Ok, I think I finally have it:


Going on the Carnival Sensation makes me want to:

The end.

Very good, just don't do it again and welcome to the Party.

Connie--I see that your fish extender is 8 inches wide. I found an over the door organizer today at the Dollar Store that is 9 1/2 inches wide. Do you think you had enough extra space on the wall area the fish was on that the extra 1 1/2 inches would not hang over? I'm thinking then the kids could just decorate the plastic pockets with Disney stickers and one more thing can be checked off the list.

Working on door signs and other list items tonight. A spring snow and ice storm has caused all the evening activites (and Wednesday is our BUSY day and night) to be cancelled. David is traveling so we are holing up, having an easy supper (popcorn, peanut butter and apples!) and getting ready for the cruise. Hmmmm--maybe this snow thing is not so bad after all

I do know what you mean! I think we will probably sail with them again, but only because they are cheap. The condition of the ship we sailed on and the lack of dinning choices was very bothersome! We did a 4-night Ensenada cruise this past November.

I have two good things to say about them: 1) They are cheap, and 2) Their kids clubs start at age 2 IN DIAPERS. They change diapers. That just blew me away. The people they had working for them in the kids club were great, but the clubs themselves, I felt, had some issues.

I'm soooooooo happy to be sailing with Disney again!

Guys if you booked your cruise over the last weekend check the price you paid as I have just had to get my Mum back on the phone to Disney as they had over charged me by 400%

They have refunded the money but it will take a few days so I just pray now that I havent gone over my credit limit or been charged any interest on it.

I'm just glad that we eventually noticed!

I feel your pain Hadley, they are now calling for snow tomorrow night and this weekend. I was going to change out my winter tires tomorrow, think I might just wait until next week now. Is it ever going to end!!

After the week I just had, and it isn't over yet, I am so ready for this cruise. The only plus side to the whole thing is that I pick up my new 8" Jointer today from the store Happy camper now......hehe

Cheers!!

Just got off the phone with a supervisor at DCL (so take this with a grain of salt) and was told that the POC3 would be offically shown on the 25th. She then said that DCL may have a surprise for us pertaining to this. I sure hope that means it will be shown earlier. Otherwise we are going to have alot of sleepy people doing excursions.

I'm not seeing this anywhere on the DCL website. He said you can prepay for your wine and get a bottle each evening with your meal for less than if you just order it each night. Anyone done this? When and where do you sign up for this?

You sign up for this once you get on the ship. You won't be able to miss it. They have tables set up that you have to pass by on the way to lunch. It's not a bad deal, but you don't save a whole lot on the wine. I don't know how they will work it for the 14 day. For the 7 day it was $179 for 7 nights which works out to $25 a bottle. Plus you have to pay the 15% gratuity on top of that.

It's pretty easy to use though. If you don't drink the whole bottle they will cork it for you for the next night or you can take the remainder back to your room. I think you can use it in other places besides dinner. I know my server at lunch asked once if I wanted to use it (he was the same server as I had at dinner so he knew I had the package).

The castawayclub site has more info on this. Go to their menus page and you will see a link to both the wine package and the wine list.

You sign up with your servers the first night at dinner. No worries the yweill explain it then

We did this a couple of years ago when we had a table for 12 with four wine drinkers (I only sip and David can't finish almost all of a bottle himself alone every night!). We may do it again this trip as my in-laws enjoy a glass with dinner. On the seven night the cost is $179 for the standard package or $275 for the premium package (I assume this will simply double for the 14 night repo). There are several wines to choose from in each package and you select a different bottle each night. You can get your bottle in Palos when you are there, and you can take unfinished wine back to your stateroom (you can also take two unopened bottles off the ship if need be, but I would hate to try to get those home in tact from Europe!

Oh, sure, there's enough room for your fish extender! I'm glad you found one! Where do you live again that you are having snow in April?

I got my suitcase out and Chuck brought the plastic table in the bedroom, and I tried on all my "good" clothes to see if they still fit! So I guess I'm ready to pack!
