

Welcome aboard.........glad you'll be joining us. We are planning a meet at the ESPN club prior to the Sail-A-Way party. This worked out wonders for us last year. Nice to put faces to names and be able to "greet" friends while aboard.

Well.....gotta run.....Julia is at a school dance and needs a ride home..... And I have the 10th ANNUAL WOMENS FITNESS CELEBRATION in the morning bright and early. 19000 women walking/running a 5K bright and early is a wonderful sight.

talk to you soon

Hey - where is everybody -- did you all go away for the weekend and leave me at home cooking for my DS's 8th B'day Party that we are having next weekend?? I've got the sauce made, and the eggplant parm is the freezer with the grilled sausage!

Welcome Uncle Edgar! Glad you joined us! If there are any other "lurkers" out there, come on in, and join the "party!" It's lot's of fun to count down together!

Well, here's your countdown clock! I've done my duty for today -- I'm off to watch the Emmy's for a half hour, then it's Soprano's Time!

If any of you are near northern NJ, the party is Sat. at 6pm!
Have a good night!

Its been a hectic week. I haven't had a day off with DH in about 3 weeks and well, we had SATURDAY AND SUNDAY off together....woohoo! The last thing I wanted to do was touch my computer.......(he hates my computer) so with the exception of a little business stuff I had to do.....I skipped everything else. We went to see MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING today. What a Hoot!!

Woohoo! We are leaving Boise in 45 days.

Greetings to all as we count off the days leading in to week 6.

Boy I hope the island of Cozumel has some beach left for us by the time we get there.

Hey Sher, our DD turned 9 today, so we did the girl friend party on Friday and the family party today.

Take care,
Bob

PS,
DW and I watched the Magic leave for the Eastern trip on Saturday for the first time on the web cams. Really cool

The port cam does not update often. I like the twopalms as it updated automatically every 10 secs. Also saw another ship, Carnival I believe sail by before the Magic.
Later,
