Sept 18 2010 WB TransAtlantic Pirates/Capt Jacks Re-Repoing Repossession Cruise Pt.5

[tinker1bell]

My waitlist came through!!!

So now we have our villa for two nights after the cruise.

We can now purchase our MNSSHP tickets for Sunday. We can decide where to eat Saturday and Sunday. We can start looking for Southwest flights to go on sale to return home.

This was the last unknown. Now we have a villa at the Boardwalk. I've never stayed there so it goes along in my idea of staying at all of the DVC resorts.

We can boat or walk to EPCOT on Saturday. Eat ourselves crazy. Ride Soarin' a couple of times. See Captain EO. I wanna do breakfast at Cat Cora's place. Also want to try Jellyrolls. Also want to go to Kimonas sushi bar.

I want to get coffee in the morning and take some panoramic photos of the boardwalk area in the early sunlight. I want to walk across the little bridge and get ice cream from Beaches and Cream.

I want to watch the first half of the Eagles/Redskins game at the ESPN club.

I want to go to the party!! I wanna see the Boo To You parade! I wanna see the headless horseman. I wanna get candy!

I should cheer up shouldn't I???

I wanna, I wanna, ... You don't want much do you????? We sound busier for those two days than the cruise!!!

But we do love the Food & Wine and I wanna just eat my way around the worlds!!

Hi everyone, just trying to catch up with you chatty people after a week off the boards. My dd has been in hospital and we've had a pretty dreadful time (as some of you know) so the cruise has been all that's kept us going!

A couple of quick questions....

The tasters.......could Mark and I do the wine & martini tasters please? And MArk would like to do the beer one too, thanks

Will put you down for the beer tasting Mark. Hope your DD is recovered from her spell in hospital. Sorry to hear she has been unwell

Something I just can't understand at all. Hopefully the person wasn't ill though.

Back from my mini cruise so appologies for so many replies in one go

Was it you who advised me to go to baldwin hotel? I cant mind, I loved Ca.

On a another note, please dont laugh,, what kind of pillows do they have on the magic?
I was away for the weekend and forgot how much I hate feather pillows, also is brent going to be our cruise director?

Lynne I can't remember but I am going to contact them to ask as I can't use Feather pillows because they upset my asthma. On the cruise this week they had Buckwheat pillows which were like sleeping on a bean bag lol!

I waited to join this cruise meet thread until we were PIF which happened today. We signed up for this cruise way back on opening day Oct. 2008, but didn't want to jinx anything by writing about it too soon. On this cruise it will be myself, DH, DD-13, DD-9. We are beyond excited to take this trip. My DH and I have travelled before, but we have never done anything like this as a family. See you in Barcelona!

Congrats! Glad you could join us!

I am travelling on business this week in Tampa, Florida, and staying at the Westin where my company has a negotiated block of rooms. I stay here enough that I have gold status at the Westin hotels. But tonight, I had the most bizarre experience that I have ever experienced.

I arrived back at my hotel shortly after 5pm this evening. I walked into my room, and noticed that my cell phone charger was no longer plugged in at the desk where I left it this morning. In fact, the entire desk was cleared off of my notes, and extra bottles of water I had staged for the week. Then I turned around, and realized that my eyeglasses and eyeglass case were also gone. A check of the bathroom revealed that all of my toiletries, brushes, alarm clock, contact lens solution and case, and crossword puzzle book were also missing. Only my clothes and suitcase stored in the closet remained in my room but the rest of my stuff was completely cleared out!

So I called down to the front desk asking about my stuff, and they had to go investigate what had happened. They finally found my toiletry bag, with most of my things stuffed inside. However, my travel alarm clock, open bottle of saline solution (that was sitting on the counter,) one cap to my contact lens case, and my pen were all missing and have not been located. I assume they were thrown away, and the alarm clock was either stolen by the housekeeper packing the stuff (though she reports never seeing it), or by someone who had access to where my bag was taken after being removed from my room.

The hotel manager apologized several times, and said they are investigating the matter. They have no idea why the housekeeper thought I'd checked out, when all of the systems, and all of the evidence, appeared to clearly indicate the room was occupied. They fact that my key still worked indicated that they didn't check me out at all so none of the story makes sense.

The hotel went out and bought me a new contact lens kit, and have offered to replace the alarm clock for me, so I should be "whole" after they make amends. But it's still creepy to feel violated by having someone pack up your stuff and stick it somewhere without your knowledge.

All in all, I was not amused!! Luckily the hotel sets out a Wii each evening for guests to use, so I got my frustrations out on the Wii before dinner and felt somewhat calmer.

Oh my God! That is just creepy!

Does anyone know why we don't arrive at Castaway Cay until 11:45? That's 2 hours later than on a regular Eastern Caribbean trip; the Eastern I looked at left St. Thomas at 3:45 (same time as we leave Tortola) and arrived at CC at 9:45. Just curious if anyone knows. THANKS!

Weirdly initially we had the arrival time at around 9am. There was a rumour - well a theory we came up with that perhaps we are doing a photo op with the Wonder as that would be heading to Nassau that day so we might be meeting up for a welcome back but who knows!

 

[gismo1554]

Well we got some incredible amazing wonderful news today-----we learned from our TA that the prices on the Med portion of our B2B trip were dropped significantly (and I mean like a LOT!!) and that even though we are already paid in full...that DCL is going to refund us the difference!! What was just a downright embarrassingly expensive trip has now been reduced to just being exorbitant!

Eric thats fab news!

 

[gismo1554]

ok - is it just me that can't seem to multi-reply-post? I can't get it to work. And it isn't that I am aiming for part 6 - although we are a chatty group, so maybe we will get there even if I figure out how to multi-reply-post...

happy Friday everyone!

Sue

Sue I can't either! Some days it appears when Im at home but never when Im in work! Its weird

 

[gismo1554]

Hi Everybody! I haven't been on the boards because we cancelled the trip back in January, but we rebooked and so excited! It is just my DD (13) and I. My DH couldn't get that much time off, that is why we originally cancelled but we decided just the two of us will go because we were so excited to read about the EB TA. I love the Cinco de Mayo table and Becca's outfit and beyond that I have not read, but I am sure a lot is happening.

We have our travel through Disney so we do not arrive in Barcelona until Saturday morning. I would like to be on the FE list again, but if that is too late, I understand. I am going to go back to Page 1 and read the first thread with all the info. I look forward to meeting everyone!!!!

Welcome back! All the posts on page 1 have the latest details on I believe!

Thank you for the welcome!

I have logged into the transatlantic pirates website and my computer is telling me that it is down - is anybody else having this problem?

Tonight I am having dinner at Old Key West with Ann and Albert so they will fill me in on everything that I missed.

Site is working today but not sure if it was down yesterday!

This crossed my mind, but then I think they will all be together when the dream arrives and thought, no.but it would be cool.
Sarah, how as your mini cruise???? did I miss you talking about it?

It was kind of a last minute thing with Mum and Lindsay. It was fab! We went from Cardiff to Southampton and I feel so knackered from it lol! Wish the weather had been better but hey you can't get everything!

Oh and as yet no answer to pillows but will keep you posted!
