WAAAYTOOO

I always recommend that you have a stash of small bills with you wherever you go.

I looked in my CP (I am on the following week. 12-1) and the only shows that are showing up for reservations are Cats, Frozen in Time and the Comedy show. I will note, however, that the last time I checked, only Cats and FIT were listed so maybe they’re slowly adding them. I will check back later in the week.

Welcome, biggie !

Congratulations, Angela ! What a lovely surprise. Enjoy your new upgrade

No. If you make a pre-cruise Cruise Planner purchase using available OBC and then cancel that purchase, all of your OBC will be immediately refunded. I can’t think of any exception

That sounds familiar. Wonder where I’ve heard that before ?

Guilty as well...

We need a professional opinion. Speednoodles....tell us about anteaters. Of course, any animal with “Eaters” as part of their name suggests an unsavory personality... ??

I think I misread your OP. I thought you were saying that Disney has a park in Cartagena. I now realize that you are referring to the SHIP Disney Wonder. My mistake. Still very wild to think of crazed anteaters lurking about ( I always thought of them as pacifists).

Wow, I haven’t seen one of those “treat carafes” in years ! That used to be all you got at the Nightly Diamond Event.

Is this a real story ? Marauding anteaters ? Really ? Who even knew there was such a place as a Disney Wonder in Cartagena, Columbia ?

Yes, you can order food from the MDR to be served in the CK. Yes, it is extra work for the CK staff, as someone has to go and fetch it and bring it back. One thing that can definitely help minimize the extra work is to let the CK know ahead of time that you will be ordering food from the MDR. That way, they can prepare by having the “special” item on hand ahead of time. On lobster nights, they are generally prepared to provide lobster tails as it’s a rather common request and they usually have some on hand already. Just check the menus every day and let them know in the CK if you’re going to want a special delivery. It helps make the special order less of a PITA.

Welcome aboard !

Ugh. That is unsettling.

Tip: When they are about 30 minutes before beginning the muster drill, go find a comfortable seat in a common area on the deck where your muster station is (R Bar or Champagne Bar or whatever it happens to be) so that all of you and your mother can be comfortable. When they begin gathering for the muster drill, go and have your sea passes scanned by the person at your muster drill station and then go back and sit down. Someone can take your mother’s card for her and have it scanned. There’s no need for anyone to stand around outside or have your mother worry about getting around in her chair. Just make sure that all of your seapass cards gets scanned at the correct station and you can sit somewhere comfortable during the muster drill.

I AM old but can validate this stereotype as I am sitting in the bingo hall at our American Legion right now waiting for bingo to start. <sigh>

ThyriC, I’m so sorry that I never got back to you with the name of the new Concierge. The last day of the cruise was SO rough that they closed the outer decks to pax and disabled the elevators that go up to the CL. I am assuming that they CL was closed but don’t know for sure. I’m pretty sure that Ilona was the DL concierge last week. I guess they moved her up. Not sure who is in the DL now. Are the cruises back on schedule ?

I would agree that the Key is probably not worth the money on Grandeur HOWEVER - last Thursday when we disembarked from Grandeur along with 3000 of our closest friends at the same time, I was envious of those with The Key as I’m fairly confident that they got priority getting off the ship. The Key was sold out on that sailing. I imagine it was worth every cent at that moment !

YIPPEE !!! Have a safe and fun trip.

As I recall, the thermal spa areas include steam room, hot/dry room and thermal beds. There may be a couples' massage area. We never did that and so I am not certain. Of course, there are men's and women's changing/shower areas that are separate but all of the thermal spa areas are co-ed.

Better yet, just tell them you want the whole Maine lobster ! It's waaaay better than the warm water lobster tail, anyway. Since you will be SC you will not be charged anything for the whole lobster.

Subtle difference. I’m fairly sure the PJ person contacted them via the Genie

There aren’t any AT shows to reserve on the 12/1 sailing either. The only reservations available are Cats and Frozen in Time.

Have an awesome time ! Bermuda was beautiful earlier this week. I know you’ll have a great time.

This is very interesting. I didn’t think the Genies had any option to purchase cabanas for SC anymore. Good info
