May Med Magic - May 15 2010 - Meet thread

[pixiedust519]

Hmmm...I was just going by what ICollectBelle wrote initially back in post #12



When I look up those room numbers I get 5020, 5022 - Cat 10; 5518 - Cat. 8. Regardless, congratulations.

Those are our old rooms that we originally booked with secret portholes! We changed those awhile ago to Cat 7 instead. Yay for being on Deck 5!!!

 

[Jeff Spencer]

Ahhh...OK, that explains it.

 

[Jeff Spencer]

If there is still room, my husband and I would love to join in on the Palo Brunch.

Hi Jubes,

You need to send me your, DH first and last names and your reservation number. My email is jlspence@hiwaay.net.

 

[jedijill]

No assignment here yet either. I know they are keeping one of those Cat 12's just for me.

Ok I'm kinda sick, I keep refreshing the disney cruise window every 5-10 minutes to see if I have a room yet. I wonder if they assign them alphabetically...

For those who want to play that game my last name starts with an H.

 

[Prinny27]

Nothing here yet, either. And I'm a 'C'!!!

 

[sayhello]

Nothing here yet, either, and I'm a "G".

The thing is, I know they have to move all the folks out of the 9's & 8's before they can move us into them but it's still hard to wait!

Sayhello

I wonder if you wouldn't have to log out and log back in to see a status change...that's what I had to do back when I was making Palo dining reservations when our "window" opened.

Hmm! That may be true. However, I logged out, waited a bit, logged back in. Still no assignment.

Sayhello

Is the Palo brunch the meet and greet on May 16th or it another day? Sorry, trying to catch-up

 

[moneyhappy]

We would like to join the FE list. I can get an FE in time for the cruise

The following was posted on another Med cruise thread. No mention is made of the exchange rate but I found back in 2007 that DCL definitely put a premium on top of the going rate for US dollar to Euro exchange. I don't recall how much higher though.

Bank of America has an OK exchange rate and you can have the money delivered to a local branch or your house. You can also get travelers checks in euros as well. It went upa little today.

www6.bankofamerica.com/foreigncurrency/index.action

AAA is not a good place for exchange rates (call TipPacks)

I know for Visa credit card has a 3% currency exchange fee, but a good exchange rate. The calculator has exchange rate plus fees

usa.visa.com/personal/using_visa/consumer_ex_rates_us.jsp

My debit card with visa only has a 1% currency exchange rate fee. (might want to ask your local bank what they charge)

Out of all the options listed above the debit card gives the best fee and exchange rate.

Palo has brunch on each of the 3 Sea Days. I'm not 100% sure, but I think Palo only has one seating for brunch and it's at 10-10:30 am. That would mean each of the three groups for which I'm submitting the request, if granted by DCL, would dine on 3 separate days.

This is all separate from other Meet n Greet activities. Clear?
