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

[gydell]

oh well...this should make it more interesting...wonder what else will change in the span of 53 days?

Who wants to bet on who get their docs first?

I can't even get a room much less documents!

 

[Making_Memories]

in her first post, she mentioned she called and talked to Steve, whoever he is???

The owner of this service is David Adams and the phone number to IDS is 1(321)799-9100

 

[cquick]

no no no..I am bringing a cooler...what about checked strollers? I have checked those before.
This is going to really get the boards going I bet!

Oh, I am sure a stroller would be not be considered your "carry-on" but maybe you could call it the baby's carry-on!

 

[granmaz]

They really should have had a date further in the future to begin this. After all there are all the fishmail groups and their gifts, plus Linda's scrapbooking things.

 

[Making_Memories]

Well, that could be a problem, I was planning on shipping the scrapbook stuff (at least some of it) ahead of time. I guess I could send it anyway, what are they going to do, send it back? Probably not.......

Kinda like "only magnets on the doors". People are still taping stuff on the doors as of March 2nd.

He said they will return it by refusing the shipment. So don't mail it that would be a headache for you.

 

[lillygator]

now I am shaking in my boots...no carry on booze?

 

[cquick]

I will now be the one in the terminal with all the layered clothing getting ready to get on the ship in order to reduce my luggage:

1. underclothes, layered for each day
2. swimsuit
3. sunglasses/hat
4. shorts/tops
5. pants
6. tropical outfit
7. pirate skirt and top
8. formal dress
9. lightweight jacket
10. and then a ship of thieves t-shirt on top

who else is joining me?

GREAT IDEA, then you can put all your champagne and beer and vodka in your suticases!

OK - here is the scoop and first I want to say I am truly very sorry to give everyone this news.
I made numberous of phone calls and what has been posted is true. Reasons being that so many boxes, cartons etc were coming in and there was no way to check all items shipped so the coast Guard said NO MORE OF ANYTHING.
If you put water, sodas, liquor etc in carry ons or check ins and if it is found, it will be confiscated - now 2 suitcases and 1 carry on can be carried by each person which includes kids. You can no longer ship diapers, baby food etc. It has to be a carry on or check in.
Wish I would have had better news, but security has tighten down and getting harder, but it is in your best interest and safety that these steps were taken. To tell you how strong they have gotten, Norm and I now have to be double badged - one by the port and the second one by the US Government.
Always

OMG, so no more checked stuff? OH NO!

Can I just say.....C r a p !!!!!! I was planning to bring wine and other adult beverages w/ me!

Well DCL this morning said to me that a box of wine COULD be a carry on. So we shall see what happens at port I suppose. I wonder if they will enforce the no coolers rules now though?

 

[Making_Memories]

well I wonder how come no DIS'er has posted that their box was shipped back? Well, I guess there could be people cruising who aren't DIS'ers.

He said people have called him pissed about boxes coming back to them. I feel bad for that as it is not his fault at all.

[cquick]

I will probably be last as I am in FL and always seem to be the tail end of the group!

Yup, I think you are right, it seems like the northeasterners get theirs first!

 

[cquick]

There are going to be alot of kids carry booze into the terminal, sigh....


Pj

Good One! I hope they don't have to show ID's!!!!

 

[granmaz]

Linda, you missed out your Mexican outfit!!

 

[Making_Memories]

Please PM me and I will update the website. I will be home late tonight and might forget.

Pj

I sent you a reminder PM

 

[Making_Memories]

so if you bring a case of water/wine...you have to lug it around or they will check it with checked luggage and count it as your carryon?

Two reps made it sounds as if you are then stuck carrying it around with you until your room is ready.

 

[seaulater]

And where are you going to hide the scrapbooking things?

!

That's what I'll pack in the suitcases!

Guess my carry on for the airplane is gonna be really heavy. Is there a weight restriction for your carry-on? Cuz I bet I can get 70 pounds of paper and books into a carry on that will fit the restrictions on size wise.

 

[pjpoohbear]

Thanks Marr, I think I am going to put this on the welcome page. If there are changes in the future they will go there as well.

Pj

Ps. my fish group, if my e-mail inbox is filled at home...... lol.

Yup I did that before with my extra bags. They are all parroting a ready made script when I call 2 bags 1 carry on due to limited storage space in your stateroom and coast guard has set the rules not them, wish they could help but they can't.

I wonder if we all show up with a ton of stuff would they really wanna piss us off and try to deny our belongings? I bet not but I will take really big bags incase.

Get out the cameras. I can see us all re-packing at the port curbside at 9:45 a.m.
