Thanks, Tracy....I knew someone would rescue us! BTW, how is Sue's daughter doing?

Healthwise, I'm not sure, but she looked great! I can't believe the energy of that child It was great meeting them on the 11 day cruise.

Tracy, Thanks for the update on Sue's daughter. I've been wondering about her. I'm glad they're doing well. Are we the only ones on this board who didn't go on the southern trip?

 

[jeanneg]

We didn't!

I don't have anything to add but I'm glad to see increased activity on our thread . I can't wait until we start talking about excursions. For those of you who were on the recent 11 day cruise, did any of the crew have anything interesting to share about the Mediterranean cruises?

As usual I checked on our ressies today...and noticed that my cruise price was different. I paid it off in June so I know I was locked in.
The new price was only $63.98 ... but heck it was in my favor!
It was better the the orginal price(on line) opening day of $2,009,165.62 I was laughing so hard I had to print it out!

Had a very crowded day at DL today. They've done some really cute and very large decorations all around the park. The Haunted mansion and Woody's halloweentime was great. I'm really going to miss the 50th parade, it is so beautiful. They've also added the princess faire with story time and meet the princesses in the snow white theatre. Long wait, but it looks fun. Hint: arrive at 10:15 because you can get in to see the first 3 princesses and then 3 more 15 minutes later.

Confused!!

But a simple phone call and you should get your rate adjusted!

That is alot of Konk coolers!!

 

[Bareacuda]

I'd rather have the money difference between the 2million and what I did pay!
Talk about the "drinks are on me"!

Wow - we were all the way down on page 3. We can't have that.

We went up to Santa Barbara last Sunday to celebrate Shari's birthday. Took a Segway tour of Santa Barbara. Lots of fun. If you've every done the Segway tour at Epcot, this tour was way better. More like real life riding the Segway through downtown Santa Barbara.

Anyway - if you ever get the chance to ride a Segway, give it a try. Very interesting machine.

Hi everyone,

Just got back from the 10/14 sailing (Cruistoberfest).....NOW I can start to think about planning for this one!

Does anyone know if we will have a pirate night in the Med? I need to know if I should pack away the pirate stuff or keep it handy.

Hey everyone, just wanted to let you know that Christina (SweetSue's DD) had surgery a couple days ago on her spine. She is doing well, but will likely be in the hospital a couple more days. They are hoping to be home by Halloween. If anyone would like contact information or a link to the updates Sue is providing, let me know.

Follow up question?
We are "guaranteed" in a Cat 4 and wait listed for cat1-3. They said we won't get our room assignment until the documents are ready (14 days before the cruise). How do some of you have your room #s already? Our current cruise we got our room # immediatly. We are tentatively booked on the reposition and have a room assignment for that... We find it all ODD. DCL wasn't much help and my Hubby is getting nervous!

Dont Worry Be Happy!!!!

That means all of the Cat 4's are booked right now!
But come the 75 day mark when funds become due!

People will definetely have to decide!
Some wont go and they will get you in your Room in a cat 4 or Better!
Believe me, (In 12 DCL cruises) They know! and are willing to take the Gamble!
To sell the Cat!
I have never Seen a person not Get a "guaranteed" Reservation Yet!
Alot of us have certian Cabins we like and ASK for them when we book!!
