North To Alaska--May 3, 2011 on the Disney Wonder

[mishoe01]

We will have a blast....and since this will be my third time around, it should be a charm!!!:

Thanks Deb!!

We'll post the list on our door, we already have a cabin assignment.

I would suggest only posting on one door so folks only have to go to one location to leave or receive updates.

We'll just need as final a list as possible before we leave for the Repo. We can always try to update at sea before Alaska but you all know how speedy internet access is on the ship, NOT!

Bob

THANK YOU!!! I hearby name you wrabitdad as the official FE List posting location! May you now be afforded all the honors and benefits associated with your new title.

I may have missed this topic, as I am not on this thread as much as the REPO cruise. On previous cruises, DISers have typically met in the Promenade Lounge (starting @ 2:00 or 2:30 till @ 3:30PM). This allows for an informal mixer (yes, the bar is usually open), and a single place to pick up lanyards, name tags, and one central location to pick up / look up stateroom updates / changes ... all while meeting allusive DISers you may not have met in an airport, terminal, hotel, or on the bus.

The time can change, as can the location ... but time and location noted are fairly common (allows people to get lunch, drop carry on luggage in their own stateroom, head to the Lounge ... meet ... mingle ... and disperse prior to the 4:00 satefy drill). Meeting at one central location at the immediate beginning of the cruise will save HUNDREDS of guests from barraging the stateroom door of the FE list organizer.

Once the 4:00 Safety Drill has been completed, it would make sense to post the updated list on a noted stateroom door, for those who may not have been able to make it to the Promenade Lounge.

Remember that the Wonder is still a large ship, with staterooms covering 8 or 9 decks ... foreward, and aft. Guests with mobility issues will appreciate not having to potentially traverse 964 feet to get from their stateroom ... to a single bulletin board / notice on a stateroom door ... if they have a chance to meet n greet, mix n mingle ... at a central location. If we *do* meet ... I think the time and location should be deferred to / scheduled by those heading up the FE's / Lanyards / Name Tags (their convenience).

I am more than willing to meet up with the lanyard providers to take cabin changes and such to update the FE List. I will then post the list on wrabitdad's cabin door.

Where should we meet and when? I hear desk 10 mentioned as a possible lanyard distribution location. Is there where you guys will be? No sense in making people go to more than one location.

Check with KPROS - Ken - he is doing lanyards, I will be following him with my little thing....I rechecked his email to me he goes to deck 10 Starboard at 3pm - he stays about 30 minutes (so he says - I have seen him there at 4pm just before the drill.

I am not sure if they are doing it this way on the Wonder - but we didn't have to get our lifevests for the safety drill on the Dream...one can hope!

We didn't have to have life jackets on the Wonder in Jan. for the PC crossing. That was a pleasant surprise! Must be a new industry standard.

I sure hope so, they did not go with my cruise wear.. Also, some people just had problems navigating with them on.

As far as I know Ken P (who usually does the lanyards) sets himself up on deck 10 usually starboard side...but I could be wrong.

Bob (WrabbitDad) has offered his door for the list - so that helps a lot! I will be hanging with Ken for other reasons...you will all find out at that time (a little suprise from me!)

I understand about the door ... but was trying to see if the list could be made available at the same time / location as lanyards (saves time for everyone, and is likely easier for everyone). So, it sounds like I did not miss everything ... and that specific details (ie: time) will eventually be posted?

 

[HebeJebe]

I've already said that I would meet up with the lanyard distributors to take list changes and that I just need to know when and where.

Were you looking for some other type of meet?

 

[grumpy-gramps]

Just did an update to the ROSTER.


Hopefully I have gotten all the additions, deletions and errors taken care of.

Hi,
I know I'm a big pain in the tuskahulas but they changed our cabin to 7631, please make the correction on the list, who knows, I might win a prize . that change is for both the repo and Alaska cruise (just wanted to be sure)
thank you,
gg

I will gladly have a copy of the list - but it will be from April 13th I am leaving then...and most likely will not have the ability to print anything out while onboard (I might be able to dump a more recent copy on a flash drive and ask them to print it while I am on board...but will have to convert it to a pdf I am sure...) I am on a B2B2B...this is the last cruise of the series.

Since I can't promise - maybe someone who is joining the ship in Vancouver could print it and leave it with me? I will gladly make it available for reading!

I suggest everyone print a copy - I can make changes to my copy as they are posted (I will be using internet while in ports - but most likely not on board - too slow - too expensive).

Nope ... I think our message posts crossed. I saw your reply (#1683) ... which makes perfect sense. My later post (#1688) was a response to an earlier post (prior to #1683), just clarifying that it makes sense for everyone to meet at or about the same time and place.

For the meet...can we have a bad weather alternate? (Promonade Lounge for example?)

...although there will be NO BAD WEATHER....





(I'm a fan of meets in PL because there are comfy chairs and a fully stocked bar)

I don't pick the meet place - Ken does, I am sure he will weigh in at some point with his choices...I know he does have an alternate location. He uses deck 10 Starboard because there is a lot of space and a couple of "tables" for him to set up...he has quite the production to do with the lanyards. this will all be made common knowledge...plus we can put a note on Bob's door about the location as well, I am sure....

 

[COASTIEandMATE]

I'm going salmon fishing in ketch is there another fishing person doing the same, maybe we can go together.

 

[ibouncetoo]

I don't pick the meet place - Ken does,

Yes, I was addressing my question to the decision maker!

...While we are posting popular websites for clothing accessories to keep us warm ... I'd like to take a moment to post one of my favorite places for sleepwear ...

Guys, if you have ever purchased a DCL glass beer mug ... remember to bring it with you on the cruise. You can still use the mug to get a 22 ounce beer for the price of a 16 ounce beer. In addition, DCL allows you to turn in your glass mug ... receive a *token* ... so you do not have to lug it around the ship with you 24/7.

Has anyone ever participated in the Beer Tasting events? I think they are about $15 or so (pp). I have heard some say the beers offered were nothing special ... not sure if it's worth participating in (ie: social event) ... or whether to put the money towards three mugs of beer. If anyone has attended ... please feel free to add input.


Steven (of Steven & Donna)

Hey Steven...
we have done the beer tasting, it is a pretty good time, you learn a little too!
you get 5 different beers and their origin...good times with a crowd, willing to do it again, you sign up @ the guest services desk
Did youi ever get my PM with my e-mail?

Ken (KPRO) will probably be off line for a few days, I am sure he will post his schedule shortly, and (as he usually does) he will post it numerous times before the cruise! His normal locations are at the cruise terminal before boarding and then on deck 10 sometime before the safety drill and sail away.
