September 15 Wonder Roll Call

[Lowe6]

Thanks alot Kate. Here's an update on my first 3 wks of college. So far I have perfect grades on everything which I think is awesome since I haven't gone to school in 15 yrs. but I have a feeling that may very well change w my classes tommorow
but for the moment it's A ok

 

[Gillian]

Great job on those A's! We'll sure to quiz you when we get on the Wonder Which cabins are noisy, what is the best room service item, etc.?

I had some minor surgery yesterday, for endometriosis. It wasn't exactly fun, but I feel ok. The anesthesia was the worst part. And the recovery room, where they yelled at me a lot. I was freezing & they just came over & told me I had 15 blankets already. Well, tell that to my chattering teeth! The nurse in the area after that was a doll & more than made up for the no more blankets for you person.

We'll all deserve a vacation in September!

Gillian, should have concentrated on the warm sunshine and white sands of the beach you'll be on very soon. Those images always warm me up. Glad to hear nothing's going to hold you back from the cruise.

Lowe6, keep up the good work! Nothing more rewarding for the effort you put in than to see those A's come back.

Today (7/16) we finaly paid our trip off. Let the fun begin!

 

[Lowe6]

Gillian I hope you feel beeter soon. Our prayers are with & God knows when a woman gets messed with it ain't no fun.

 

[Katesdad]

Wow, it's amazing how far back this thread can get when no one is keeping it bumped up.

My TA (works for AAA) almost bumped us off the cruise. She forgot to make our final payment on the 60 day due date. Had to get someone else in her office to take care of it for her. That made us a little nervous. Guess if we show up and they don't let us on the ship we'll know why.

Can't wait for those docs to get here.

Gillian, hope you're feeling better and getting rested for the trip.

 

[Gillian]

Hi! Here's a bump to keep us on the 1st page!

I am feeling much better, thank you. Now I just have to lose a little weight before we sail & I'll be all set!

Katesdad, I hope your TA sends you an apology note! It would have been horrible to lost your spot. I'm sure everything else will be fine.

 

[Katesdad]

You know what's funny about that, I've given her ample opportunity to at least admit that she goofed, but she hasn't as of yet. We aren't holding out hope, but we are going to stay on top of things until we get the docs in our hands.

Any lurkers out there not signed in to our cruise yet?

 

[Lowe6]

Hey Kate nice to know everything worked out ok for ya. The cruise in Jan I didn't get doc's till 1day before we drove out & they had to overnite them. This time if my doc's aren't here by Aug 31 I will be calling them. Only 2 more months.........

 

[Katesdad]

I don't think I'll be able to wait that long! If I don't have cruise docs by the second week of August, my TA will be hearing from me daily. Nothing better than having that paperwork in hand, knowing that the cruise date is coming just around the corner.

 

[Gillian]

Katesdad, remind me not to use your travel agent!

 

[Gillian]

Did anyone get a letter about a change in dining times? Just read that the sept 8th wonder will have the 5:30/7:45 dinner times.

 

[Katesdad]

Gillian, I just got off the phone with my TA (yes, she is still my TA regardless of her shortcomings). She has not received a letter but will call DCL and ask for me. If and when I hear back from her I will post an update to this.

 

[vllygrrl]

I was wondering about those dining times too. I'm kinda hoping that the change is for our cruise too - 7:45 for dinner seems about perfect.

 

[Katesdad]

Per my TA who just got off the phone with DCL, the experiment for dining time changes will not take place on the 9/15 cruise. As I had second seating, I was sorry to hear that. For those with first seating, I'm sure you're relieved.

Docs haven't come in yet. Hope I get those soon. It's getting closer!

 

[Gillian]

Should we believe her?

I wonder why they're changing it on some sept cruises but not ours? It doesn't really matter. We're going to have a great time no matter what!

 

[Katesdad]

Yeah, I'd have to say I trust that she called DCL and was told what she relayed to me. Now, do we trust DCL to be giving her the straight poop? After reading these boards, you have to wonder at times if the CMs really do know what's going on. Anyway, since we haven't gotten a letter yet, I'd say we are most likely going to be back at the standard 6:00 and 8:30.

 

[Gillian]

I forgot to say thank you for calling & asking your TA about it. I think my TA is at WDW, lucky her!

 

[Katesdad]

Lowe6, how goes the schooling?

VllyGrrl, hope you've kept up that winning streak in AC. Are you still planning on doing Atlantis casinos?

Can't say for certain, but I'm pretty certain I'll be treating the Nassau day as a day at sea. Just keep those storms away so we can enjoy CC.

 

[vllygrrl]

Katesdad - I'm not sure if we'll bother much with the casinos at Atlantis. We'll probably stop in to look a little bit, but it seems silly to gamble much without comps when we at least get something back in AC. We went a week ago, and essentially broke even, which I suppose is better than losing. We'll probably get off the ship in Nassau to do a little shopping, maybe go to Atlantis for a little bit, and stay on the ship the rest of the day.

 

[Gillian]

vllygrrl, we're going to AC on Auguest 10th. Can you please send some of your gambling luck our way? We'd like to win enough for a photo package from Shutters
