Oh my! What a busy bunch we are now that we are getting closer to sailing!
:
Is it possible to change your palo reservations? Or are you pretty much stuck with what you get?
Our DD made a reservation for 6 and wanted to change it to 7 (6 I guess was the max. she could make a reservation for on-line...or she forgot we had 7 adults) so a couple of weeks ago she called. She was told that we would have to wait until we got on board and then go see the Maitre d'.
I figured a call was cheap, so I called back yesterday (to the
Castaway Club member 'hot line'), and after being on hold for almost 15 minutes (got to listen to some nice Disney music though
) was told the same thing.
So we wait...

If you have or if you do not have reservations for Palo, brunch or dinner, once you are onboard, you can go and see about getting a reservation or modifying a reservation. You will need to inquire about this once you are on board. I think it is usually at 1:00 and would be in Wave Bands, but things change. Ask at guest services or ask your greeter when you get onboard and they will direct you on how to change/obtain reservations for Palo or for your regular dining rotation/schedule.
Hi everyone,
We just booked this cruise and are so excited to sail to the Mexican Riviera. Our group includes myself, dsister, dd and ds. We're pretty sad that we missed the FE cutoff date. Looking forward to meeting you.
Monica
Welcome aboard! We are a quiet but fun loving group
I'm sad you missed the FE cut off also. That said, you will have fun anyways! Be sure to decorate your door and do a walk around on each deck viewing the other doors. It's a lot of fun and great exercise for people like me who need it! Looking forward to meeting you in the terminal or at the 3:00 meet and greet on board!
We're definately doing the Pirate Ship Adventure in Puerto Vallarta! Have heard fantastic things about it (I always check multiple sources I am known in my group of friends as having "Yelp-Fu" because I find such gems), looked at the beach they take you to and it looks amazing. Private beach, banana boat, snorkeling, sand castle contest, kayaks, boogie boards, etc.
Here's a link to their site diretly which has more info than
DCL:

Oh, and the water should be in the 80s:

I can't believe how quickly the time has gone by. 21 days from today we're flying down and 22 days until the cruise. Not sure where we are going to stay Saturday night, plan on figuring that out this week.
Linda - I have friends who did this cruise last year with 2 DD's ages 10 and 8 and they LOVED the Paradise Beach Hotel excursion. They felt it was a highlight of the cruise. We ended up booking Las Caletas as I checked today and they opened a second tour at 10am which is a little more palatable to the night owls in my family
Looking forward to meeting you all in a few weeks.
Thanks for the info! I appreciate it. I'm just worried if the water is too cool for the Pirate adventure? Besides ocean water, what is there to do on the Pirate adventure. When booking in advance you don't know what the weather is. This is my hesitation. If the water is cool, what else is there to do on the Pirate adventure excursion? I think you can probably book the pirate ship excursion at the port, outside of Disney. I could be wrong, but I think the only way you can book the Paradise Village excursion is through the cruise line. I appreciate the comments and thoughts.
were so excited and we just recently did the cruise and jimmy was our cruise director and capt. thord was our capt., they are the best.
hey does anyone know how to request a server we had an awesome one but we cant remember the head waiters name
You can contact your TA or Disney and let them know you would like to request a specific server. I don't think the head waiter's name matters as they seem to rotate. I am sure the server would be thrilled to get a guest request them again! I don't know how you would do that if you don't know the server or at least the assistant server's name.
Hi! We are going on the Turkey Cruise this November on the Disney Wonder and would like to join the FE game. How can we be added? We are a group of five in two different staterooms. One stateroom has two adults M and F and a 4yr old child F in room 6134. The other room has an adult F and a teen M, rm # 6131. Thanks so much.
Welcome to the cruise meet Disneymama! It's going to be a great cruise and I'm glad that you are able to join us
Unfortunately, the FE gift exchange closed earlier this month so everyone could get their gifts assembled. So sorry. But that won't effect your experience on this cruise! Lots of things going on board with the crew starting their Christmas Holiday decorations! Again, come to the meet and greets. DoubleTrouble has put some together and they are listed on the fist page of this thread. I'm sure he will be posting some reminders.
We look forward to meeting everyone!
I'm glad they are going to start having the Christmas decorations up. Dh asked me tonight what we are going to do for holiday cards. We have our business holiday cards ordered already. We will hopefully get a photo from this cruise for our 2012 holiday cards. I will take that as his approval for many photo purchases!
Finally got our luggage tags....yes, it was heaven to feel them! I just want to attach them now. I love cruising and cannot wait for this cruise!
Hope everyone has their packing list!
Want to share packing tips? Here is my new tip, one I have not done before. I am going to be bringing waffle cones for the ice cream machine! I read about this and thought, how fun! You can bring some sprinkles and other toppings to make a great family fun get together by the pool or whatever. I will have waffle cones this trip and maybe some special toppings for the ice cream. I'll be the lady with the waffle cone in one hand and the chocolate mustache on her face. Yummy! Come join me!
Linda
