I think 30mins - 1hour for the tour. Not too sure...

I was looking around at other websites for info about Cozumel and Grand Cayman. This site has some pretty good forum information about where all we are going.

I love cruise critic. Lots of good info.

Oh, good news!! I found our passports! They were at the bank. The reason I didn't remember taking them there is because Justin did it--not me! At least they are now at home where I KNOW where they're at. Whew!

Has anyone gotten a credit from DCL for possibly the fuel surcharge? I saw a credit on my credit card when I was looking for my DCL insurance refund, but there was also an extra $200+ for some reason. When I booked in Dec 2007, they hadn't started the fuel surcharge yet, so I wasn't charged for it initially, but I wonder why they would give the credit...unless it's for something else.

Amanda--great invitations/websites!

Crystal and Kym--GREAT family pics!!!

Val -- did you get in touch with your uncle?

Not yet, but I will! I'm anxious to find out for sure, too. I never think of it to call him in the evenings, and I assume he's at work during the day when I do think of it.

How do I send one to Val to post on page 1? Thanks ! ~ Kathy

If you get a photobucket acct set up using the link posted before, you can either PM it to me or post it regularly, and I'll just copy & paste to #1&2. Let me know if you need more help!


Indigo--we obviously all completely understand your anonimity now. I know we would all do the same to keep our families safe.

I have a question for everyone, for all those people that have signed up as being on the cruise but haven't checked in lately, should we PM them to let them know about the FE and bracelete deadlines?

I had been thinking the exact same thing!! I hope they have at least been lurking. Maybe a quick reminder will get them back into the group.

Mati - will you be linking everyone's dinning reservations or only the early dinning group? Do you need us to send our confirmation numbers? BTW - we are childless but don't mind kids.

I just went back to my old cruise thread because I remembered the timeframe being mentioned, and a VERY seasoned cruiser said they do seating arrangements 4-6 weeks ahead, so we might be pushing it with April 1st. Mati, if you're going to do the linking, I'll PM you my reservation #'s ASAP so they're ready to go at cutoff time.

I remember Val mentioning changing the size in photobucket but I'm not finding that! THanks!

If you click "edit" above the picture you want to resize, it'll take you to an area where you can pick a preset size or make it your own size. For most post pics, I usually choose "Large" and click apply. HTH! BTW, your girls are so pretty!

Better start Idol voting so I don't run out of time!

They were pretty firm . . . not stale-firm . . . firm on the outside so you can get a good bite, then nice and squishy in the middle!

Cool! They are added to my list of MUST trys!

Thanks for the link - I'm going to check it out!

FANTASTIC NEWS - Now we all can stop worrying. A tip that I heard was to make a color copy of your passport and keep take it with you on the trip (but don't store it with your passport) if you should lose your original one, it will make it much easier to get a replacement.

We haven't gotten a credit back (and we did pay the fuel surcharge) I thought I heard that it would be a shipboard credit.

I had been thinking the exact same thing!! I hope they have at least been lurking. Maybe a quick reminder will get them back into the group.

I've just sent an email to everyone that hadn't signed up for the FE group (or those that have signed up for it, but we haven't heard from in a long time). Hopefully they don't feel I've pressured them (if you are lurking - I really only don't want anyone to be left out because we didn't invite you to join) really no pressure at all. I'll forward any responses about the bands to Amanda.

Now, I'm GOT to watch my recording of AI...I hope it was a good show tonight.

Morning all!

Is there somewhere to buy toiletries on board . . . I'm worried that I may run out of conditioner before the end of the trip!!

Hi All!!
I am AUSTIN77's dad, just browsing and thought I would answer the above question, if it is alright...
Just ask your stateroom host for more. In your stateroom there will be a small tube of shampoo, conditioner and body butter. My wife, Ashley and my daughter love the stuff. Just ask your stateroom host for a new set every couple of days.......Austin77's sister must have flirted with the stateroom host as she left the ship with about 6 tubes of each.........LOL!
Plus up at the shops they have limited toiletries.

Hi Everyone! Have to run into the office this morning so just taking a quick moment to say Good Morning AND to ask everyone who is linking dinner reservations to PM me their DCL reservation number.

Jane -- I will call you and Andy in (the only 2 I have linked in late dining right now) if they let me.

I will call tonight if possible, tomorrow if I don't have enough numbers from everyone.

Have a good day!
Mati

Hi Everyone...

I am so excited that the cruise is getting closer... I actually started packing yesterday. I read somewhere that it is easier to put your kids individual outfits in big Ziploc bags.. that way everything is together.. I labeled them dinner clothes, Key West clothes, kids club clothes etc... I think it is going to work out well. My daughter has to have her matching headbands and earrings so I can put them all together and not worry..

Crystal and Kim - I LOVE LOVE LOVE your Family pics.... so cute!!

TazGirl and Val- you are both in my prayers.... Val I hope your procedure goes well ..

I am always reading posts but you guys are wayyy to fast for me... I can hardly keep up...

OH... my screen name is DevinDemi2 - My son's name is Devin and my daughter's name is Demi and I have 2 kids... ha

Also my SIL and I are all done with our FE gifts... I got a few extra just in case more people join...

Have a good day...

Ditto on the stuff provided!! I'm VERY picky about what I use on my hair, but I took a chance and decided to leave mine at home and use the H20+ and LOVED it! I figured if I didn't like it, I could get my regular stuff in KW on Sunday. Didn't need to...other than my mousse can leaked during the flight (all over my clothes!!!), so I had to go buy more. (Yes, I thought I had it protected well enough in a Ziploc bag, but of course, it was the one bag that got a hole in it from a sharp corner on my body wash.)

Glad you're lurking here, but really..."nokidz?" Isn't that like my comment the other day about my parents being childless?

 

[DevinDemi2]

Hi Crystal... thanks for the PM.. I can not PM you until I have 10 post... I am going to try to get there now... sorry everyone but i have got to get to 10 post... this is driving me crazy!

 

[DevinDemi2]

I am so ready for the CRUISE!!!!

Woo hoo!! Val is comin' cruising!!!!!

Nope, haven't had a credit . . . but can't complain, my travel agent has refunded me the money for our two 21 day Disney ultimate tickets - thats about $700 total (well it was a year ago, I dont understand the exchange rate these days!!!!!!!!!!) - yet is still showing us as going to get the tickets!! I am holding my breath waiting for them to send the tickets out before they notice their error!! And I have been honest - I pointed the error out to them TWICE but they are insisting there was an offer on when I booked. There Soooooooo wasn't!!!!

Hello Austins dad!!! Thank you for your answer! I did not know we got either conditioner OR body butter - I am very impressed!!!

We are!!!!!
I think there's quite a few of us staying at the Radisson the night before the cruise!

Hey DADDY-O!!! His name is "NOKIDS" because he doesn't want any of us!!!

 

[texfinn]

Ok, got reservation numbers from Val and Tiffany. Still missing numbers from Sara, Kym & Crystal. Let me know if you still want to link dinner reservation numbers so I can call them in.

On another note -- remind me to NEVER order swimsuits from Disney.com. Got them today -- black one was HUGE! Not even close in size -- not even something that could be adjusted with those cover up pants. The red one fit but talk about racy! Either the neckline plunges down down down down or the legs are high high high! Both are going back. I hope they don't give me a hassle. I am going to return them to the store.

Still working on a project for work so this is short -- hopefully will get done and can enjoy reading later!!!!
