May 10, 2008 New Ship Of Thieves...May 2008 Repo Thread...Part 5

[tink too]

I've just managed to book everything I wanted! Got our excursions and spa treatments sorted and registered our DD6 into the Oceaneer Club!

I was really worried after reading all the horror stories from the repeat cruisers. It sounded like many of you were going insane after seeing the little blue fishies who just keep swimming, swimming, swimming... But, here I am, wide awake in Scotland at 6.15 am all organised within an hour! BTW - I've also quadruple checked everything and printed everything out for my files!

Although we weren't bothered about booking Palo (I know, what is wrong with us? ), being the good Diser that I am, I had a wee looky anyway - there's NOTHING available at all!

Hope all the rest of the first time cruisers on here managed to get everything they wanted!

Well, since I'm awake and it's almost sunrise, I might as well go do some !

Actually, they are...we bought the Love Frog and the Pug today. What have I gotten into!?!?!

Oh we have those...are you surprised?!

Webkins ?:

So, what is everyone going to do about their pets while we are on the ship for 2 weeks? Will they really die if they aren't fed in that time? I know I am not getting internet access so the kids can take care of their pets. Good thing my mom likes to play the games too, I'll have to ask her to babysit the pets while we are gone

ha, I bet molly dog that she added last week (after pestering me for 6 months to get her computer OS upgraded) is dead. I'll let ya know this week.

Wilson got the turtle for his bday. Shall we exchange names to have the kids chat thru webkins? of course perhaps that isn't good since my kids have killed theirs allready

I'm going to bed, nite nite see ya tomorrow on the new thread.

I agree...it's more headache than anything. We have 4 computers (2 are in Mark's office) and of the 4, one has vista...that's the only one that has problems. For example, the boys can't access the Webkinz website from it. I don't have much a problem with anything else, but that's the computer that's in our family room, so it's a hassle because they really want to get on their webkinz. (We usually all sit on the computer upstairs for them to access it...I know more about Webkinz than I care to admit!!!)

Interesting to hear that. We run 8 systems (1/2 XP Pro, 1/2 Vista) and the best running are the Vistas. Son's is a Vista system and he has no problem accessing Webkinz, you never know.

We'll see you there - we usually catch at least a couple on a 7 night cruise so I'm sure we'll see more. Though we tend to go more to the PG-13 and R films.

Yes, this is my chance to see grown up films

goodnight all - happy Oscar day

HA HA...no I'm not surprised. You scare me! (Not really.)

Webkinz don't die...from their site:

In answer to your very important question, no, your Webkinz pet can't die. But if your pet's health dips below 9, it will definitely get sick. When that happens, your pet will have a green face and a thermometer in its mouth and you will have to take your pet to the clinic to visit Dr. Quack to make it feel better. The clinic is in the "Things to Do" menu. Your pet will never run away, either, though it will get very sad if you do not visit it.

I can't find the paddle boats on shore excursions. Do you just rent them when you get there or are they all gone?

If they don't show up, just go to the excursion desk onboard Sat afternoon. I am sure they are not all booked up.

Well that IS interesting! The three main computers that the we've tried the webkinz on all have the same settings and the same virus software so we assumed it was Vista, maybe not?! Go figure!

Wife and I have high end systems for the business. But son's is an off the shelf Dell, low end system. Does make one wonder.

Ok good folks, time for me to head to bed too! I checked one last time and the boys and I are still in the lifeboat! You would think by now they would know which rooms are open!! Humm, could it be that I am being upgraded to a suite as the last opening onboard?? Will just have to wait and see! Hugs to all

 

[txtwins2000]

i HATE the stupid fish!!!!! I even know how to flyfish but I just wish I knew what kind of flies they liked!! Then we could all have sushi!!!

Anyways, it's been 1 hour and 51 minutes and I did make it to the excursion page and picked what I wanted but now I'm just waiting!!! I hope it won't go away before it even comes up to save!!!!! Lots of fun!!!

We're still in them too!!

 

[taysmom]

go back in...alot of people get stuck, after 20 min. your excursions are released so log out and log in again. Alot of us had the same prob at 90 days...

Yep, that is probably it!

 

[CameronsDad]

Hope everyone was able to book their excursions. Off to bed, long day today, did sermon at church and just finished preping for a city meeting.

OH NO!! It sounded like folks were not having that trouble tonight.

I wish! I'm still stuck with the fish! I guess I wasn't lucky!!! Won't be buying a lottery ticket!!

Welcome!! At the end of this thread there's a detailed list of info! And since this is about to run out I'm sure it will be on the next thread too!!!

And yes, I'm still watching the fish! No room, No reservations!!!

 

[granmaz]

Great! I'll email you...I think I might have missed something. Who is Mrs. Bennett? Sorry if I should know. I'm a bit slow!
Lisa

I also NEED to know who Mrs. Bennett is. I'm slower than Lisa.

How pretty is Helen Mirrens Dress, she's always so beautiful.

I would like to think I would look like her - only a few years to go and it isn't looking good!

12 minutes in... all excursions booked....

NO PALO!!!

Well done on the excursions. Shame about Palo - hopefully when you board the ship.

Well, not too bad, only 10 minutes to book excursions. We were not able to book anything at Palo. But everything else is done.

Joseph

Not bad at all for excursions. Took 5 hours and a quarter for me to get 1 excursion the other week!

I am hoping to get away for the March brunch if I can arrange for a care worker to watch the boys. The April Dinner is the first night of passover, so my parents would shoot me if we were not at Seder that night with them. Both boys will hopefully not figure out that we are cruising again untill we get to MCO and get on the bus.

As a funny, just remember that if Jesus had held his last supper at any other time then Passover, instead of a tasteless flat waffer for communion, you would have a nice piece of egg bread!

Well, I never thought of that.

Oh no I thought things were going better.
