Sept 18 2010 WB TransAtlantic Pirates/Capt Jacks Re-Repoing Repossession Cruise Pt.4

[HallsofVA]

Some good news today. I was able to downgrade our stateroom category from Cat 8GTY to Cat 10GTY and save $1000, while confirming we wouldn't lose the additional $100/pp OBC. Every little bit helps!

With the Ducky workshops being charged I'm not surprised. In previous cruises all they have done is the animation class for children and I assume they think there will be lots of call for the adult one. I'm hoping its not too much!

We went to the animation class.....of course we are big kids! It was at Animator's and fun, we drew Mickey.

Does anyone else check every day to see if their stateroom has been assigned yet? I know it's super-early, but I can't seem to stop checking!

It was listed as a family activity on an afternoon. This was a few years ago, things might have changed.

Well done! I'm glad the Cat 10's appearing helped!

I haven't been since 07 mind! I think I probably missed it somewhere along the way!

You guys are very generous. My message did not come out quite as I intended, but I appreciate the sentiment.

I was not sure if there was any group activities planned, and if so are they open to everyone. I was on a cruise once where it was more of a closed event and several folks were insulted or hurt. I try to be careful and considerate of others.

Thanks for the welcome and advice. I will try to be on here more often.

Hello everyone.
Sorry its been such a long time since I posted.
You guys go through the pages at such a fast pace I wouldnt have been
able to keep up. I have looked in from time to time though.

Carl and I have booked one of the Med cruises in May with the money I have saved with quitting smoking (9 months). Anyway we have had to concentrate on that because there are lot of ports and we are trying to decide what to do on a budget !!.

HI Jan

Well done on quitting smoking!

I can believe i've got fellow dis cruisers just down the road from me.

I'm in Reading.!!!

See you on-board.

OK so I'm panicking now! Just filled in our ESTA on laptop and didn't have a printer so thought - well Im sure youll be able to go back in and look. Turns out you can't you can only get the application number and expiry date printed. Do I need the whole application? On the ESTA site its very annoying as it just says "if you didnt print then you need to reapply" but doesn't say if you need the full thing or just the reference number. Surely the people in Immigration can just look up the ESTA number?

Oh and Disney Cruise Line is on the ESTA form for those not sure what to put. There is also a Disney option but went for the cruise line one!

That's fine, as long as you have something. We had to update ours this year with a new address in the US and it's only gave us an update page and we were fine.

All the activities we've thought about so far are in post 7 and trust me anyone can join! I don't think anyone here would have any issues like that - or at least I hope not! Somethings may involve registering in advance but other than that I don't think there's an issue in the slightest!

 

[gismo1554]

Thanks Heather! All this planning is panicking me now lol! Only noticed the name on my flight home was wrong 2 days ago and went into a flap. Now I'm worried about everything (as it is my name doesn't matter according to virgin as it reads Sarahr and my middle name on my passport is Rhiannon so they said it wont matter)

I think you should be OK with what you have. They've never asked for proof before (famous last words!) Don't know what DCL will need at the Port, but perhaps when we get the advance pasenger information screen, we'll know then.

No way will you be the odd one out. I love any excuse to dress up for dinner.
