Any one ever transfer their cruise to Dreams Unlimited

We have always either used them to book right out, or, named our Dreams agent at the time of re-booking on the ship. Sorry!

THanks for updating the FE Scott. I appreciate it. Starting to get everything together and needed a count of adults, boys, girls...you know. Anyway another quick question about the FE... do we indicate somewhere who it is from? Like a label or something? Or does it remain anonymous?

It all depends on you - we've received it both ways. We like to put a label on it that says who it's from, though.

Well, I did some DIS detective work......

Angiengary hasn't been active since Oct 2010 on this thread only - no where else on the DIS.....

Lilo's Mom lost her DH Bob last year.....(very sad - I stumbled on the memorial thread), so I would hazard a guess that she may not be going....

snugglepeas/KilleriMac17 are a toss up

I would say that if we don't hear back from them in the next few days (maybe Monday??), that it's safe to remove them from the FE list, since even if they were cruising, we wouldn't know where to deliver their FE gifts to!!

I updated the FE List and moved these to an Unconfirmed group at the bottom.

Thanks for updating the FE Scott. I appreciate it.

Sorry again for the mess up with the counts.

 

[dapod423]

Don't apologize. I wouldn't want your job. It must be alot to keep up with. Have a good weekend and see you in about 3 WEEKS!!!!

Suggestions: You can wait to buy a camera on ship and save taxes and get a really nice one, IF you need a camera before than I've personally found some really nice Cannon and Kodak ones for reasonable.
As for FE's You could do a canvas bag and hang that from Fish or if crafty isn't your thing there is a diser who makes/sells on ebay who really does a nice job and can personalize them, like Jodi's is all pluto, Our's is 100 acre wood crew.

Are you looking to buy a P&S or a DSLR? You can order from a reputable online camera store like B&H or Adorama and not pay tax.

I just read your journal of your Jan cruise. Your daughter is adorable. And Scott's pictures are so good

Thanks I hope to do another one for our cruise with a little less food pics, and a little more ship, etc. pics. Trip reports are a great way to keep memories from each cruise!

 

[Silverfox97]

By the way, if any of you are planning on just walking around in Key West, or thinking about some museums, go to www.trustedtours.com and you can get some savings! We bought a package deal with the Butterfly House & the Hemingway house, and it saved us over $5/adult vs. buying the tickets at the door.

hello again great news my mother reminded us that last time we visted her we were showing her pics which reminded us where we left our camera and amazingly her memory is better than our 40 year younger ones and we found our missing camera YAE! now one less thing to do before we leave...
Is anyone out there feel like they are really earning their vacation??? because I am really working my but off at the office and will be so ready to escape for a week!!! and no cooking and cleaning for a week!
To those out there with little ones just wondering if you are planning on bringing a small stroller??? For us it would be helpful on excursions to explore, but otherwise we probably wouldn't use it much on the ship- any advise from other parents????

Before every cruise, I do feel as if I earned that vacation! Yesterday was a crazy, hectic day at work -- I got through the day by saying 2 weeks from Friday, I'll be flying to Orlando. Also, there was a full moon yesterday.........

No cooking, cleaning, napkins placed on our laps, CMs asking if there's anything they can do for us, sunny skies, 7 days on the beautiful Magic ..... It'll be a great 7 days!

Yep! I can certainly tell you that my DH (ssanders79) has earned this one coming up more than any of the others!!!!! We are looking forward to this cruise very much I can't wait to tour the islands and to do as much or as little as we please!!!!!
