I've been waiting for a MC avatar. I love it too! Thanks for sharing.

I checked with Member Services to see if they would be offering pre-sail advance purchase of T-shirts and/or sweatshirts as was done for Alaska member cruise. They said no advance sales for this cruise.

I was wondering if that was the case with the advance merchandise sale. Too bad. Even with the presale for our AK cruise, the lines to get into the store to buy those shirts and sweatshirts were crazy long. I wouldn't want a repeat of that.

Just reminding here again about deadline for Candy Exchange! I have contacted those who have not given me the information, those that I could. At least one does not have enough posts to get a conversation started.

Also:

Interest in Breakfast Meet
Day 2 Day at Sea
Meet in Atrium at 7:55 AM for 8 AM seating at Tritons!

That is interesting . I called late last week, and I got a different response. The person I spoke with recalled seeing an email awhile back regarding our cruise. He could not find it, but put me on hold, and said that "behind the scenes" people said to keep checking. Hmmm

 

[bobbiwoz]

We are not at August 15 yet, but it looks as if the tentative Candy Exchange list with cabins will be the final one!

If anyone has not responded, or of anyone else wants to join, there is still a little bit of time!

I hope the response you received is the correct one! I would rather not have to wait on the line.

Ok sign up for Candy Exchange is closed! Look for the conversation from me. I sent it out a little while ago!

We'll be leaving NJ later this week, the next time we come back will be just before this MC!

Perhaps we were lucky, but DH & I did not have a long line when buying our MC shirts last year. We went during one of the dinner times, at least that's what I remember. We are wearing them in our MC picture that we took as our gift. We picked the meet and greet with Anna and Elsa as our freebie.

Thanks for your work on the avatar! Finally got around to using it. Can't believe we're just 42 days out!

For those of you touring Halifax with us.

I just got word from Go North Tours that they have received their permit to pick us up at pier 31...awesome.

That's great news! Am very much looking forward to this tour!

Me too! So happy Laila was able to work this out. She really came thru!
So we'll be the first off the ship as she docks in Nova Scotia and Laila will be waiting. Great!!

Really looking forward to our cruise. We're 6 wks away!

Currently figuring out logistics for NYC. Work schedules may force us to hop NJ Transit in to NY Penn Station on the day of sail.
Or we'll drive and park.

I'm hearing horror stories re: Manhattan construction gridlock. Anybody in the area who can give some insight?
Rumor has it several projects were greenlighted simultaneously which is adversely affecting traffic patterns. But I'm trying to find out if this is a real problem or not in and around our area.

poison ivy - there's always construction - and as long as there are no accidents you can work traffic patterns / rush hour and get there early enough for scheduled check-in - we're coming in from Northern NJ (8 miles from NYC) and since we're platinum we're looking to leave around 9:30-10am for an on-board asap

 

[bobbiwoz]

Ordered Canadian money today. Thank you so much for setting up the van in Halifax!

My math is terrible. I just told somebody this morning that I was 7 weeks out. What was I thinking?

There is a lot of construction on the west side that could affect crosstown traffic, but if you're driving into the city from New Jersey, you should be okay.
