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

[GatorFamily]

American Idol is on tonight....!

Gameplan - is the Rock in that?

Yes, he is. He's a football player that finds out he has a DD and its about his transition from manly bachelor to dad of a little girl...looks funny ...I think my DK will get a kick out of it....I believe its a disney movie. I'll let you know how it is or at least if my kids liked it. I asked my DK if they wanted to see Alvin and the Chipmunks or the Water Horse yesterday and they said..no thanks. They just like staying home and not leave the house....wonder where they got that from as I type still in my pj's

Has someone on this thread already started the process for lanyards?

I think the person that was going to do that is no longer on the cruise...I don't know if anyone has taken over yet

I don't think so. I think the person who was going to take care of it canceled. At this point I'm confused as to who's doing what on the lanyards...I do know the ones you posted looked fabulous (HS Musical suddenly comes to mind ) and I would gladly purchase 4 for my family! Does anyone know what's going on with the lanyards?

My boss just got back from a week in Orlando and gave me this tip on luggage weight limits. He said print your boarding pass at home,(if you are able) and then when you get to the airport check your bags with the skycap. Don't go to the check in counter if you don't have to. He said it's like $3 buck per bag to do this and they don't weight you luggage. When they got home one of theirs had a sticker that said "heavy" and that the weight was 70lb. But they did not have to pay extra for being over the limit. If you do this flying home (which we are not) try to do the check in at a Kiosk instead of the counter if possible.

Oooooh! ME LIKEY!!!!! Thanks a ton for the tip!

Let's keep an ear out today to see if anyone claims the lanyard job, if not I'd be happy to do it, since PJ has already done the badge design.

Color me confused on this as well. We'd love to order - just don't know details...anyone?

We had somebody organising lanyards and just about everyone ordered, but she has recently cancelled. I think there are a couple of you showing what you have had on other cruises, plus Pj has done graphics for the pockets, but we aren't sure actually whether you or the cruiser who posted a picture of the green lanyards has actually offered.

Julie - it's soooo good to see you back! Now we need to hear from Noel!

Mary - glad you had a good time in Colorado.

I like what everyone has said about the skycaps....will have to remember that.

I don't have much of a clue at all as to what I'm going to take. I have something for Tropical night (if I lose a bit more weight); some thing for Formal night (1 if I don't lose much, 1 if I do lose more), bathing suits, 2 cameras, and shorts (but not sure how many). I'll deal with that as we get closer and hopefully thinner

it's so hard to know what to pack...lots of swim suits, capris, tank tops, flip flops, pirate costumes...yikes!

Does everyone change for dinner? I usually wear what I have had on during the day.

we pretty much always change for dinner.....during the day it's usually bathing suits and coverups!

Got your information on the badge holders and lanyards and have checked out both WEB sites.

To the best my knowledge NO ONE has taken on this project yet. I was looking for information on the badge holders just so I knew what size to make the name tags sense it sounds like we will be printing our own tags.

Usually one person takes this project on as you get better prices that way and then people either pay the person or a group of people go together and split the cost as their gift.

I forgot about the pirate costume!!! I'll need to order that probably the beginning/middle of March!

 

[MrsMork]

well, when you meet everybody IRL, if in doubt just call them Lisa chances are you'll be right

 

[fourmcds]

Me either...light, what is light? A word I don't know. DH just looks at me and shakes his head

I always overpack! Scott packs himself and then I pack myself and the girls. he can't understand why the 3 women in his life need 3x as many clothes as he does for the same trip. Will he never learn, it's the shoes!

 

[lillygator]

my DCL package says delivered!!

 

[LiserAnn]

We usually change because after I shower I don't like to put on clothes I've worn before. And we usuallys shower before dinner because we've been at the pool or doing something that requires a shower.

I have more bad news for everyone.....not going to be able to do any high teas as a group. I faxed the lists to DCL and they called me today. It seems that tea time is only at 3pm and it's a small set up of tables of four. There is no private dining room for tea. So if we want to do it, we have to book it along with other palo ressies and only up to 4 people each.

Do we want to give up on the whole idea of doing it together? and just book for ourselves? or do we want to get say 10 people to book for tables of four all on the same day? This is what DCL said we should do.

Let me know what everyone thinks.

Let me complicate this for you. You can only book for Palo the adults on your ressie, or ressies that are linked to yours. So, to book for 4 ladies, you would need to link your ressies, which certainly can be done. BUT, and here is the complication....linked ressies get assigned dinner together so you would need to make sure that the 4 linked have the same early/late rotation AND want to share the evening meals together. Some folks prefer to sit with just their family. So, I am not involved in the tea thing but just wanted to share some of my experiences.

Kaylee did you get yours yet? People have been getting different posters, etc...but most of the contents are the same.
