If you wish to be a part of the cruise list, I need info from the following people:
Susan514
LLight
NSMguy
Kindler5

Just e-mail me you names, cabin #, Childrens ages, and excursions.

The list will be handed out at the sailaway party (deck 10, forward) and/or the wine party (Sunday @ 2pm, deck 7, aft, secret deck).
 
Just to get everyone in the mood, wanted to tell you that my daughter just called and she was standing in line to get her Palo ressies. Soon we will be doing that, too.
 
Okay, just read a post of some people on the 10/27 cruise getting their docs. I need my doc fix now!!!

Decided to rent DH a tux for the cruise. Never seen him in one. Had a small wedding & he wore a suit. Now I'm thinking DS (4) needs one. You can buy a new one on ebay for around $35. Anyone know of any cheaper?

Beth
 
Don't know of any cheaper but when my DS was 4 he was in my sister's wedding and wore a black tux -- OMG!!!!!!!!!! They are soooooooo CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'd say go for it!!!!
 

Well, I now have my flight information anyway. It took 3 calls and ELEVEN people before getting it! My TA kept pointing to DCL, and DCL kept pointing to my TA. I knew that it's the TA's job to tell me what the flight info was, but they kept saying that since they didn't book it, DCL did, that I would have to call them for it, back and forth, back and forth. Uuuggghhhh! Finally, a DCL person was SO SWEET, (although, she was looking right at my info and couldn't tell me) she made a conference call to my TA with me, and explained to them just what they are supposed to be doing for their customer, (that's what the commission is for...) etc. So I'm given a special phone number to call back to the TA with, and that person would call DCL and get it. Still with me here? I call that number, get transferred 3 more times... Air desk -- " Well, since it is air info you want, that was attached to a cruise you want the cruise desk"
Cruise desk -- "This is the cruise desk, we don't deal with air issues. I'll transfer you to the air desk" Etc. FINALLY, someone there called DCL, was told my flight numbers (4 of them) and relayed the info to me. Jeeez.
All so that I could get seat assignments, before it was a situation of our family of 4 being spread out in 3 different parts of the plane (again- story on page 8). I call Delta, they have my name on those flight numbers (YES) and low and behold, the seat assignments were already made and we're all sitting together! DCL said they do not make seat assignments, and the TA certainly hadn't lifted a finger. What EVER. It's done. It's good to know the info now. My husband has decided to put in for another half day off, Thursday night, (he works nights and gets home at 2am) as we now know that we'll be getting up at 4am Friday to begin our tour of these beautiful United States. We get to visit Georgia on the way and Texas on the way back! What an adventure! LOL I'll make that fun for the kids if it kills me! LOL

No docs, but at least I'll make it to Florida! I gotta be happy with *that*! :D
 
Oh my goodness that would have been frustrating! Glad you
at least know what flights you are on. Bet you are ready to
hurt your TA!

My bunch leaves via Aerostar 3 weeks from today. I am soooo excited but I am at the point now that I am waking up in the middle of the night thinking of stuff I need to take care of. Now mind you 90% of my Christmas is bought and wrapped. I am a detail person. I just feel like I am going to forget something!!!

The Lime Green T shirts arrived today!!!! Now all I have to do is get design approval from the other Dudettes and I'll be ironing away!!! Can you tell I'm excited? My poor cat!

Re: On board credit. Sore subject with me. Booked last Dec. within the 180 day period of my last cruise thinking we would get the credit. Dudette #2 had called prior re Castaway CLub and was told yes we were members. Never got a number or cards or anything. I called in Aug. and asked about it since it never showed on any documents. I was told they didn't do that anymore. Here I was thinking all along we had it, followed the rules but apparently since they don't do it anymore we are out of luck. Should I write a letter to someone? Shouldn't they honor the initial deal they had when I booked?

Enough griping! I can't wait. Continued packing before work today. I should say Over-packing.

How come everyone has the same names on this cruise. It can get VERY CONFUSING:confused:

Can't wait to meet all!
 
I know it should be "they're here". How embarassing. And all the others in the past posts. DUH! Maybe call me Dopey Dudette?
 
The Dudettes in lime green t-shirts? I don't know about this. Just wait until Joyce (Dudette #3) hears about this one. Bonnie (Dudette #1) gets very obsessive about things including the three Dudettes all in LIME GREEN:eek: :eek: :eek:

I am working every day this week so I will not have time to read all the postings but will try to catch up on Monday. Maternity in South Jersey is VERY BUSY!

Everyone stay accident free, healing & healthy. The clock is ticking down!!!!!:Pinkbounc Yea!!!!
 
I told you I would come out of the lurker closet!!

4 WEEKS:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

We leave in 4 weeks for Orlando, needless to say the excitement is building. Still, waiting for docs and wondering why so many people have received their's on cruises after ours:o :o :o

Is anyone else watching all the hurricane's that are developing? I sure would be nervous if I was getting onboard this week.

(Shhhh, Sandy's daughter is on right now;) ) Actually, Savanho Sandy's daugher called her (I'm gossiping about you now, Sandy) from the Wonder yesterday, and they were delayed leaving and she said there were helicopters all around! Maybe that was why. It must have turned out to be nothing, or we would have heard about it here for sure!

4 weeks! Oh my Gosh! When you put it that way, it freaks me out. I really should stop talking about it, and actually get my act together here!:p
 
My goodness, Lori. You sure gossip early in the day. As you know, I posted the late departure to see if anyone knows. Hurricanes, did anyone say Hurricanes????? Honestly, I haven't heard a thing. Good news is, she is on the Wonder and will be off on Sunday. NOT BEFORE HER SATURDAY STAY AT CASTAWAY CAY, however. The little BRAT! OHHHHHH, do I see a little green eyed monster in me?
 
4 weeks!!!!! yea!!!!!!!!!!! I LIKE the sound of that!!!!! My DH (Greg) is actually talking about this cruise to everyone! Last time he was along for the ride -- had such a great time he added on to our DVC as a surprise for me and can hardly wait till this one!!!!

No docs yet but I know they'll get here. Lori - glad to know they haven't lost you! and you WILL be joining us! (what a pain in the neck for you ~~ glad you FINALLY got your info)

DD#2 - guess all those New Years Babies are starting to arrive!! You'll need a vacation after that rush!

Don't discuss hurricanes -- if one is around we'll just cruise somewhere else -- can park it in the ocean as far as I care! ;) ;)

Actually Oct 2000 we had GREAT weather!!

Happy day all :cool: :cool: :cool:
 
Good morning! We leave 3 weeks from today!!!!!!!! I can't wait. Work is driving me crazy.

What a horrible mess with the airline situation! I hate flying, too many hassels. We love to get out on the open road and drive.

We have cruised in October several times. Last October, there was a tropical storm near Bermuda, but it stirred up the bathtub. As long as I am on the ship, and we don't stop in Nassau, I don't care where we go!

1 more day of work this week and I am off for 4 days. My back needs a break! The 1st week of October is going to be a horrible week. I wish it was over.
 
Good Morning everyone. Woooo Hooo another day closer!

Denine what kind of work do you? I take escalated calls
for an Insurance company. Once the customer service reps
can no longer handle them I get them. Or if someone wants
a supervisior. So when I say I am ready for a vacation, I mean it!!

Tonight we go shopping for new makeup for the girls. They are wanting Lancome for the cruise. I use the Lancome and make them use mabeline( heehee)

Cat scratches are almost healed. All but the deep one by my
eye. That one will probably stick around for a while.

Barb, I am a nurse. I work with Alzheimer's patients. I have a bad back (Spinal fusion at the age of 17). I have been on the "other side" this week because the fulltime nurse didn't know the meds or people very well on my side. Her side is more physically demanding, and I worked more this week than I usually do.
 
There are lots of nurses on this board! What a challenging career! Don't think I could do it. I bet it is rewarding as well as
heartbreaking. Cheers to you!
Now I know where I am going if I get sick on the ship! ;)

Just for fun, I was tallying up approx. how many people we have in this bunch and I became nervous. I think when we have the wine party we possibly could tip the boat. Wow, there is a lot of us. Should be fun!
 
So what is the tally so far?

Broke down today and bought really cute nice dresses for the girls for formal night! Thought we'd save the costumes for semi-formal since that is also the Princess night (at least it was 2 years ago). I know Greg is going to have a cow BUT they were half price and will most definately fit them next summer too! I'm so excited !!!!!!!
