[EllaEnchanted]

Hey to all.. I just booked this cruise yesterday.. so I am just stopping over to say hello to everyone...

Welcome Bonnielynn....we're a fun and friendly bunch....glad you're joining us!!!!

 

[lillygator]

we are meeting at Boma, 4:30 I believe. Then Epcot has extra magic hours tonight.

 

[EllaEnchanted]

here's the bag.
I also got anchor earrings and a necklace but they look a little juvenile.

V....I love this bag....it's perfect for excursions too! Can you give me a link to the place where you bought it?

Have a great time with all the Geeks at WDW!!!!!

I got it off Ebay....

I'm so disappointed right now because my boss will not guarantee that I can have the two weeks off for the cruise I told him I need to know by Feb 10th, but the wait will kill me I think. Now, I also don't know what to do about booking flights etc! So bummed.

Haley was a bit upset that we weren't going straight to see Sophie.

oh no!!!

Hence my question, is it too much to do in one day?

We are staying at Hyatt MCO to take the Hummerzine to port with our Diser friends

If you are coming in on Friday I would not do both. Thursday may be a different story, but I would rather just do one and be relaxed for Sat.

That's a bummer he won't let you know now.

Not everyone has booked their flights yet so you aren't behind on the planning. (I just booked our hotel for the night before the cruise 2 days ago.) We won't book our airfare until a week or 2 before final payment - since we need to get insurance before we make our final payment.

We are thinking of going to the Space Center on Friday. But it will depend on what time we get in. We are staying at the Radission Friday night. There are a bunch of us at the port going to Grill's for dinner on Friday night - I hope I got the restaurant name right.

 

[EllaEnchanted]

is most everyone planning on the pool upon boarding? Well, after lunch, John would never miss the buffet!

YES!!! We will be going straight to the pool and get my BBC!!!! I can't wait! It's my favorite thing to do on the boat and I'll start with that first. We usually get food at the table by the pool....chicken fingers are the best! I love jumping into the pool when I'm the only one in it!

You mean that for May08?

If so, we will be arriving on Thursday 8th May and stay at Raddison for two nights. Two men and my son will got to Space Center on Friday. But me and Alison, my daughter stay at the hotel - relax day. Don't know about Grill's for dinner as it sound good. Maybe we join in to get know together before going on the Cruise.

I think we may actually get to go on this cruise. We were going to cancel (oops, forgot to call) and went on the Halloween cruise instead. DH kept saying he could handle 2 weeks but didn't think he had the vacation time. This morning he said he added up all his carryover and days for next year and we were going to Panama! Then he asked if this was the reservation with a verandah (nope)...

We're baaaaack.....

Hi,
My DH and I just returned today from the 4 night Wonder, and while on board we booked the Westbound Panama cruise. They said the had just had a block of rooms open up. We are booked for main dining, Cat 5 room, and I think we got a special rate for booking while already on a cruise. I am new to this board, but found the Wonder board so helpful. Since I am late getting here, I don't know if I will get through all 1000+ pages. , but am wondering if there is any place to get a lot of the info anyhow. We are so excited about going thru the canal. I will appreciate any info anyone has. We have only been on the Wonder just now, and a Carnival cruise about 20 years ago. We are older..my DH is a young 60, and I am a sometimes young 52year old. Thanks.....Vicki

Hi Vicki....glad you're joining us....check page one for info and just jump in now....don't worry about the previous pages.

Oh dear, sound like similar problem which I had few months ago.

I was nervous because we did booking the flight before I wrote to my boss. I know it was wrong but as it is a long flight as the prices went up, up.

My boss never answer me and I was so scared to ask her if turn out she said NO. I was calm and upset too. I got it okay by last month and I had to get up early morning and went to the queue as first come and first serve. I was 3rd in queue and I knew myself it will be okay. YES, I got it.

Maybe you should write a nice letter and explain to your boss that you are going away to special cruise to see panama canal something like that.

I am sure it will be okay, I send you and hope everything go well.

Where are you come from? Amercia?

WELCOME!!!



All I know is that the first thing we're doing is EATING! I can't wait to start munching on cruise food.



Welcome!!!


It looks like maybe a large group cancelled since we had so many rooms open up and so many newcomers joining.

DH and I are getting decent news about his job situation, so we shouldn't have to cancel this cruise after all.

Ginamarie....that is such GREAT news! I'm so happy everything is working out for you! You would have been very missed!

 

[lillygator]

of course when I am trying to leave early...all kinds of things crop up!

V-up to what time do you guys think you'll be at Boma's? I think I'll swing by after work if you may be there.

Drive safely!

BTW - I'm doing Candlelight Sunday night in case you guys are around.
