May 10, 2008 Ship of Thieves...May 2008 Repo Thread...Part 7

I have no idea what I'm wearing for formal nights. I'm afraid that what's in the closet won't fit, and I really don't want to go spending money on new stuff.

It is a problem, particularly if like me you don't do anything else formal at all.

I do have a black skirt that just about fits. It has a handkerchief hem with the points almost reaching my ankles and the short bits just under the knees. Would this do do you think? Trouble is I still can't find sparkly tops. I had hoped to get a dress or two for semi formal etc, but I look silly. If I have a shorter one on I look like a filled donut!!!

We have a 30 minute grocery stop in Florida that came with our ground travel. I am going to purchase the wine and champagne there and put it in a special suitcase. After that, I'll just pray that none of them break!

That's okay for a bottle or two, but I'm talking about a case or two for the champagne girls tasting party. How do I get that much onboard in a suitcase??? Especially, without breaking.....and all the tiaras to go with it?

I wonder if Shirley knows about this new shipping thing now? She usually updates her post when something new happens and since she is friends with the port guy I would have thought he would have called her.

Jackie, did you call and ask him? I was going to do that but I didn't want to hound him if you had already called.

I was thinking that it was a typo and that the actual dimension of a records storage box (Never occurred to me that it might be "record albums" because I don't think anyone even HAS record albums anymore!!) like you buy at Office Depot would likely be 12" x 12" x 16". But if you already talked to him and he confirmed that the last dimension really is 6" then I guess that's that!

NO boxes are allowed to be shipped anymore.

Which Fuji did you get. We are on our second Fuji. Most recent purchase was the E900.

I ordered the Fuji Finepix S8000fd. My reason for considering it was because I was so happy with the S700 I bought myself this past spring as a replacement for my Sony.

The Fuji completely surprised me.

I've shipped boxes that were about 18 x 18 x 12 and about 20 x 12 x 10 and didn't have any problem and they were scrapbook stuff and I know they weighed more than 20 lbs each. In fact, for some reason, 46 pounds comes to mind for one box. Paper is heavy you know!

I am just replying to everyones posts since I know some skim but......NO boxes are allowed to be shipped anymore.

 

[lillygator]

Marr how did you find this out?

 

[granmaz]

I guess I won't be bringing as much stuff if I can't ship my box! That was going to give me lots of room in my luggage and alot of it wasn't going to return home to me!

How many bags can the girls take? Perhaps you can utilise their allowance. You can still ship home at the end of the cruise(provising you have a box of course!!!

Starts with a "N" and ends with a "M".

[nskjerven]

I am so used to usernames at this point...I'll probably be colling Holly, HollyTyler....!

V are you gonna call me nskjerven dare ya just try to pronouce that

 

[EllaEnchanted]

I thought Karen was shipping the champagne?

Yes she is, but since she can't ship it to the boat anymore, she was going to ship to my hotel and maybe to someone else's hotel if we needed more people because there were too many boxes. I know I'll get at least a case or two shipped to my hotel.

Kelly, I think many DISers want to be considerate of your DH. Any recommended behavior when drinking in his presence? Thanks.

Woody

agreed. I know I joke about drinking like a fish, and I admit I do this even on board, (with my one or two drinks a day) but I don't want to offend. Is Jon sensitive to this?

 

[iankh]

yuck!

Bloomin' Onion and a Wallaby Darned please!


do you use dotti's weight loss zone for restaurant points? She has some good one on there.

From what I can calculate, the Bloomin Onion would be about 55 points.

After I called IDS and got told no boxes I called Disney Cruise Lines to ask if anyone will take box shipments and they said sorry but no. Then they said only 2 bags and 1 carry on. I said wow but I am on the repo and she said well maybe bring really really big suit cases. She then said the kids count too so pack really big bags for them too.

Oh and she said my purse would not count as my carry on so I guess I will bring a large purse lol

 

[nskjerven]

lowepro backpack (or like branded camera/laptop carrier)

[nskjerven]

Call me Woody.

Woody

oh no, I'm calling you Woody73 (except I'm going to forget the number and use a different one each and every time I see you) walk away and be afraid

I've been trying to find the regulation for how many bags you can bring on board

I came across this on one of the cruise sites

"In general, cruise lines will not limit the amount of luggage you bring onboard though there may be limited storage space in your cabin for empty suitcases (most beds are designed to allow most suitcases to fit below). Additional storage space is available onboard."

 

[lillygator]

DCL has let you check more bags prior, they give out extra tags at the port.

Really, I was planning on taking a box aboard the ship - I could pack it in a duffle???

anyone have some kids they want to loan me so I can use their suitcases????

It will be fine. On our last cruise there were several women that wore black pants or skirts with black shirts and then covered their shoulders with a sparly shawl or scarf. Looked great!
