Looks like our ship is filling up!!!
Val & Bob here, so glad to see more of you are joining our group. Stephen, what did you find out about the ship filling up?
Cathy and Robert, welcome and thanks for adding your info to our roll call spreadsheet and signing up for the FE.

I don't know if we have a "group logo" I had posted a number of different concepts for magnets etc. I had made a few and one really nice one I had asked Jordak to design for us. If you haven't seen them, they are on page 6 & page 7 of this thread. I have them on Flicker, in my public folder, if you need help finding them, let me know. You can get magnet paper, in different sizes, on line or at some place like Office Depot. You just print them out from your computer. I've used my officejet printer and they came out really well. The magnet paper is not cheap but not to much. You can also order them from Vista Prints. You just go to their website and follow the instructions for inserting your picture and ordering. I am sure there are other sites out there that would do it too.
Cathy, Robert, Cindy & Mike, regarding the shirts, I don't think you've missed anything. Molly, Dizfitch had found a great deal on having them made and offered to take care of everything. I have to admit being guilty of not responding to her after she made the generous offer. Molly, is there are minimum order number for the shirts? Do you have an exact cost? Be sure to include shipping, tax, setup cost etc, I wouldn't want you stuck with the cost as well as the work. Do you have a deadline on when we would have to order? I think you were planning on using Jordaks design, the Ghost Ship, am I correct? Did your printer give you a mockup we could see or was he using the Flicker print? If ordering them from Molly's contact is no longer possible, we can setup something with Vista Prints and you can order from them. I can put the image out there and you could order the shirts. Vista Prints is on Ebates so you might get some good deals that way - I never pay the first listed price from them for anything.
I am still waiting to hear from Dorothy, at DCL, regarding the mixology private tasting. She is on vacation until the first week of August. Also, they usually don't start approving and scheduling special requests until 30 days before a cruise and after the cruise director team completes their schedule.
For those interested in the Champagne Girls, because we will be doing it on my verandah, we can wait to schedule it later, once we know when there is an open time.
DISboard friends from past cruises are on the MR cruise the first of October. Corinna does a great cruise report and has offered to get us up to date navigators for us to use in planning our trip at the end of the month. She'll also report on what changes they make to the Wonder while in dry dock in September. I have heard they are revamping Parrot Cay and enclosing the aft area on deck 9, outside Beach Blanket Buffet.
Stefanie, thanks for the recommendation regarding the Double Tree, they have a great deal which would allow us to park there should we decide to drive down from San Francisco rather then fly. Bob is leaning toward driving. He said it would be better due to all the 'junk' I insist on packing, the pirate costumes, my formal wear, the FE stuff etc. I reminded him we are staying at the Grand California after and they will charge as much as an airplane ticket to park there, but we'll see. I hate that 7 hour drive down highway 5 and although beautiful highway 1 takes forever.
Hope you all have a great weekend.
Val
