Glad you were able to snag it ... thanks for thinking of me. I posted here for the same reason!

I'm sure you will be fine with that Palo reservation, too. We were on the Dream last fall and had to wait until on board to get a brunch reservation and it was no trouble at all.

REMY brunch for us Monday at 11:30!!

***EDIT!! Nevermind!! We decided to opt out. I didn't realize it was a sit-down, no selecting thing, I thought it had a similar concept to Palo brunch, just a little more swanky and with champagne. I will just have to keep hoping and praying for Palo!

That's what we did on the Dream maiden too. I just like everything done already when I step aboard! I'm persnickety that way I guess.

The beer hunt has begun. We picked up 2 bottles today and are on the look out for more. Probably headed to a brewery next weekend. Soooo many choices.
To those of you that are flying, how are you transporting your bottles? I am SOOOO petrified that they will break in my luggage and my clothes will make me smell like I had one too many!

 

[lsjones]

got our docs today!! yeah!!

If they are "normal" sized bottles, you might try wrapping them in an old washcloth or hand towel and then pack them into a gallon sized ziploc bag. We've done this, or a variation of it, with several different kinds of boozie goodness over the years and it's never been a problem. The only accident we ever had was when we tried to bring a bottle of champagne home from Vegas and the cork popped during the flight ... I sure I hope our clothes enjoyed their bubble bath! hahah!!

Since we are bringing 750ml beer bottles, we're just going to put them into protective wine sleeves. Works like a charm on wine bottles so I see no reason why it won't work on beer bottles!

Heads up on the cup issue ... I have a leftover party pack of 24 (12oz) cups that I can bring with us for the tasting. They are actually pretty funny but I won't spoil the surprise. So, unless more than 24 people are showing up, I think we solved the "what are we going to drink out of?" question.

Thanks. I'll look into the protective sleeves. I'll need to see the size. Do you think it would be wise to ship them to our hotel ahead of time? Or is there more of a chance that they'll break?
We're staying at WDW before, so I was wondering If I should just send them ahead?...

Does anyone know if your allowed to bring your own beer on board without stashing it in your luggage?? 2 years age my husband spotted someone bringing cases on a cart and they were allowed to board with them. Is this still the case??

Yep, as long as your carry it one and have it in a container that will fit through the scanner at the port.

You can carry one as much beer, wine and alcohol that you can Carry on. They don't allow it in luggage and if the dogs hit on it they will open and remove it.

Any special requests from RVA or Charlottesville?
I was going to bring an assortment from Blue Mountain Brewery (http://www.bluemountainbrewery.com/brewery), Legend (http://www.legendbrewing.com/), and Hardywood (http://www.hardywood.com/)


So exciting! Congrats to everyone who got documents this week!

Applied 9/10 Monday for all four of us, received today 9/21 Friday. Sweeet.

Woohoo! Wow, 10 business days? That has to be a record.

Thanks for the info!! Husbands deciding which micro California brew to bring with us to share then I guess we'll be shopping there for the daily drinking stuff

We are at 20 I believe. I have a PM I haven't looked at yet but I saw the FB post about it so that number includes them. The spreadsheet is at work (gosh I love saying that again!)

For location- it has been suggested O'Gills if available or Piazza (next door) if not. Comments? I'm hoping for Sunday or Monday. I'll have a look at some of the current Navigators to see what we can work around.

I also have some tasting cups leftover from last month when we went to Wisconsin..... So we're covered.

Perhaps the PM was from me. I sent one to add 4 friends.

I watched the Fantasy sail out yesterday searching for friends. Last post from them yesterday said they were finishing up lunch just before noon. So... excited for them, but I did say that after their fun is only a memory, my Fantasy will be a reality!!

FB? Oh, there is a cruise group page for this cruise, isn't there? I never asked to be added ... DOH!

Ah well ...

From the last Eastern cruise it sounded like there are some events that take place in OGills (coaster making for one example ... I guess I need one of those to set my drink on ... ) but I don't think that those would preclude us from meeting there if that's what would work best. Otherwise I'd say go with Piazza to keep it simple. We can bring a bottle opener too.

Remember when the Sam Adams tasting at Epcot's F&W used to include that cool bottle opener shaped like a bottle? We still have ours!
