May 10, 2008 New Ship Of Thieves...May 2008 Repo Thread...Part 4

[HollyTyler]

Good morning/afternoon all, I'm not going to read the last 8 pages or so of the old thread because I'm sure it's just more frustration over not being able to get into the system. If anything important happened after 4am please let me know.

this still sucks

Will try to get back on and book whatever I couldn't get into if I can think straight. No sleep, up every 15-20min, not sure if he's throwing up or coughing and spitting out stuff he's coughed up because both acts sound the same at this point. Fever went back up to almost 103, Tylenol, a popsicle (that's amazing because he doesn't like them), but now temp is down to a reasonable level. I don't know if I should give him something for the cough or if its better to let him cough that stuff up. I'd imagine it's better to cough it up and out, especially since he's taking so much other stuff (Tamiflu, Amoxicillin, Motrin, Tylenol). Oh, I managed to get him to eat 1 bit of cereal with his popsicle. Not much, and I don't blame him for not being hungry, but don't want to give him all these meds on an empty stomach, but have to give them to him.

OK.....done whining. Sorry!

Just got off the phone with DCl, as everyone else has said, no brunch or tea left. They were very helpful and even tried to book on their end and had the wait we have.

Morning all. I got in this morning finally and booked a Palo dinner. No brunches left, so I will try at the 75-day mark and/or when I get on the ship. I've never done it, so it would be nice, but I'm not going to fret over it. I only wanted one excursion, which I did not get. DH is a sailing nut and really wanted to do the excursion on the America's Cup boat in Cabo. I will keep trying for that and hope for the best. It would be great if I could get that for DH. What a mess last night.

Off to church.

That sounds like fun...my DH loves sailing and grew up with it his dad always had one they went out on. I think there is an age limit my DS is only 7 so I think they won't let him they would of loved it though...good luck getting it

Tip for others finally started the process of getting an excursion pick only the one you like and do that first and then move to the next if you try multi then the computer bring back in the their order and you'll book ones you are not as interested in first ...the one I really wanted will have to wait...of course other I wanted was booked Tried phoning them they said there is a site to complain so they could be aware of this problem...I would think they are aware...maybe they should fix it for next time....I was too nice and you know how that goes you are too nice you get nothing

 

[fourmcds]

Just got palo dinner, way later than i wanted but I hope I can change the time...like the date though. At least I have something to show for hours on here

Off to class!

 

[txSleepingBeauty]

aaargh the dreaded error message and then I'm back to being "serviced"

 

[txSleepingBeauty]

unfortunately what do you want to bet that the 75 day mark will be just as bad? all of us trying again, plus the new cruisers, PLUS that's the 90 day mark for the first Mex Riveria cruise. yikes

 

[Ginamarie]

ARGH!!

We're having the same problem about not being able to book DBro for the kids dolphin swim. The same thing came up when trying to book our canopy tour for part of the group- DSis is 17 and it didn't want to let her in. Now it's showing the tour totally booked.

Couldn't get on the pirate ship, but now it's showing in drydock?? That totally screws up our Puerto Vallerta visit, and it's one I was really looking forward to!

Here's what we did get:
DePalm Island in Aruba
Harbor Cruise/Scenic Drive in Cabo
City Tour with Cliff Divers in Acapulco
Parasailing on CC (for DH's birthday surprise)

Part of my group is also doing
Dolphins in Cabo (but can't get into the kids tour yet)
Horseback riding in Acapulco


We REALLY wanted Palo brunch, but it seems all those spots are taken. I can't even seem to get to the dinner times available, though I didn't want dinner.. I wanted brunch or high tea!

 

[TADsMommy]

Well, it's been a crazy night. After many time outs, endlessly swimming fishies and being booted into oblivion, we were luckier than most and were able to book all but two excursions. After 5 straight hours of frustration mixed with bits of excitement (each time I was lucky enough to get through and actually book something), I went to bed at 2a, woke up at 6a and was able to get the last two excursions.

I don't know if it is a connection speed, good luck or my undying stubborn determination to just get it done. I wasn't going to let those fishies get the best of me. Had two computers going the entire time.

Please don't give up. There is still lots of availability. I am so wired, I don't think I will be able to get any sleep right now. I am happy to help anyone try to book their ressies. If you want to PM me, I will send you my cell phone. If you want to give me a call, I will see what I can do.

I will say, it was much easier this morning (I still got kicked out twice and "hung up" on one computer, but one made it through).


Here’s what we booked:

Excursions …

Cabo San Lucas: Canyon Canopy Adventure – 8:30a-2:00p

Acapulco: Mini Jeep Rhino Adventure – 12:15p-4:15p

Puerto Vallarta: Las Caletas Getaway – 8:45a-3:45p

Aruba: Sail & Snorkel – 8:45a-12:45p

Castaway Cay: Walking & Kayak Nature Adventure – 9:30a-12:45p


Palos …

Brunch: Monday, 5/12 – 11:00a-1:00p

Tea: Thursday, 5/15 – 3:00p-4:00p

Dinner: Saturday, 5/17 – 8:00p-10:00p

Oh yeah, and I forgot to mention--- DH got the awful puking flu around 3 am. So even when I gave up on the stupid fishies, I was still up all night with misery

Gina, sorry you're sick too! HOly cow, if it's what tyler has, it sucks.

But at least he told me he's hungry and wants a chicken nugget from yesterday. Good, but still looks just as bad.

 

[Mom323]
