May 10, 2008 Ship of Thieves! Stealing the Magic..AGAIN!!! Panama Canal FL to CA!!! Part 2

[granmaz]

just think though, all those in GTY have the chance at an upgrade!!!!!!!

I'm not sure there will be anything to upgrade to with the cruise being a sell out basically, but we can live in hope!

Anything is an upgrade from the lifeboat!

When we were on the cruise last December, there didn't seem that many loungers around apart from at the pools, and they were always full, or saved anyway!!! Is there usually a bit of a battle for them? I think I will be sitting on our verandah then!

I love the chairs on Deck 4! I have always been able to find one there, I just can't stay awake once I sit down! My mom (82) really enjoyed sitting there with DrHug and I in Dec.

yes, people save them, just move their towel....!

Now that is true!!!

Sometimes there are 3 chairs together and someone is asleep in the middle one!

yes, people save them, just move their towel....!

Now that is controversial!!! When I was wandering the almost completely empty decks at 7am there were at least 20 loungers already reserved by the pools.

 

[lillygator]

well just watch one for 30 min or so, if no one comes back, grab it! - although I don't think I have done this...
We rarely get one at the pools and if we do, just one since one of us is up with the kids.

Oh my, thank you for the input! No, I don't think that's what we'd like to do, especially for all that money. And since you did the same excursion I would have say that's all the word I need!!! Hmmm, well, now we'll have to hash this over again and see whether the kids will want to do the Jeep thing or something else. And here I thought we were all settle! HA HA!

We are doing the See and Sea Island tour in Aruba too. Is the submarine the only bad part. I know it doesn't fully sumbmerge and I am fine with that. We have been on the Atlantis serval time and they are ok but not great too. I really just want to see as much as I can.

Marilyn the CMs put towels on the back of the loungers in the morning. I wonder if the is what you saw and you thought they were saved.

I know what you mean Amy, but these had books or other things on them.

I guess I could be there for 7am and stay there all day!!! I think I worry there aren't many sun loungers and I won't be able to get one for when I want one!!!

Thats great that it doesn't interfere with the flights and just think every class will mean one less before the cruise!

 

[txSleepingBeauty]

and I just checked, classes don't start again til june 2, we get back the 27th. perfect!!

Kari - what great news!!

 

[Tigger1221]

Just skimmed through...don't know how far back I need to look to catch up Still looking for Monica's picture ...I wanted to see the cute haircut By the way I love all the pictures everyone posts makes me feel like I know you already...I'm a picture person...names is a whole new ballgame Tommy Bannana travels tonz doesn't he? John 1 loved the family pic and Calmom you have such cute boys You'll need to let us know how Jack enjoyed the game being the #1 fan. Tigger sorry about your grandmom Pixie dust to everyone who needs it

Taysmom-thanks for the Discover card tip We don't have discover but was going to get it for cash back but they said it was only up to $800 purchases so it didn't seem worth it for only $40 back...but would have been great if we already had a discover card. I'll have to come to peace knowing we'll pay top $ for everything(I got in after everyone so my tix were more$ and we went through DCL so no unboard credit DH doesn't want to change ressies to TA fear there would be a mix up and wants to take no chances)

When exactly is the 90 day mark?

When we make ressies to Palo's are we limited to just one reservation?

If we have any dietery needs how far should I place a request(DS is allergic to eggs)?

I was going to order a fish extender from this DIS but the one making it seems to be going through a tough time so I may just order from EBAY(realistically I will not get around to making my own...unless Jackie wants to come over and work on it with me? I know you haven't made yours yet) Is $35 plus shipping stardand price? Its worth it for me because its one less thing to do. I already started packing the kids suitcases but have a ways to go.

Well, I spent hours trying to catch up and still not caught up I'm sure I missed some here and there. Need to pick DD in a few minutes from preschool...I'm always late picking her up when I'm trying to catch up on the DIS. Still have loads of laundry staring at me and all of that fun stuff. Have a good day everyone.

WELCOME all new DISers!!!!!

I only spent $7 on my fish extender.

cute FE!

Ok, the girls are bathed and in jammies with shoes (footed pj's).....they are snuggled on the couch watching Scooby. Tebow is chompong ice at my feet and we are waiting on Johnny to get home.

I don't have a binder, but I do have an excel worksheet with about 12 tabs!! I keep my "stuff" in a purple plastic type folder which has a few pockets.

I have a purple "vacation" folder too!!!

Ok hubby made it through his hospital stay and is now on his way back to Iraq so now I have time to come back to the boards - wanted to spend as much time with him offline as I could before he left Now I did miss you all but he pays for the cruises! LOL

I was looking at the website and saw that the person who was doing the kids group is now not cruising - do we still need someone for that - I would be glad to do it if so.

Now I am off to hopefully still sign up for the Fish Mail and get some bracelets as I hunt though my mail and things to find the right people to contact and also go back 8 days I think and get caught up on messages - which will take me days
