welp, finally got 1 excurscion booked, tried palo but all that's left are port days

 

[Ginamarie]

We read ALOT of reviews, etc. of both ... and chose Las Caletas. I believe everything mentioned is included (hiking, cooking lesson, clay craft activity, snorkel gear, kayaks, tubes). The only negative I found was someone thought they were too "structured" ... this because they came to the lunch area 90 minutes after scheduled lunch time and they were not happy with the selection that was presented to them at that time (most of the food was already disposed of). They also had some fun extras ... monkeys, etc. for photo ops and seems like they welcome you bringing your own cameras vs. taking the pictures and charging $$. This was our first choice (and what we booked), but Paradise was our 2nd choice ... also sounds fun.

Well then, Las Caletas it is! Of course I have to get through the swimming fishy hell first.
I can't believe I've been doing this (on and off) for almost 11 hours now.

I read someone say that you had to confirm within 20 minutes or lose it. some had a few reservations on the list uncon firmed, and when they got stuck on one they lost the lot!

I had three disappear that way!

. . . Hasn't this experience been a pissa!

There's something seriously wrong when it takes longer to book an excursion online than the in-flight time from Los Angeles to Orlando!

AAAAHHHHHHHH, now it won't even let me into my reservation!

I'm getting the RED TEXT.

I tried to log on just now and getting an error that the reservation system is down...anyone else or just me?

I managed all three Palo ressies, Aruba Natural wonders and Cabo Harbour Cruise and Scenic Drive. Plus a hot stone massage!!!!! I think I was pretty near the last high tea to be booked.

We got the same land excursions you booked. We chose 8:30 for both. Looking forward to seeing you there.

I could have flown to Mexico and signed up for these ressies in person in the amount of time I spent on them. Heck I live in California. I could have drove to Mexico in this time!

But my brunch wasn't unconfirmed. It showed up on my list, and now it's gone, gone, gone. And DCL is lying that brunch and tea are even available yet.

I lost and had to go back in and rebook ALOT due to the confirmation not going thru. The confirmation seemed to take much longer even than the actual booking. Sorry to hear you lost yours. I am sure there will be openings at 75days, otherwise you should be able to book onboard.

UGH!! How frustrating!!

Funny, I just checked my notes on that before your post. So far, so good! He was supposed to take it again at 7am but threw up around then, so I gave it to him at 9:30 and it"s still staying down 1 hour later, so I think we're good on that...sound right?

Should be good after 1 hour. Just be aware some kids have problems with hallucinations or abnormal behavior with tamiflu. Just a very small amount of kids, but it can be a concern.

 

[txSleepingBeauty]

phew I'm done.

Aruba-half day jeep & beach tour
CC- parasailing
palo-Aruba night @8

will have to try for brunch or tea on board....

Yes that is what happened to me. Bummer. Had 2 at that time on the list and was waiting for 3 to confirm then it lock up and lost all.

Thank you! I really think the wierd stuff was temp related because that only happened each time it was 103. As soon as we got below that, around 101-102 it stopped. Now it's only 100! Woohoo! The doc called me back and told me it's best to let him keep coughing up the stuff since he's getting enough to spit out, but also said if he's not getting any sleep that I should give him Robitussin DM just so he can get a few hours of rest and then let him cough some more. So since the puking seems to have stopped, I will do that (if we have some onhand....I hope so).

ERROR MESSAGE ERROR MESSAGE

Dear Ginamarie- we hate you! We do not want to pull up your reservation. We do not want you to get any of the excursions/brunches you want. We are perfectly content making your life a living nightmare with our swimming fishies. Oh, have you seen the swimming fishies? Yes? If not, here's a whole screen of them, again! We want to make sure you never forget the way they look all pulled up together like Mickey ears. Don't worry, as soon as you're about to throw the laptop out the window for looking at all the fish, we'll change it up on you. We'll log you out of the system and give you the red message of death. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. In fact, give us another $200 and we will continue to provide you with the poor service you're becoming accustomed to. Thank you and have a magical day!

Would I want Palo on Panama Canal day at 6:30?
