Wonderful Panama Canal Sept 2014

Don't worry about the autograph book. Bring a mat for a picture frame or a pillow case, leave it at guest services with markers, when you board. it will be signed by all the on board characters and returned to your cabin before the cruise is finished. I usually include a bag of candy for the crew. I used the mat idea last time and purchased a picture of the characters and put it in the frame for each of my grandchildren they loved it.

Thanks for the idea about putting in a picture of the characters. I never thought about that.

Does anyone have any recommendations about Dolphinarus at Cozumel? I've read reviews and people either love or hate it.

We are the ones getting married

More kiwis on the cruise? Fantastic I don't think we've been on a Dcl cruise with other NZers before.

Awesome! There are 9 of us alltogether across 4 staterooms in different areas of the boat.
How many in your group?

We all have done it. Don't worry. My first 10 posts were me worrying about having visible tattoos when I wear shorts.... I have a sheep and a lantern on my ankles (on my Achilles tendons) because I am a knitter (with an amazing knitting needle scar between my pecs.... I don't know the way I can put that without words that could get me into trouble. I'm a female.... so between my pecs is between the...) so I got a sheep on my 30th and when I graduated my LPN program I got the Florence Nightingale lamp. I was so worried that people on a Disney boat would judge that. Live and learn.

So my mom wants me to get a picture of me and Belle with our noses stuck in books. Growing up I was (and still am) Belle. Always reading, people saying I was peculiar. So my mom is like "on this trip I want this picture. I'll put it in a silver frame" (which means the highest compliment in my parents house). She's even thinking of "letting me" bring her Octoberfest outfit, which is Belle's outfit...Yeah, I don't have room in my luggage for that.

I love it!!! I personally have no tattoos, I am far too fickle for something so permanent... But I love looking at what other people have had done.... Here's to many pairs of shorts to show off the artwork...

Whew - 15 pages in less than a week! I am finally caught up with the PM adds and am reviewing for emails posted on the thread...

I LOVE juniper and gin. They put it in meats?! Before my gut exploded my "go to" drink was gin/tonic... and everyone thinks I'm an old man.

I don't even know what gin tastes like - the one time I tried it I woke up intubated in an ED in restraints from the side effects of the allergic reaction. Never again thank you. Yes, juniper is actually a spice!

I sent you a request to be added to the Facebook page a while back. Is there something else I needed to do?

Did I get you finally?

Please add to fb jeffreykeane @ hotmail.com

Would love to know more about you - who are you sailing with?

Hello all! We are pretty late to the party with just under two months left! My name is Amy and my husband, myself, and our one year old daughter will be cruising with Disney for the first time! We hope to make some new friends along the way and join in on some activities. Can't wait!
Oh! I would love to be added to the FB group. My email is Amy.t.smith @gmail.com

I just got some information about what's happening on which nights. Note that this is all preliminary, and may change before we depart – or even after we depart – from San Diego. I've also added some information we already had to make it somewhat more complete:

Friday, September 12th – Show: "Let The Magic Begin"
Saturday, September 13th – FORMAL NIGHT – Show: "Golden Mickey's"
** Clocks go forward one hour at bedtime **
Sunday, September 14th – Port: Cabo San Lucas – no information
** Clocks go forward one hour at bedtime **
Monday, September 15th – Port: Puerto Vallarta – no information
Tuesday, September 16th – no information
** Clocks go forward one hour at bedtime **
Wednesday, September 17th – "Taste of California"
Thursday, September 18th – "Mexicali"
Friday, September 19th – "World of Flavor"
Saturday, September 20th – PANAMA CANAL TRANSIT – "Panama"
Sunday, September 21st – Port: Cartagena – PIRATE NIGHT – "Pirates"
Monday, September 22nd – "Prince & Princess"
Tuesday, September 23rd – FORMAL NIGHT – "Captain's Gala"
Wednesday, September 24th – Port: Cozumel – "Master Chef"
Thursday, September 25th – Show: "Till We Meet Again"

There are no "semi-formal" nights. For all evenings other than the three indicated, dinner dress will be cruise casual.

In terms of shows, there will be several nights without the Disney/Broadway-type shows. They normally bring in outside acts, typically comedians, magicians, hypnotists, tribute bands, or something else. At this point, I don't know what these outside acts will be.

** I'm not 100% sure about the time zone changes, but this is when they happened last year on the EBPC!

Hope this helps!

See You Real Soon!
Richard

Correction on not having been on cruise. I for got about a four night cruise to Mexico. Same ports of call as first two no this cruise. It was with Carnival and we didn't like it.
