Wild Turkeys and Dancing Banana Heads Cruise 11/25/06

[TiggerKing]

Someone PLEASE clear up some confusion . What is the actual time we can log on and start making Ressies. I'm in NJ...does that make a difference? Is it set-up in such a way that all the different time zones log on together?
Last cruise DH and I had booked that Romance at Sea package so our ressies were done ahead of time. I haven't seen any info on that this time. Did they do away with that does anyone know.
Kelly

Hey Kelly, great to see you are still around us!

The REAS (Romantic Escape) package is still being offered, it is just that most people don't see that there is a huge advantage that offsets the cost. It used to be that concierge and REAS were the only ones who could do booking ahead of time. So, when they started online ressies for everyone, and pulled the massages from the package, most people decided it wasn't worth the cost.

As for the time for reservations, everyone is set at the same time. Reservations can be made (for those who can book at 90 days) starting at 3:00 a.m. Eastern on Sunday, August 27. Those on the west coast would be able to make ressies at midnight. So, if you want to log on right when they are available, you will need to be online at 3:00 a.m. in NJ!

Hope this helps!

CARRIE AND FAMILY!!! Here are your honorary/mandatory bananas to get you started: By the way, I'm with Bob ... been there, done that, not fun. But it ALWAYS works out for the best in the long run !

Kelly, good to see you again! Thought maybe we scared you off ! PM your e-mail address to me and I can send you the complete list with everyone's info, including all the little bananas in our group!

Cheri: Just remember ... NEW is BETTER ... always!!

Tonya ... Bill wants to wear a coconut bra ? Hmm ... I think I missed that post!!

Linda: Plum is definitely one of my favorite colors!

Wendy: Congrats on getting everything back up and running! Here, have a nana

Denise: Any chance you'll have a pic of both puppy dogs to post? I'd love to see them (I'm also trying to help you get to that 1000 post goal Kathy made for you!!!!). We had a visitor last weekend (my brother's dog). She so good but SO needy ... wants to be held ALL the time!!

Good Afternoon to all,
I am alittle confused on the time that you can on on-line and book the ressies??

Carrie: Aboard

Kelly: Welcome Back =)

Well DS just got up!! Got to go

 

[TiggerKing]

Good Afternoon to all,
I am alittle confused on the time that you can on on-line and book the ressies??

Lynn: what can we help you with understanding? Let me see if I can answer your potential questions:

When can I book my ressies?
Most, if not all, should have received a letter from DCL telling you the date you are able to book Palo, Spa and Excursions, but here are the parameters:
Cat 1-3 and those with REAS Package: 105 days out (August 22)
Returning Cruisers (Castaway Club - Must have it on reservation): 90 days out (August 27)
All Others: 75 days out (September 11)

The online reservation system will open up at 3:00 a.m. EST on the date you are able to book, and you can access the system anytime after that. You must have already set up a registration on DCL's web site in order to access the reservations area.

Any other questions you have, we will try our best to help!

Thanks TiggerKing!!! I had a feeling that was the case. Oh well....I guess DH is going to be REALLY tired on Sunday

Well, I guess it's official....we are part of the group. I sent all of our info. to Woogal. There's no escaping now, hu? We are official bananas now

We look forward to meeting all of you.

welcome aboard to all our new nana heads. for the guys- rock out with your nana's out (did i say that?) and your crazy outfits. although i think tux shorts and high top red sneaks and mickey yellow would be perhaps better.......i dont know.... and hey for all of you ladies maybe if the guys look crazy as a nana we will look smoking hot so who cares right? and maybe since they will feel bad for us and our loony toony men we will get special privledges lol!

i will be waking up around 530 to make our ressies on sunday morning before i gotta leave for work at 630. later nannas!

Hi Carrie! Hi Carries family!
Welcome back Kelly...good to see ya again.... SEEEEEEE....we're not so bad, now are we? (shussshhh, you guys...you'll scare her again!!).

I had a really bad day at work but the UPS man made it all better... I got two shirts for the cruise INCLUDING my shirt for pirate night!!!!). Woo was so proud of me for not getting any outrageous colors like pink or orange (btw...I got a hit in the head for even THINKING red converse tennis shoes).

Ok....going downstairs to watch Poseidon... it was that or Larry the Cable Guy----I DONT THINK SO.

Enjoy...
Ps....Does anyone here watch Lost? Woo and I are really avid fans and I know she'd love to swap theories....

 

[TIGGER41681]

Thank you TiggerKing for you help. I will make DH get up at 3am on a Sunday to make the ressies!!
Talk to you all tomorrow!!

 

[Dixielady908]

Good evening fellow Turkey's:

Welcome Carrie and family. Glad we didnt scare you off while you were lurking....were kinda crazy but harmless well that's what we keep telling everyone.

Bad news: My one niece and her family are cancelling their cruise. Just not able to swing it right now. It's sad, I really fell bad.

Shell: I will have my son try and post a picture for me. I'm just way to computer challenged to do this. So when I can catch him at home for more that 2 minutes I will post.

Well I guess that's it for now. I will be back, cuz I have to make my 1000 post goal.

Denise

 

[LAMPSKIES]

Going to Bristol Tenn tomorrow for the NASCAR races Fri. and Sat. night so talk at ya all on Monday.....Vette is full of gas, top is down and cooler is full!!!! LOL

 

[Dixielady908]

Have a fun and safe trip.

Good Morning Nanas,
Off to pick up my dad for his surgery. One of the benefits of working in a hospital is that you get "star" treatment when its a family member so at least I'll be able to go and check on him since I have access to all areas of the hospital.

Talk to ya'll soon
Wendy

 

[feenie]

3 months from today we will be boarding the ship!!!!!!!!!

I am so excited to make our spa/palo ressies! I don't have my heart set on any particular day or time for high tea, brunch or Dinner at Palo, but DH would kill me if I booked dinner for Pirate night! He had so much fun in the dining room that night and I think it is the night he is most looking forward to this trip.

Have a great weekend everyone!!!

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Howdy everyone,

Denise, i am so proud of you, the # of posts is growing for you.

Nothing happening here today just stopped by to keep us bumped up this morning.


IT'S FRIDAY

Kathy

 

[JanDave]

TGIF Nana Heads!!!!!

Kathy: Fess up -- how many more cruises do you have booked after ours???!!! We're targeting Feb or March 08 for our next DCL cruise.

We're meeting up with another DIS couple tomorrow. We cruised with them on the Magic in 9/04. Sunday is my 8 week old GD's baptism.

Have a great Friday!

Jan

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Ok Jan,
I will fess up, only 2 right now after this one.
11/24/07 7 day Eastern 4/5/07 3 day on the Wonder (Easter weekend)

However on this cruise we will probably book another one or two farther out in 08 is they are posted. We would be doing another 7 day in 07 but we are going to go back to Oregon for a week to visit our families. Parents are getting to old to travel now so we need to go and see them isntead of them trying to come out here.
With DH's job we usually get to zip out spur of the moment on a 3 day once or twice a year too. Just depends on his work.

How about you Jan, any future cruises booked???
If your even thinking of one I am still all alone on my 4/5 thread, I have the ship to myself I guess. I would love to have someone book that cruise too!!!

Kathy

 

[LindaBabe]

GOOD Friday Morning to ya!

Shell, Sorry, I think red converse would be absolutely ADORABLE with Mutt's dark suit. Feet don't show in the photo's anyway, unless you specifically request it.

I'm usually awake at 3:30. Just watch though, Sunday, when it matters, I'll sleep in.

Hope everyone has a lovely day!

 

[TiggerKing]

Going to Bristol Tenn tomorrow for the NASCAR races Fri. and Sat. night so talk at ya all on Monday.....Vette is full of gas, top is down and cooler is full!!!! LOL

I knew there was something I liked about you Ron! I will look for you on TV!

 

[sptweedle]

Hey guys, I have another question. My wife was talking to a friend of hers and he told her we made a HUGE mistake booking a cruise past September because the seas are too rough. Have you guys heard of this? The TA that booked us is a friend of ours and didn't mention anything about it so I was wondering if you guys have experienced rough seas past Sept. Not that it really matters, just more Bonine!
