September 22nd 4 day wonder

[jeleann]

The only places I have heard people talking about the braiding is at Nassau and CC. But I think that nearly all the tropical islands do the braiding. Being that I have never been before I can't answer.

You will be attacked as soon as you set foot off the dock. Finding someone to braid hair is NOOOOO problem. I don't remember them at Freeport but they were just setting up Freeport as a stop when we were there. I imagine it will be just like Nassau by now. It is also available on CC but without the pressure. However since that is the last stop you won't have it for the majority of your cruise.

Life jackets aren't mandatory unless they've been made so in the past year. Granted I didn't go to the kiddie beach.

If any of you are going to WDW before or after the cruise you can also check out the SEGWAY at EpCot. I can't remember the name of the place. It's not one of the innoventions but before them on the left. I'll find it and post it later.

 

[WorknFires]

YEAH!!!! My documents just came...................

 

[jeleann]

I think that we all have our docs now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(dmil) is at home waititng for the fed-ex man, but they are suppose to be there today.

Happy to report Ethen has no fever his ulcers are almost gone and one side of his throat looks a lot better. Kelsey's fever hasn't come back from this morning and she sounds fine now. She is wanting to go to dance class tonight ( It's the first class). But I think I'll make her wait til next week. Even I'm feeling better.

We are not going to WDW so hopefully they will have it on the ship.

Does anyone know what movies wil be playing. We saw a preview for Treasure Planet. It does not come out in theathers untill later this year, but was wondering if it might be available on the ship's theather? I guess I'm wanting to know if they play movies before they are released to the public?

Dress code question?


I have been reading all of the treads on dress code and can not figure out what the heck it is. My husband and I are going with no children and from what I have read our dinning rotation should be Tritons frist. This would be the first night does my hubby need a dinner jacket? The first night is supposed to be casual, right. He will be wearing a suit in Palos.

I'm so confused!

Any help would be great.

[jeleann]

The dinner rotation isn't assigned until you board the ship. Or atleast that is what I was told, if you know how please tell me.


Does anyone know if they sell stuff for scrapbooking on the ship?

 

[scottie]

Ok something interesting….I just received an email reply from DCL…they stated that the new dining times will be 5:45 for early and 8:00 for late for all cruises thru 10/3. This is different for everything we have read so far stating 5:30 and 7:45!

We wont be making it to Epcot this trip (I am very sad) so I will defiantly try to be in line to try the SEGWAY on the ship…if they are still offering it when we sail. I am also guessing the lines would be much smaller on the ship then they would be at Epcot.

Diner rotation is assigned once you board. From what I have read on this board there seems to be some standard format as to whom they tend to pick for what rotation, though I have NO clue!! Tritons and Palos are the only two that require a jacket or dress/pantsuit. But with the first night I had read it is casual so I would venture to guess they wouldn’t require a jacket if you had Tritons first night. Might be worth calling DCL to see what they say!

 

[WorknFires]

Dinner rotation is assigned once you are on board. If Tritons is your 1st night then you are "expected" to dress up. DH wore a jacket to Tritons on our 1st trip. He was miserable. 2nd trip he wore long sleeved dress shirt w/ tie and slacks. He fit in fine and felt much better. Honestly as long as you aren't dressed in shorts or a tank top, they won't care what you're wearing. It is "requested" that you dress up. It's not mandatory. This is highly debated on the boards but personally, I couldn't care less. I would love to meet each and every one of you but at the end of the cruise I don't have to have your approval to go home and sleep comfortably in my bed. LOL I detest the thought of dressing up on vacation. I wear a pressed uniform everday to work with ribbons, badges and polished shoes. Vacation to me is having to get away from that.

Scottie, it's just as well because you can only LOOK at SEGWAY at Epcot, not use it. But they do give you a lot of interesting information.

Jeleann, they will only be playing movies that have already been released. Treasure Planet won't play because as you've already stated, it comes out in November. (I was hoping too)

 

[tltjet]

Thanks for the help. I think that I will leave the jacket at home. He has a suit for Palos so I think that should be fine. I like your attitude Worknfires! My thoughts exactly!

Scottie, I don't think Disney can figure out what time dinner should be. I guess we will find out when we board.

jeleann, from what I have read on the boards it is not written in stone, but if you are late seating without children you usually get TAP. That is why I was wondering about the dress code for first night.

I can not believe how much planning I hve done for this vacation.

I still have not figured out what to do in Freeport. All my DH will say is suprise me. That helps doesn't it?

 

[jeleann]

I was really hoping it would because we have already watched Lilo & Stitch 2 times, but that movie is so cute I'd watch it again.
We haven't seen the Country Bears yet either.
Do they play any adult movies or are they just for the kids?


Dress code- it doesn't really matter ro me I like to dress up because I am a stay at home mom and rarely get the chance. My husband could care less either way as long as he gets to eat. My mother-in-law hated the idea she not a person who likes to dress up ever, especially on her vaction.


Jennifer

 

[jeleann]

DO YOU KNOW WHERE I CAN FIND WHAT MINE MIGHT BE? WE ARE EARLY SEATING WITH KIDS.

 

[tltjet]

Jeleann- I am not sure but I think young children it is APL. Don't quote me on that. I think I saw this in the Magical Cruise Guild.

See you all soon!

Jenifer

 

[jeleann]

jenifer-That is so hard for me to do with 1 n. Thanks!!!! I hope that is right because I don't want to have to get everyone dressed up on the first night. Do you mean apt instead of apl?
Where or what is the magical cruise guild?

I went to the scrapbook store to get some things for the album I will make when we get back. My son got into our office and put $5 worth of stickers all over his self and the desk. Luckly they came off the desk. Today has been one of those days.

I just hate it when we are not on the first page. Maybe this will bump us back.



Jennifer

 

[tltjet]

Your right APT, forgot what boat I am on. If you go to www.wdwig.com and go to the cruise section the guild is there. It tells you everything you wanted to know and more.

 

[WorknFires]

Jeleann, I imagine both Lilo & Stitch and the Country Bears will be playing on board. I personally thought Country Bears was cute. They will be playing Adult Films also. Last year when we were there they were playing Gone in 60 seconds. I remember seeing that Disney was producing a movie coming out soon that surprised me that Disney was behind it. I remember thinking that it was opening soon so I imagine it will be there. Start paying attention to the movies coming out by Disney in the next few weeks. They will be there and you can save your money at the box office.

[jeleann]

Jenifer, Thanks I'm going to check out that site after I'm done here?

Cheryl, I figure they would be. On another thread someone said they were currently showing Signs with Mel Gibson.

I JUST CAN'T HARDLY WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!! ONLY 3 MORE WEEKS ON SUNDAY! I started a count down chain for the kids. They think it's really neat, each night they take turns cutting off a link. ( like the ones at Christmas ). It's a BIG HIT!


Jennifer

 

[WorknFires]

SIGNS! That's it. I just saw it the other day and it surprised me that it was Disney. I would say I could've saved my money but the local theaters only charge Police and Fire 50 cents to get in so I'm not exactly out any money! LOL

If you haven't seen it be sure to see it on the ship. It was great! A little slow in some places but overall was really good. I couldn't believe how much Macculey (sp?) Culkins' little brother looks like he did at that age.

[jeleann]

Do you know what the fourth night rotation might be. Would it go back to the first's night? I was thinking of booking Palo's one night, but would want to eat at all three of the other restaurants. Can you book Palo's before you leave?

Jenifer, Thanks for the site it is great LOTS of information. I glanced over it very quickly. Planning on going back tommorow when I'm not so sleepy.

Jennifer

 

[WorknFires]

The 4th night will be the same as the 1st. Palo's cannot be booked in advance and I highly recommend that once you have your rotation that you go straight to where ever they are taking Palo's reservations this time and book them right away. They go fast. And they are worth EVERY penny (whew a whole $5 LOL plus gratuity of course).
