November 7, 2009 ~~~~ AHOY ST.CROIX ~~~~

[GoofyTraci]

Good morning everyone!!!!

You guys have been so busy over the evening and this morning. I am getting so excited and nervous about this trip. Having a bit of crazy dreams about the cruise. So I am sure things will go well, but really just want to get on the ship so I can feel better.

Tim and I still have a couple of things to get done before we leave for the cruise friday. It's just very very hard keeping the secret now. Two more days I keep telling myself.

And I dont want to be here at work!!!!! But have a good day everyone!

Questions here................


When bringing food(candy) on the ship. Does this have to be in carry on or our checked luggage?

I don't see any reason why it couldn't be wherever you want it to be. I packed my fe candy in my suitcase the year I gave it.

I have it packed in suitcase but my mom is becoming a worry wart about everything. Its in my suitcase then.



I asked before about the peanut allergy but I will ask again.....Anyone participating in the FE Exchange have a peanut allergy or sugar free only, please let me know.


My day is dragging along...........I need something exciting to happen!!!!

They are being mean because YOU are going on a Disney cruise and they are not - JEALOUS. But, I am with you, there is no excuse for rude. But, you can tell yourself that you are going and they are not so you get the last laugh anyway.

And Mickey Bars, bring them on. Remember you can order them for dessert in the dining rooms (with or without sprinkles) as well as from room service. And be careful with room service - I kept getting two last year when I would order them.

Thanks Gail!! I needed some support.

The girls still talk about when they had Mickey Bars on their last cruise at night before bed and we made them eat them shirtless and then hop in the tub. That's better than at the table with their good clothes on. At that time they were 3 and 6. I think that might be a good way to go again. They keep wanting the bars and the bars keep melting.

We put some of our gifts in each suitcase so they will ALL have candy in them. I think we brought candy for the kids to eat last time too and never had a problem.

Has Bob left for his vacation already. I know we are supposed to let Bob know any room changes but I was thinking he was gone and we should do it immediately upon arrival at our room. Correct? Any one else catching a bus from the airport?

You are supposed to update the list on Bob's door after we are on the ship.

That's what I thought.

Traci -

Tell those mean, nasty people that Pluto will bite 'em!

Food can be in either carry on or checked luggage. The only consideration might be if anything is meltable - not sure where the luggage sits after they take it from the curb but it's likely not air conditioned. We've sure cooled off here these past two days, but due to be back in the 80s.

Hello everyone. I'm so excited, I can barely focus! I only slept 4 hours last night, I guess I'm overexcited!

Shauna~Thank you for the bracelets, we are already wearing them! My daughter was so excited. I told her to take it off for swim practice, but I really don't think that bracelet is coming off until we return home from the cruise!

Traci~Do you still have the graphics for our cruise? I would like to try and make magnets, but I cannot find the post that has them.

Have a good evening!

Good evening everyone. Well, I made out pretty well today when I took my suitcases to be weighed at PakMail - 1 is 36 pounds and the other is 38! I think I just saved myself $50.00 by not having that second bag. I do have more items to pack but can't be that heavy.

So, getting those two completed is my project for this evening and tomorrow evening will be the carry-ons - I may even get those going tonight.

Linda - I hope you had a good time today - and Kathy too except you won't read this until you get home.

My mind is scrambling......


Do I need to signed letter from my daughters father stating he knows shes going on the cruise? I know last time I had her birth certificate which has both our names on it but this time I was only planning on taking her passport but that doesnt have my name on it. We have different last names so I dont want to have a problem with it.

I can't answer that Krista but I would suggest asking on the main board if you don't get a response PDQ here from someone. Did you check the FAQ's - there might be something there.

I looked in the FAQ's and only see about taking a child that you are not the parent or guardian of - I think I would call DCL directly and ask.

Paula,

Pls see page 125 for the disigns. Most of us are wearing the last one that says Ahoy St croix.

Not sure if they are wearing them to board or to the meet. Did we ever talk about that? I dont know...

Hope everyone had a great day. Mine was terrible can't wait to get on the ship and forget this place. I sound not very nice but sorry. Ok gotta think happy thoughts.

Where is Linda? Kathy I miss you. Thanks for everyone for keeping me company.

I'm here, in Jacksonville, Traci! My computer time is kinda limited since dh and I are sharing a computer, which we don't at home.
'

It was sunny and 70 today. Spending time with my cousins and a little sight seeing and shopping. Bought a wonderful new suitcase today and hope to eliminate two small ones. time will tell.

Went to a wonderful scrapbook store - the trouble is - they have so much stuff and I feel so rushed with dh waiting for me, even though he has a book, I get overwhelmed and end up not buying much.

Have a good night, everybody - and remember - do the important stuff FIRST!

 

[sokay168]

I did call DCL too but they weren't much help. Alot if and buts that I didnt fall in those categories. I found someone asking the same question. It says a copy of birth certificate along with passport will do. So that is what I'll do since getting her father to sign a paper and have it notarized before I leave will be impossible.


Thanks for all helps.

Traci...how many more days do you work? I wanted to leave today.....can't wait to leave that drama behind. I hear a drink calling my name.
