Great!!! Thanks for checking.

I had called to see if the port opens at 10:00 or 11:00 like PC and after I hung up I thought "you should have asked about Halloween". The port opens at 11:00. At first he said 10:00 but when I mentioned I called to see they didn't change it to 11:00 like they have PC. He responded "Did I say 10:00? I should have said 11:00" so not real confident, as usual, about the answer I got.

We talked about having a central location to receive updated stateroom information. If you like, I can volunteer my door. I am on deck 7 midship just to port of the center elevators so I am easy to find. I also have a two pocket FE but there is only one of me. We can bring the spreadsheet and make changes if need be (during our meet & greet) then see if a CM will make copies for us. I can then place the copies in the pocket of my FE and folks can stop by an pick them up. This way everyone will know where I am and will have no excuses for not delivering FE's to me.

Anyway, that is an idea similar to what we did on my last cruise. And it worked out okay.

I am open to other ideas and suggestions. And I seem to remember that someone may have already volunteered their door?

70+ pages IS a lot to read through!

Works for me!!!

I just heard back from DCL concerning the mixology session - not exactly good news.

Hi Valerie,

Per Dorothy that things changed since the last time you requested the private mixology session is now $20.00 per person. It must be a minimum of 25, maximum of 50 guest. Please let me know how you feel about this.
Thank you,

I don't think we have 25 people interest, more like 15.

Val

Oh no! Well, with new additions maybe we will have 25? That is sad that they won't do it for fewer people! I willkeep my fingers crossed!

Yay!! Let's hope that's accurate and doesn't change! If anyone else calls, you might double check, since the last time we had so many conflicting responses...

Hi:
So new to all of this! Thanks for all of your patience.
How do we find out what night the "pirate night" will be? Are there any other theme nights other than Halloween, Pirate, and Formal night we should be aware of?

Thanks!
Chantal

Been doing a lot of reading on this and the Disneycruise website. The Stem to Stem wine pairing sounds fun but since I don't know when it is and can't try to sign up until we are onboard, how do I coordinate the nursery with it? The website says that you have an opportunity to make reservations for the nursery at the open house, does anyone know if reservations can be made at other times? The website made it sound as if I would be lucky to get a space for my two year old. Has anyone had trouble? (Wanted to put their child in the nursery but couldn't because of lack of space?) Thanks! My only consistent worry about this cruise is not being able to participate in an activity because of child care issues.

I just spoke with DCL and they confirmed that the schedule is as Val posted

Holloween on night 2

Formal night - night 3

Pirate Night - night 5

and semi-formal night - night 6

she also confirmed that there would be porters available starting at 10 but that check in would start at 11, I'm hoping they start a little earlier as our sedan will be dropping DH and I off at about 9:45 and DH will not be a happy camper standing around with nothing to do for so long but I really want a port upgrade so I don't want to change our sedan time

What are you hoping to upgrade to? Do you know anything about the cost formula for the upgrades?

 

[cruisemaniac2011]

Count us in on the FE! Still don't have a room number but I will post it in the spreadsheet when we do. Hopefully we'll get one soon - the suspense is killing me!

Val,
I would love to know the cost formula for an upgrade. My husband wants to try for an upgrade and I have no idea how this works.

Thanks!

We are hoping to upgrade to a verandah I believe it should be about $500-$550 as a Navigator Verandah is about $1000 more than we paid for our 11c and a true verandah is $1100 more.

I believe it is approximately 50% of the cost of the upgrade pre-cruise so if you are booked in an oceanview cabin and a verandah is posted online at $500 more at the port it will be approximately $250. Or at least that is my understanding of how it works.

Wow, that sounds great! I'm going to give it a try, but we're not getting to the port until after 1pm so we may be too late.
