Before I share... Happy Memorial to all my US friends. and thank you to all that have served, are serving, or that lost a loved one who was serving so that others could enjoy the freedom that we have become accustomed to. My heart goes out to those that have lost, please know that you are in my prayers.
And onto something very frivolous in comparison...
Last week I was able to book stuff for the cruise. I did some dining, and that was about it. Too many questions. So, I started to look at what all we wanted to do, what all I needed to do an I gave up and sent the list off to DCL Concierge! I didn’t hear back right away, but hey, I sent three pages of stuff, so I wasn’t really expecting much in the way of speed.
That said, on Wednesday I was a bit worried that I had heard nothing. By Thursday (with all the work stuff) I just wanted a yes, we have it, but instead I got a bunch of sure we can do that’s!! Needless to say Autumn is a wonder!!
So, I have my massage (when I wanted it – which wasn’t even a listed time), we got High Tea for 16 (Yep, me and the DIS ladies!!), we expanded brunch to 4 people, got an exception on the galley tour so that Stephen can come and see the galley, and the list goes on. We did not get a bridge tour, but the way they said no makes me think that they just don’t do these anymore… We may try again on the ship though…
We also found out that the requested servers are either not on board (Eva didn’t resign her contract) or are not in dining (Laura – where are you?). We also learned that Pascal will be on vacation – spending time with his 6 year old, versus ours – which is great! Although we will miss seeing him again! And we learned that Maricar will be on board. We have requested her as our stateroom hostess, and if that pixie dust hits us the kids will be in heaven!! (Me too, she is AWESOME!!)
So, I was waiting on the bad news – thinking it was coming, but it never did (well, for work it did, but we are not going there again!). We learned that if we send our magnets ahead of time that they will decorate the door for our arrival! This is very exciting as I was wondering how to get all the surprises to really be surprises…
Still need to figure out some of the ports, so more on those later!
