*Sept 10th 2011 WB Transatlantic* From Spain to Space Mountain - Part 4

[squitty]

Right ok, I am just off the phone again with Head Office and the person spoke to the Manager of the Gibraltar Store - Gary Chance and he has confirmed that they will definitely be open on the 12th September.

I don't know about anyone else but I am still not 100% sure!!!!

Hmmm i'm not convinced either!!!

Maybe we should call again at the end of August & check again, I would imagine they will have the staff working hours on a rota by then so they should know for sure.

Thanks for the Welcome. I have been on a EBTA, but have never sailed on DCL. I am so looking forward to joining all of you.

I repeat:

Oh fickle Morrison's, how you toy with our poor hearts! Why do you treat us so cruelly?

 

[Tubbsteruk]

I've just spoken with Natalie at morrisons head office and she stated that they will definitely be open on the 12th. Ive also spoken with Michelle in Gibraltar and she confirmed the same.
From the way the conversation went it appears they've had a LOT of enquiries.

Woo hoo that's the magical 10. I can now reply to PM's

Hi Karen,

We are in Cat 9A, room# 7512, if you want to add us to the list?

Hi Sue,

Sorry, I'm a bit behind right now. I've got 6 huge proposals for grant funding going in between today and the 21st.

Thanks for the offer. I've got you down for the 9A.

Keri (aka another Karen)

Hi all,

I am still seeking participants for the stateroom tour! Due to the generosity of our thread-mates, I have volunteers for the following categories:

Category 3, 5A, 7A, 9A, 9D, 11A (accessible) and 11A (sideways).

I am still seeking volunteers for the remaining categories. Drop me a note if you can help out!

Karen

[susie2]

can just imagine morrissons manager sitting there thinking how many sales am i missing by closing, all these phone calls we must open lol, bet he is ordering lots of extra booze for the 12th sept

 

[Dgentrysim]

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

NO, NO, NO, NO, NO. THIS IS NOT HAPPENING!!!!

I just spent HOURS yesterday afternoon and this evening getting the FE lists split into sub groups and now the file is GONE. I had already saved it on a USB drive (along with all my other cruise-related files), in fact, I saved it multiple times as I worked on it, just so I wouldn't lose my changes.

I finished it a few minutes ago, went to save it before closing, and my computer make that nasty little "error" noise and gave me some message about a corrupt table (WHAT??), the disk drive door being open (WHAT DOOR?? It's a laptop!) and reinserting the disk before trying again (IT'S A USB - THERE IS NO DISK!!). I've never seen anything like that before.

Then it told me to close and re-open the file using "open and repair," but when I went to open it again - IT WAS GONE!!! I tried a search of the whole computer for the file, but... nothing.

It was finished. Everyone assigned to groups. Extra spaces for new people. All the counts worked out - people per group, multiple list people, everything within everyone's requested limits... and it's gone.

I think I need some chocolate. Or scotch.

Pat...I'm so sorry! How horrible! I think this calls for a chocolate scotch smoothie with a double shot of vodka! I've lost so many things here at work because I have "encountered an error". UGH!!

Yes Sue but imagine if only 10 or so of us turned up

 

[susie2]

dont think that is going to happen, or they could put up a closed sign then hide and watch us all turn up with our cases lol,

 

[DISNEYFAN_SD]

Hi there,
I am sailing with you on the WBTA, I have done several crusies, one EBTA last year but not on DCL. I am going solo, flying from Chicago to Barcelona on the 7th. Do you know of anyone who is looking for a room mate for a couple of days before the cruise. I am a retired Airline employee so have booked through my pass department. I have not been assigned a cabin yet, but its Cat. 5 balcony. My DD clued me in to the theard, it had not crossed my mind. I only booked a few days ago. I am getting soooo excited.

Welcome!!

I too am from the Chicago Suburbs...I live in Frankfort, but i'm moving to Orlando one of these days when my house sells (DH is already there). When are you flying on the 7th? That is also when I leave, from O'hare. I am solo as well, DH has no interest in cruising for 2 weeks...his loss!!

Thanks, Pat
