OK people.....deep breath.....

There are a lot of us booking TABLES for 2....hence availability for a small table vanished quickly. Clusters of friends will most likely be upping table size on one of their reservations and probably small tables will become available.

Also, do keep checking as time goes on, as plans change.

Does DCL release more spaces for the next round of booking? Or do they just hold some back for booking on the ship?

Excellent! Yes, I was hearing stories about your shopping, decisional turmoil escapades today while having ice cream! I don't think you should even question the hat boxes, some of us- Can't WAIT to see you and stand in line for photo ops!

We'll have 3 hats each (more if you count baseball caps), the new ones I ordered today, well, even I'm speechless. Let me just say that I think even Jackie will be surprised.

Good question. I'm not sure, because I haven't booked as a non-CC member for a while.

I am certain that they hold back some slots for booking on the ship.

Well, I loved the original hat idea....so now you've got me wondering....

Hey.. does anyone know... Are we getting the fuel fees back as an onboard credit?

Doesn't look like it, oil hit $70 about a week ago. But we'll know for sure around the 17th or 18th of this month

Let's just say that it's the original idea that has been "plussed" a bit as Uncle Walt would say.

 

[iankh]

OK, and now I must go to bed. I'm working in the morning. I have to wake up and weigh people and lead 3 meetings.

Will there be any preview photos?

GoodNight Ian.....sweet Mickey dreams to you and Sukie.

I'll be standing in line to get my picture with you two. I can't wait to see what you're up to this time.....so much fun!

Well, they tell us that more are released with each of the three on line booking windows. But definately spaces are held back for boarding day.

Same genre?

How did you do with your bookings Jackie? Were you able to get everything you wanted?

The the clustering happen before the cruise? I'll keep checking. Going solo so I just need a little space in a corner.

Not exactly, but will be able to tweek on the ship. We should be good.

Most importantly we were both able to book Palo dinner for Thursday night, as that is the night we had chosen for the 'official' birthday/wedding/retirement celebrations. So I'm a very happy camper.

I got the 9:45am Tortola Dolphin Adventure for Di and I....is anybody else doing this?

Oh, I'm so glad that you got the most important things done. Thank goodness. You can always check onboard to get everything later. Good Job!

Good night all!

I'm going to toddle off to slumberland shortly too. I have to go into the office for four hours tomorrow to work a 'phone bank'. I may show up in my jammies! At lest I'll be getting overtime for it...so that's more cruise money.


Next vacation planning step: put together a suggested dining list for WDW for my brother-in-law and encourage them to make at least a couple of ADRs for their post cruise stay. Their 90 day window is one week from now. He enjoys different/ethnic foods and I just don't want to see him having to live off of counter service. Free dining pretty much makes ADRs mandatory (at least a couple anyway).

 

[DisneyRN1]

Ouch - that's very sad... were you the one in Acapulco who broke their wrist? I believe I heard that story - how is it now btw? Better I hope.

Hi,
Yes, I was the one. It's doing better, still have some restricted movements, but I had a great dr, and a wonderful occupational therapist who
specialized in hands and wrists.

Yes, but shall say embellished. Tasteful of course (though with us, even I'm beginning to wonder what that means).
