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

[MrsMork]

Way to go!!

We will probably stay at BW Park Place Inn which is directly across Harbor Blvd. from the main gate. We can get a room there that sleeps 6 and maybe have little Aaron and his parents come spend a couple of days with us. Of the DL hotels DLH is our favorite. It does have more of the magic in our opinion. But BW is way less $$$$ and a closer walk to the main gate. If you are using points DLH is the way to go.

I have a lot of planning to do as this is going to be my big 2-6 birthday while on board so i want to make sure it is awesome!

My mom has been to CA before but this will be my first time there!

My birthday is 2 days after going through the PC on a sea day so hopefully we will be able to go to Palo brunch that day!

Angie, I will be on points, as I am not doing a pre-cruise visit to WDW, I must use my alottment of points(75) for the year somehow, lol.

Aaron! Can I bring guests to the pool? I would love to have you all over for a a swim.

My husband will be turning 30 onboard
I mentioned it to him and he said if I still wanted to go on vacation I should never bring up that fact again. He just hates getting older! His birthday is on the 21st, but I haven't looked into when that falls on the cruise. I just know it's towards the end.

I'm sure you can and I know he would LOVE to swim with you again.

Angie I have the best pic of him at castaway, in a tube, all smiles. I will send it.

[MrsMork]

Thanks, we will look forward to it. I just put an album together for him and mailed it Wednesday. It was fun to look at all those photos again.

I love to plan, it drives DH

Please check the first page and PM me with any missing, wrong, or otherwise messed up information. I am going to start working on a cruise data base so that I can keep better track of who is on the cruise, drops out, etc...
Welcome Aboard!!

 

[tiggersister2]

Hi -- Well, I was supposed to cruise this April on the Western Caribbean with DH but once I saw this cruise come up we decided to change it. I've always wanted to see the Panama Canal. I couldn't believe it when I saw all these posts already -- it must have been quite a group on this cruise last time. Well we are just us - a middle aged couple and we will be celebrating our tenth anniversary next year so this will be great. I'm like everyone else - I hope my TA gets me in and that the expense won't be too painful .

 

[LisaG520]

Count us in too! Just DH and I.

This will be our fourth cruise and can't wait. Our last was the double-dip in Oct 06.

We will be celebrating our 17th anniversary and my birthday on-board.



Sandy - I grew up just outside of Phila - in Langhorne.

 

[MrsMork]

Welcome, welcome ladies! Looks like there may be a few of us "just DH and I couples" on this one.

I am having such a struggle determining how to handle the booking. I have a 12/07 reservation that I booked onboard....I guess I can can transfer to DU and let them handle the booking or I can call and try myself. I don't want to shell out an extra $2k for the deposit, oh what to do. I guess I am just very interested in the prices. I am trying for a cat 10...... but if the prices are not as outrageous, I may go for something different.

 

[ibouncetoo]

I'll be trying for a Cat 11 (deck 7 aft) and calling in myself as I have an April '08 booking to transfer over (booked that while on the Nov 06 double-dip). I've got myself covered at work for late arrival in case I'm on the phone for hours!

Just found out my sister and brother-in-law are now considering this cruise too for their 10th anniversary! I'll get to hang out on their verandah if I get cabin fever.

I'll give you the details for the page one info as soon as I'm officially booked!

 

[mishoe01]

ok - this maybe a stupid ?, but why are we being called the "ship of thieves"? Is there a story behind this?

We are STEALING the Magic (from Florida)...for our own dasterdly, piratical purposes! arrrrrg!

 

[Piecey]

Hey.. anyone remember or know a place to go look at the type of excursions they offered last year?

 

[pjpoohbear]

I checked out both RCCL and NCL for excursions offered in the same ports, it worked for Costa Maya, last year. Disney offered several of the same excursions.
