so we are staying CL at the AKL 12/6-12/13

and booked through
AAA(begining to wonder if this was the right thing to do or should i just do it on my own--we are not getting a discount because there weren't any avail at the time of booking and i just don't trust TA to keep calling to see if any has opened

)........

ANYWHO----this is our first time staying CL and i am wondering when are the CM IPO's able to assist w/ ADR, gifts in the room, and special planning for a birthday? is the 180 day mark or prior? anyone have any suggestions for something in the room for b-day (already thinking about the cake).
Any help or suggestions would be great!
