Cabin # 1070 for Martha & David

We are going to try for an upgrade at the port. How will we
let everyone know if we have a new cabin?

We are on late dining.

Getting excited as the cruise gets closer.

Are there any other single parents/singles on this sailing? There are often some of the adult only stuff I want to attend (like the comedian and stuff) and I never go, because I feel so awkward just going in and sitting down at a show by myself.
I am fairly social, but can be shy at first - I can't walk into a large room of people where everyone is with someone, and just sit down and chat. I am hoping to catch some of these shows this time! Would be nice to have someone to go with!

Liz,
You will know all of us. My husband is not always interested in attending the same things I am, so perhaps we could go to some of this stuff together. Let's talk at the pre-muster get-together! Remember, you'll be on a ship with lots of people who like the same things you do!!

I am traveling with my mom but single and would love to meet up and do some things, I tend to feel the same way. Hope you get your room soon. I was hoping for a nice upgrade because we had booked over a year ago but only got moved up within the same group. I guess it was better than nothing.

I created a spreadsheet of the FE list.
I'll continue to update it between now and the final list.

Download and Print Version:
Click here to download the PDF file.
Click here to download the Excel file.

The links are also be posted with the FE list on Page 5.

Please view the list and make sure all your information is there.
I know there are stateroom numbers and dining times that need to be entered.

Thanks,
Nick

Thanks for all the hard work Nick, you are awesome.

Hey liz, another thought my mom and I have reservations at Palos for brunch on the day we are at the Tracy Arm. We would love to have you join us if you are interested. Let me know so that I can call and change the reservation to three.

The DIS meet at the Promenade Lounge would be a great time!

We can verbally exchange any information that was changed. Then for any cabin who could not make it, I could write down the cabin upgrades/changes at the DIS meet and then place the list of changes in the pocket of our FE Extender? Anyone who wants to know of cabin changes (or add theirs) can then look inside my FE pocket for the list of changes. Does that work?

Liz,
Wow, I just put two and two together that you are the one that put the awesome list together on the Vancouver fact thread. That has been awesome to be able to use and learn from. I am so excited that you are on our cruise. I am still trying to make all my plans for our one night in Vancouver, I was hoping for the hop on and off tour bus but it ends early evening so I think we are going to try and get around using public transportation. It sounds like it should be easy but I don't use it here so it will be a learning time. Thanks again for all the info, I may come back and ask you more questions.

For those that are interested in reading a blog from the May 3 cruise one has been posted http://www.carol-anne.ca/ it says it will be in the disney room, I am not sure what that is but I will soon find out.


ONLY 25 DAYS!!!!

I noticed that stateroom 2133 is no longer available on DCL's website... so my question is who is our new neighbor???

How do you check what stateroom is available?

 

[magicimaginear]

Pretend like you plan on booking then on the second screen under stateroom click change and the select stateroom

How do you check what stateroom is available?

 

[Lollipop's Mom]

It's not me next door!! Still no number here!!

 

[nennewmom]

Got our paperwork in the mail today. It's now less than a month before departure and we still don't have a hotel room for Vancouver.

Hi Everyone!

Let's chat about brunch!

I know some of you have already booked brunch. (Lucky you!) This invitation is for you, as well as those who have not.

DH and I REALLY want to do Palo Brunch, however, since we booked late, there are of course absolutely no reservations available.

When we cruised on the Wonder in November, a fellow DIS member had organized a group and booked the private dining room at Palo for brunch. It was gorgeous, wonderful, incredible service, and one of the highlights of our 4 days. We also got to meet some fun DISers!

I called DCL to inquire about how to arrange this. I was told that we needed to have a group of 12 people who wanted to eat brunch, collect their names and reservation numbers, and then submit the request via fax. If available for any day, they would then book us the room.

So.... anyone want to get together as a group and have brunch in the private room at Palo? I will arrange all the details and to the "legwork" in booking it. I *believe* if you already have a reservation for brunch it can just be moved to be part of the group - but I will call tomorrow to confirm that if it applies to anyone.

Thanks for considering a group brunch in the private Palo room. It could be a lot of fun!

I am game for anything like that - I do know that someone added me as a 3rd today and we have the coveted 'during tracy arm' spot - the view should be incredible, so not sure that is a spot people would be willing to give up!

I notice the IGT are now sold out on our cruise -I bet I see a stateroom number tomorrow! Only 10A left, then outside and verandah and suite - but inside is going faster now...
