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

[JLSE50]

Unfortunately, no they can't. I'm using the freebie version of Survey Monkey and it's sort of limited in the free version.

Here's what will happen with the names - I have been periodically dumping the responses into a spreadsheet, and after the survey closes at midnight on July 12th, I'll be sending each organizer an email, with their participants and the other info relevant to their event.

An organizer could post a list of names if they want, which might be a good idea.

Do the organizers have the names now or not until July 12?

Is there any way for the unnamed person to realize that his/her post to the survey is the one that was deleted? or for you to figure out that that individual has re-entered the survey and posted the relevant data?

No way for me to know.

Added - I have not passed on any of the names yet to the organizers. To avoid confusion I was going to wait until the 13th.

We're at 52 right now so I've emailed the company to get a quote on 75 (& 100 just in case).

For those of you that have asked about doing this as an FE gift (team)....send me a pm if you're still interested & I'll give you the info (what it'll cost, etc).

 

[mishoe01]

Ian - I'm still thinking about your email & will let you know my 2 cents once I find them

 

[Jennifer48]

I booked this one tonight when I got into work. Then I saw you did the same. Can you say "stalker"?? I knew you could!!

Yay thats awesome! Did you book the same time too?

.........jennifer....are they OK?.........

Depends on the day just kidding. We joke around about stalkers because we met on our last cruise and literally everywhere one couple was, the other would show up. We were meant to be friends.

Then on or after the 13th Organizers can post lists of people they know and those who are not on the list can add themselves. Maybe?

Jan,

You're reading my mind.

Yes, I thought that the bulk of people would be collected and the those who make changes would PM the organizer.

I see people posting on the thread itself messages with add me delete me but I think PM (after the 13th) is best. Otherwise it's a little like putting a message in a bottle and hoping the organizer see it.

 

[TiggersPal]

Did all our first time cruisers get their stuff booked last night/this morning? How did it go?

I hope my brother got on line while vacationing in Mexico.


.

Checked his FB - and he's posted nothing. I'm thinking about sending him an email or calling - according to him he got one of those "international" cell phones for the trip... think I'll ring him up...

 

[katypop]

We have a ressie at POFQ for the night we get off the ship - just a little down time so we don't have to drive straight home. Just called and saved $60.00.

That's great

 

[katypop]

I booked my stuff last night right at midnight eastern time. I was able to get want we wanted except for Palo Brunch.
As far as shore excursions here's what we will be doing:
Tortola by Land and Sea 12:15PM - 4:45PM
St. John Island Tour 8:15AM - 2:10PM
Will anyone be joining us on these tours?

Glad you got everything but the brunch You can try to add this once you board the ship though.

 

[lg3]

We have never gotten to book Palo Brunch before boarding, even when we had the REAS package and were up at midnight. Hopefully we will get lucky again to snag a ressie once onboard.

Anybody else up for the tequila tastings? That is a huge highlight of the trip for me!

Sounds good. Thanks for your organizational assistance!

Checkin' In... from Hot and Humid Disney World!!


Andy and I and our son's 2 best girl friends, decided to drive from NJ to FL.. Well, in Virgina, we were in a car accident and my car was TOTALED!! Thank Goodness no one was hurt.. but now my car is in VA and we had to get a rental car and I now have to deal with this mess..

A 17 year old girl, sped up, switched lanes, didn't pay attention that traffic was at a complete stop and never even braked.. Slammed into the rear end of us sending us in the rear end of the car in front of us..

Again, No one was hurt other then some bruises.. thank goodness..

I called Her insurance today and the girl nor her parents called to report the accident. She was even given a ticket..

when it rains it pours around here

GOOD TO HAVE YOU POST!!

I have been updating post 1 page 1 of this second thread to include info about cruisers. When people were on the first thread and checked in here I put an * in front of their DISer name.

You now have an *

Check to see the other info cruisers have posted and if you want to edit your entry on page 1 post 1 or add a photo for post 2, just post it here and I will add it there or send me a PM.

Thanks for checking in!!

Jan

I work nights so I never get a chance to get on here much. I lurk and read a bit and that is about it. I will make an effort to check in more now that it is only about 2 months away.

Yay thats awesome! Did you book the same time too?

I wouldn't be a stalker if I didn't book the same time!! It is funny though that I booked it and then thought I would check on the DIS and see if anyone was talking about the cancellation. That is when I saw you had already booked the one I did.

Depends on the day just kidding. We joke around about stalkers because we met on our last cruise and literally everywhere one couple was, the other would show up. We were meant to be friends.

You even got switched to the same hotel as us after the cruise. You can't stalk any better than that.

And yes, we were meant to be friends!! Someone thought that Boston and St. Louis went together. How's those Sox!!??

OMG! I'm glad everyone is all right. What a hassle to take care of the car and insurance. I had to go through that about a year ago when I was hit by a drunk driver and rolled my car...walked away from that with just some scary looking bruises. watched over me!

Got Palo dinner for 6 pm on Wed. night (no other time available). It was either that or on Sat. night. Didn't think the kids would want their first dinner on board without the parents. They should be fine by Wed. evening. The only excursion we booked was for parasailing on Castaway Cay. We thought we'd explore St. Thomas and Tortola on our own, maybe hit the beach and do a little shopping. Make it kinda easy on the kids. I hope to snag a Palo brunch while on board and maybe change Palo dinner to Thurs. night. We'll just have to wait and see. Is Wed. night ok for Palo? We'd be back on board by that time anyway.

 

[ibouncetoo]

Wed, St Thomas, we'll be back on the ship by 4:30PM. It's also rotational dining that night (not a 'special' menu), but you'll miss whatever restaurant you'd be in that night. ALTHOUGH, with your early Palo, you could pop into your regular restaurant if you so chose. Some folks do 'double dip' you know! That way you could experience it with the kids.

Gosh, sorry to hear that. At least no one was seriously hurt and cars can be fixed/replaced! I know, its just the hassle factor. Do watch out for whiplash though - especially if you plan to do rides at WDW. I was rear ended at a junction about 3 weeks ago and my neck is still not 100% yet.

I think you are well due for for some R&R and some rays of sunshine in your life!!!

-Kay
