Sept. 11, 2011 It's never too early to Dream

I think I need just two more posts to get this to the next page, so here's one along with a graphic for FIRST CRUISE should anyone be on their first Cruise. For anyone who wants it, I can personalize it with your Family name if you would like

You are so talented....thanks for sharing your gifts.

CHOCOLATE? Who Said CHOCOLATE? Well I'm glad some people like Chocolate! My FE's have SOMETHING to do with that. I meant to go small, but ended up going BIG, forgetting for a moment I was FLYING not driving.
If anyone can't figure that out, tough, my lips are now sealed, I won't say another word on the matter except that I'm sure you'll love my FE Gifts

I'll take them from anywhere
Dee

I too want to vegaangel82 and family to the cruise. You are going to have a GREAT time on board the Dream with everyone. We have a wonderful group here and if you have any questions please ask away. We will be glad to help.

Thank you so much! How sweet of you! This is so exciting meeting people ahead of time! We can hardly WAIT!!!

Here's how I myself prefer to do the magnets and I find it less costly than the magnetic paper:

I print onto carstock via my own computer. I then have them laminated (I use Staples Business Depot for this). Then I cut self adhesive magnet sheets to the size I want and stick them on the backs of my laminated graphics. I find these magnet sheets at the local Dollarama, they are thick and work wonderfully.

If you would rather use the magnetic printer paper, you can get that from most any stationary department or store. Staples sells them, I think our Wallmart does too.

Our GTY status now has a stateroom assignment. The stateroom doesn't have the best reviews (2 of them) but it doesn't have the worst either. THe most important issue to me is that it at least has the proper number of beds! (unlike the room we were initially given for the 2nd half of our cruise) So all of you with GTY rooms, keep checking that status!

We dont get to find out ANY details until the week before at our Make a Wish send off party! SO anxious to find out everything!!!

Thanks JustTJ for the info, I think I will do it your way sounds more cost savvy to me! Thank again!

DW and I received our luggage tags and all cruise documents in the mail today!!! Did anyone else!!! Go check that mail box right now!!! Don't just sit there............go now and check your mail box!!! There just might be a surprise for you in there!!!

 

[Teri1]

How exciting for you David!! I had just got through telling my DH that our AAA TA should be calling us next week to pick up our cruise documents. Getting this close is so exciting!!!!

 

[GetGlowing]

Ours came today, too!

Getting awfully close now ...

 

[Aburns8]

Our documents came today as well!

MANY of us have been getting our cruise documents this week. Tim's and mine arrived yesterday, but Sheri who shares our reservation, hasn't gotten hers yet. Most of the GTY status rooms have been doled out too now, AWESOME!!

David, have your heard what happened yesterday with the new Port times? We will have to wait till about 10:45 or later to get onto terminal property (that includes the parking garage). I found out what I had wanted to know, partly about our rental car agency. THEY got a note from DCL saying not to shuttle people over till 11:00 (but yesterday they went at 10:50 and all was well). So there will be no one lining up outside, they weren't allowing it, BUT they also weren't turning people away who arrived before their online checkin arrival time. Though I'm not worried about that since we had the earliest time anyway. But it seems that you walk right into the terminal at 11, check in, do the security photos and within the half hour boarding starts! Characters are still in the terminal, no crowds, no lineups. Sounds peachy to me. But with the 9a.m. rental dropoff, I don't know still if I'll be charged more if I drop off at 10:30 instead, otherwise we'll just be hanging out at the rental agency. I really don't mind but don't want to be charged another full day rental as I was kind of told today by a budget person via email if I drop off 90 minutes later than I'm supposed to. She didn't answer my first question though. Since we aren't picking the car up till 12 or 12:30 on the Saturday, then I shouldn't be charged anything extra till AFTER 12 or 12:30 on the Sunday right? And since we'd be returning it if not at 9, then at 10:30, so I'm still within that 24 hour period right. It just seems I got a special deal because I was renting the car for LESS than 24 hours.
We've got time to figure this out though.

Car rental places shouldn't charge you an extra day if you drop off by 12pm or what time the car rental place your renting from states it in the contract , when you rented the car did they ask what time you were going to drop it off? You can call and ask for a later drop off time and if it's before 12 you should be fine.

No Judy, I haven't heard anything how it went yesterday with the new port times. But if what you say is true, sounds like it should go pretty smooth. I hope so anyways.
I agree with you on your returning your rental car. As long as you turn it in with in the 24 hour period you have from pickup to return, you shouldn't be charged any extra. But, I would get that cleared up before the cruise. The rental agency may have a set time for pickup and return..........I don't really know. Haven't rented a car for a few years now.

We just got our cruise documents today as well! I can't handle this excitement!!!

[zippyzo]

Hi all
We got our cruise documents either monday or tuesday I can't remember but I did make my dad open them and tell me what was in them over the phone. Makes it all seem so much closer now. Hope the rest of you who haven't got your yet get yours soon

 

[Shannon1984]
