Mexican Riviera on the Wonder 3/25/2012

[PaigerPoo]

After seeing your post, and the subsequent one about vacationstogo, I was curious because the price you listed for four is significantly less than what I paid for two (and I purchased the cheapest option available 5 months ago). So I called vacationstogo and sure enough, I overpaid by $500! I'm trying really hard to let it go because there's nothing I can do about it now that we're paid in full, but I won't ever go through that other TA again!

Oops sorry bout that!! I didn't mean to freak ya out...keep in mind that we booked this on board in 2009 and got the discount by doing so
It's really worth taking advantage of it...even if you do have to postpone like we did. Castaway Membership has its advantages, and after this, your part of the club!

Funny my older son decide he wanted to go now and bring a friend. Today a 11C opened and I got that one for them. Thank god so it didnt cost us a fortune! Now, I just need to make them a FE and we will be good to go. I started buying the kids stuff and will work on the adult ones next.

Anyone coming in the night before?

We are flying in on Saturday morning (the weather in Colorado is iffy at best in March and I want all the cushion I can get). We have no cushion on getting home because school starts back up the next day, but it won't break my heart to be stuck in SoCal . We are staying on the Queen Mary that night and plan to tour around Long Beach (probably the Aquarium) that day. Very excited!

I wonder if that was the one we gave up? Hey, how old is your DS? Curious as my oldest is 17 & wondering who he's gonna end up hangin with.
We're driving down from Oregon on Friday. Be there with plenty of time to visit with family and friends...and maybe Mickey!!

Tweet, I think our two are chatting on Facebook now. It looks like there are a few more teens in the FE group. I am sure there will be a great group of teen hooligans in no time

It really is a lot of fun getting the FE gifts ready! I am having a blast - getting a little carried away

Gaige mentioned the other night that they're FB'ing now. He's gettin so stoked! (like I'm soooo unexcited.....riiight?!).

I'm leaving in 7 days for my Carnival Splendor Mexican riv Scrapbooking Cruise. Kind of a prior commitment Considering it a warm up for the real thing with YOU GUYS!!!

While I would love to cruise with "Elizabeth Taylor" (maybe not at age 13) I'm cruising with Elizabeth - who I call Liz

A simple cut and paste boo boo to correct

Thanks Nan(ette)

And we are driving down on Saturday - flights are too $$$ right now and staying close to port - does anyone recall free parking for the week at any hotel?

 

[nskjerven]

One more question - when will we cap the FE list? I'm shopping when we have a fixed # - thanks

 

[Dodieauglis]

Can you add us to the FE? There are 3 of us cruising. Myself, Eric, wife Dodie, son Jason. We are in room 7618.

Thanks

Eric

Hotel Current & hotel Maya have stay & cruise rates
Www.hotelcurrent.com & www.hotelmayalongbeach.com
Hope that helps!

And we were wondering about the cut off for FE's too? I think we're gonna be spending a whole lotta time delivering if we don't cut it off soon

 

[Kraasch]

I think Tweet said Feb 25 is the cut off date. We could always split into 2 if it gets too big. The more the merrier

Here is the current list. We are at 20 staterooms so far. We had set a cutoff date for February 25. I can start a 2nd group since we have 20 already. Its not a problem at all. I will keep the 2nd group open until 2/25. This happens alot that people want to join and dont find the site until it gets closer to cruise time. Those who want to do more rooms are welcome to join in the 2nd group if you like. PLEASE tell me your thoughts.

My oldest (who took your old stateroom ) 20. I'm sure there will be alot of kids on this cruise being spring break time.

That would be great if they got to know each other before the cruise. I will ask my son tonight. Last cruise there was a big group that would not ever want to come back at night to sleep. Its nice having the phones now so you can keep in touch with them.

Hi Tweet, I actually meant Paiger. Her son and my daughter have been messaging. Thanks for doing the FEs. I like your idea of starting a second group...then it's not overwhelming.
