September 12, 2009 ~ Last Call for Tortola! Thread 2

[CustardTart]

I wanted to talk to Linda about requesting the same rotation and dining area for the assorted DIS tables on late seating too. I'm pretty sure that's a task she's handled before also.

What rotation were you guys thinking??? We will be requesting one in a couple of weeks...

YEAH....as soon as Marla takes my money....I can book all of my cruise ressies in TWO weeks. Wow! I am really really getting excited now. I feel like the cruise just got closer.

It's a good feeling isn't it, Deb!!?? I have my last exam on May 28th so it will feel like I've got my life back just back in time!!!

. She introduced me to Daniel who was the high high head honcho .... don't remember his exact title .... for all food and dining.

Oh yes, I know who Daniel is.............sigh



......I'm sorry, what were you saying?

And don't forget the 10pm Cognac Tastings at Cove Cafe...

I knew I was missing something...and I knew YOU would have my back!

Since they are not doing staggared dining, at least right now, I think PLAPLAP would be the best, as it puts you in Luminere's on formal night and Parrot Cay on pirate night...which is kind of fun. The late seating is 8:15PM

ALL REAS AND CONCIERGE LEVEL LATE DINING PEOPLE, PLEASE NOTE! ...if you are wanting to be on the same rotation as fellow DISers.

We have a 12:40 flight on Southwest. I'm looking into options for transport right now. We may not be your first choice of travel companions because we'll have a 7 month old, a 3 yr old, and a nearly 5 yr old with us. If you don't find anyone else, keep us in mind though. My kids are almost always very good.

I will keep you in mind. I have two pretty cranky adults in my party...so that's something consider!

The only photo I was able to find of the every lovely Daniel! It doesn't do him justice! Kathe, do you remember who took this, I may ask them for a zoom and cropped version?

Oh yes Jackie, you are so right....I forgot to mention that Daniel is drop dead georgous. Once you see him, you will never forget him.

I never requested a rotation before. If I book in two weeks do I do it then? Online?

With whom? Do I request it thru DU?

hahaha....look at Kathe's face smiling looking up at him.

You will have DU note it on your reservation. You could have them do it right now, while they are taking care of your REAS. You'll get the "it's just a request" response. After the 90 day mark you will want to 'link for dining' your reservation with whoever you've arranged to share a table with. You should all have the same rotation requested on your reservations.

Then about 30 days out we will do the contact Linda thing and see what's involved in getting a cluster of tables in our requested rotation. I figure there is power in numbers, and if we have many tables requesting the same thing, changes are good they'll block in our group first....ESPECIALLY IF WE HAVE ANY CONCIERGE LEVEL PEOPLE INLUDED IN THE PARTY.

I'm sitting here waiting for the cable people to show up...I'm finally going digital.

Kathe and I were at the table by the bar just outside Cove Cafe (YOU know the one) one day and he stopped and talked to us. Bless her heart, she kept thinking of things to say to keep him around longer...I was tounge tied!

Thank you Jackie. I will email Marla at DU again. She's going to be sick of me on Monday morning. hahaha.

OK...Kathe and Cheri mark that rotation and please request it so we don't have any problems when we link.

I agree 30 days out we'll bombard Linda.

Just wait until you go digital....you'll never go back and you'll wonder how you ever lived without it before. Enjoy!

Well hopefully we'll get to see him again in Sept.

I think a few of you have a crush...

 

[CustardTart]

With whom? Do I request it thru DU?

What we've done before is email the DCL land-based concierge team at 105 days with any requests we might have...

I don't recall having seen this man before - but I need close-ups...

I think that is only applicable if you are in a suite.(One day perhaps!!!)

Otherwise just request from your normal DU agent.

It was the short person behind the camera
