Mindi checking in-----Sandy and Merill

I need to check on stateroom because our send stateroom number has changed.

2643 is our 2nd stateroom

Mindi, you are making up for lost time aren't you! I am under the impression that it will be the night of the 4th of July to book, and I think it's eastern time. Which is 9pm for us here on the west coast, which is right in the middle of fireworks.
I think I'm going to hold off paying mine off until the last minute because they are getting closer to our week with the airline employee discount (they are up to the September 19th sailing) so I'm going to sacrafice being able to book Palo to hopefully save around $2500. We'll see what happens.

If I thought I was going to save $2500 I'd wait too!!!! I mean I love Palo but $2500 that's alot of $$$$$$

Happy 4th all! Look at Mindi go! LOL She just came outta the woodworks. Hey Mindi...I am a bit confused. I thought U had the 2 staterooms I have listed? Can u please tell me which one U are in and which the aunt/uncle are in....sorry having a moment over here...No more changing number for any of you. U all are gonna throw this anal organized person into a tizzy!! Ok well I will chat more tomorrow. Off to downtown for fun and then back to the campgrounds! Woohoo. Made breakfast over the fire this morning...cast iron skillets and all... TTFN

Mindi- We thought it would be fun to let them help with planning this time. Sure glad we did not tell them earlier, Michael is wanting to go now and not wait. So far airfare is not the best, we have booked a room at country inn and suites for Friday night. We are leaving Thursday night and just drive all night relax on Friday.

Kyle wants to go to Tulum, and Hunter is wanting to go to the ADventure park in Cozumel. Having to book Adventure park on own, because DCL says Michael to young, but they will let kids be as young as 6. in Grand Cayman, we are wanting to play with Dolphins. Hoping to get a palo brunch. then will be off to bed after all that is done tonight.

Everyone have a great 4th. We are off to family for a pool party.

Tulum is awesome - we did that one on our last Western.

Anyone else out there waiting for our booking window to open?

What are you looking to book?

I'm hoping for Palo brunch on Mon, dinner on Thurs, and Atlantis submarine in Cozumel (that one shouldn't be too hard). Then, once I have all those figured out I'll book a Rasul .

I am!

We just finished figuring out what excursions we want. Only one I'm going to book is in Cozumel - Discover Mexico & Chankanaab.

We're going to do Key West and Grand Cayman on our own.

Also want a Pal brunch and maybe tea for me and my sister - Darrell tried it once and didn't like it.

I'm also going to book a Palo brunch. Maybe a high

 

[wareagle]

We may be the odd ones, but we are not booking any excursions this trip. We've done Palo before and was not overly impressed. We did an excursion in Cozumel last trip and felt rushed. We are just going to relax and take it easy this trip. Good luck to everyone trying to book things at midnight.

Hope everyone has had a great 4th. We just got home from watching fireworks. They weren't as good as Disney's, but not too bad for Huntsville.

I keep reminding myself that 13 weeks from today, we will be on the boat . It can't come soon enough.

Hi there! I'm up too! We're looking to book Palo brunch (any sea day will do); Richard is wanting to do the 3 Reef Snorkel in Cozumel (his dad is going to book that one too when he can - he's a first timer) and we're all going to book Boatswain's Adventure Marine Park in Grand Cayman. Good luck to all of us.

 

[Mindibellcm]

I'm here too!

I want a Palo Brunch and would also like a dinner but I can't remember the rules on that. Can I book both tonight?


All excursions will be on our own. Cheaper and more flexibilty with the ages.

 

[Mindibellcm]

What night is formal night, semi formal and pirate? I am not as on my game this year as in years past.

I know, I've been in hiding and then I come back and take over the boards. I'll have to sit down and explain where I've been but that's too long for tonight. This is the unofficial explaination of rooms. The 6015 will have Mindi, Marty, Thomas and Taylor. The one on deck 2 will have Marilyn, Sandy and Merill. I say unofficial because Thomas is actually booked in that room to get the discount from booking onboard last year.

Yes - you can book both brunch and dinner (tea too) - but only 1 of each.

We are booked the same way - we have 2 rooms booked. Darrell is booked in 1 and I'm on the other but we will be staying together

 

[Mindibellcm]

Can I book a Palo for 5? I read something about having to do a table for 2 and a table for 4 to get a table for 6 and then once onboard ask them to combine them?

 

[jsheridan]

Formal - Monday
Semi Formal - Thursday
Pirate - Wednesday

But don't kill me if I'm wrong...

 

[kpflillirpf]

Well folks, only 4 more minutes! Good luck to you all. Looking forward to hearing what everyone got. Probably won't log back in here until after church tomorrow. Oooo, only 3 minutes now. See ya!
