Please note that those in the ALL group are not automatically being added to the last minute Flit group, unless they request me to add them.

Yes, please add us to the last minute list as well.

Hi, all! How long/how many posts does it take to 'Earn My Ears'? Assuming that's when I'd be able to PM. Thanks!

I am not sure, but there is a board you can just make posts on until you can PM.

You will love 5150. We were in the same room on the starboard side when we booked *VGT one cruise, and loved being on deck 5!

If you get this information before May 15th, you may also PM me or post on here.

In order to keep this safe and fun for all, please list all Allergies or items you can't have for religious or other reasons (don't care what the reason is, just the items, such as alcohol, pork, coffee, etc.):
Please specify if these items should not be given to your cabin at all or if it applies to specific people in your cabin. If it applies to specific people, please specify.

You can also text or call my cabin number on the wave phones, unless I let everyone know that we had a last minute cabin change.

I will have printed lists and will update them by hand with any of these changes and distribute them the first day of the cruise.

Some notes about Customs:
Remember the fines can range anywhere from $100-$50,000 and possible jail time per offense.

• Please check the following site for details on what is not allowed:
  • http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/security-securite/prohib-eng.html
• One thing that they don't make clear, but I have seen on many websites, you must declare all food items when entering into Canada and it is strongly suggested that they have food labels in English.

When in doubt, declare it.

If you don't declare it and you should have, you risk fines and/or jail time, so I cannot stress enough how important it is to declare everything that you should.

I am not trying to scare anyone, I just want to emphasize how important it is to be aware of the regulations and not take anything in you shouldn't and make sure you declare everything you should.

I've been away for a bit sick with strep and just finally looked over the final list. I know it's late and I hope not too big of a problem but my son's name was entered wrong. My 6 year old is Cooper. He's listed as Copper on the list.

I just thought of somethings, in the past, we have linked cabins with others from Disboards, so that we dine together and have had a great time meeting people from the dis on the ship this way.

I was wondering if anyone is interested in doing this? Either in multiple groups or all together? Just a thought.

Here is some information about us:
We are two adults without any children at this point. We live near Disneyland and love going to Disneyland, Disney World and on the cruises. I am the IT & AutoCAD Manager at my work, my wife is in school to become a teacher.

Hi there. We've enjoyed dining with others from the roll call too. I'm traveling with my two sons, age 6 and 9. My husband has to work. I'd be up for sharing dining but my kids really like meeting other kids that we're usually assigned to. It also keeps them occupied having other kids to interact with and I can have adult conversations. Maybe we could do a meet up for a drink? My kids do love going to the club so I end up alone a fair amount of the time when we cruise without my husband. I like to crochet and usually bring little projects I can do in an hour or two like baby gifts for friends, etc.

Yes, we will be watching it from Palo!!

I wasn't sure when I made his gift, I thought Copper was different, but thanks for letting us know, I will re-personalize his gift. (no biggie)

I'm sorry I didn't catch it sooner. I've had strep for a week and didn't verify after she did the final list. I showed him last night and he said, you didn't name me Copper did you and we've been saying it wrong? lol

[Jonathan Barron]

Since we are close to closing the FLIT FE group, please update it with those that have requested to be added.
Thanks!!

 

[Meades]

We are also personalizing our FE gifts with first names, however there are some that do not have names.

McGeez - need adult names
GoofyZepedas - need all names
My3luckycharms - need adult names

If you could provide them that would be great, if you are uncomfortable with it I unstand, and I will come up with another alternative.

Last attempt to get the below first names.

GoofyZepedas - need all names
My3luckycharms - need adult names

Will be seeing you all soon.

 

[RoniBoBoni]

We haven't been added to the FLIT group yet, but would like to be added as we are doing ALL groups:

Cabin 2628
Isaac, adult
Veronica, adult
Eli - 11 yo boy
Bella - 7 yo girl

I am wondering if there will be a new list to print on the 12th? I print the ALL GROUP and the "GROUP CLOSED" is covering some info.... Also, this may be too much to ask.... but I am wondering if we can put all these in cabin order so that we aren't running around too much? If not, I'm sure I can highlight each deck in a different color and deliver that way. Unless someone has a better solution - much appreciated!

 

[MelAllen]

Does anyone know if we will be able to see the coastline while we are cruising? And will we be able to see whales?

 

[MileHighCruiser]

We may see whales but we'll be too far out, I believe, to see the coast. We've never seen the coast on other Pacific Coastals.

[cmwade77]

Sorry for the delay, it's been a bit hectic here, I have now updated all of the lists. If your name and cabin does not appear on the Flit list and you would like to be included in that group as well, please let me know. If I have missed you somehow, I apologize, once again, please just let me know and I will get you added.

Just a reminder that this last minute group closes on May 12th, which is Tuesday, so if you want to join it as well, please let me know.

 

[GoofyZepedas]

Has anyone done Express Walkoff in Vancouver before?

What is that?

 

[McGeez]

What is that?

GoofyZepedas, my understanding is that you have the option to carry your bags off the ship (vs. putting bags outside your stateroom the night before and following the standard debarkation process). It begins 30-minutes prior to the standard debarkation start time. We are looking to do it because we have a planned activity in Vancouver that we'll need to get to as early as possible. So I was just wondering if anyone has done that process before and could speak to how things tend to move with customs in Vancouver.
