May 27th 2007 Wonder Cruise. Anyone else on it?

[wareagle]

We are also at the Raddison the night before.

It is off the beaten path but for us tried and true twice before, we are at the Hampton Inn in Titusville, at Exit 215 of I-95 (we're driving). Exit 220 is the Beeline, 528, to the Port. Exit 215 is Dixie Crossroads for dinner the night before, a tradition for us when cruising from Port Canaveral (we recommend the crab legs over their shrimp, but that's our personal taste).

Just added to my notes to meet @ 3 on embark day.

I feel so disorganized! Today I filled out the online forms. We are now going to the GF for three nights after the cruise and I'm now trying to plan that part.

I really think after I get down the basics, we'll just go with the flow most of this trip.

GASP! What forms???

Go to your cruise info online and you'll see the online check in forms you need to fill out. Better to do online than have to do when you arrive.

And we should be doing these now? Its not too early?
Its starting to get sooooo close!!

Its 3:30 am....did you all book your excursions????

I booked hubby and the kids for the stingray excursion at CC. Since parasailing still isn't available, I booked hubby and dd for the jet ski tour. However, I'll cancel that if parasailing comes available. I was able to get brunch at Palo, but only at 11:30.

That is great you got brunch. When I checked yesterday it showed it as full. They must only set aside a certain number of spots for return cruisers.

I wasn't going to even try because I saw posts at the 90 day out that it was full. Try again today...perhaps they just save some to open at different intervals? Unless there were already cancellations...

 

[TigerLaw]

Yeah, I couldn't get it either. The funny thing is that when I explained to my wife that meant we would have to be early to the boat, she was thinking I meant there would be an "amazing race" style running of the bulls for the remaining ressies!

I did get my palo's dinner ressie for exactly when I wanted - 8pm nassau day (lens, thanks for the help!). now I need to tell my TA to request the PC-twice rotation so we only have to lose the first PC sitting.

 

[lenshanem]

I got the 10:00 brunch 90 days out. I meant it was full after I booked. I actually got it at 3 in the morning, by the time I got back on around 7:30 AM the brunch times were gone. Makes sense they would save some openings for 90 days out.

 

[Nik's Mom]

Well, if it weren't for a Six Feet Under Marathon on Bravo channel, I would have never been able to stay up until Midnight to book! We decided to go for Palo bruch, so at midnight (I'm on the west coast), I jumped on on-line. They only had 11:00 and 11:30am Palo brunch so I chose the 11am. 10:30 would have been better. I guess I'll eat a light snack in the morning so I'm not starving by 11am.

I also booked the 10am stingray excursion. The trip seems more real now that we can actually start booking things!

 

[wehavesix]

I booked my spa treatments and some things on CC. My sister took care of Palo for our entire party back at the 90 day point. I know we are doing dinner at 7:00 after Nassau but I don't know for sure if she even booked us for brunch. She mentioned it but never told me when or if she got ressies for it. I need to call her and find out. DH is checking out the Nassau excursions as we speak so I still may be booking for that tonight. He also mentioned a couple of package deals on CC that he may want to do. He's doing the jet ski excursion with our 13 yo and I'm going to snorkle with all 4 kids. This is all just too much excitement for this old pre-k teacher!

 

[Nik's Mom]

I've been booking things all day today for our party of 12. I'm so tired. I did add Exotic Rasul to our spa list for DH and I!

You deserve it! What else did you book? I was on right at 3 am; I booked the stingray first, then Palo...only the 11:30 was showing then. I booked the double jet ski tour but am hoping the parasailing comes back.

 

[Nik's Mom]

I had to stay up until midnight to book Palo brunch for me and dh. I had such a hard time staying awake, but I'm so glad that I did. When I got up at 6am, all of the brunch times were gone. We have the 11am brunch. Later in the morning, I booked the stingray excursion for everyone in my party, exotic rasul for dh and I , and castayway cay cabana massage for my Mom.
I may book more stuff in a while.

 

[Nik's Mom]

Wow! If you haven't booked your excursions, you better get on it! Some times are gone already! I booked our stingray excursion for 10am yesterday, then tried to reserve the same for the rest of the party. That time was sold out. So I chose 9am for them. When I tried to move ours to 9am, the 9am was already sold out! I'm glad we didn't cancel our 10am!
What are our chances of having people cancel on that 9am time?

Here's another question. I tried to reserve floats for us, but it would not let me select my name on the list. So I only reserved for dh, and our sons. I wonder why I couldn't click on my name?

I just checked and its still giving me the 9 am slot..but the 10 is definately gone? It'll only let me book for myself, because I'm not already booked on this. Is it possible that its blocking you out because you already have a reservation? Is there a way to call?

My name was blacked out after booking Palo dinner and Brunch under my name. I called the help number listed on the website and they said that there was a problem with the program only allowing each person to book 2 things under their name. She told me to go ahead and book under someone else in my family's name and then call back and ask for a supervisor. They are able to change the name for you. Later that day after I had done all that, I checked and saw that my name was listed on the excursion I was trying to book for myself and not my daughter's that I had originally booked. I'm going on the Ardastra Garden Tour with my mom and aunt. My two teenagers say that they will be staying on the ship in the teen's club and my husband will be doing the scuba diving excursion.
