The Fantasy's First MNSSH Cruise: Zombies of the Caribbean October 27, 2012

Yes she sure did, was a nice treat. But was harder to adjust to crew quarters after having all that space.

I imagine, it sounds like their cabins are very small.

I am a very very late comer... In fact, just started to gather all I will need in the next few days. Is it still okay to join you guys?

This is our 2nd cruise, the 1st one was the one when we bought into DVC. We are very happy to be on the cruise again. We will be my FIL/MIL as well. We are ready to have FUN!!!

I just saw that this was your first post....you will not be able to PM me until you have 10 posts (at least I think it's 10). So, in order to get around that little annoyance, just keep posting on our thread til you hit 10. Even if it's "HI" or questions....

Welcome aboard!

 

[ScrappyGracie]

Thank you! We totally started late this time around as I have been so busy with work. But I would love to get together to do something on the cruise with everyone.

 

[ScrappyGracie]

Ha... I thought I could "cheat" a little by just sending you an email. But that of course require more posting. Well, normally "talking" is really not my problem... But sticking with a quota is something else..

[ScrappyGracie]

Well, may be I will ask some questions... With he Fish extending thing, I understand that we are too late to participate, and that's okay. But what exactly is it, is there somewhere that I could read up?

Also, this is only our 2nd cruise, any good tips for us? Should we stop by grocery store to get water, or should we "buy" the water package on the ship?

 

[ScrappyGracie]

Who know it's so hard for a talkative person to fill up the quota for 10 posts!!! Snapping myself for starting so so so late!! Okay, I just found out that we cannot get to the terminal before 11:00 am. And the limo company cannot pick us up in Orlando until 11:00. We certainly would like to get there early, is there any other limo company that you guys can recommend? We have four adults and one princess. The princess does comes with some luggage, glass slippers and all, you know.

 

[ScrappyGracie]

I am almost ready to give up on finishing up 10 posts...

I apologies to others who are wondering why is this crazy woman keep posting to the group... answer, Gracie need 10 posts to pm the the person so that we can get ready to play in a few days!

Another question: For the parents with school age kiddies, how did you break it to the teacher that you are taking the child out of school. I am doing to it tomorrow and hope to get all the homework assigned so that I can take it with us to the cruise. How do you handle this? Our child is in 1st Grade.

 

[ScrappyGracie]

Any recommendation for all these magnetic stuff on the door? what kind of magnetic paper would you get?

 

[ScrappyGracie]

Any other tips - packing? Oooo... I heard that laundry no longer required coins, how about detergent, do we have to buy detergent ahead of time? Or do they sell it for the price of arm and leg?

 

[ScrappyGracie]

Yay!!! Post No. 10!!!

What do your child like better? Oceaneer Club, or Oceaneer Lab? I just realized that they have a animator studio in there!!!! That was one of our favourite thing to do at DW!!!! I guess only she gets to do that on the cruise..

We've used Omega Transportation a few times...they are great. They have their own website and will send you a quote. You pay once the trip is over!

If you look at our first page, there is a link for FE suggestions and also a link to our other page (sorry we have three - lol) that has pics of ours. You hang it outside your door off the fish and leave little treats for each other.

We always just buy a case of water on the ship. Easier to deal with albeit, pricier!

Stand back when the teacher flips! I told mine a couple of weeks ago! LOL I got some of the work last week so they could start on it early. They will also have the flight to and from and Sunday to finish up...poor kids! But I gave them a choice!

Any recommendation for all these magnetic stuff on the door? what kind of magnetic paper would you get?

I print mine, cut them out, laminate them, cut again (so there is a lip and the lamination doesn't come apart) then use magnets that I cut to size and have sticky paper on the back and tape to the laminate. I bring extra tape for the magnets (not the cabin doors!)...

I don't know about the money, but I found little packets of Tide at Target for 98 cents!

My now 13 year old always liked the Club better...I'm a little worried he isn't going to like the Edge.... But I am hopefull!
