September 17, 2006 - 11 Night Southern Caribbean Part 3

Tracy, it seems like I remember reading somewhere on the boards that if you ship stuff to the ship it should be in your stateroom waiting for you as long as it has all the correct information like your stateroom number.

So if I get an upgrade at the port, someone else will get my Rosa Regale and sunscreen

 

[Hygiene99]

can you do that if you are NOT a DVC memeber?

Of course you can !

but I was wrong on the cost
it is a weekend night, it will require more points than a weeknight .. Sorry !!

But still way less money, than if you paid the 300 plus dollars to book the room thru Disney !

Is anyone taking their grass skirt in their carryon day bag? I don't know for sure if our suitcases will be in our rooms in time for the sailaway party.

I plan on having mine in my rolling suiter bag that I use as carry-on ... you know ... .just in case.

This reminded me. For those who are planning to send your wine to the ship ahead of time, it is probably better to use UPS. The post office will not ship wine or liquids (if you tell them that's what it is). Anyone have any experience shipping stuff to the ship? Does it arrive in your cabin before sailaway?

We shipped 7 boxes for the May 2005 repo. All 7 were in the room before any of our luggage arrived.

HELP! I have tired the search function on our thread and it isn't working. Recently someone posted a link to a site for pirate costumes, I looked but didn't put it in my favorites and now I can't find it. Could be finding a needle in a haystack could be easier. I really thought it was last week but I just quickly went through all those pages (and yes, my eyes are not crossed) and I don't see any link (except for pirate pistols). To whoever posted that last week - please post it again, I promise to add it to my favorites.

Thanks!

that sounds cool, guess I'll have to look into the details on that, I would have thought you needed to be a member with access to the reservation number, etc. Might be a good way to try a few of them out.

Bubba Mug Club Question!!

OK, here's the deal, Kitster and I are leaving (from the left coast) on 9/9 for our 3-week-plus Honeymoon. Needless to say, we're already packing a lot of stuff. I am already planning on taking my Coronado Springs Mega-mug.

Does the 'Bubba Mug' Club have to have an official Bubba Mug, or would the CSR mega-mug suffice to allow this newlywed to join?

They'll think they got some sort of special gift. Must be one of those new CC gifts.

I don;t believe anyone will be turned away from the beverage bar regardless of mug or drinking aparatus, ie. caps with feeder lines from twin reservoirs, etc. but to be in the Bubba of the Month picture, I would assume they would frown on non-Bubba Kegs. So if you want to be included in the picture you must have a Bubba Keg.

WOO HOO, I GOT A TOP!!!!

Couldn't you bring both? Then you'd have enough drink for two days probably.

Good thought about grass skirt in the carry on....

We have yet to start packing for the cruise due to the house being on the market, normally we would have a bed covered with suitcases and stuff pilled all over the room.

So no liquid in carry on is this a TSA thing???? for flights as well as DCL??

Gail,

It seems like so long ago, but it was only Post # 8411.......posted last night.

We're packing for a 3 week vacation as it is, so no extra room for 2 huge mugs, especially since a lot of the items we usually pack in the carry-ons will now have to be checked. Besides, I've been able to find exactly 1 20oz Bubba-Mug in our area.

This is from the American Airlines site...

Maybe you could find one closer to the cruise that way you don't have to carry it the whole time.

Liquids are, I imagine, still allowed in DCL carry on's just not in airline carry on's. So you could pick up alcohol etc. once you arrive in Fla. I'm sure if DCL has any new rules they've been posted on their website.

i checked there too, nothing as of yet. they may still be figuring out if they need to tighten any of their rules due to this latest incident

Interesting, should have put this together with info from work, we have a couple of European flight planned for 2007, glad they are waving the excess baggage fees.
