Doesn't DCL ask you to keep your doors closed? (unless you've also turned your A/C off.) Curious to see all the open doors. How neat to see her!

Actually, I believe there's a switch that turns off the A/C whenever the door is opened.

See you there!

So glad you'll be joining us at the Tonga Room next Friday. Valerie

Oh, my goodness, Yes, we need to get a game plan! I will be happy to order a couple dozen plastic tiaras like the ones Deb Falbusch used a couple years ago...she gave me the website.
Don't spend a lot of money on them....it's just for fun....unless you already have one of course!

Could I please be included. It sounds like a lot of fun. Thanks, Trudy

we are still getting 4 - I will be sending you paypal in the next day or two.


Krisann

Thanks for letting us now that you still want them.

Bonjour!! Long time no chat from me (not many of you though!). I missed you all!! I didn't have much of a chance go get on-line last week while I was at Grandmother's, which means >60 pages to catch up on. *sigh*

As a result of being off-line, I worked on a lot of cruise-related tasks in the past week! Some of my accomplishments included but was not limited to buying my tiara, finishing my primary FE gifts, making door magnets (although I think I'm going to make one more), and papercrafting my scrapbook embellishment exchange gifts. My mom is graciously making me a "Hawaiian dress" from some fabric I found for $2.50/yard, so she fitted me for that last week, too. I also put together (another) spreadsheet that will come in handy when I'm ready to distribute FE gifts, postcards, etc. Hopefully this week I'll finalize some more things!

Lots on the plate for this week, but I'll try to stay more connected with you all this week.

PS: I'm LOVING the countdown ticker saying "1 month and ## days"!!!

....Yeah... and tell the family staying in lifeboat #7 the same thing!!!

Here's what their sleeping quarters looks like.

(Hotel to Port Transportation)
Thank you. Can you put this info on Page one? I know we will pay very very soon, but it still will get lost quickly!!!

Maybe Paula could put a link to Stephen's instructions in her post on Page 1 regarding the hotel(s) to port transportation post.

Stephen, THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH for taking the time to organize this for us!!! I'm off to make a payment now!

Champaign Girls - I don't have a pink Tiara - can I just wear my princess one? And I looked for a boa today at WalMart - nothing. Target - nothing. Michaels - $18... so I think I have to pass on that as well... Any other ideas??

Party City or Dollar Tree

 

[vakamalua]

Pardon me if this was already discussed. Will the pillowcase/t-shirt, etc. signing by the characters be available on this cruise? We have given them as gifts and would like to do it again.

Thanks,
Andrea

See you there!

Yeah Johanna's going...I'll be there too

Welcome back to the fun! Boy you certainly did get a lot done. Can you help the rest of us now . . .LOL. Way to go!

I am thinking about doing the 2 am laundry night on night 4 - I know I will have laundry then. I will send out more details when I get my cabin number! If anyone else wants to organize wash nights for other nights let me know - I will keep a list of them and submit them for the navigator if there is room!

Krisann

Hubby has been saving his quarters for laundry. Does anyone know if they are still using quarters in the laundry machines on board or are they now on our key cards. After the EB REPO they were suppose to replace the machines. They were in bad shape on deck 2, but that was two years ago.

Thanks!

I don't see why not. It was available last time.

Hi Connie,
I just send payment to Noel for 2 pins.

Thank You,

Self serve laundry takes the KTTW card.

We were waving at you!



The weather on the EBTA this year was great almost all the time - I did take a pill one day - but nothing like I guess it was in 2007. I think it all has to do with the weather at the time and there is no way to predict that! We sailed in dec. 2007 and had the worst cruise in regards to the rocking of the boat - even the crew said it was worse than the EBTA in 2007 - so I knew if I survived that one I could survive anything!

as for warm clothing on the cruise - here is what I ended up doing on the EBTA - I brought all kinds of warm clothes "just in case" and here was the thing - on the sea days we were inside most of the time and wore shorts/capris and short sleeve shirts as the ship inside is kept at a degree where having shorts on was very comfortable. So if you normally are cold inside the ship when you sail - do what you would normally do - the only night I wore some layers was Pirate Night on deck to watch the fireworks. so if you like to spend evenings out on the deck - bring some warmer clothes (or as others do - just use a blanket (DCL laid them out for use at quiet cove - even during the days when it was a little cooler - still I was in shorts, and then just got a blanket) I took way too many just in case clothes - this time we each will have a pair of jeans, long thin underwear (small and easy to pack) and a sweatshirt type jacket - we can then layer. Oh and we will have our winter jacket but thy are from lands end and are thin like a t-shirt and roll up to fit into a half gallon ziplock bag -- yet are rated down to 22f - but we are bringing those more for our Austria trip than the cruise. I will not be overpacking the "warm" clothes this time - what I will do is bring a little extra money incase we want a sweatshirt from the cruise.

Hope that makes sense - sorry for the rambling

Krisann

Great points, Krisann. Considering we get back to the states on Oct 2, it may be chilly getting off the plane at home, too.

I had not thought of bringing a sweatshirt for on deck. I always need one and forget it. My youngest will be wishing he had one, too.

Thanks for the reminder

Thank you for sending the money.

PACKING REMINDER FOR NON-EUROPEANS STAYING IN BARCELONA....

Don't forget to pack a Europlug Adapter so your electronics and appliances such as hairdryers can be plugged in at your hotel.​

We've had a fab day. Travelled down to Dover....The Magic looked so lovely! I have lots of photos ....

I did see your pics on FB, and they were very exciting! I'm sure you were just overjoyed! My friends Danielle and James are on this cruise. I hopped over to their Meets thread and saw that Heather (GOS) posted pictures that she took as well. You were so close to seeing her!

It is in post 11 of this thread


Stephen

Oh thanks, Stephen!

THAT'S IT!!! I hear it has a good view...

When I read that, I was thinking to myself that I was SURE it was "lucky" lifeboat #7 that I took a picture of last time I was on the Magic!

....Will the pillowcase/t-shirt, etc. signing by the characters be available on this cruise?...

Certainly! Just drop it off at Guest Services as you have before.

I'm still debating what I want signed. I think I want a photo mat signed by only the Princesses as well as a cookbook. Still undecided though.

Welcome back to the fun! Boy you certainly did get a lot done. Can you help the rest of us now . . .LOL. Way to go!

Great to see you posting again! Ummm....other than me offering some encouragement, you are on your own to check those action items off the list! I still have plenty to keep me busy!

 

[Buckeye Gal]

Did anyone else see the thread on the main forum board about the change in CD? One person said she heard that on the 9/8, it was going to be Brent, but this leaves that up for questioning.

HAYLEY.....we might be calling on your DH for our fix afterall!

Just got back from the 7/6 Baltic on the Magic. So sad it's over!

Peter was our CD, he wasn't terrible, but we missed Brent. We were wondering where he was since he was scheduled to be on the Magic. Still not sure why he wasn't working, but he boarded the ship in Stockholm and was around as a guest for the last three days of the cruise. He resumed his role as CD today, I was told, and will remain CD for the rest of the summer.
