October 27, 2007 - Cruising around the Moon - A Magical All Hallows Eve

[pjpoohbear]

Hey PJ - if I book this one through a TA... when I price the offer when on our cruise.... if it's better with the 10% discount and $200 OBC, do they transfer the deposit too? Thanks for the helpful info!!

I'm looking mid-ship Cat 6 right now. Our first cruise was a Cat 6 on Deck 5 in 5622 and I LOVED only having one "neighbor" but the life boats to my left were a bit in the way of some pictures! I imagine on Deck 6 you can't see the boats at all!

This Halloween we are in 6078.

The only people who I've know who have done the transfer of funds from same cruise to same cruise onboard for OBC and discount were not using a TA at the time, many have transfer it to a TA afterwards, best to see what the main board knows about this situation.

Pj

I've got a request for a quote in at DL and with my TA. I'll book the Halloween DD to Costa Maya soon. Most likely directly with DCL to avoid the deposit issue. Hopefully the 10% discount and the OBC (which my TA usually matches) will be worth it! OH MY GOSH, I'm addicted to DCL!!

Intervention is needed!!!!

I think we'll do a quick 4-5 day trip to WDW in March 2008 as well. That will hold us over! I need a second job.... 1-900-Kimmielee isn't paying out enough now!!!

Sorry you won't be joining us Rachel.... but congrats on the DD Halloween Cruise!

Anyone taking her room? What's the difference with a Cat 3 vs. a 6? Bigger?

its a SUITE! with Concierge~

DW finally got something she's really wanted: a universal remote for the tv/vcr/dvd. After an hour of programming our components into the computer, we think we've achieved success. Except for the fact that the stereo system isn't hooked to any of the other components, so we spent time programming it into the remote for nothing. Over/under on rer's time for the same tasks is 15 minutes, per DW.
I looked at the 4/06 Eastern Navigators on the DIS yesterday, and am hoping they'll have the digital photography seminar on our cruise. I think gaining experience with digital photography is next on our technology to-do list.

Had an AWESOME time flying today! I got to realize a dream acting as a flight nurse! VERY COOL!!!!! I'm exhausted b/c I had to be at the hospital at 5AM! That means I got up at 0400! CRAZY! I'll probably be asleep at halftime!

 

[DreamCruiser100]

Just Checking In............still need to CUOP!!!

Wonderful news as it seems DH did not have any members in the area that was hit by the Tornado's. The news coverage here shows such devastation.

I have not been on-line much this weekend because both DH and DD have awful colds and are running me ragged LOL, I finally got DD to lay down and read a book ( nap ) and DH is settling in to watch the Superbowl. Atleast I am not hosting a house full of crazy football fans this year, since our house is now known as the SICK FAMILY house LOL.

DH and I are trying to figure out which cruise we will book while on board??
DH thinks the DS boards are harboring a secret porthole that goes straight into our bank account ( That's Disney Magic for ya )

Ok, I am going to go CUOP and then hopefully I will be able to come back and hang out for awhile.

 

[DreamCruiser100]

Ahhh....only had to catch up on 3 or 4 pages!!

First off
YEAH KIMMIELEE is Back!!

Congratulations to NOAH, McKENNA AND HOLLY FOR SUCH GREAT REPORT CARDS!!!

EWWWW I HATE RATS!!!

Melanie........I hope you feel better soon!!!

Vital: I have a cat that leaves me presents too..She is 14 years young and is the GREASTEST cat EVER!!! ( ok well I don't like the presents much, but it is the thought that counts )

A Flying NURSE HOW COOL IS THAT!!!

Looks like Dh and I need to look into the DD cruise for Oct. 25th 2008, We couldn't book right now though but could in a few months. Would that be better than waiting to book on board????

 

[Kimmielee]

Paula - I'm glad you had a great time!

I was thinking of you earlier. How cool to realize a dream!!

Pam, I'd book as soon as you can come up with the deposit. IF prices go up too much then you'll have a better price than rebooking on board, even with the 10% discount and the $200 OBC. However, if not.... then you'll have a lock on the room you want AND have the deposit all done!

I'm booking mine in about 2 weeks when my bonus comes. I don't want to take $$$ out of savings for the deposit. Also, I got a quote from DU and it was the same as the DCL website... but with an OBC of $200. My regular TA will match the OBC when I rebook on board and have it switched to her so I end up with $400! IF the prices go up significantly, I might lose but I'll take my chances.

Maria - give high 5's to Mckenna and Holly for their report cards! Isn't it funny that our "grades" are opposite one another? Or.... did I read Noah's report card wrong? OH MY ... just kidding... they are opposite.

We were half-way down page 2. I fell asleep during the 3rd quarter but managed to wake up for the Colts getting the trophy! At least I didn't miss most of the commercials.

I REALLY need a vacation! I'm trying to think of what we can do over spring break to help me out some. I think it's the fact that we've really only seen the sun for 3 good days out of 21. I'm used to sunny weather. It's been too cold to go outside and enjoy the sun when it's out. It can really have an effect on me. It used to be we could just drive down to our beach and grab a room for a couple of nights but since Katrina, all of that has changed. Oh well, I'll quit complaining now and hop in the shower.

Come to Michigan... it's beautiful and sunny Oh and did I mention that with the windchill it's 25 degrees BELOW ZERO????????? They cancelled school today. It's not a "snow day", it's a "COLD day"! I can't remember the last time they did that!

Noah's ears weren't improving. He was crying when he had to swallow so we are on new meds... until he can swallow without crying/screaming... he's home with me. So.... here I am!

 

[ohsodisney]

Good Morning everyone. Well once AGAIN the schools are closed and we are getting battered with OMG possibally 2 more feet of snow , thank God it melts a bit in between because our house would be buried by now. Wind chilla are -25 , it is horrible so I am with you Paula , a nice trip down south sounds really good about now . I called work and they said don't bother coming in since it is so bad out. Many many accidents have been broadcasted already. We are so getting paid back for the mild December and January.

I am not sure what to do about the "08" DD. I know there are alot of items on our to do list including a 20x30 cedar shed and finishing off our countertops with corian, we started it but since the one side is almost 30 feet long we have put that on eventually list. We have a few weekly vacations planned this year including Jellystone Camping and Lake George Adronidacks family vacation. We are renting a cabin for the week and going to Six Flags and other area attractions.

We are thinking of possibally going on one of the new RCCL ships to the deep South and then coming back to Disney maybe the following year. We have done the St Thomas and St Maarteen iternary for the past 6 cruises and I really would like a change, I LOVE the Southern Carib islands

Pam, Glad to hear your family is alright

Paula, how wonderful you were able to do something you have been dreaming about , maybe someday you will be onboard that helicopter . ​

 

[ohsodisney]

Oh , I forgot .
Did anyone see where the man from Texas lost 70 pounds in 7 months on the water diet ? He drank 3 glasses of water at each meal , 1 before, 1 after and 1 during. Others have claimed that they lost weight doing the same thing. It actually makes alot of sense when you think about it. Not only is it helping to fill you up faster but it does flush some salts and other stuff out of your system, not fat however but I think thats where the filling you up sooner comes in. He also said he ate desert everynight , thats what really matters
