I do that in addition to using a website called TripIt. TripIt also has a free iPhone app that stores your itinerary on the phone so you don't need to use the internet when you want to look at your plans.

Congratulations to all of you that were able to get your ressies!!!!

I was actually in bed by 10pm (east coast) as I am not yet a CC member.

That is early for me these days but I worked all day in the yard and I was exhausted.

I actually put a spreadsheet together of everyone signed up for the Fish Extender gift exchange. It has a listing of all the names, room numbers, and ages of kids that I could find between Flo's list and the Photo Gallery page.
This was just to help me get everything organized for our gifts. It's in Excel and if anyone wants it before Flo sends out her final list let me know and I will send it along. It's nothing fancy.

Have a great day!

Lisa,

That is how mine is for the mini navagators (excel spreed sheet)that will be given out at the meet.

I have one more name to add to the list but I am waiting for the age of the children.

If you would like a copy of my completed list e mail me your e mail address or PM me and next month I will send to you the completed list.

take care
flo

Oh no, I don't remember if I did that or not, but it's to late to retry. I guess we are going to have to try onboard. (My wife is going to kill me)

For Palo's brunch, what is typically offered on the menu? I have reservations for brunch at Palo for 10:30 on the day we are at sea.

Nobody really has a well written out menu, mostly because Palo doesn't have a written one either.

Palo Brunch is a chef creation thing.
It is in two stages, that you will be toured past before being seated.

First up is a number of buffet islands,
-one of seafood which has a very wide selection including shrimp, crab, etc. This is the *only* place on board you will find the extra large already cooked and peeled shrimp. Yes, I'm one of those people who is more fussy and don't enjoy the peeling part.
-one of breakfast items including the most incredible bread onboard, Stollen, which you need to make sure you put on some whipped cream and preserves.
-one of cheese and sliced meats.
-and one of decadent desserts.

Second stage,
You will also be toured past the plate items, that you order for arrival after you've finished from the buffet. There is a selection of both breakfast and dinner choices, and the pizzas(I think).

Now, one thing to be aware of with Palo and the pizzas. I know they get rave reviews, and they are excellent. But especially for the midwest and east coasters, you need to disconnect the word pizza as you know it. What they call pizza in Italy is a very distant cousin from what we're used to from the local restaurant or the freezer case.

Palo Brunch - yum!

OK, so in regards to not being able to access my cruise plans last night......

Around 1:00 am I sent an e-mail to DCL explaining my frustration, this morning I received an e-mail back stating that the reason I was not allowed access was because our reservation had shown that it was not paid in full yet. This upset me further because when we were on the cruise last year we added BLT points and received a free cruise, I then added our children using our DVC points. All of that was handled last fall.

I think that she noticed the error and fixed the problem because I was able to go into my cruise plans this morning and book some spa treatments but of course no Palo brunch. I did get a 9pm dinner on the last night, it's a little late, but if that's all I can get then I'll take it. I reallllllly want my chocolate souffle!

I guess we will be heading over to wavebands to see if they can help us.

Good luck to those still trying.

Very interesting because at about 6:20 this morning there wasn't any brunch availability on Tuesday.
