I normally do a OBC for my clients...I was hoping since I was going to be on the ship I could do something really nice...have a little bit of time...thanks for the suggestions!

Hi there!

No difficulty driving in Aruba except that they do not have many street signs so it was difficult to figure out where we were.

My sister lives in Chandler..we were just there 2 weeks ago. Took my DD to see the new Legoland Aquarium.

My sister will be joining us for the 2 night only.

Were on the PC cruise as well ... were in Mesa (next to Chandler).

She doesn't live there any longer...she moved in August back to California..but I loved your area..just to hot!

Well..this week has been SM gift shopping! I love when I find the just perfect gift!

I love trying to match up gifts with my SM likes! We are just over 3 months away and the get-ready stress is starting to kick in and it is seeming so very real!

This weekis list making! Time to start figuring out what we are taking and start planning accordingly..once December hits with the holidays...I want to be as done as possible.

We have accomplished the gifts for our SM's!

This weekend was productive in the SM department... all gifts for our SM have been purchased. Now I just have t hope that I don't find another "perfect gift"

No lists have been done but I did add my excursions to my "wish list" on the cruise site.. 2 1/2 more days and I can book them! We will not be booking any Palo since we will be having brunch on our 2 night portion.

I have found the perfect box to start adding things into - just have to make room for it in my bedroom and start adding!

3 months from yesterday - we will be arriving in Florida for our adventure. Thinking about the plane makesme anxious and just typing this out makes my stomach hurt - I do not do well at flying..one happy thought it that I get to come home by cruise ship!

Pixie,

I sent you a private message in case you sign on soon.

I got it! thanks! I wish they were offering it on the 2 night

Well..thanks to an awesome fellow cruiser - I learned that CM discounts came into effect for the PC cruise...

We went from a Navigator Verandah to a GTY 5C but I am hoping for pixie dust that we will not be forward on the ship.

We saved a huge amount of money and I couldn't believe it! They are paying our gratuities too!

Nice upgrade and saving money to boot! Maybe I should retire and then go to work for Disney, it sure would help my pocketbook.

This is the nicest discount we have ever gotten! Very excited....I would say we might still end up neighbors but I know the cabin on the other side of you is taken!

 

[JenKatt]

Thank you for posting about the discount. We saved a boatload for my brother. It's a VERY generous discount!

 

[firstcruise]

Was anyone able to reserve excursions? It doesn't let me get access to that area, so decided to come on here and see if it's just me or everyone?

Des,

Now this is a b2b that we'd love to do! Too bad we can't rejoin you for another trip through the canal. Enjoy the Walt Suite on the 2-night.

I guess we'll have to just redo the Panama Canal vicariously through your trip report. Unfortunatley, we won't get one of your FE gifts that way though! I know June redid the Canal on another cruise line, but I don't think it was the same for her.

I have to admit when reading your pre-trip report that I was quite surprised that you weren't Gold yet. We DCL novices beat you to it!

Again, looking forward to reading.

Nope! Not Gold yet..LOL... wish we had taken a 3 day last year when we were all in Florida. We should be though considering we have spent 30 days on the ships!

I wish your family were joing us...we would have so much fun!

That is awesome! I wish the FLR offered that. Gratuities are what DH gripes about most with cruising. Congrats on the upgrade and savings!

 

[A Litle Pixie Dust]

Well..it's not much to report but my DD passport arrived today!

It's one less thing to worry about... I saw on someone's ticker that the PC cruise is now 87 days away... I normally am so on top of things and for some reason..this trip - I just can't quite find my footing! I know it will all come together but it seems like right now...I am thinking in 20 different directions!

Thanks! The last PC cruise - our only perk was the gratuities... after sitting on the phone forever to get "special pricing" it turned out that's what we got. It isn't that I didn't appreciate it -it's just that the pricing tiers went up, up, up while sitting on the phone..so in the end..I think we lost out a little...

Love reading your pre trip report.

We are just recently signed up for this cruise and makes it more exciting to read everyone elses plans

We also got great CM discount (thanks to my dd)
