Good morning all. So about 30 min ago I got a email from DCL saying we owe &7.52. Anyone else get this email? Any clue what it is for? The email I got did not say. When I go into my cruise plans it shows the balance as well, but no reason is given.

Just got an email from Disney cruise line with our booking details itinerary and it's says we have a tender at St Thomas would this affect where you get off at for the sky ride? I take it that we won't be docked by Havensight Mall! Am I right ? also it says remaining balance ($3.63) (I've over payed) how has the price changed?

I'm unsure to but if you look at the total and what you have payed I have payed more by $3.63

You know imay have misread the email. I noticed that there is no make payment key. So maybe it is a refund of some tax or something. Also, if you can book the Skyride online, then the tender drop off is at Havensight mall and the Skyride is right across the street.

One word of warning. Just because they let you book online does nor mean the tenders will drop you off at Havensight. I have only read the tenders drop you off at Charlotte. You would then have to take a taxi over to Havensight. Right now I am not convinced that we are going to tender. St Thomas can dock 5 ships and there are only 4 scheduled that day. Right now we could tender, dock at Havensight or dock across the bay at CB. We'll see.

Oh i will have to watch the outcome of this too, i just assumed if you booked it through DCL that either they would take you there or it wouldnt be far to walk, thats what i get for not reading everything its says.

I'll be tying mine down my FE due to my 23dd making it and I really want it as a keepsake! But here's the deal, and I'm not sure how we'll do it. My FE gifts are a good 8 1/2 x 9 so I'm sure they are NOT going to fit in everyone's FE. So I thought about bringing ties and figuring out some way so that they wouldn't 'walk' off, but if ppl don't have 'tie' cutters (fingernail clippers work?) then I'm not sure how to work it. I didn't intend for it to be so big...they just grew and grew and grew... Any ideas?

We will be bringing small scissors in our suitcase that anyone can borrow if they need to. We will be bringing some zip ties to use on our FE. I also made one bag for every cabin and I hope they fit in everyone's FE. I plan on making a large loop of ribbon so if it doesn't fit that I can hang it on the fish itself. I plan on dropping them off the first morning so hopefully everyone will get them quickly.

It says on the excursion that if you don't get into Havensight then you can only book the skyride while onboard I'm sure we will find out in time
What about Havensight mall is it any good?

For those that have a balance remaining on their itinerery, it is due to port taxes. They go up, they go down. If they change after booking, you either get a refund or have to pay extra. It usually isn't more then $10-12, usually less.

Yay!!! And Good to know! So if I have to use the zip ties for all my gifts...I'm sending them to your cabin to get it cut off...lol!!!

I hate I'm gonna have to do that (and I'm sure cm's will give me an 'eye'?), but I don't see any other way.

But hey~ WE are SO excited!!!

Parasailing.......done it twice and it's FABULOUS!!! Highly recommend it

FE's......I use zipties to hook it so it isn't stolen

Magnets......definitely don't put anything out there you can't live without. There are a few I didn't want taken, so I actually put them on the copier and made copies of them & then turned the copies into magnets.

$7.52 ......I received this for both of my upcoming cruises. Was told it was a reduction in the taxes.

Please see below for a link to a St Thomas site that displays what cruise ships are in port and where they are docking. Unfortunately it is only updated to Sept. Hopefully it will and we will know whether we are tendering or not.

It is thundering and lightning here with tornados reported in the area. I think the only fireworks I want to see is on the Magic

 

[TIGGER/POOH4]

Parasailing on CC sounds like fun. How much $$ is it?
