Pandora Bracelet Thread

[dolphingirl47]

Thanks for that info, Bev. I looked online and found a store called Kathy's Accessories, 5135 International Drive - I guess that must be it... We'll be going to Prime Outlets so will look out for it... Out of curiosity, where did you park?

Anyway, here's my cleaned, updated and re-themed bracelet...

That is really gorgeous.

Thank you...

...I am really thinking about a Chamilia bangle for my next 'bracelet' (says she with only 4 charms ) now that I have seen your I think it's about time I start work on my list for Santa

Well, you know Santa needs plenty of notice and lotsa help...

That's looks so pretty, Claire!!! Very beautiful cruise-appropriate colours too - I love how they look against the oxidised bracelet!!! What a lovely gift from Lee...

And here's just a couple of tasters of when you'll be wearing it...

I just watched it & it's definately not Pandora or Chamilia. The bracelet could be Chamilia but the charms definately aren't.

 

[CustardTart]

Ohhhhh I am so excited now!!!

Me too - just realised we'll be boarding the Magic in 3 weeks!!! Claire, are you doing dinner and brunch or only dinner???

Both!!!!

I booked the dinner on our Castaway Cay day.....is that the best day to go? What do you think?

Good girl!!! I was ambivalent about the brunch - I really didn't think it could live up to the hype but it's such fun!!! Gut-busting fun!!!

Dinner after Castaway Cay should be fine. If I remember rightly, it's all aboard at circa 5pm-ish so plenty of time to get ready for dinner... TBH, there's no right/wrong as it's down to your dining rotation which you don't know until you're onboard... I think we're doing dinner on Pirate Night as we've seen a few now so are happy to opt out of the festivities and just watch the fireworks...

Oooh I can't wait!!!

Thats what I thought....so just picked a day.

I am so excited, we will be boarding the Wonder the day after you get off the Magic. I know I am going to get hooked on cruising......

This time in two weeks I will be packed & trying to calm down ready for our stay at the airport on the Sunday.

I hope you do, Claire!!! Maybe we can even arrange a DIS Girly cruise trip in the future - there's nothing like it and I KNOW Mandy will agree... I cannot wait to get on the Magic - even if I have SOOOOOOOO much to do before we depart, it's scary...

Anyway, to haul us back on topic, I'm currently wondering if the Pandora charms will be cheaper at the ports on the cruise - no US sales tax and all that...? If I find that they are, I'll try and let you know via text/PM/this thread so you can treat yerself in Nassau...

Well I already have permission to go on a Girly WDW & Cruise trip!

I hope you manage to get some bargains....in Nassau we are going to be at Atlantis all day so I think I will be getting my charms from Polka Dotz or that shop on I Drive. Thanks anyway hun.

That bracelet looks great. I agree that the colours are perfect for cruising.

I can't wait until I am there again.

For me it's another 6 weeks until I am on the Magic again.

Both!!!!

I think Castaway Cay day is perfect. You will have to be back on the ship in plenty of time for dinner. We went on Pirate night last year as we did not really wanted to do the Pirate dinner. This year we are going on the Grand Cayman day as this is DH birthday.

I am sure you will love it. Our first cruise was last September. We are now seasoned cruisers with four cruises under our belt, 2 booked and 2 further planned.

I would definitely be up for a Girly cruise. Maybe the Magic will be home-ported in Europe from 2012 (rumours say that Dover will be her new home) and they might offer shorter cruises like other cruise lines do.

Thanks Corinna. I really like the blue glass ones.

What itinerary are you doing? 6 weeks will soon be here - although not too soon I hope as I will be back home by then.

I think we should seriously start organising & saving for one!

I just have to get over my shyness first.....usually takes about an hour & then you'll start wishing for me to shut up.

We are doing a Western Caribbean itinerary this time round.

The number of cruises actually sounds more impressive than it really is. I had wanted to go on a cruise for ages, but DH was not so keen. In November 2007 we bought DVC and were given two years' worth of points and decided to use most of them on a Disney cruise. They were really promoting the 5 night Special Cruise on the Magic so we decided to go for this. When we rang to make the booking, we were told that the cruise was fully booked. So we ended up booking a 4 night cruise on the Wonder for a few days later. In May I was browsing the cruise forum on here and there were a few people discussing if they should book the 5 night Special Cruise. I went straight on the DCL website and sure enough, the cruise had opened up again. We had originally planned a pre-cruise stay at AKL, but had not got around to book it and also had not booked the flights at that time. I had just got a very nice profit share at work and I decided to just book this for us. So we did the 5 night Special Cruise on the Magic first, spent one night on dry land at a hotel near the port and then got on the Wonder the next day. So this is two cruises accounted for.

We both loved cruising and DH really wanted to try a different cruise line. I work for an airline and so can get staff rates on hotels, cruises, etc. I had to take some lieu days in May and I saw some really great rates on NCL for a 5 night cruise to Ireland and a 2 night weekend cruise to Guernsey. As I did not think 5 nights would be enough, we booked both of them as a back to back cruise, but strictly spoken they were two cruises. So that is your 4.

Well, I took the plunge and bought my bracelet this weekend, well my kind hubbie did! I also got three charms: the suitcase (for my love of holidays), the ghost (for my love of DLP at halloween), and a football ( as Notts County are going to win the league this year ). I can see this is going to be an expensive hobby!

 

[dolphingirl47]

Welcome to the club! Yes, it is an expensive hobby and a lot of us are on at least the second bracelet by now. The good thing is that you can just build it bit by bit.
