Glad you got back in ladies!

Deb, thanks for your help earlier with the REAS info too!

Here's hoping the 90 day booking goes as well (yeah right....when there are so many more of us....)

.

I booked 3 Palos, 1 excursion and 1 spa for a total of 5 things and it took me 30 minutes to do so. I'm glad that's done. I'm glad I was able to do it early and avoid the rush.

I think you're going to have some problems on Friday 6/13 at midnight. We had a few tonight and there wasn't that many of us booking. Fortunately, we were able to go right back to it and get it booked on the second try.

 

[LyndaC]

Remember, I'm a DCL newbie, and I've been sweating over this all week.

Here's what I reserved.

Monday Palo Brunch 11:30

Tuesday mud wrestling 5pm

Wednesday Palo Dinner 6pm Sun should be setting about 30 minutes later

Thursday Tea

Friday, parasailing 10:30 am

Hopefully I managed to leave time open for the various tastings that I think we'll want to partake of.

You are so welcome....and thank you for hanging out with us tonight. I enjoy your company.

I'll check in here when it's your turn to book too, so I can see how it's going for all of you. Just be persistent. They won't keep you holding in limbo for a long time. They will just spit you out and tell you.....cannot process now. Then you can try again.

Lynda, you did great. But I have to ask, what is mud wrestling???

 

[ibouncetoo]

Lynda, have you parasailed before? It's WONDERFUL and especially nice to do it at Castaway Cay with that lovely view.

A sunset Palo dinner sounds lovely.

AND....did you know, there will be a full moon on Castaway Cay day. So we all need to try and save some time for a post dinner stroll around the deck (get that packing done early).

.

 

[LyndaC]

Mud wrestling = Exotic Rasul couples spa time alone in a room with colored muds and oils for 50 minutes...

 

[EllaEnchanted]

I'm not going to bother with it tonight, but tomorrow I'm going to try signing up online for check in. Hopefully I'll be able to get that done and out of the way too.

A full moon on CC day....a deck stoll sounds divine. We always get our packing done before dinner. So we should be good to go.

Now that sounds like an ADVENTURE! You'll have so much fun.

Congrats to everyone who was successful last night with your bookings.

Just a word for everyone else, whether booking at the 90 day mark or the 75 day mark, keep in mind that you can always make changes on the ship, at least regarding Palo.

While it may mean queuing up a bit, it can be done. I've sailed a few times and have made changes onboard, so no worries, no fretting.

 

[CustardTart]

Is Karen awake yet???

Its early morning for her. At least its only 9pm for me here

T minus 10 minutes...

...Wonder if Kaz is booking now?

Well, I slept through the alarm and didn't come round till 6am (1am your time) BUT I staggered downstairs and somehow (my brain was mush!) managed to get online and book the following...

Day 2: Well Being Massage for Richard @ 2pm...
Day 4: Tour to Virgin Gorda @ 12.30pm AND Palo Dinner @ 8pm...
Day 5: Skyride to Paradise Point - all day...
Day 6: Palo Brunch @ 11.30am AND Exotic Rasul @ 5pm...
Day 7: Parasailing @ 9.30am AND Watercraft Ski Adventure @ 3pm...

BRING IT ON!!!

 

[ibouncetoo]

10 minutes till my TA opens and I can pay off my share of the cruise!

Must go send an e-mail to big sis with all the pertinent info so she can pay off her share.

Congrats to ALL who got their Reeses


I unfortunately, will have to be among the "others" who will have to wait and hope and pray and beg for anything on the 13th/14th

 

[Evette]

Thanks everyone for the . I look forward to getting to know you.

I'm glad you all were able to get the ressies you wanted, that's great! I'll have to wait and see what happens 75 days out on June 29th. I don't think I'll be trying to book Palo for dinner since my husband is a very picky eater and I'm not sure if he would enjoy it. I think maybe the brunch though....we'll see. Not sure of our excursions at this point, probably nothing with a lot of walking as DD Kellie doesn't walk long distances well. Do you have any suggestions?

Have a geat day!

 

[rotary2808]

I can't believe some of you had trouble last night. I had all four of our ressies done in maybe 10, 15 minutes at the most. I think it's the smoothest it's ever gone. I hope it's that smooth when I book for the Baltic next year because I'll have a lot more stuff to book.

 

[EllaEnchanted]

Kathe, Stacy and Vicki.....I booked Palo high tea for Mon 9/14 a day at sea at 3pm. I called DCL today and asked to get a table for four on that ressie. They told me that since I'm not linked yet with anyone and only travelling with a party of two....my ressie is for 2 people. So after we link our dinners.....she said I can go back online, keeping the same ressie but just change it to four instead of two. So that's what I'm going to do. You all don't have to do anything. Just show up for tea at Palos. I'll edit my ressie after we're linked. It's all good.

You got real lucky Em....but it was only a slight glitch....easily correctible.

Does Kellie like water? A nice beach day would be good.
